On 5 October, we lost a fine ex-GMCer, Ken O'Rourke. Ken was a very active
Dixielander for many years before his health deteriorated a couple of years
ago. A few days ago I found among my papers a document he prepared -- I
know not when:
====================================================
GMC OWNERS CREED
1) Each morning search for something broken. There has to be something
broken or not
working right. Look at the ole reliable Onan.
2) lf you find something broken then apply the 3 R's - repair,
replace, or rig (cobble up
something).
3) lf nothing is broken, take something apart anyway, it has to work
better after you fix it.
PS. Always add that improvement that you thought of the other day
at work, I don't
understand why the engineers didn't think of it in the first place.
4) lf it still works after you fixed it, then replace it with
something bigger, better, and
much more complicated than necessary. PS: You need to buy more tools
for these upgrades, and
power tools are even better.
5) Don't wait for the next morning, anytime is a good time to go back
to Number 1 and
start over.
6) Whatever you do, keep it complicated, never design it or do it the
simple way.
7) Your wife thinks you have a girlfriend because you are either in
her, over her, or
under her.
8) lf it moves and shouldn't move, use duct tape. lf it doesn't move
and should, use
WD-40. So, those are the only two tools you need to carry with you in your GMC,
except of course, the third and most important tool, your credit card.
9) Never keep track of costs, you may scare yourself.
10) Don't worry about adding more electrical devices to your GMC, just
add another
battery. And Never, Never write down the electrical changes you've
made, the next
owner will have fun figuring it out.
11) Leaks are no problem, just pile on the silicone. When the silicone
gets too humpy,
peel it off and start over.
12) Always start the day before you leave to do all your pre-check
lists, they will take
you a day to complete. Maybe make out a new list.
13) Use reverse psychology on your wife. Tell her that you bought
everthing on sale,
then tell her how much you have saved. Harbor Freight is a good place
to visit for this.
14) Visit the"Men's Mall" often for "goodies" you could have paid much
more for at Auto
Zone. You didn't know you needed these until you saw them. (NOTE: the
Men's mall is
the localjunk car yard.)
15) lf all else fails, and you can't find anything wrong, take off the
wheels and polish the
Alcoas.
