I remember being a teenager and we went to shoot one day. Dad took 3 rifle cases and 2 rifled. Left them in the pickup that night. Next day went to town and he bought a new rifle and walked it in the door and put it away with not a word from my mother.
I didnt fully appreciate how smart my dad was back then but i sure do now |

If youre in a front seat of a car and see that you're about to be in a head on accident, put your hands on the dash and your feet against the firewall and lock your knees and elbows. your locked arms and legs will prevent you from flying into the window

Buy a duplex in 1997 right out of college. Lived in half, rented half, and used it as my "practice " house to learn repair and renovation. Then doubled my money in 6 years when I sold it.

My dad wasn't an advice kind of father. He was more of a well now that you fucked up I'm going to yell at you kind of guy.
The only thing that sticks in my mind. There's fun girls and there's girls you bring home be sure to bag it before you tag it. We didn't exactly have a warm and fuzzy relationship. |

1- don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash.
2- when your mouth is open you can’t hear anything. 3- love isn’t enough when it comes to marriage, you have to want it and it is work. When I was in high school he found a little bit of Devils Lettuce that had fallen out of my coat- he looked up at me, handed it back to me and said “Never forget there are a lot of things much more important than this.” I miss my dad |

When I had my first kid on the way my dad told me something along the lines of “don’t try to be your kids friend, be a father”. I didn’t think much of it but I get it now.
My dad was definitely a father when I was growing up but he’s absolutely my friend now. I really try to live by that with my 3 kids now. |
