"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My dad's lawnmower is crustier than a coal mine. Inside and out. So I'm rebuilding it. Damn thing won't start.

I've begun disassembly and cleaning/degreasing. Now when I rebuild it, I'm going to need to lubricate the moving parts until the oil gets to work. Haven`t been able to find engine lubricant. Would vaseline do?

Also, would I need treadlock. I didn't notice any on the bolts I pulled.

It's a 4-stroke 3.5hp engine.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

This sounds like a Briggs and Stratton valve in block engine right? As far as reassembly lube 30W motor oil will suffice. You can use moly assembly lube that is sold in tubes. You do not need threadlocker. Just torque the bolts to spec and they will not come loose.

Usually when a mower won't start the carburetor just needs cleaned out and reassembled assuming that it has spark. But when rebuilding an engine like a Briggs you would normally just take the cylinder head off and scrape the carbon off, disasemble and clean the carburetor with carb cleaner, new spark plug and engine oil. Adjusting the throttle linkage/choke linkage and the governor can be tricky without a service book and a tach.
