What's Cliff up to?

The temperature is above 100 degrees, but Cliff is in his shop.  He isn't doing anything strenuous, though.  


He is working with a teeny, tiny piece of a tractor part, a piece of ....


a freshly-cleaned carburetor from an Oliver 550 tractor!  


I realize this is a terrible picture, but hey... deal with it.  
I go out to the shop from time to time to eat a freezer-pop.  We've found out freezer-pops don't taste nearly as good, eaten in an air-conditioned house.  There's something about the way a hot day melts them, turning them to brightly-colored syrup and slush, that makes them yummy.   
Iris doesn't want to leave the air conditioned house, but she also doesn't want me going outside without her.  So she suffers the heat with me.




Here's a brief snippet of Cliff working on the carburetor.  In the background you'll hear the roar of a fan, and Tom T. Hall singing on the XM radio.  
I hate the way Youtube puts links to unrelated videos at the end of my videos.  Does anybody know if there's a way I can prevent them doing that?
