Good Morning CGs!
I was pretty busy around the house yesterday. I had my FIL's car to do a brake change on. All new rotors and pads. Of course the bolts and rotors didn't want to give up without a fight. Lots of PB blaster and surprisingly little swearing. A lot of work with a wire wheel cleaning up the components. 5 hours later it was done I did front pads a few years ago, those were about 40%. Rear pads looked original to the car, 66k, and wearing into the backing plate. While under the car I also discovered a huge hole in the floorboard (common to 2002-2006 Altimas apparently), he needs a new serpentine belt, and a new muffler. As much as some states complain about vehicle inspections, I think there is some merit to it. All of these problems could have been handled with preventative maintenance. I'll tackle the other problems later. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. Hidey-ho! Got to sleep in a bit, will be headed to a golf course in Wisconsin in a little while to do some excavating, one divot at a time. Looks like it will be a beautiful day out there. Enjoy your Friday, Gurus! |

Though day scheduled.
10 a.m. - hit the music studio, play some Yes, Kansas, Hank J., Stevie Nicks, Areosmith, REO Show Gary how to put a powerwindow gear in a 66 Corvette while watching Indy Carb Day. Put his racecar on the scales and balance the corner weights. And doing that all in the same building. Then, I'm gonna DNBFS. |

That color hides the dirt well also.......that color with the two tone interior is one of my all time favorites......and the car makes some great sound as it moves up through the gears.....very nice Tee!
Good to see you today and Uwoman is very happy to have you working on the project. I think she has other ideas for future projects also.......yikes! |

I found this random picture on the internet. I don't know whose garage it is, but there's no way I could have OSB on the ceiling and tongue and groove pine on the walls. Just clashes. That guy should do something about that. I'd tell him that if I ever found out who he was.... |
