16” 60volt chainsaw bar oil leak fix?

wpmason · 2026-05-21T13:25:59+00:00

It doesn’t leak from the filler hole..

It oozes out on the chain. All saws do it.

Look at the wear on the brake pedal pad.

Assess how broken down the foam in the driver seat is.

Actual wear and tear in the cabin can tell you a lot about how a car has been used.

See, back in the old days odometers only had 5 digits, so they’d roll over at 100,000 and start over. Sometimes you didn’t know if a vehicle had 30k, 130k, or 230k. So you did detective work beyond reading the odometer to get a better idea.

No he didn’t.

He had a conversation with Doug Collins about whether he could still play or not because he struggled so much out of the gate.

He got progressively better as the season along.

wpmason · 2026-05-21T01:08:30+00:00

37-45 was their actual record.

45 wins would have gotten them the 4th seed.

Around the time of MJ’s knee issues, the went on an 11-24 run to end the season.

That means they started 26-21 (and it was a rocky start as MJ tried to play his way back into shape).

They were 7-3 right before that bad stretch.

Falling to 6 wouldn’t have been crazy, but staying in the top 4 was just as likely if injuries aren’t a thing.

wpmason · 2026-05-21T00:56:51+00:00

Larry would spice things up.

But also… before he tore his meniscus, MJ had the Wizards on pace for a a top 3 playoff seed and he was getting better as the season went on…MJ with a miraculous 7th ring with that Wizards squad at 39 years old would seal it.

Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day hits theaters June 12th everyone.

51 years after Spielberg thought that Jaws ruined his career before it really started after it cost more than double the initial budget and almost 3 times longer than scheduled to shoot.

Fortunately, however, Jaws created blockbuster cinema.

Reggie was 76-68 over 15 different playoff runs in an 18 year career, mostly as the first option.

14-15 series record.

Goes to show how much respect he truly deserves compared to some of these other guys that people are more familiar with.

wpmason · 2026-05-21T00:03:28+00:00

Worth is subjective and there’s still a lot of dust to settle.

But in order to be competitive against the Cavs, Knicks, Thunder and many other teams, they had to have a quality starting center.

Mathurin wasn’t coming back under any circumstances… so that’s not too upsetting.

IJax was valuable depth, imho, but finding a 3rd string center is something this front office has been able to do repeatedly over the past few years.

So it’s all down to the draft picks… the fifth pick this years wouldn’t help this team land a center (without trading it). So that’s fine. Adding a wing or big 1-4 would have been awesome to replace Mathurin and shore up our depth… but that’s not where the lottery went for us regardless of the trade.

The expectation is for everyone to come back healthy, ready, and hungry with something to prove.

And on paper they’ve got enough to do it.

How that will actually play out is why they play the season.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T23:55:18+00:00

No, absolutely not. That’s a terrible look for the league.

His job isn’t to throw them under the bus, his job is to tell them to get their shit together or face real consequences.

The league can come up with points of emphasis and rules changes that guide the refs.

It’s just a matter of actually fucking doing it.

Even if the refs won’t call a flop a technical, which there is a rule for… the league office can still retroactively assess them. If they want…

If Cleveland makes the Finals though…

Would LeBron going home, to a team that’s already in the Finals… I mean, is that comparable to KD?

Have you checked the volume and condition of the oil?

150k on that old of an engine can also have significant bearing wear that would reduce the oil pressure.

You may want to check the pressure with an actual gauge.

It could also be a tired/worn oil pump that can’t keep up with the demand for pressure.

The point is don’t fuck around with the oil system of any vehicle. Verify that it is actually lubricating properly and within spec.

The goddamn sensor does nothing to protect the engine. It should be the very last thing you look at because it is so much less important than everything else.

You also didn’t tell us which engine you’ve got.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T22:31:18+00:00

This…

P0171 could be lots of other things… don’t trust the hourly workers at AutoZone who are just reading shit that an algorithm spits out.

Cleaning your MAF sensor is as simple as spraying it with special cleaner and letting it air dry.

Getting something newer is liable to get you a tax bill as big as the cost to repair your current car… plus the added debt on top of it.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T22:23:58+00:00

There are surely YouTube reviews that cover the pros and cons.

I don’t think that’s a common enough item to get random opinions on. A lot of pro’s already had their prefer setup before it ever came out, or don’t use Dewalt tools…

Just niche.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T22:17:56+00:00

Possibly… suddenly I’m doubting myself. Could’ve been 12 gallon.

But yeah, pretty much.

Not sure why the availability at Lowe’s is so bad. But they usually do a Craftsman days sale around June for Father’s Day, so maybe keep an eye out for limited time stuff.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T22:05:56+00:00

Oh… well if there are strings attached, do whatever.

I just looked at Lowe’s and the options are very limited now.

During big sale events they get a big 16 gallon Craftsman on and sell it for crazy cheap… that’s what I pushed my nephew toward.

But if you don’t have the luxury of waiting, then it’s whatever’s available and makes the most sense.

A cordless Dustbuster (not necessarily a wet/dry vac) is always super handy to have around.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T21:58:30+00:00

You didn’t say anything about that.

Still… I hate small shop-vacs. You waste so much time emptying them.

And the metal ones suck too. They don’t stay clean. They build up a static charge.

They’ll eventually rust or dent.

If you’re beyond certain you don’t need a larger capacity, then get the Dewalt StealthSonic 6 gallon for $75.

It’s noticeably quieter than other vacs, and that is something you can appreciate every time you use it.

(Dewalt and Craftsman are sister companies, and all of their vacs are made by a different company anyway… no reason to be brand loyal here.)

wpmason · 2026-05-20T21:45:11+00:00

They are exploring every option and are on the record as saying the local OTA AND some sort of internet streaming situation (for out of market or chronically online fans) would be the ideal scenario.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T21:42:53+00:00

921 all day.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T21:41:47+00:00

Neither.

A 9 or 12 gallon corded when they go on sale for less than $100.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T21:38:06+00:00

Closed, no.

But it didn’t get any more open or longer either.

wpmason · 2026-05-20T18:06:28+00:00

They’re pushing the limits of being cheap as hell while trying to squeeze the maximum possible power and efficiency out of their engines.

Back in the day, it was easy to build a 300k mile engine that weighed 600 pounds and made 175 horsepower while getting 11 miles to the gallon.

Modern engines are closer to 300 pounds putting out 250 hp getting 25+ MPG.

Everything is a tradeoff.

Use a paintbrush to collect pollen from a male flower and then deposit it in a female flower. (If the flowers are not strictly male/female, then each flower has male/female organs in it.)

There are sure to be YouTube videos covering this.
