Husky 390XP Top End

  This video is a Husqvarna 390xp piston and cylinder replacement. Step by step instructions with hardly any key details left out. 

 If it seems like I do a lot of any certain type of repair video its only because thats what I am being tasked with. When I show up for work in the morning I hang my GoPro over the bench and hit the record button whenever I think I'll get more than just a few minutes of repair footage. A little behind the scenes here: I currently have 31 folders in my "to be edited" file and probably two weeks of clips not even sorted into folders yet. I like to keep a week ahead on finished videos meaning I need two in that folder but I've been as much as 12 completed videos deep before.

 Its a lot of work but I enjoy it. I want to get back to making some more traditional videos but the creative juices aren't flowing. I gotta laugh because I would shoot those videos ten times if needed just to get it right and not have to edit. These days its all about the editing.

The Craftsman Oil Cap From Hell

  If someone needs something repaired they bring it to our shop where I work. Over the years we have earned a reputation for fixing most anything. I think it drives the boss nuts because that list is from barber chairs to table lamps and everything in between. We can't keep up with equipment repairs so I get his frustration.

 This repair does fall into our advertised area of service but its not typical. Follow along as I struggle to remove an oil cap.

Blog Update and Stihl BG85 Blower repair

  Back in June of last year I made a post about the future of this blog. I predicted I would continue making regular posts despite my new found desire to become a YouTube content creator. Yes, thats what we call ourselves. I have kept true to my word and continued to make posts twice a week but as you know those posts are just basically links to the YouTube channel. 

 I could, and I should, schedule time each week to say what I gots to say like I did for the first seven years of this blog. I feel I'll want to do that again. I just don't know when and thats why I haven't given it up. Lets just call this a break. I'm taking a break from being creative on this blog and I'm just performing the mind numbing task of providing a link to my other content. 

As Arnold would say, "I'll be back" but I'm not really going anywhere.

And after all that I forgot to post this morning as usual. My excuse is that I got up at 1am to plow snow.
