With cold weather just around the corner, decided to have a look at my poorly Aldi chainsaw, which has been non functioning since lending it to a guy at work about three years ago.

It seemed to be slipping, lots of revs, but when faced with any resistance, the chain would simply stop doing its thing.

So, armed with no experience or instructions, just the knowledge that as it was broken, I couldn't make it much worse, I applied my sockets and screwdriver to it.

Not entirely sure what I did, but my tinkering has resulted in a couple of sawn logs.

Am now looking at every fallen/dead tree with renewed, and wholly inappropriate desire.

Man vs machine = Man wins!

I took the washing out of the drier, did some ironing and ate some chocolate cake. Does that count?

Is there anything more manly than attempting to repair a machine entirely capable of maiming and / or killing with no prior experience, skills or instructions? I think not. I salute you, Sir.

I rewired the plug for my lamp as it kept going off as I was cleaning and re-greasing the upper universal joint on my TVR steering system.

I enjoyed my man-time.

I took my children to two birthday parties, I played on some bouncy castles, ate some cake and then we came home to have a nap.
I'm now making some food as the OH is working.
Ironically I shaved my chest this morning so at this point in time Louie Spence is more manly than me hehe

While im Leaning over the engine bay, sound of my ratchet echoing up the quiet street, neighbours walking past, yup, just fixing the old motor. Only pulling out the airbox to get at a rusty bolt stopping me changing the air filter. But still felt pretty manly. Simple things Lol.
