My two favorite sayings.

I was being interviewed by my hometown newspaper about my life and my career. They wanted to know how I got started doing what I do. I told them, "Sometimes you pick your career in life, and sometimes it picks you." I fall into the latter.

On my Facebook page, it says, "Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life."

To that, I just add a quote from my wife. "Yeah, that lazy bum has never worked a day in his life."

“Raising your level of performance requires a proper mentality and meaning from within. This gives you the ability and drive to work on the things necessary to go to a higher level. When people ask me how to raise their level of performance, the first thing I ask is, How important is it to you”

An idiot is someone who makes the same mistakes over and over yet expects a different outcome. An expert is someone who has mad every mistake possible and knows how to avoid them.

I look at the greater good of the firearm, there will always be those cause I'll, or misue anything.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Despite the high cost of living, it's still popular.

Experience is what you get right after you needed it.

and a few by Calvin Coolidge...

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.

If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Playsinsnow just got me thinking about snow n winter. Here's a few snowmobiler sayings,

"To snowmobile or not to snowmobile? Now that is a really stupid question!"

"When hell freezes over, I'll go there to snowmobile too"

"Spent most of my life snowmobiling.....the rest was wasted"

"What happens on the trail....stays on the trail"

"Snowmobilers have multiple personalities, 1. Awesome 2. Freaking Awesome"

"You don't ride? I see no point in talking to you"

"I once gave up snowmobiling......it was the worst weekend of my life"

"30 degrees is only cold if you are snowmobiling naked"

"Snowmobiling isn't a matter of life and death......it's more important than that"
