That shit would seriously hurt my already fucked up back.
I just dealt with that a few months ago with my lawn vac/chipper. Fuel jet in the carb had some varnish in it. Can of carb cleaner did not help, but I pulled the carb and soaked the parts in parts cleaner overnight and it ran like new.
Foam rolling plays a large part in my ability to continue to train. Hurts so good...

I'm really not sure what constitutes "manly".
I did wake up and take a drive to a construction site to pick up some wood for winter.
On the way, I saw several homeless people, so I took them all out to eat at IHOP.
When I got home I sliced up all the wood with a chop saw, and stacked it in a covered area I made.
This tree and the power lines were creating an unhealthy relationship, so I fixed my buddy's chainsaw and went to work.
All of a sudden....
BLAM!!!!!!!
A large limb fell on the power line and snapped it!!!!!
Carefully, I grabbed the power lines on the ground, and forced them back together in mid-air.
They were so hot from grounding, that they fused together!
A neighbor down the road caught this footage as I worked the lines back together....
Then, I wrapped the lines in heatshrink and electrical tape...
At that point, I thought it's best to quit while I'm ahead, and build a specialized scaffolding to attack the issue strategically in the daylight.
Which as it turns out, was a good thing, as I heard my daughter scream DAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It turns out things got very cold when the power went out, as temperatures in the area plunged into the teens.
I had to act quick, and chop the firewood I had just zipped with the chainsaw.
But where would I put it?
So I ran across the street and found a couple cement post blocks and pallets and ran them home to stack the wood on....
About 17 blocks away, I noticed someone left several beams attached to the framing in a house under construction. Since no one was in the house enjoying them, I took them all down and ran them home, to be chopped up at a later time. I'm pretty sure these weren't load-bearing beams, as the house barely nudged when I ripped them down.
I took a moment to howl at the full moon...
Just then, I heard another scream...
"DDDDDAAAAAADDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I went inside, only to find that the freezing temperatures had burst the inside lines under the kitchen sink and bathroom sink.
So I replaced the two-way t-valves, replaced the old galvanized line with update mesh lines, and put in a new faucet after cleaning the lines of debris from the corroded piping.
I was then ready to stock up the woodpile, and I heard a cough.
*Cough*
*Cough*
*Cough*
My daughter had contracted a cold.
So I started a fire and threw some hot apple cider on the woodstove for my little muffin.
And as miserable as she was, I know she is feeling much better now after drinking pure energy.
I had about 5 minutes left before my daily workout and said to myself, "sparkuri?", (is what I says), I says "sparkuri, someday you're gonna want an old ball and chain around to make the apple cider, and you know how balls and chains like to garden, so you better frame her some nice planter boxes".
So, I grabbed a couple chunks of wood and got to it....
So all in all pretty much a normal day.
Nothing I'd dub "manly".
Then I killed a Mountain Lion with my bare hands.

I put a second coat of plaster on the bedroom ceiling and started on one of the walls, that's my manly activity for today.

It's a pain if they're not one piece toilets. To get the tank to seal properly and evenly to the bowl i had to alternatively go a quarter turn on the two nuts on the connecting bolts. Which means getting down low enough and reaching back to either side over and over. Gotta be careful with the seal under the bowl too.

Yeah, because imma have to save up for a new one. The cheapos are like a hundo.
I just bought a new tv at Costco, going to hang it over my fireplace mantle this afternoon. Hanging it up there will allow us to get rid of our tv stand and free up some floor space, and we're going to make that corner a play area for the toddler.
Gotta hang this tv on an uneven limestone block fireplace, so I may have to improvise. Probably going to be at least 4 beers worth of work

Hear me out before you call me a sissy....
But you can get an electric chainsaw for like 60 bucks. Depending on what you're doing, it may work. They cut just fine, I have one I use for trimming trees. I have buddies with better saws if I need one. The other day I just cut through some oak logs 8-10" in diameter with my elecreic did it no problem. Not ideal, but they work and are cheap

Hmm, no that might actually be good for a lot of stuff i have in the back. I mean, i have a lot of extension cords. If i take down trees, i do it by axe or saw (for the littler ones anyway). Better exercise.

What I mainly used it for was slicing up the shit i have piled up on occasion so i can fit it in the burn pit.
A lot of what I do is chopping up fire wood too. Great for that. I used it out on a job site the other day and ran it off the outlet in the bed of my Tacoma lol. Worked fine.
This one was like $50 or $60, and they have a 16" for like $20 more. The gray dial is how you adjust chain tension, super easy. FWIW I dropped the chain a few times at first because I wasn't tightening it up enough. And keep it full of bar oil
