Funny how perspectives can vary. I absolutely hated every minute and every day of school, from kindergarten to my senior year. When I hit age 16, I wanted to quit and go to Viet Nam, but my parents wouldn't let me. 30 years after I graduated, I made the mistake of going to college and hated that too.
My memories of school are of sitting inside a building, listening to a boring (and sometimes dumb) teacher, while the sun was shining and the birds were chirping outside (where I wanted to be). I really wanted to learn a trade, e.g. car/tractor mechanics or carpentry. But in those days, only high academic achievers were allowed to take extra courses like mechanics.
When in lower grades I got "punished" by having to put my head down on the desk with my eyes closed. Once in high school, I did that on my own accord, since I was so bored. And Catholic school was even more fun. Look at a nun cross-eyed and she'd wack you with a yard-stick. Or worse yet, sometimes a priest would come in the room and punch you in the head (hard).
I've got four kids that went through the public school system, and it too was pretty awful (from a parent's perspective). Now, our youngest 6 year old is getting home-schooled.
I'm not trying to take anything away from your good experience. I just can't say the same.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
