Creativity For Kids Spark!Lab Smithsonian "Invent Boundless Bridges" Building Set


Another building set but this one has the Smithsonian name on it so it provides it with a bit more panache.   As opposed to Legos, this set does not provide specific instructions on how to make a project.  It does provide a general book of instructions showing how the pieces can be used together and recommending which are better for what purposes.  It is recommending a process for inventing and creative thinking.  It is most definitely a teaching toy that realistically should be a child/parent project.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
