Oil preheater in aluminum trans pan

Man, I can totally relate. It kills me to see my wife, Kitty, being able to COMPLETE "whatever" craft project she wants, whenever she wants. She has more crap than the crap man when it comes to her hobby. But she'll take a 20 dollar bill and go to the dollar store and come out with what she wanted and still have money left over. Here I am with a pile of parts and nothing finished, because my hobby costs so much. I have forward motion, but it's so slow, it's almost not measurable. lol But that's ok, it's still progress. LOL
I totally understand. I am in the same boat but it is starting to come together now and I am very motivated to get it running now.
