It's not the breed, it's the dog.. Point in fact it's usually the owner
V-Drives may not always be the fastest, but they will always be the coolest
Alcohol is NOT a disease but rather a choice. (A very hard one for some people but a choice none the less)
Responsibillity is NOT a choice, but rather a personallity traight (see next)
I don't care who's fault it is, it's YOUR fault! (Taught to me at a young age by a mentor.. the more you think about it, the more it makes sense)
The past is always better then the future!! (Aka the "good ole days")


What are some of your truths? (I'll add more to the list as time allows)

V drive the coolest,, can I add direct drives in there too?

We love all dogs and cats.
We watch the "Dog Whisperer" on TV,, and I think he holds up RD's take on dog owners. Especially specific breed owners.

Ya can't reason with a drunk is my only true take on a drinker. And yeah,, it's a choice,, a very selfish choice in many cases.

The cheapest part of drinking is the bar bill.

Sight picture, breath control, andd trigger squeeze are the keys to marksmanship.

If a man says something, and a woman isn't there to hear it, he is still considered wrong until proven wrong when a woman does hear it.

There is nothing faster than a Motorola.

It will rain if I wash my Truck, even in August, and the forecast be damned. If I wax it, it will rain for at least three days, creating mud.

Cindys' car will be on empty every time I get in the drivers seat, and she doesn't need gas until the red light has been on for 21.3 miles.

If Cindy buys a half-gallon of ice cream and I don't get some within the 1st 24 hours, it'll be too late. Justin can smell ice cream from 2 miles away, in the fridge.

Good deals only appear on stuff I want when I ain't got no money.

I won't need anything I have been hauling around for years, or stashing in the shed until 48 hours after I give it away or take it to the dump.

We often do what we feel is right at the time, only to look back and wish we hadn't.

1. measure twice, cut once.
2. a custom boat is never "done."
3. you'll never have enough horsepower
4. there will always be someone faster

I cant stand a drunk unless I am one of them.

Better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

Business is black and white, its the people that make it gray.

Better to be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Jet boats suck!

Advil cures everything; but, it doesn't bring a dead hooker back to life.

If it feels like more than two fingers, it's probablly a dick.

:D

For serious though...Where there is smoke, there is fire. Listen to your gut.

Don't even throw the right hand until you've established the left jab.

When in doubt....pull out.

The quickest way to failure it to try to make everyone happy.

The pursuit of your dreams will come and the expense of your comfort.

Procrastination is the enemey of success.

It doesn't matter what career path you've chosen, make sure you enjoy it and try to be the best.

"It aint who you know, it's who you blow!" :D

Luck = preparation meets opportunity. And unfortunately the older I get the more “No good deed goes unpunished” rings true - lol

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6
Truth is your/their reality, not to be confused with the facts, which is what really happened

If you don’t lie, you don’t have to worry about keeping your story straight.

And a few from 40 years in the business world.

Only hire people who are smarter than you.
Do the jobs others don’t want to do.
Master public speaking.
Dig in to the details.

Well RD, you got 3 out of five right.
- Pit Bulls are a horrible breed but some are ok until they are not. They should remove that whole breed from society
-alcohol dependence is classified as both an addiction and a disease. I truly feel some people are predisposed to it but I know the jury is still out on that one
