Don't half ass it

My Dad turns 60 today and this post is dedicated to him.  Over the years my old man has taught me some valuable skills and traits, mostly applying to being a good man and how to build and fix things.   When I was young there was a lesson he used to always drill into me "Don't half ass it".  Of course at the time I just thought he was being a hard ass and he didn't want to have to fix something I did wrong but as time goes by the lesson really resonates with me.   Fixing something with duct tape and bailing wire sounds cool and can be handy in extreme cases but it isn't something you want to make a habit of.
