The Fun Starts Here
This one is for all the Dad’s & Granddad’s….
HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the Gearhead Dad’s out there!!
It’s Dad’s day this coming Sunday, the one day a year that we celebrate the guy who each family looks up to, to be there for them everyday.
For us gearheads, dad’s play a big part in our early gearhead years, as we want to get out and help him do stuff in the garage/shop. And why wouldn't we! He has all those cool tools and machines out there that make noise and do things, fascinating things to a young kid getting bitten by the car/mechanical bug. Patience is probably a dads biggest asset/virtue. When we as kids tried to help and we took a tool and proceeded to help fix( name what you did, sand a good paint job, hammer a panel, loosen bolts and not tell dad), Dad would just give us a look, you know the look, but tell us what we did wrong and show us how to fix and repair what we did that didn’t need doing...LOL True PATIENCE My dad was that way. He is the one who took the time to show me how to do things. He was a heckuva mechanic and I learned so much from him. When I thought I knew it all and waded into a project, he let me, but when I finally asked for help, he showed me how to do the job right. He never complained...just helped me. Like many others, I lost my dad. My dad passed away over 1-1/2 years ago. He was just shy of 93 when he went to be with mom. Miss him everyday. But I will say, when I make a bone head move...I feel a thump to the back of my head...thanks Dad
