It is still somewhat sore.. depends on what position I put it in.. I think a lot of the pain is a pulled muscle in the upper arm..

We finally had winter hit us here. It's a little on the chilly side. The biggest thing is the temps didn't work their way down. It was like mild then -20's during the night. I am wai........was typing I am waiting for parts. They just arrived at the door. The question now is do I want to finish the job in -12 or wait.

That's good. I have the back half of a brake job to do. Was waiting on a caliper. I thought one rear was siezed up. Turned out both are. I saved over $60.00 per caliper ordering from Rock Auto. I like to shop local but $120.00 is a lot of money.

This may be why the parts were a day late.

The total for each caliper was total $118.00 and change. That includes caliper, core, taxes, exchange on the dollar, and shipping. The best price I could get here was $160.00 without taxes.

That highway is closed again. I guess they found some cracks. The poor Fedex guys travel time has probably doubled the last week. The slide is between Summerland and Peachland.
