Question What are you the best at ?


Hi Member's, everyone is good at something ?
What are you the best at ?
(Please remember that we are a automotive family forum)

Yesterday, I was invited to lunch with my boss &
during lunch he ask me "Mike, what are you the best at ?"

I was thankful his cell phone rang right after he asked
(it gave me some time to think about it).
I was thinking surfing-skateboarding etc., but that didn't
seem to important. Then I thought what spaces grandfather
always said "Live your life the best you can with what you have"

My boss ending his call & returned for my answer
I responded, "Sir, I think I'm the best at doing the best I can
everyday > it's the way I've been taught.

He responded with a smile & then got another call
"I'm the best at living life"

Your turn > create some activity on the MCF
and share what you believe that
U R best at ?
'Thanks

Ha nice subject, would be interesting to see what we all bring to the table with our abilities. Social melding such as this forum are wonderful in that we bring diverse backgrounds together which let us solve many issues as no one knows everything. So great topic, perhaps ones knowledge will help other members resolve a computer, plumbing or mechanical etc. problem they may have at home and such.

I do tile and stone for a living. It's the only thing that I'am really very good at. Mostly high end custom homes. Here area couple shots of my master baths and entry.

Thank You Mr Greg (Zippy) for being the first to post & share your thoughts on this subject.

Your stone work & tile are just so beautiful 4sure How did you learn to be a master craftsman ? I also love all the things you have done to your SuperSuper Monte to make it a one of a kind performer & looker

Yes, I hope that several of our diverse members contribute to this thread & share their special talent(s). Ive been reading several of Space's old threads/posts & its difficult to understand his mind & how he creates so many subjects. We were both taught by the same senior citizens, but we are way different on many of our thoughts.

When he faxes me he is always asking 'bout the MCF & Im try'in my best to contribute.

Greg, Thanks again for sharing & posting your beautiful work > its like Art in Stone WoW...It has to be rewarding work being able to create and design your talents

OK, whose next ? Yes, I think it's you reading this

Peace 2 all,
Bum'Mike

Ha Dave, wish we were closer for sure. I can totally do you a totally trick full ADA roll in shower and such. Thanks for the kind words.

I get involved in some pretty detailed homes. Takes forever, the shower in these photo's was 5 weeks to do. I hate my job, but it's the only thing I'm really any good at. Just so demanding and grueling. Layout, layout, layout and then start installing. It has to have structural integrity and be waterproof. So hate my self for being so **** to get invited onto these jobs where everyone expects the highest from you. GRRR....

greg as i said when you posted pics of your work before its amazing what you can do it looks awesome!!!

im the best at drinking beer

honestly i think my best talent is being able to work on cars and fabricate what ever i need to make things work and in the end it looks very good (i think anyway)

i can also lay brick and block, i have done some insane arches etc with brick before i left that trade and got into the oil field.
