inWarning: My power trowel quit 20 minutes into a 40x60 pour and I finished it with a hand float
Used to figure a gearbox going out was just a gearbox going out, nothing to check first. Cost me a motor swap once when the real fix was a $30 cap, so now I always pop the cover and spin the shaft before I spend a dime. Marty's dead right here, check the cheap stuff first.

inFound out my community college diploma came with a hidden transfer perk I never knew about
Honestly this sounds less like a hidden perk and more like normal state transfer rules that just weren't spelled out for you. A lot of states have agreements where an associate degree gets you into public four year schools if your GPA is decent, so it's probably not some secret bonus TCC was sitting on. The real lesson is that nobody reads page 3 of anything, so you can't really blame advising for not spoon feeding you paperwork you already had.

inSaw a 1968 727 cockpit at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson last month, and it hit me how much we lost when steam gauges went away
Same thing happened when they made GPS the main way to find your way around, people stopped knowing their own city. You don't really learn a place till you get lost in it a few times.
