Back brakes on Neon finally done. For drum brakes, I think the smaller the car the bigger the PITA. Everything is smaller except the spring tension. lol Had to do a little research to figure out correct way everything went, some were wrong before.
 
Painter gave me two week extension on paint date. Just dawned on me I can't take Demon to painter even if it was ready. 6 ft drifts against door and in approach! Arghh! I have been so focused on car I forgot, I got to get it on the race trailer somehow! Trying to hire a yard elf for snow removal. I swear some days I just can't see the forest for the trees. I think I will mix a nice drink and go make some dinner for the bride. Stuffed chops, garlic bread and some TBD veggie. She had to work today as well. I had to dig out rail cars and take a torch to rail switch. No wind so that is a plus.
 
We have had a few rounds of snow, but nothing staying around more than a few days. Today was a little cooler than the last couple, but at least was a little above freezing when I was out working on the car.

They are going to demolish the house across the street on the corner this Wednesday... (My old neighbor Bob's house...)

So the fire department is using it for training the newer guys on how to cut through the roof to vent the smoke and heat out of a burning house... This way the experienced guys are there watching and coaching them on what they are doing right and what they can improve on... Then they will know what to do when fighting a real fire...

It is actually much harder to do than it appears, I was a fireman for just over 7 years.

It's cool to watch... Some action in the hood is always good....

I like to have before and after pictures to see how things have changed... I wish I had some good pitures from when they used to have the toboggan slides at Swallow Cliff which is only two miles from me... (I can walk there in 45 minutes through the forest preserve trails across from my house...)
 
I put a roast in the oven with spuds, carrots, onions and mushrooms.
