May 2, 2013

What we did in the lab:

Frame:

The rear wheel was not spinning so it was taken apart and new spacers were put in.

Electrical:

Worked on the headlamp.

Bottom End:

Looked for and found two screws for the engine casing – the importance of the little things – attention to detail

Top End:

Cutting out new valve covers.

Clutch:

Helped with tensioning the wheels

Class Discussion on the Last Chapter (Concluding Remarks) of Shop Class:

Does failure make success more meaning?

The importance of learning from your mistakes.

Failure gives you a different perspective

Failure humbles

The author has a chip on his shoulder, a defensive tone, because the system has failed him.

If your afraid of failure, you won’t take bigger steps.

The author might lose some credibility in what he argues because of his disparaging attitude towards higher education.

Self-reliance can’t be your only doctrine because you become isolated

Don’t be completely reliant but also don’t be completely separate
