I can usually dazzle people with bullshit before having to baffle them with brilliance

Quoted: https://i.imgflip.com/2melbn.jpg Back when I was working I could put together an excellent $50 million dollar engineering plan to overhaul, repair, fix and install major refinery machinery....I have to say, I was damn good at doing that...My last major plan, the QC document was six 4" binders thick View Quote $1/gal gas for everybody! |

My old unit's unofficial logo was a dildo and a screwdriver - If we can't fix it, fuck it.

Raised with wrenches and sockets and screwdrivers and stuff like that.
Better than video games and worrying about getting my hands dirty or being able to afford to fix anything. What was normal has become a highly sought after skill. |

I can BS my way through CNC machining, but having taken several classes in the manual side I feel sorta confident doing that.
I’m competent enough at welding to get and keep a job anywhere, and I have a knack for making engines run. My greatest gift apparently is logistics/analysis/troubleshooting. Collating information, determining best courses of action, improving efficiency, etc. |

Just today I was proclaimed the cheesecake god. I used King Arthur Flour's Easy Cheesecake recipe.
Besides that, probably the most fine tuned bullshit detector you'll find, world class I'd say. |

Procreation... srsly.
I'm also not a lawyer, but I write contracts and agreements that our corporate attorney is amazed at. |

I do On-Site electric motor and pump repair, mostly ag stuff, but lots of pool pumps as well. I've grown quite good at removing very stuck rusty parts without breaking them, and getting people going when they're in a bind.
I'm also employed one day a week as a gunsmith, but no machine work, just troubleshooting and general repair. Used to be full time, no schooling. I've got some loyal customers that won't let anyone else mount their scopes, and I have a reputation for being very thorough and detailed. When I fix something, it's usually done right the first time, and I try to correct and future issues I might envision while I'm there. I used to be just another repair guy. Now I'm THE repair guy for electric motor stuff. I've also laid more pipe in this town than Waubashau Plumbing. Dickhead. |

Good with a wrench and learn fast. I can usually figure out a mechanical advantage to get things done. Can low level fab stuff (ie using a dremel or a grinder and hand tools to make what I need).
I can fish, hunt, skin, and butcher almost anything. I am a little rusty though. I can keep my mouth shut and step up when I have too. That's about it. |
|
Jack of all trades and master of a couple.
I will attempt to understand and repair anything but do try to realize when Im over my head. Knowing what you dont know is just as important. |

I can fix just about anything on a typical house, automobile, motorcycle, power equipment, tractor, etc. I can build an engine, transmission, set up ring and pinion, and build a house. I did fuel injection swaps before the internet was really a thing.
I've ran several business that were successful and the majority of my employees loved me. I definitely have some weaknesses though and am working on improving them. |

I am a facilitator. I am a negotiator. I am not the man, but I know tge man.

All things machinery. Conceptual and detailed design, analysis, control, electronics, drafting, machining, production planning and management, testing and instrumentation. But my main research field is in engineering materials.

I can make clean water and I can treat dirty water, by both the simplest methods and 21st century cutting edge technology. I can make holes and I can plug holes. For everything else, I have a fair amount of fundamental knowledge.
I just hope that's enough to carry me and mine through what's coming. |
|
I'm as gentle as a lamb unless you cross me. Then I'm a major ass hole.
|
|
|
If you want to go hunting, and not see any game, I am your man.
On a more serious note, I think the main thing I'm good at is cooking. Not perfect by any means, but I get a lot of compliments on most of my dishes. |

Not just a simple skill but an all encompassing passion. Ink is an aphrodisiac to me. I kicked ass in my 33 years in the printing biz before my retirement in '08 from the world largest colours group. I can formulate Flexo, sheetfed and web inks as well as water based matte, satin and gloss coatings. At one time I could run the piss out of and maintain to the highest level large format sheet fed 4, 5 and 6 color Heidelberg, Roland and Komori presses with inline coating. I could produce with my production knowledge the highest end limited edition prints, fortune 500 annual reports and all the fancy landfill brochure crap you snag out of the rack at the car or boat dealer. I'm sick with it. I still run presses in my dreams from time to time. If you love complex machines and processes, printing presses are it.

Figure out how broken shit I've never seen before works, so I can fix it.
Not dying in the process is preferable. That and a killer grilled cheese sandwich. |

I'm good at absolutely nothing. I have no appreciable skills to speak of.

I annoy people. Hang around me long enough and I’ll annoy you, too, OP.
Also, dogs love me. Lastly, I’m really good at barely getting by. |
