I swear, the older I get.....
Went to pre-oil the engine since it hasn't spun in over 20 years. I wanted to make sure the pump worked and flowed before I dropped in a battery and did the compression check.
1- Hook up oil pressure gauge (check)
2- Make long tool for drill to spin pump (check)
3- Make sure oil is full and clean (check)
4- Crank drill and stare at gauge (check)
5- Notice oil spraying all over because the old bastard forgot to spin on a new filter (check)
6- Mop up shop floor and spread lot of dog training pads (check)
