That Was a Total Waste of Time and Money

 I think I did mention that my fogger for Halloween wasn't working, right? Well, I ordered a new pump for it, installed it and I have the same problem, very little fog coming out of it. At this point I think there is a clog in the line that's inside of the heater. It's a new pump, and the heater gets really hot, but not much fog is coming out.

I tried running white distilled vinegar through it to clean it out, tried compressed air in it, even tried running a small wire through it but no luck. At the one end where the pump connects to the line I got a good bit of wire in the line before it would stop. Going in the line from the front of the machine, it didn't go in very far, maybe an inch or two. At this point I gave up on it, at least for now. So, I wasted time taking the fogger apart and trying to get it unclogged, wasted $$$ on a new pump and four gallons of fog juice. 

Yesterday I wanted to fire up the new chainsaw, so I put oil in it for the bar, and a mixture of gas and oil for fuel. Guess what? Didn't get it started. I thought I followed the directions for starting it, push the primer bulb until you see gas in it, turn the choke on, move the chain break forward, then pull the cord.

Well, it didn't start. I take it either I flooded it, the gas didn't get to the carb, else it could be I just didn't pull the rope hard/fast enough for it to start because of my bruised ribs. So, I didn't pull the cord real hard nor that many times and I can tell it today in my ribs. I might try it later on today if my ribs are up to it.
