Last night's fun...
Run down the hill after work to grab some stuff for my mom and get all of my brake parts.
Work on fixing problems at home after the previous day's lightning strike took out almost all of our digital electronics. Got the GFCI outlets replaced but the WiFi is still a no go as we aren't getting any signal from Comcast. Hopefully that will be fixed today...
Get my tools and parts loaded up a little after midnight and roll over to the shop. Had to finish someone else's work again to have room to work but at least it was only a blower motor. Started my brakes around one.
Get Everything stripped down, stuck nut on the brake line for the passenger side. Spend a long time finding the heating head for the torch but finally give up and very carefully heat it with the cutting torch. No damage was dealt and after cooling the nut came right out. New hardware, shoes, cylinders, and drums installed on both sides by 3:30 AM.
Bleeding the system by myself was terrible. My slick one man bleeder had rotted apart while stores so I repaired it using some random vacuum line. Did not work as well! Got them mostly bled at the cylinders and used the syringe bleeder from the master. They were good enough by about 4:30 AM.
Cleaned up the shop and made some minor carb adjustments. Got home a little after five. Filled the tank for the first time in a year on the way.
In bed by six, got two hours of sleep and drive to work. Victory!
