My son told me about a deal he read somewhere. Author made the joke. "Whether properly torqued or crossthreaded, tight is tight." I think I am going to adopt that as my new favorite line.

We've been working on an 84 K10 Chevy he is trying to bring back to life. Sometimes when he can't get something to move and I get it to go with a bigger hammer, wrench, etc, I keep asking him what is it I always say? "Brute force, if it's not working, you're simply not using enough."

I would tell you my not so favorite saying while working on my dozer, but it is uttered far more than it should. As a church-going-man I do not take the Lord's name in vain, but a time or two pounding those pins out of the tracks, I might have made a reference to an occupation that was less than lady like.
I have no intention of traveling to my grave in a well manicured body; instead I am going to slide into heaven with a big power turn, totally wore out with busted knuckles, jump off my dozer loudly yelling, Woo Hoo, another Shepard has just arrived!
One of my uncles always used to say about something he made or repaired, "She ain't pretty, but she's hell for stout."
