Things Nostalgia

I was going past a you Pull It Part type Salvage yard when I spotted a vehicle next door on the scrap yard side. I talked my way past the counter lady and got one of scrap yard techs to let me walk out to inspect what I expected. Made it deal with the yard manager to let me pull the part. I went to get my tools and got with it pulling the part. I came up one 1/4" ratchet short. Well I drive my late Dad's 2004 Silverado he bought brand new. He had an old plastic tool box under the back seat. My Dad worked in a Steel Mill for 41 years. He wasn't a car guy. As I pondered my 1/4" ratchet problem. I thought Dad surely does NOT have a 1/4" in his toolbox. So I walked about 300 yards back to the Silverado very doubtful. Well lo and behold there was one. I gotta believe my Dad
A. Wanted me to have those parts.
B. Saw I was in my element enjoying myself pulling parts in a junkyard.
C. Was just as happy as I was.

I'm Not a Dad but HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to ALL you guys!
