Belated Happy Birthday, Micah. Mmm. Elk backstrap. Haven't had that in quite a while. Porterhouse steaks and brisket sounds good, too. Decisions, decisions.

 

morning all. we are headed to wolf lodge tonight. It is the best steakhouse around and i am looking forward to a porterhouse

 

Good morning Spudland, hope you had a fine weekend!!

 

Afternoon Micah and Craig

-The Great

 

Hi everyone. Getting close to the new semester start date. I bought my textbooks and supplies for this semester today. Two weeks to go. Where did the summer go?

 

Good morning Idaho, happy Hump Day! Craig, my kids started school on Monday! Crazy!

 

Morning Idaho.

 

Good morning Idaho, happy Thursday!

 

Good morning everyone. Pat, Salena, my oldest, started her next session a few weeks ago. She's attending Grand Canyon University online. My semester starts up 8/25/2014 and Jennifer, my youngest, goes back to Eastern Oregon University near the end of September. It's going to get "interesting" around here in a couple of weeks.

Also, I'll be posting a "proper" advertisement, but thought I'd share it here, too:

WTB: '97 Ford Parking Brake Pedal Assembly
I'm interested in locating this soon-to-be-obsolete assembly for my truck, see signature for details. Shop is attempting to locate the part to provide a repair estimate. I just dropped ~$450 in additional brake system repairs that lead to finding this problem.

Had another issue with my left-rear brake. Shop determined the parking brake pedal assembly is not releasing properly; only ratcheting tight to take up slack. Brand new brake shoes that my friend and I replaced cracked due to this condition.

 

Morning Idaho.

 

Good morning Idaho, happy Friday! Craig, that sucks about the brakes! Hopefully you can find a pedal assembly for it quick.

 

Good morning everyone.

Pat, it is still available from the dealer ($290 - uh, no way) and a friend of mine found a '96 F-250 (same pedal assembly) in a new JY near his home in Twin Falls, ID, so that's a possibility. I haven't checked my local JYs, yet. I now the years and models that I need to look for, so I'm hopeful that I can obtain one in good working order. I'll probably buy new cables though. I'm not going to take a chance on JY cables.

 

Morning Craig. I'd do the same, get the pedal out of the yard, and spring for the new cables. Should be a lot of those trucks around, I would think.

 

Howdy Idaho.

 

Good morning everyone. I'm waiting for the "gang" to show up so we can repair a fellow veteran's drywall damage. He has neurological issues, fell getting out of bed, and left a 2' x 3' depression in his wall. We're going to correct that today.
