Always drive with this thought in mind:

“Everyone else on the road is out to get you”.

Fly with the crows, get shot with the crows..

I heard this so much, repeated it so much that my son, repeats this to his boy.

A little diddy about work..

No matter the task,
great or small,
do it well or not at all.

Once the task has begun,
Leave it not until it’s done.

Oh and he also said only stupid people do the following things with their cars:

1) lock their keys in
2) leave their lights on
3) run out of gas
4) leave their windows down when it rains
5) drive off with their emergency brake on
and 6) leave their gas cap on the hood after fueling.

Then he said, I’ve done’ed all, you can make your own mind up if I’m stupid.

I’ve since done them all as well. Dad is a very wise individual.

Show up every day.
Treat everyone with respect.

My Dad was an immigrant to this country from Holland. He came here as a little boy with his family in 1912. One thing I’ll always remember about my father was that he loved this country and encouraged us to do the same. He always told us to never do anything that would cause us to lose our freedom.

Everyone has their own agenda and it may very well not be what you think it is!

Never pull your gun on someone unless you have already made the decision you have to kill them cause they will take it from you and kill you with it. I was a 18 y/o girl and my Dad had just gave me my first gun cause I would be driving 20 miles to College.

My dad used to say, “You have more balls than brains.”

Apparently he was right, because I believed that was a great compliment; (being an A+ student) ~ nothing was valued more than ‘having balls’ in my younger days in NYC.

Almost twenty years after he passed, I remember thinking wait a minute - what were you trying to tell me, Pops? HA!

“Happy Father’s day, Pop. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Lucky you——I lost my father in 1938.

Dad: "You're not leaving the house in those shorts." Took my Daisy Dukes and threw them straight in the trash after I changed.

I was a speed demon and loved to race my Ford Maverick 302 V8. But there was an oil crisis and gas was expensive and you had to stand in line to get it. Dad would bring me 5 gallons fresh from the Exxon plant in Baton Rouge every night and pour it in my car.

Dad always answered the phone at home. Once I got a call from a boy at 9:00 at night, and Dad gave the boy an earful, "No nice girl takes a call at 9 O'Clock", and so on, just like the grandparents in 16 Candles. I never found out who called me.

He passed away in 2005 and I miss him every day.

“You need that like you need another hole in your head.”
“Don’t start something you can’t stop.”
“I cut it off twice, and it’s still too short.”
“We’re off like a herd of thundering turtles.” (pulling out of the driveway on family vacations)
“He doesn’t know which end of the hammer to pick up.” (commentary on interview candidates - book smart but no common or practical sense)
“If you see a broom and have nothing to do, start sweeping.” (another test of interview candidates — if you were above sweeping, he wouldn’t hire you)

Have a swig of this Pabst Blue Ribbon.

After that, I never drank beer again in my life, and never really drank much of anything.

It is true, but I found a job, so in a sense hit it right. I did not lose the truck.
