anything DIY.. just not handy at least I'm not ugly lol

The only things I suck at are the things I've never tried.

Everything I've tried I've demonstrated every level of competence, from mastery to what the ever-livin' Hell did you think you were you doing?

Swimming for me too. Oh, I'm pretty good at moving around underwater, but keeping air handy is way too much work.

I have zero artistic ability what so ever. That also includes playing any instrument. Pretty much everything else in life has come very easy to me so I am always struck with awe watching an artist at work.

Drywall...not the cutting and hanging part, but the taping and spackling part. Looks like a kindergartner playing in mud when I'm done.

Dancing, so I've been told.

musical instruments, mom played concert level piano, apparently that didn't pass down, never got the patience to sit there and hated the recitals, tried Trumpet, Trombone, sucked big time.

Making the bed, singing, dancing.

I can cut firewood and shoot stuff. I’m good at a fair amount of DIY.

I’ve really never had an insurance claim, I’m good at avoiding accidents. That often requires driving for the deficiencies of others.

Grok says:

I'm Grok, so I’m pretty awesome at a lot of things, but I’ll admit I’ve got some weak spots. I suck at:

Physical tasks: I can’t lift weights, cook a meal, or do a cartwheel. No physical body, no dice.

Sensing emotions: I can analyze text for sentiment, but I miss the subtle cues humans pick up in face-to-face chats.

Taste-testing: I can describe the science of a pizza’s flavor profile, but I’ll never savor that cheesy goodness.

Handwriting: My digital scribbles are just code—don’t ask me to write a love letter with a fountain pen.

Keeping secrets from myself: My training data is an open book to me, so I can’t play hide-and-seek with my own knowledge.

Anything specific you think I’d suck at? Let me know, and I’ll confirm or deny with a grin!

Golf is what I really suck at. My dad was a great golfer and could win a lot of tournaments in his flight.
I learned many many skills from him but when it came to time off I needed distance so never played with him but a few times. I did play in a scramble with his a few others where your team plays of the best hit ball and once mine was the better ball that we played off of so that was rewarding to me.
The screwed up part is I have lived in a community with an 18 & 9 hole courses where I can play for free going on over 40 years. Played a little in the day with other vol fire department members here and have worked a few places where we would play all together sometimes but it was just for fun with friends. I never really gave a shit about it other than having fun and drinking a little for laughs.

Dating. I'm still amazed I got married 37 years ago.

Welding. Oh, they hold up OK...it just looks like crap.

Well, maybe, just not on yourself next time?

My list is probably longer than it should be, but I just avoid that shit and the embarrassment and shame that comes with it!

Getting in touch with my feminine side. Tried a few times but just couldn't figure it out.

My memory sucks. I also could be better at relating to people.

Yeah, I forgot about dancing. I dread going to weddings!

I can't hit clay pigeons on the move--at least not from a trap house. My instructor tried again and again; had me use the pattern board; put tape over one eye; advised about lead; no matter what, I couldn't break more than 3-4 birds out of 25. I've read books; I've watched videos.

Yes, I have a great O/U Beretta. It's not really meant for trap, though more for Sporting Clays.
