Mine varies from day to day. Electricity of course is right up there. Our last bill computes to $3 a day for lektric. Lights, hot water, etc.
Water heater.
Internal combustion engine.
Hydraulics since I was 20 yrs into the garbage hauling.
Today it's diesel engines. 420 HP Cummins in a delivery truck zipping around Omaha.
What's yours?
Oh, and Conibears. 🙂

Of course its the two Canadian inventions in the early 50s that revolutionized trapping.
Armand Bombardiers skidoo and Frank Conibears trap.

My favorite invention which I invented many years ago is the 2 wheeled wheelbarrow that you see everywhere now.
