I am a salesman. I am also a pretty good reloader.

But, I make a hell of a sammich.

Talk about coincidences!!

Streamlining procedure, speeding up the process. Dealing with people? fugetaboutit.

I have a 20 year old cat with advanced stage kidney disease and arthritis so I've become a helluva amateur vet tech:

Daily IV

Daily arthritis medicine

Prescription kidney cat food with phospate binder "gravy" on top. I load it in a CatMate rotating feeder so she is fed 5x per day. It has icepacks under the food tray so the food stays fresh and safe.

Litter urine surveillance for too much, too little, or wrong color

Pretty all around handy guy. I can fix my chainsaw, mower, change oil, but no one can works on cars nowadays w/o a computer..

Hydraulics, pneumatics, Manual labor....

No good at electronics though I the equivalent to a associates degree in electronics from my time in the service.

I can navigate deadreconing, gos, loran (no longer there)...

I was an armorer in the service-not just assigned to it but was one of my qual codes

Well, I can cook most anything, to a fairly high level - but I also do that, in a fashion, for a living...

I can ranch/farm boy. (AKA, work cattle and not get killed. I am NOT a cowboy, by any stretch.)

I have long had a reputation as a “good eater”.

We did this thread about a year ago..



I know things

I can turn anything and circumstance into a Rube Goldberg machine.

I know things

so your power is Rekall...

According to my exwife, I can fuck up a one car funeral.

Troubleshooting problems.

Drive fast.
Shoot well.
Cuss proficiently.

I am considered a Dr. in Mexico and I can make you fall asleep just by talking to you.

I notice things.

Color variations. Noises. Smells. Vibrations. Things that are out of place. My recall isn't extraordinary (I can't do the Sherlock Holmes thing where I recall minute details from earlier in the day), but in the moment, I can detect small disturbances or variances long before anyone else. I'm always the guy that's like, "Something's wrong with this. Don't you hear that?" or "Pick that one, the paint color here one is off."

The corollary is that if I am introduced to something new or unfamiliar, I have already noticed many of the elements or context required to make an educated guess on how something works. Not just mechanically, but also socially or culturally.

I can cook well.

I can shoot well. I am not a great bullseye shooter, although I am not bad. I am good at the action shooting games, like IDPA, USPSA, and three-gun. I am also a pretty good wingshot, and with practice and more time, I think I could be quite good.

I'm a master at upsetting my wife, sometimes all I have to do is be in the same room with her.

I know more about snow science and avalanche control than any rational person ought to know. Wasn't a very marketable skill as I'm now paralyzed and can't get into the backcountry anymore.

Now that I'm a QSA, I'm moderately decent at infosec.

I'm a pretty good driver. My Sensei taught me "Never hit anything with your hand that you can shoot. Never shoot anything that you can run over with your car."

I can run most small arms like a sewing machine. It's the one thing I consistantly did well while in uniform. I'm also pretty good with machinery. I seem to be able to get the most out of whatever system I'm running. I've been told I'm easy on the eyes, but I guess that's a bit more subjective that everything else.
