I want to thank @makesomethingtv for recommending this book on the @makingitpodcast. 'Steal Like An Artist' by Austin Klein is inspiring plus helps you focus your creativity to be more productive. Although I borrowed the book from the library, I already have plans to buy a copy, plus a second copy to give to a friend that I think would benefit from reading it too. It's a short but informative read that can be used by anyone for work, pleasure, or just your hobby. #thegarageengineer

Repaired air compressor regulator. Not to factory standards but gets the job done. I shall call him Popeye from now on since I moved the air regulator to the outside of the casing which leaves a hole in the old spot. #ABC #AlwaysBeCutting #maker #thegarageengineer

Getting an early start on winter. Prepping for power outages. Breaking in new generator. I like it so far. I was pulling cord lightly to prime the carb and in 1/2 the pull it started right up. Never had an engine with that smooth a start. How do you store your generators? Do you drained the gas or add fuel stabilizers? Add your comment below.
