Gold boy, do you have a favorite hymn? If you do, keep singing it to yourself. There's a lot of peace and comfort to be found in music.

Folks,

A bit of foolish trivia for you......

"History in the making!!!!

Fabulous bit of historical knowledge: Ever wonder where the word **** comes from … well here it is
Certain types of manure used to be transported (as everything was back then) by ship … well in dry form it weighs a lot less, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, and one of the by products is methane gas . . . and as the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen, methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern . . . BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was discovered what was happening. After that the bundles of manure where always stamped with the term S.H.I.T on them which meant to the sailors to “Ship High In Transit”. In other words high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.
Bet you didn’t know that one."

Bill, I don´t know if we mean the same word but if you mean **** (), it comes from the medieval german word which means to put something in (a bag or purse etc.).

I bought a nice small book years ago with a lot of this stuff and where it comes from. VERY interesting!! We uses this every day to describe something but completely lost the real sense of it.

**** modern school systems...!

 

[Tom_Restorer]

to have a phone call and reading doesn´t work...

Bill, I read it again and saw we mean something different

Anyway. Are you sure it comes from this "ship in high transit" or is this just coincidence?

In german it is called S.c.h.e.i.s.s.e. and means in fact the same as you mentioned (whats coming out of the backside), but I don´t know any historical evidence that this term comes from shipping at all.

Our students do some funny stuff here at the school house. Easy work just hovering over them but it's really been cutting into my detecting time.

View attachment 1615234
Attached two legs on my DIY sifter/classifier . Moving the legs forward or to the rear adjusts the angle of the screen. View attachment 1615235 And a handle for easy carrying. Screens are 1/2" mesh and 1/4" mesh.Legs in fold down position for transport.

Some slight improvements from yesterday.Attached a lower leg brace to make the entire unit more rigid. Changed out the 2 main(upper) screws for heavier bolts.Screen angle can be changed to what ever angle you want. And ,or with the screen at horizontal its a 'shaker' screen
