I’m so bored around the FL house I’ve been puttering in the garage dealing with piddly little stuff. It’s definitely cleaner and I’ve gone through a lot of old paint and stuff like that.
I’ve got a Stihl chain saw that was running OK and the last time I got it out a month or so ago, it was the same way yours is - it would start and run with the choke, but as soon as you give it throttle it would die. Probably should take a look at it before hurricane season gets here. Heading back to AZ next week thank goodness. Cooler weather and no humidity. And lots of stuff to do around the house. Major project for a week from Saturday - install data frame in the utility room and run CAT6 all over the house. I’ve pre-staged all the stuff (rack, patch panel, switch, cable, etc.) there so we’ll be ready to go. I have 3-5 years to go depending on when I want to bail and how the markets go. If I stick with the AZ gig for five years I get a lot of nice bennies courtesy of the state pension program, might be worth it. -D > On Mar 24, 2022, at 5:52 PM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Now that I’m freshly retired, I’ll have to find some of those kinds of > projects.
