I'm Awesome
Been thinking after an outing with my buddy Joe.
Me and Joe had a goofous and gallant moment. If you read Highlights For Children magazine as a kid you would understand Goofus and Gallant.
Well my buddy Joe needed a lock cylinder and door handles for his S10 in Jamaica. So we went to a yard in Hammond Indiana to get a lock cylinder from a blazer ( The blazer was the definition of mint O mint.) . Me and Joe were working on the doors. Joe was on the passenger side I was working to drive aside I believe at the time. 2 different approaches.
Me acting like Gallant I was taking up the screws (including the hidden ones I found while tugging the panel) Also putting the panel in the passenger compartment back seat in your compartment back seat when I was done taking it off.
Joe having a Goofus moment ripping the once mint o mint door panel (I believe other parts of the world would call it a door card) apart breaking it in the process ( Kind of understandable when you're at the yard the part would evaporate and you wan to get it quickly as you can)
Well I've been surfing the Web for a while.
Been looking up junkyard stuff out of boredom. And I've been reading articles of junkyard etiquette.
We all know junkyard rules mainly the self service yard.
LIke putting on closed toe shoes. (No slides or flip flops)
No alcoholic beverages
No grinders or oxy torches and other things posted on signs.
Along with the unwritten rules. Like be careful with the parts you remove because someone else might need the part that you removed to gain access.
Help others whenever possible etc etc
Maybe we could put our own goofies and gallant moments on this page. Because I have goofers moments at work to be honest. And I also have some moments being like gallant
