Good Morning CGs!
Well, I'm here, so it looks like we all made it past Friday the 13th....that was a huge relief. Working a couple more days then I'm off for a few. Gotta watch the baby while my wife will be working, though, so no play time for daddy. I was with her all day yesterday and she's teething really bad. She just screams and wants to be carried around. Can't really blame her, huh? Teething gel helps a little bit, but it's not the end-all. Hopefully these couple she's got coming out now make it soon and end the misery. Any big plans for the weekend? Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Wifey is working an agriculture show for today and tomorrow. I'm headed to the airport later today to pick someone up. Routine chores remain on the list. We'll see what gets done as the day progresses.
Matt, you have my sympathy. This could be the future Yoko Ono. |

Howdy! Gloomy day here - the Mrs. thinks I'm going to clean the carpet today. We bought one of those Keurig single-cup coffee machines yesterday, so maybe I'll get really wired up on caffeine before I start cleaning, zip through it in no time.

I leave to pick my son up at the Columbia, SC airport this afternoon. Shame they could not fly him into Atlanta, but after two years overseas I am just glad to see him re-assigned to a US airbase (Shaw AFB, Sumter, SC). He has two weeks leave so he will be home for Thanksgiving as well.
Since today is also my birthday it is like an extra and very nice birthday present. |

Hi guys! I got up early and went down to school to do a brake job on my pickup. It has been squeaking when I back up, she has over 100K on her, so I figured it was time. Pulled things apart and found that the fronts weren't too bad, Drivers side front rotor was worn a little funny but there was lots of pad left. Passenger side front rotor and pads were in pretty good shape. Passenger side rear inside pad was down to squeaker (there's where the noise was coming from) but the outside pad looked like it was only half used? Drivers side rear looked pretty good. I had already bought new rotors and pads so I proceeded to go ahead. I broke off the T-55 torx bit trying to get the caliper bolt loosened on the very first bolt, so had to stop and go buy another, finally got that done and then had a heck of a time removing the "halos" but did. Then when I pulled the dr side rear rotor off, the e-brake pad had ground a groove into the rotor about an 1/8" deep. Apparently some time when the e-brake had been applied, it didn't release. Anyway I got it all back together and then sucked out the master cylinder of all the old crappy looking fluid and replaced with new and then bled all. I've got really good brakes again, ready for another 100K...but it took most of the day.
Weather is supposed to move it tonight and we are under a winter storm watch until noon Monday. |

That seems like a lot of work. My wife's solution to your brake problem would've been to: a). Don't back up, or b). Turn up the radio |

Funny you say that Brad. I am also dealing with a problem with my youngest daughter (married and have daughter of their own). Here is the short version:
She calls me last Sunday and says that her car, an 06 Mercury Mariner, was having problems. Apparently, they went to WallyWorld, and everything was fine, when they came out they started it and started to back out, but the engine was running real rough, so she pulled back in and parked it. Her hubby pops the hood and checks oil and finds no oil on the dipstick. Goes back in and buys some oil and puts in three quarts to bring it up to the safe zone. But now the engine won't start. Have it hauled to a mechanic where they tell her that she needs a new engine. They don;t have the money for a new engine, so guess who is putting a new engine in their car? I found a used engine and she talked to her boss (kind of a gearhead about my age) and he said he'd do the swap for her. During my initial talk with her I asked if they checked to the oil.."No since we changed it 5000 miles back." "You don't check the oil when you fill with gas?" "No, are we supposed to?" I guess I did too much for them as they grew up and didn't teach them enough.... |
