We've all heard this saying. Throw modesty out the window here. Are there any trades/skills at which you are decent? Any trades/skills at which you are a master?

Decent
Basic odd job construction (roofing, plumbing, electric, framing, dry wall, etc.)
Apple/Mac software management
Refereeing
Shooting the 3

Master
None
