Annual State Of The Blog Address

  Every now and then I like to update you on where this blog is going and whats coming up. Right now its not looking good for the Blog. I want to make this post because some blogs I used to follow have just gone away. I have no idea why and I don't want to leave you hangin if I quit posting here. 

 I've been making videos on YouTube and as it turns out I like creating that type of content better than writing these posts. Why? Simple. Time and pressure. I struggled to come up with content for this blog and struggled to meet my scheduling goals. With YouTube I have new content from each day I fix something at work. Right now I have 152 individual repairs to choose from that need editing. I just pic one and go with it. With this blog I would need an idea, pics and then write about it. I guess I enjoy editing more than writing. I also am relieved to not be constantly thinking about what the next blog will be about. It just didn't flow naturally in my daily schedule.

 I've been posting the links of my YouTube videos here mostly just to keep this blog active. I'm thinking I might post here in written form on a more limited basis like maybe once a month. Is it even worth it then? I dunno. Am I just hanging on to this blog like a piece of scrap that seems too good to throw out? Time will tell.

Stihl Chainsaw Oil Pump Install

  In this video I install an oil pump in a Stihl MS290 chainsaw. Why? Because I didn't follow my childhood dreams to become an astronaut, race car driver or fire fighter. And while we're talking childhood, Where the hell are all the flying cars we were promised?

 Why yes there is. Its an Echo PAS-266 power head and it won't start because its full of water. Follow along and see how I get it running again.
