What Part/s Did You Buy Today for Your Hobby or Project ???

Just arrived, which was good timing, as I just got back to my Island. Old style glass bowl / filter / shut off tap, for my 41 Ford tractor. Filters had fallen apart and clogged. New part complete was $22.50. Also arrived a 700 watt oil filled heater.
Getting hard to find these units. Got both from Amazon. Amazon delivers to my Island, so I need to consider that with all purchases.
While I was on the mainland doing nothing, Ozzy David pulled three stumps for me, and another David cut up the two trees I had dropped. Now I need to move the stumps, and tidy up the front lawn.
 
For the shop so I guess you can say for all the cars. Tubing straightener, and tubing flare kit

Reminds me of a song by Donavan. Here’s your gold watch and shackles for your chain. And your piece of paper to say you left here sane. Goldwatch Blues.
