      @@Ben-fk9ey Well, i surely whould. But there are the other big reasons: First, i absolutely cant afford to care properly for a dog. I only have a small 1 room apartment and thats barely enough for me alone. And second: I whould be probably a horrible dog owner because i'm INCREDIBLE weak to cuteness and puppy eyes and whould forgive anything with a "Aww, youre just so cute i cant be mad at you..." even when the dog just turned my whole living room upside down and thats not good because you need a certain strength to raise a dog just like a child and teach him/her good and bad. And thats something i just cant even if i try. So i better dont have a dog, its just the best for the dog. There are just too many dogs at the shelters where the previous owners overestimated their skills or weren't able to manage/train the dog like they should. And i surely dont want to "produce" another homeless dog.

I never had a formal apprenticeship for any of the things I worked at. I worked with people who knew what they were doing, watched, tried not to ask stupid questions while I learned the basics and the flow of it. So watching is how I've always learned. and while I don't plan on doing excavation or heavy equipment mechanics, I do enjoy absorbing processes. You do a good job "bringing us with you when you go do the next thing".

    It appears the float valve was not sealing, allowing fuel to enter the cylinder and then seep into the crankcase where it diluted the oil. Cleaning or replacing the valve may have solved the problem.
