Good morning Cory, Troy, Jim.

Funny story Cory. NOT! So, as I was trying to loosen the both on the left rear shock the breakers bar swung up and tapped the brake line right at the distribution block on the axle and cracked the line. Go me!

So it was actually about 1-1/2 evenings for the shocks and another 1-1/2 for the brake lines back there. What a fiasco. Finally finished about 10:45 last night.

The lines needed to be replaced as they were severely corroded but still not what I wanted to tackle when under a time crunch. And now my batteries seem to be taking a crap.

Busy day for me today!

Oh man Jay that is about how it goes. What should be a simple one night project turns into so much more. You should have a drink. Come on beer thirty!

Sounds like every friggin project I do. I was wondering why you had to bleed your brakes to change shocks

Is it time to be done for the day? This day seems to be dragging on today.

Morning Troy and everyone else!

Let's not talk about tomorrow yet! Although I have a short day cause we have the inspection on the new house so I took the afternoon off.
