He always told us he had to have his fair share, also watch your pennies and they will watch out for you. Once he went shooting squirrels in a national park with a 357 and grandma chewed him out. He always yelled out when he caught a fish, you could hear him for miles, and always being able to fix ANYTHING.... with baling twine.
