Sigh, not going to be able to make it.

Ashley put the fear in me.

I recently put new rear brakes onto Bertha, two weeks ago, and notice the splining on one of the drums was starting to go. About two-thirds left. Cheryle drove Bertha for a week on her job, then I went camping, then I called about finding a new drum before a slew of errands and driving up to Amboy.

Ashley had one new one on the shelf, but nothing else in town and no time for a trafton run. $109 new Brazillian. I was just pricing and mentioned to Ashley the splining was starting to go. He opined I had about a week before it went all the way (!), after two weeks of driving he tells me this.

I resisted the panic and Bertha got me done with my errands and up to Amboy. But now I have the fear.

Called Avery's on Wednesday, and they said they had a bus come in with essentially new drums all the way around, but they needed time to pull them. Still no word from them, and they aren't open weekends. Hopefully I can make the Lab Monday, but it depends on Avery's at this point.


Have fun,

Bummer! Let me know when you're going to Avery's, I've not been and would like to go look around.

I will not be able to make it, family obligations. Hopefully next time.

Hate to say it but I'm out too -- Mary's still sick and I've gotta stick around or she'll be pissed off .. even if all she's doing is sleeping.

... no, I don't get it either.
