Husky 326LS Strimmer Carb Replacement

  Love it or hate it I've got another "Over The Bench" video for you. This time we look at a simple carb swap on a trimmer but with a twist.

 I ran into an unusual problem that left me scratching my head for a minute.  I see it clearly now but missed it during the repair. As you watch the video see if you can spot the problem.

A Message From The Other Side?

  I warned you this might happen and now here you are on a Wednesday trying to decide if you want to watch the video I've posted in lieu of the normal babble you'd find here.

 I'll warn you now, the video isn't action packed but the subject matter is deep. Either you believe or you don't and this video won't change that but it sure does make you think about how incredible the odds are that this could happen. 

 Maybe I'm hyping this up to much. Just watch the damn movie.

Over The Bench-Husky 55 Flywheel

 I guess "Over The Bench" is the official name for these random videos of me fixing crap. A twist here and a crank there along with a few ugga duggas and viola its all fixed. I have a ton of video footage from over my bench. How much is a ton of video you ask? In the couple of weeks I've been filming I have saved 600 gigabytes of footage. I have about half a legal pad of notes to sort those videos and I can see I'll need another storage device in my computer. 

 

 

 Is it worth it? Sure it is because I enjoy doing it. If I was making bank on these videos it wouldn't matter as much if I enjoyed doing it but thats not happening. I've had a lot of positive feedback and a few people even learn some tips from watching them. Besides, can you really put a price on this type of quality entertainment?

The Future Of This Blog

  I've been posting this blog for an octad of years now. Every so often I start to evaluate whether or not I want to continue this babble I call The Greasy Shop Rag and right now is one of those times. For a long time I've made two posts a week and then I started the Youtube channel which now consumes one of those posts. I enjoy making those Youtube videos. Some are better than others and none will ever share the spotlight with Spielberg or Tarantino but thats not the point for me. I like making them, period. I used to say the same thing about this blog but lately it has become a chore and thats not a good thing. The "chore" is coming up with content. If I had anything at all interesting to say I'd peck away at the keyboard every day. Its been suggested I take a break, if just for a week. I won't do that at least not on purpose. Long ago I told myself if I was gonna do this I'd be consistent. If you notice that I miss an episode then its because something happened. Please call a lawyer, doctor or fireman cuz I'm in trouble.

 I'm a quiet person despite what my jagoff coworkers will say about it. Making this blog has helped me express myself and maybe help me be less of a grumpy effer. Shutup jagoff coworkers. Making Youtube videos forces that issue even further. The problem with Youtube videos is you still need to come up with content. I can see myself years down the road saying "I used to like making Youtube vids but lately I have nothing to say". 

 So what does all of this babble mean for this blog? Well, nothing. I'll continue to come up with something to talk about even if its just "filler" material like this post. To further complicate things and challenge myself even more, I've been giving some thought to posting two Youtube vids a week. Maybe not every week but with the addition of my "over the bench" videos it might be easy to sneak in a second video some weeks. "Some weeks" because putting out those videos is time consuming. Sure the "over the bench" vids are no effort to record but a nightmare to edit, plus I have to dub audio over the top of them once the video is structured. On top of that I'm teaching myself how to use new editing software. Yippy! My other videos are more of a one or two take kind of effort with less editing and I'm wondering if I can sneak one of those in when I'm up for it.

 So there you have it, the future of this blog as I see it. Thanks for following.
