I worked on the brakes early this morning and made a huge mess ( not much progress) as I was trying to do this by myself. I got pretty frustrated and stopped around 1 pm to run a few errands. For the recored my cell phone number is 713-501-7963 a better way to reach me at times.... You're always welcome to drop by with the little Eskimos. Kendall is almost 16 months and is a joy. Tomorrow we're taking her to the Astros game. Dee is a huge baseball fan. Sorry I missed your email. I could have used your foot.....

After the wheel was done, the drum went on and I installed the tire, let the bus down..... ok good, no not ok.... I jacked up the right side and pulled the tire off, the drum and installed the new shoes on that side... ( also cleaned the start nuts ........) installed the drum, the tire and let the bus down..... I'm tired ... have not bled the brakes yet, I'll save that for tomorrow.. Anyone want to watch me , I have beer , margaritas, I can find something good to cook , eat.....
