Well….it has been an interesting day today that has taken me quite far out of the normal routine…so I don’t think there will be any political comments, at least right now since the papers are only a distant memory and I don’t know if I want to go back and re-read them right now…so, I’ll just give an update of the morning and the wonderful weirdness that has happened. As you know, if you look down at the mornings first one, I was planning on working on the brakes on the wreck…and I did go out and get the parts, but broke my lug wrench jumping on it to get the tires off….so I had to go back and get a socket to fit them and use my breaker bar to get them off. After that, the brakes actually came apart pretty easily and things were going well until I installed the wrong pad in the back of the driver’s side and then the other side wouldn’t go together…took quite a while to figure out I had made a mistake and had to take both sides back apart and install the pads in the right places….this still only took a total of about 45 minutes so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much….but I get to since this site belongs to me….and it was a good idea to to get this done today since the thinnest pad had less than 1/8 inch left on it…way too thin for the brakes to be effective. This should be the last time I do brakes since the car is just rusting away and I think I may wake up some morning, go outside, and the car will be gone…leaving just a small rust pile where it would have been….
