I can hear the chatter now over the toaster oven's intercom....

"Pilot to Copilot, this is PapaBear. Come in Flight Commander, Copilot MamaBear."
"This is MamaBear. you have permission to speak."
"MB the AC is FUBAR. Please review the MISSION ABORT PROTOCOL."
"Negative PB... You promised <signal lost as electrical impulses peg the intercept meters and ......> (Radio Silence)

Will try to reestablish contact.

You, sir, are on a roll! You will never be on the "preferred PM picture" list now! You will just have to wait for "K" pictures like the rest of us.

 

[zout]

I'll try to get some misc pictures up tonight of pieces that need replacement and stuff cleaned up & rebuilt to reuse.

I can have the front brake lines in along with the wheel cylinders but i am waiting for brake springs yet.

Hopefully another box to get delivered today?

I am beginning to think you are ordering stuff one piece at a time for a reason.

Let's just pray that the ol' One-Piece-At-A-Time method doesn't always produce THESE RESULTS......

The orders - you guys are smarter than ya look - why of course I order once piece at a time - surprised I have not have had visitors when UPS delivers.

As far as PB - this afternoon I was sending pic after pic of awesome New York favorites to him - I am in for a a** whooping when he gets home - but I bet he's headed to one of them places for chow.

OK - brake system for the steer has been the challenge to see what is available - no clue to what to look up on a computer so we can narrow the search so I finally got sick of it.
I cleaned up and honed the front wheel cylinders and they are in great shape - 1 3/8ths pucks both ends and you will see the results.
Brake lines - no brainer - cut - double flare my own.
Fittings - now there was the challenge and we finally overcame the problem - you will see.
Hardlines ran on the steer and I did not pop my first beer until it was DONE.
Master cylinder is on back order along with NEW return springs for the brake shoes (reason hubs are not installed) you will see.

Tomorrow wiring work begins and attending my oldest grandsons birthday party as well.

that pic of my back yard - at the end of that opening was a doe and a 6 pint buck at 7.02 this morning while sipping coffee on the back porch before I headed back to the garage again after Zout2 woke up.

My gal from UPS just delivered the master cylinder and return springs on BO yet. Such a sweet heart.

I gave her a gallon container of home grown dehydrated figs off my two trees.

 

[papabear]

I would like to see her in a fig leaf outfit
