Happy Monday, Barners. Supposed to be a nice day, but visibility is less than 1/4 mile here. We're socked in. Can't even see halfway down my driveway.

I didn't realize it needed to be said but don't get on any helicopters in that weather.

Doesn't help but no it's had issues all along. Know issue with those van years. Bet it's the 4th or 5th caliper I know of.

New rf caliper and hose and pads on frt. Pads were rust jacked some on lf also.
Backs get a go through later.

I'm dragging bad.... Tube hurting again

I've flew quite a few Bell 212's when working offshore out of NOLA. The cargo helicopter with 20 people sitting on plywood benches then. Thanks PHI.

Never again

Another day another fixing shitty workmanship. Last turd that did van brakes didn't check rear caliper slide pins and one was bent Well that'll surely not let brakes work properly. New pins were purchased but sun cooked us this morning so nothing was done this evening.
Almost all of the lug nuts required 2 ft breaker bar and me standing on it to get loose, caliper bracket bolts about the same. Spent a good hour cleaning galvanic corrosion off rims and rotors. Northern cars are horrible to work on.
Hopefully get brakes finished by lunch tomorrow after a Sam's club run.
I'm dragging as heat and sun has been brutal the last 2 days.

So you didn’t take it easier today? Get some rest and stay hydrated.

No.... Too much to get done unfortunately. It was over 90 the last 2 days, full sun and humid. We were in heat too much, friend looks completely wore out.
I drank alot of water but not enough I fear. Have 2 bottles next to me to finish up before bed. I get so busy I forget to take a break and drink. I have issues
I still have 3 solid days of car work left I bet, this is what happens when I don't come up every 3 to 4 months. Next trip should be around first week of August I hope.

Hope you sleep well and all night

Good luck on the cars. You know August will be much hotter. Hoping I can stay asleep for 4-5 hours. Thanks!

Morning all

Started destroying the old carpet in the living room yesterday.
Tearing out for hardwood floors. Goes into the dining room also,
but I'm doing it in 3 sections. Should be good for a week or 2 of
busy work.
Meant to do this over 3 years ago. All supplied were bought, but then
my quadriceps blew out, Covid settled on me, and the wife got sick.
Finally tossed all the junk the wife wouldn't let me, and I got nothing
but time now, although there's one item I wish I still had
Going to schedule my hail damage repair today (Hopefully, claim is in with
insurance. Oh, btw, I need a new roof too- more hail damage. Only 8 years old)

Anyway, have a good one.
Jim, if you need help, let me know.
I could go for a road trip about now, but those temps are scary! I sweat profusely too.
