Landon's Letter- Oct 26th
Today was my first day as a Weblos scout. It was so fun to know I was the oldest in all the Cub scouts. (With an exception of four other people.) Today we learned about being a “grease monkey”. Despite it’s mediocre name, it is actually a very hard job to do.
First, you have to learn everything about a car, and how it works. Driving a car is easy, but to be a grease monkey, not so much. The #1 thing you have to learn is to memorize everything beneath the hood. Under the hood, you will find things like windshield wiper fluids or oil. What keeps in the oil is a thing called a dipstick. Pull the dipstick out and hey! You got oil.
During that same second I saw that the so-called “oil” was actually Carmel brown. I asked the Weblos leader why it was not black. She said that oil, at first was black, but when it is filtered it is a Carmel shade of brown.
We also learned how to change a car tire. At the end, I found it was almost easier than changing a bike tire. I also learned how to check the air pressure in a tire. The tool to use was always what I thought to be a pen. There is this tube-thingy on the top that you put on some screw. A really small ruler popped out of the pen, and you check the PSI, and if the really small ruler is the same as the number of PSI, it’s perfect.
At the end of our time, the leader let us ride a dune buggy. At first I thought she was kidding me, so I decided to have some fun before she said no. But while I was doing it, I noticed she wasn’t yelling at me or chasing me. She just nodded in approval. At the very end, my mom drove me home to do this letter, and here I am now.
