I'm feeling pretty good Brent a bit sore especially with all of the moving around that I am doing the past few days. It is so good to have J-L back with me. It is going to be a long fight to keep her but well worth it in the end.

my brother got home at 6:30...has his ex-wifes tahoe...brakes are out...quick inspection, right rear big puddle brake fluid.
pull the wheel and wheel cylingder is leaking, call Napa, got 2 in stock...he removed it while I ran over for parts...I got back, he replaced the wheel cylinder, helped him bleed it .
Test drive all good, gotta find the new shoes somewhere in the garage and replace the shoes and the other wheel cylinder on sunday...good reason to hook up the compressor!
Glad you're feeling better, Jim!
My dad and younger brother both got the good metabolism, the rest of us got slow metabolism from moms side...
Edit...Napa closes at 7...I had about 3 minutes to spare, Good thing we called first! $30 for both.

I actually really like the local napa store. There is a older fella there that i always deal with, and he actually knows his stuff.
The prices cant be beat (for the most part!) and dealing with this older fella, sure makes me happy to keep going back, even sometimes if there is a problem with their parts.
