They are people who freely pass on knowledge that they have come by either from others or from doing the brainwork themselves. I seek mentors out as they are people who enrich my life on many different levels. has a humongous number of mentors. Due to family commitments and being a single father, I have not had the opportunity to actually meet many of the familiar names here but feel a commraderie nevertheless as my questions are always welcomed and addessed. Like stated above, I've saved tons on garage labor costs and spent tons on parts and tools. In the end I've learned to be relatively self-sufficient. has also offered me the opportunity to show my son how to think analytically. In other words, while he does very well scholastically, he's also learning problem solving skills that he may not have otherwise had the opprtunity to come across by helping his Dad with repairing the Jeep.

Now that I think more about it, and without careful research, I'd hypothesize that I favor the square - plumb or "+" cut... Where the crust forms a nice arc upon which to clutch, and the V segments' points aim straight towards the maw. Performing an "X" cut would make odder-shaped portions, much more difficult to de-bag & grub at one handed 'on-the-fly'?
