Why am I thinking that if trucks are washed today they will be frozen shut tomorrow?

Why do I absolutely hate drum brakes?

Friday night I had to use my parking brake but when I pull the release nothing releases save for the pedal. So I had to limp home with the brakes smelling strongly of overheating pad (mind you they were already glazed and one may have even had signs or cracking).

Next day I take it to my shop and they are pack and want get around to looking at it until Tuesday (today) so now today I get a call saying once again they need to replace all the guts of the rear brakes + shoes and I would expect drums to the tune of $525.

The $650+install disc brake axle swap is beginning to look economical just so I don't have so many parts too fail in the first place.

Rear discs aren't without problems either but overall are better for stopping.

Why does there never seem to be enough time in my machining class to get very far in my projects?

Why did I take one about 35 years ago. Don't remember much, but still have the hammer I made with a plastic head and a brass head. I sucked at cutting threads.
