Im great at mechanic work. I can fix just about anything and don’t have to know much about it, I can usually look at how something is built and figure out how it works and how to fix it.

I can drive or operate anything. Great at operating a backhoe or trackhoe.

I can back up a trailer flawlessly.

I’m a damn good shot with a rifle or shotgun.

I cannot blow a duck call worth shite I always invite someone to hunt with me who can do it much better.

I suck at gardening. Just not my thing. I can grow easy stuff like squash, cucumbers but not much more. I best stick to growing catfish because I’d go broke rowcropping

I can’t do woodwork or carpentry. I don’t know why, just cannot do it. I struggle to hang a picture on the wall straight, much less build something with proper measurements and it be sturdy and look right. I blame the fact I have poor eyesight and terrible depth perception so things look straight to me when they really aren’t. But oddly I’m decent with metalworking and welding so I dunno

Totally suck at 12v & 110 electrical. No skills at all.

If it’s got wheels or tracks, I can run it.

I can do electrical, I work with mostly 480v 3 phase though. Part of the job on the farm

Not a pro at it, but I do have a masters degree in Afro engineering

Better than avg with most firearms.

Absolutely terrible at knot tying. I mean, that is a foreign language to my brain. Everything is a square knot in my book, no slips allowed.

So bad with a gun I took up bow hunting in my late teens and never went back to a gun unless I’m hunting flying birds, squirrel's, rabbits.

I’m good at creating food plots, running prescribed burns and generally improving wildlife habitat.

My dad is one of the most handy, hardworking people I know. He is a good mechanic, average electrician, great with sheetrock/floating/carpentry, plumbing is is not half bad, and paints cars for a living the last 40 years.

But I swear tie down straps are like calculus to him He cannot do them.

I'm really good at:
1. MacGyvering just about anything
2. Using technology in creative ways
3. Crypto, volatility trading and making money
4. Pretty much all categories of survival skills

I'm not that great at:
1. Singing, dancing, playing musical instruments
2. Multi tasking
3. Negotiating
4. Accepting people with different political views.

Half way decent at (mechanical, electrical, welding, fiberglass, woodworking , driving not operating any piece of equipment or boat )

I can’t play or carry a tune in a bucket failed my only class in college music, I can’t carve a peice of wood to even resemble a duck that a caveman would carve. I can’t draw or paint and even painting household stuff looks like someone with special needs did it. I can’t dance at all never could.

CoonAss engineering, parallel parking I’d say good to superior.

Actual engineering, not so good…
