So, I still haven’t sat down to write my paper on blogging… I really need to take the time to sit down and write something…
I will be heading back out to my parents sometime today to finish working on the van… I had gone out there yesterday to replace the brake pads. I had a bit of trouble… I was having problems with this cheap little “one size fits most” attachment that is used to turn the piston back in on the brake caliper… The stupid thing didn’t fit the calipers I have, so I had to modify the thing…. and it kept slipping… and, in order for me to get the one piston to get turned back into position, I had to take the stupid caliper completely off the van, so that I could apply the force necessary to turn and press the sucker back in… Well, in the process of taking the thing off, I had to, of course take the brake line off the caliper… So, now I am having problems bleeding the system… I’m going to have to completely bleed the thing out, and refill it, because I have yet to get any air out of the system… I keep getting nothing but fluid, and the brakes are still super soft and unresponsive… (Funny thing, dad moved the van last night before we left, and damn near took out a tree, because he could find the parking brake…)
My hand hurts… ratcheting that piston in wasn’t easy…
Taron’s happy… He was able to watch VeggieTales for the first time in a few days… The VCR wasn’t working… I fixed it night before last… A cube of cheese had been put inside…
Well, I have nothing more to report at this time…
