Even when it's obvious... sometimes it's not. Asking before you break something is the smart thing to do. Sometimes it just feels a little dumb...
Don't know how many little things I've broken that would have been saved by a "stupid" question or a little research. Now when I enter the garage, I check my ego and pride at the door.... And count on the many wise men (and women) at the Stovebolt.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
