    Rear brakes done. Pain. There's four (4) Jesus clips on this one caliper. Two (2) little hitch pin Jesus clips and two (2) wtf Jesus clips. Almost left the old pads on there as they weren't even half worn out. But since had it off replaced em. So good for at least 10 more years lol

    I was going to go buy brake pads and shoes for my '08 Ford focus today, but got called to do a trailer shuttle. Been kind of slow or I would have turned it down.
    I bought the Focus new in '08, has 195,000 miles on it and is still on the original brakes. So I'll get them done on my next off day.
    Maybe.

    Pound for pound, those were the toughest rigs Ford ever came out with— Other Half bought one new in 07 and drove it pretty hard till it had about 100k on it— gave it to the daughter when she got her license and I don’t want to know what she did to it— son inherited it when he got his license and ran it till he graduated and bought his own— I drove it to and from the yard when I was truck’n and then sold it at 238k to a guy whose daughter was getting her license for 2k and it’s still on the road in Twin Falls

    Day three is history... My feet are much happier today. So we finished our lines dispatches for the entire week by 0930 this morning. So we were doing books the rest of the day... Books are random parts needed by the stock room or service department. I worked on 3 books today... 1 by myself, one with another guy on my line, and the last 3 of us each are building one of the same part.

    This is that part... Its a blade for a potato digger. Pictures are looking at the botom and its not finished.
