My 10hp shredder/mulcher started smoking yesterday while mulching.
I assumed it was the belt, until I saw all the oil blowing out. Blown motor?
No the filler plug for the oil unscrewed and fell out, and allowed the motor to blow out oil.
all fixed today, no cost and a well needed oil change. 😀

real question here do they not teach cursive writing anymore? i remember learning it in elementary school (3rd grade give or take??)

nope. i dont know exactly when they stopped but only my oldest (now 25) learned it in grade school. not sure about the middle son but the youngest is now a Senior in HS and he definitely didnt learn it.
and this isnt directed at anyone in particular, but how are these people going to sign anything? (i know checks are dead, but contracts/leases/car loans/mortgages all still require signatures dont they?)

Oh I've had this discussion with MANY of my high school students. They should at least know how to sign their name...which many do not.

After a recent appointment, with a person who would be considered a professional in their line of work, as they were starting to write some hand written instructions for me in cursive, stopped to ask if I knew how to read cursive or should they print. My response based on having a pretty good assumption that this person was in their late 20's: "Whatever way you are more comfortable writing, I'm good either way."
See my gif....

more seriously, taught them to at least sign their name ourselves. a lot of the above mentioned documents end up with DocuSign these days anyway but its still true people need to know at least how to sign their own name.

Most signatures of people who definitely learned cursive are just illegible scribbles anyway. If I try, I can sign in perfectly legible cursive. Most of the time I just make a loopy scribble because signatures are totally superfluous most of the time. If I'm being particularly lazy, I make a wavy line, but even that may be too much effort 🤣
i'll second that signatures seem superfluous. I get the point, but if you want to prove i signed something, my signature looks different every time even though i learned proper cursive. And forget trying to make it look good or consistent on the checkout tablets with a cumbersome/broken stylus.

Went to the West Milford museum today to check on some of my donations and I saw the Jungle Habitat pillars display.
I remember when my friend Murphy built this entrance way by himself, with his backhoe and pickup truck.
They have a LOT of Jungle memorabilia.

Sold a pack of Pokémon cards my wife found in the closet that were never opened by my son. $1425. How can that not make you smile? Gonna pay for booze, food and palapas in Aruba next week.
