Tony just left. We did the rear brakes, changed out 1 caliper, 2 rotors, pads and bled the 1 caliper.

Next!!

Haha...you sound like me. One car after another in my garage for the past week.

Morning all! Work then grad class in an already hot and stuffy room.. should be nice and balmy today!

 

[altspace]

Mmmm...a high of 73 for here today. I'll take it!

 

[THE Phen]

Morning folks. Should be nice here until like 7pm... then thunderstorms, which I'm kinda excited about.

 

[/RX-8Chick]

I miss thunderstorms. Best ones I ever experienced were when I lived in Muskegon, MI.

 

[THE Phen]

At my parents' house, I used to sit on the front porch and watch them. At my current place, no porch, but I do like to open the garage door and sit out there with a glass of scotch or a beer.

I hate to say it, but don't do it because I am not going to be making it to the clean meet. I appreciate the offer and the thought though.


Speaking of which... I have some awesome Navy stories from my students that you would die laughing over.

If you really want B&T then feel free to come and get it when ur in the neighborhood. I seriously have 24 bottles of each (B&T and Lager) that I just bought 2 weeks ago or so in Philly....my gf liked the stuff...but is sadly now my ex, so its just goin to waste....especially since I cant drink for a couple months.

If someone tells me what it costs ill just round down and forget about tax+deposit. I think my cc statement says i paid 41.50 but that cant be right can it? For 48 bottles?

In other news of things that are going to waste....on saturday the 17th there is a thing called the Beer summit in boston (google it for more info..i cant get to the website from work to link you). I went to the one in January...you buy a wristband for 40 bucks each and then you just go in and get a sampler glass and walk around sampling like 3 beers each from 50 or so different local breweries for a few hours until you're good and shitfaced. I have 2 said wristbands which I wont be using....

 

[Reitrof]

Woot...my number was just called. lol So how bad are the calipers to do and you don't have to bleed the whole system?

It depends. Biggest hassle is if the bleeders are frozen. They are soft metal and break easily. Won't know until we replace the caliper. I would spray some PB Blaster on all of the bleeders for the next week or so.

Haha...you sound like me. One car after another in my garage for the past week.

Been a rash of brakes, Mark, Chris, Oleg, Tony twice, not complaining, just noticing.

LOL yea BIG thanks to Bruce, he may be CANADIAN, but he knows brakes! I can stop again! HAHAHAHA.......

Glad you made it home.

Morning all. Another nice day. Getting to drive top down all the time now. beautiful this morning. Days like this I need a longer commute.

Doh....forgot you would not be there.

You have me intrigued with the stories....

I'll pay ya for an extra 12 of Yuengling to take home Won't be down that way till August

No problem...just specify which...lager, light, b&t, premium, etc....

I'm stuck at work til 3:30

Bah....I'm here 'til 5. Then it's right home to pick up the boy and run him to soccer practice. My wife will be taking our daughter to cheerleading tryouts from 5:30-7:30 and then dance from 8-9. Busy night....

If someone tells me what it costs ill just round down and forget about tax+deposit. I think my cc statement says i paid 41.50 but that cant be right can it? For 48 bottles?

That sounds about right for two cases. IIRC the b&t is a few bucks more than the lager.

It depends. Biggest hassle is if the bleeders are frozen. They are soft metal and break easily. Won't know until we replace the caliper. I would spray some PB Blaster on all of the bleeders for the next week or so.

Ok...I'll start spraying them tonight.

Oh, and you can add me to the list. Ever since I changed my front pads, I've been getting a pulse in the pedal.....guess I should have had the rotors re-surfaced. So looks like I'll be changing pads/rotors on all four corners in addition to the caliper.


Oh yeah...good morning.

 

[genericuser]

it is going to be fun to fill the CRV with yuengling when I'm down in PA in a few weeks

 

[Tautochrone]
