Done fighting with insurance. Done car shopping. Now I am bored.
Have to work tonight, so no beer...
Guess I could do some cleanup in the basement.

Monday is a boring day for me to. Laundry, pick up the house, etc...all the things someone else should do??
She tells me when she retires she'll take over the laundry. She can have it!!
I was getting pretty excited thinking she was retiring in June. I'd even counted out and was tracking how many "laundry days" I had left.
Now she goes and takes a promotion and plans to work no more than a couple more years.
On one hand I say WTF two more years of "laundry day"...on the other hand its a big raise AND my lifestyle remains the same. OK I'll survive!!

I'd trade my 50 hour work week for 'laundry day' I do laundry occasionally anyway...
Here's the recipe for the smoked chicken dip.

Buy a sharpie...My wife puts eye liner on the grocery list.
Like I would pick out what she needs.
Well we're still frozen up, have water to the bulkhead fitting on the RV so have all cupboards open, should have had that last night with water running, newbie mistake to living in an RV.
That is a smookin deal IMO

We had chicken dip last night - which was great. But, this looks awesome. I like that it is baked to finish. Have always had it as a crock pot dish. I'm sure the smoker adds something. I'd likely be using a rotisserie chicken from Giant which do usually have a bit of smoky flavor.
Waiting on a customer,my mistake. Said 9:00 or so.
No biggie.
Plowed everything. Its difficult to see when the wipers are popsicles.cab is hot and ice wont melt off windshield.

anyone in here ever rebuilt their own disc brake calipers? Thinking i might give it a go this time.
Laundry Day is a term we use that includes, house cleaning, vacuum, dishes, changing bed sheets, dry cleaners, and a couple others.
When you retire someday like me, you'll realize your busier than when you did work...right Mike??
Used to. Many moons ago. Didnt think kits were so readily available.
One thing, there used to be phenolic pistons, they were prone to cracking and if worn they would wedge in the bore and drag.
Not sure what the appropriate lubricant is to use nowadays, but we used brake fluid to lubricate the rings to assemble.
Big thing was to loosen bleeder before you start,if you break it, then get a reman caliper,time better spent elsewhere.

I am sure I will have no problem filling my days. In the last few years I had a couple of unemployment runs and was busier than ever. Including helping with house stuff. On a good note, that time off is how my car got done.

Yeah. I have always just bought new or reman'd but no one local stocks these calipers and rockauto, i'd have to ship the old ones in for core charges, not sure how that works exactly. Meanwhile, I can get the rebuild kits for 1/4 of the price and now core. The core charge is more than the calipers themselves but I think i have to pay shipping on top of that. plus the polara is about learning new things. Which is why I am converting BACK to points.

Local store won't ship them in and take your core? Stores hardly stock anything, but they usually can have stuff quick. Sometimes less than a day if at another store or regional warehouse.

No, they don't even list them. I'm gonna check with KeaganB, he works at the local advance auto, he's been able to pull part numbers up for me that others can't.
