If I left things for him they'd never get done. Just gonna suck it up and get them off then neverseize the hell out of them.

PS: The tires NEED to come off to put new rotors on. I'm sure it needs them by now. The brakes have been worn out for over a year. It's probably pretty safe to assume that its metal on metal in there now.

Well, I am still awake at 2:46 AM. My dog decided to eat what was left of his food at 1 when I was planning to go to bed, and since he has been throwing it up lately, I am up babysitting him. At least if he starts throwing up, I can drag him into the kitchen and off of the carpet.
