I'll bring the hamburgers & buns . . . just let me know how many people to feed. Of course, with Chris potentially attending this means that I must double the order (you do recall his ability to eat a 1-pound hmaburger!!!)

Rob/Sean, I just wanted to thank you gentlemen publicly for the invaluable aid and assistance in replacing shocks/struts/rotors/pads on my Toyota yesterday.

It felt like a new car on the drive home last night. Again, my thanks.

No problem at all. It sure beat sitting at home watching paint dry.

I still think it would have been faster for us to cut a hole in the bed of the truck to get to the shock bolts.

Note: The next time someone wants shocks/struts replaced on their daily driver, that person will need to bring with them a plasma cutter.
