    Got the small toro going today, had to putt the carb and disassemble and spray with cleaner. Has been giving issues starting last summer. Runs goodly now.
    Also started the orange monster vas well. Helps to put the Operator Present Controls in the correct position. For some reason it helped.
    Both started now and ready for mowing (maybe this week).
    Will have to hit power equipment place to get oil filter next weekend.

    I don't play in the *NIX space often (rarely actually, too much *blows, not enough Beer..),

    but MPlayer / SMPlayer front-end,

    and UMPlayer were the (encumbered format) players that seemed 'MPC-HC' like to me, last time I checked.

    Speaking of getting the sn*blower ready for it's summer rest, I looked on YouTube for a fix for a problem it started having about the end of January.....surging at idle & high speed too. I suspected it needed an air adjustment, but found out this Troy-Bilt Storm with the Tecumseh Snow King engine has non-adjustable carb (other than the idle speed). YouTube to the rescue.......just need to remove an air bleed, clean it with thin wire & carb spray, and it should be good to go.

    Yes. I didn't know if STB was talking about the same med or not.

    I had 8 lithium AA batteries delivered from A zon today. The box was the size of a shoe box. I had a palm rest for the keyboard delivered two days ago. the box was about 18 wide and 2 feet long.

    There is a long acting dose and the twice daily dose. The twice daily is can be bought in generic and is much cheaper. Sometimes it is your insurance plan that dictates which one you get. The once a day dosing gets better compliance. Both can take the lead out of your pencil. Never stop the med suddenly. You can get rebound hypertension.

    Updates to follow after I find my tip cleaner set....seems to be MIA from the shed tool box, so may have to get to the local welding supply for a new one. No hurry.

    I have the same issue with the Briggs on my Simplicity snowblower. It annoys me that you cannot adjust the carb (thanks, California!) haven't looked for the cure yet, but it runs too lean.

    Ran errands yesterday, dog got her shots at TSC (unexpected as we didnt know they were doing a clinic until we stopped for other stuff-Nellie is always with us running errands-so that worked out well but took forever to get through the line).

    Started the tranny service in the Ridgline much later than anticipated. Everything went as planned until I looked at the air filter :eek:

    No biggie, run to Napa or somewhere. Napa had just closed (it was 5:15)-OK, Wally world-nope they dont carry the filter for this vehicle at the store (WTF)-off to O'Rielly Auto Parts (Use to be VIP Auto Parts)-Nope, the ONE that they have was sold recently-Its a f'ing air filter and you are supposed to be an AUTO PARTS STORE-Really?

    Running out of time and I have to finish the tranny service so bagged the air filter, went home and finished the job. Vacuumed the filter for now but its needs replacing.

    OEM Honda, Wix or Fram?
