Like, subscribe if you like this video, and join my patreon and send me monies!

Actually Youtube pretty much fucked over small channels a while back. No more monetization, so there is not really anything to strive for money wise if you're not already pewdiepie or another big channel. It would be kind of fun to make a more official channel though, but Youtube favours only the big ones now. My videos don't even show up in search.

This one always reminded me of Mass Effect except it’s real.

I think I may have fixed my furnace. Super macguyver move. The blower occasionally rattles in the enclosure but could not figure out what causes it to happen, so I just shoved foam and cardboard under the blower to wedge it up against the top where it's fastened. No more rattling. Still early to tell though, it's odd how it does not always do it. It's like if it starts to oscillate just right then it just gets worse. Only does it at the end of a heating cycle. It seems well balanced as far as I can tell, I spun it by hand and it just keeps spinning smoothly and stops, and does not try to move to another position from there.

And that was the last we ever heard from squirrel, as his house burned down the house while he was sleeping that night. THE END

I did my first engine fix yesterday.

Got a CEL on my Malibu. I have a BlueDriver Bluetooth OBDII scanner and is showed a problem with the exhaust camshaft solenoid.

Turns out to fix it all you do is unhook the battery, three hoses, the oil cap and remove the plastic engine cover. The solenoid is sitting right on top of the engine.

(Two black guys with the cables running to them, left is intake, right is exhaust)

For $35 I got a new exhaust and intake solenoid from Amazon. (Might as well change the intake too since they are both almost 10 years old and right together)

Took about an hour. Probably saved me $500 if I had the dealer do it.
