DIY youtube videos

I'm not sure about all of you but when I am at a restaurant I need to look at the pictures in order to find out what it is that I want to eat. So, I was thinking every time I need to do something to my G I look it up in the forums and read about how to do it. What I'm thinking about doing is loading some videos up on youtube of me actually doing the work. I'll probably start off with videos showing where things are, showing how to take out the door sills and how to fix them, removing the brush guard, installing all the guards, oil changes, things like that, as that's pretty much where I am at anyways with my abilities. Let me know if you guys think it would be a good idea or if there is already something like this out there. If it works out people could send me the videos and we could make a good source for people with G's to go to who are like me and need a good visual to help them out.

Hope to hear from you all
Scott

I actually avoid restaurants with pictures of the food, in this order:

-Pictures of the food in the menu: Sometimes useful for regional places, kick down a notch.
-Pictures of food on the walls inside: Lower your expectations considerably, walk away if you saw another place close by.
-Pictures of the food on the outside of restaurant: Walk past quickly, make no eye contact with anyone inside.
-Pictures of the food outside, plus the words "tourist menu", plus a guy trying to pull you in: Run in opposite direction, fast!
