Mrs. C's B'day is next week so I got her a high zoot rain suit and a nice throw from LL Bean. I'm also going to be in Mexico during her birthday. That 3 day in advance air fare was spendy. At least I got a quick 1st class upgrade.

I knew what you meant.

Ducar 224cc 6.4hp crate engine to repower my skip-find snowblower project.

A heating element for my dryer. Freaking thing died while drying towels. Now all my towels are wet

New O2 sensors, Brakes (pads and rotors all the way around) transmission filter kit and fluid, and a new rear window washer sprayer for the cheap (not anymore) Nissan. It got new tires and an alignment yesterday. All the local Goodyear shop had in that size was Kelly Edge tires. So far I'm not impressed. They're pretty noisy, and the wet weather traction certainly leaves quite a bit to be desired.

Samsung Galaxy A52 to replace the wife's Galaxy A50 with its smashed screen.

And today was a Dewalt XR Max 20V Drill/Impact drill combo set.

Refurbished, repowered, repainted, let the snow come.

Nice! I may just end up ordering a carb off of Amazon for mine to get it running and clean the original as a back up. Ultimately i would not be surprised if i repowered it later with a motor from Princess auto with the 110V electric start lol

This was past saving, the airbox was missing, carb rusted almost solid the valves barely moved and since it`s been open to the elements water had gotten in, peeking through the plug hole I saw excessive rusting in both the piston and the bore, and the oil sump was full of grey goo so didn`t even bother opening it as a new bolt-on crate engine cost me 160eur.

Possibly an 06 Mercury Mondeo. I'm probably playing with fire, but I'm playing financier for a friend who needs a car, but has crap credit.

Thankfully, it's cheap enough to not cause a lot of impact, but it still worries me to no end. I loath doing business with friends.
