Default Today...

I finally got to rebuilding the rear calipers...it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The O-ring kit I got from Corvette Central was easy to do.

Somewhere, my father is looking down smiling or laughing his rear off at what I just did.

Somewhere else (a few hundred miles away at her father's with our kids) is my wife, oblivious to the fact I just rebuilt brake calipers on the kitchen table.

Tomorrow is bleeding the system. I'm quickly checking things off the "I've never done that before" list.

One of the nice things about having an infant is that the boxes the diapers come in work wonderfully when doing such work.
