Today's carry is a carryover, greatly influenced by my success and subsequent pictures yesterday with my pole pruner.

I've had 50 years in the building trades as a carpenter and architectural sheetmetal fabricator and the best compliments I ever received from old school tradesmen were that I was a "good mechanic". Now that's not to be taken in the common parlance of someone that works on or repairs automotive and other engines, but in the more archaic, New England sense of being skilled in the use of tools, equipment, and machines. I've never had great results or a particular affinity for engine repairs and was more than a little pleased and surprised that I was able to get my Stihl HT131 pole pruner going again after neglectfully putting it away for a couple years without running it out of gas. After a thorough wipe-down/debris removal, adding fresh fuel and oil, cleaning and re-gapping the plug, and adjusting the throttle cable (which is the bugaboo of this machine), I actually removed and partially disassembled the carb to clean out the lacquered fuel. After several failed earlier attempts at starting, I literally scared myself when the engine sprang to life on the first pull. Wow!

Anyway, I'll carry the Adamas again today after snapping these pics late yesterday with the Stihl, though the new-to-me Eagle HD will still be close at hand.
