I plumbed a dirt track car years ago with a dry sump. The bill on everything was a grand. I can imagine that just the dry sump wasn't pocket change at any place.

Its a five stage pump $1500 in hose and fittings only

Look close the oil filter housing also works as a primer

Pulled the engine on the Sable for Shelby's car, and did some brake work on a 37 Ford pickup.

I changed 2 tires on the Dakota this morning and then started tracing wires on the 51's cruise control. I had to remove about half of the wiring in the dash. The power lead was one that had a junction with 4 wires connected. I cut the wrong one when I striped the harness. The rest of the wires have been checked for continuity as has the switches. Next time out I'll find out if it works. This wasn't a fun way to spend the day. :)

Had a trailer given to our deer camp to haul a 275 gal. water tank to town to get water for camp. It was free so of course it needed some work, new tires among other things. One side had two studs broken off and  the other three lug nuts rounded off. On the other side the lugs came right off. We took off the hub on the bad side and I chiseled the three remaining lugs off and drove out the studs....yup they are left hand thread.  :) got new studs ordered at the local NAPA, they actually got out the paper catalog and found them, kind of odd they had no knurling. I got right had thread on the new ones.

My son bought me a quad copter with a camera for my birthday.  It takes photos and video and it cost less than $50.  I have had some experience flying another quad that I bought a year ago.  The pictures are not high quality but they are good enough.  I took a photo of me, but when I downloaded the photo it was one of some old gray hair man.

John, at least that's only a camera. I've got a mirror that every time I look in it there's this old guy looking out at me, kinda spooky.

Been over run with chipmunks this summer so I declared open season on them. I'm using a variation of the bucket mouse trap of Georges. It's the bucket with ramp, water with sunflower seed covering it plus my 22 rifle. The last week and a half has seen the end of at least 3 dozen. Just since Fri afternoon the buckets have accounted for 22 of them and the rifle claimed 2 an hour ago. Oh and I checked and none of them were named Alvin

phat rat, did you get rid of Simon, Theodore and Alvin? :)
That's a serious total. If you're only getting a small percentage, how many are left?

There's plenty more, I live on 15 acres of woods. I'm only getting those around the house. We haven't had a cat since 2000 and they've really multiplied, so it was time to thin them out. They have holes in the yard and all over the wifes flower gardens
