Hey guys,

Been real busy with work lately, finally get some time to work on my baby. Working on the brakes this weekend. Already got one stuck drum and a stripped bleeder screw so this may end up nasty. I was wondering which of these I need: imgur: the simple image sharer. I know I need the 2 rear, but what about the fronts. One set are 30 each the other 10. Any ideas?

Good evening Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Finally... A day off.

Dave, sounds like fun... Even if you have to wash the truck.

Evening guys, went for a ride on the bike to Portland and back today. Had a ride day for the race car club. Coming back I broke the shifter on the bike and had to baby it in from Warm Springs stuck in over drive.

Evening guys. Haven't been on much since yesterday morning. Got a call from a buddys wife telling me he passed away from Agent Orange complications Wed, and another call from another Vet buddy last night telling me he goes into surgery Sept 11 to get his gallbladder removed. He has a fast acting gallbladder cancer.

I'm losing all my friends, and it sucks........

It truly does suck........My buddy Rob across the street is going to VA for another operation on his spine and the doc's told him he has a 50/50 chance of becoming a quadriplegic. I'm just getting tired of watching all my friends pass away. I guess I'm just to damn old......
