Good evening everyone!
Hannah had a rough day today. Better when I left than when I got there though, so we're hoping she continues to improve.
Jealous of the freedom you guys have Dave! Must be pretty sweet to pick where you get to set-up shop without being locked in somewhere with work.

Good morning fellas!
It's Hump day so get busy! Did I mention I hate rust, and I do mean hate!!! Fixing a leaking brake line on my moms car and I keep going and getting more brake line as the more I mess with it the more leaks start. Uggggh! I should have never offered! I'm NEVER working on this car again! I told her that and I think she is going to look for another soon.

Good morning everyone!
What kind of car is it Cory?
I absolutely detest dealing with rust. Had my Optima in for tires and an alignment at Fleet Farm yesterday and got an unexpected phone call from the tech. Turns out he snapped one of the upper rear control arms trying to break a nut free. They're having to eat a $100 part, and it'll be ready this morning. Better them than me dealing with this stuff, but I'm a bit surprised they didn't charge me for the part. Probably wasn't their fault it broke.

Good morning guys...
Cory, I've been in your shoes with leaky brake lines on a couple of occassions.
Do yourself a favor and just buy a few lines from NAPA along with the unions to join them and run the new line parallel to the old one.. Zip tie the new line to the old one rather than trying to remove the old line, or cut the old one out with a strong set of side-cutters..

Yeah I woke up to a couple loud cracks of thunder and that was about it luckily. We got about a half inch of rain so far.
Good morning Jim!

I believe it is a Buick Le Sabre or Park Ave.
