Mechanical Update
Today, I repaired a number of things, including a swamp cooler (detached water hose), and a circular saw (bad carbon brushes). I've reached the point where I have the tools and experience to do it. I look for service manuals online, but didn't find these, so I sort of reasoned out a solution. Sometimes it's a challenge to take something apart without the manual, and then get it back together.
The swamp cooler is a wonderful thing for the hot days, and I'll be building fences pretty soon, and can use the circular saw.
