Stop in for a cup of coffee

Morning!
Well, it was earlier today, but that’s in the past.
Turned out to be a hot and humid day. Spent all day, cleaning and servicing my riding mower. I went for plugs, air and gas filters and was chatting with the parts guy. He said there is a shortage of riding mowers. I decided to ask way more than i wanted, ad was up for 10 minutes and someone is on their way.
 
I swear, I feel like a little kid at Christmas time. Everywhere I look on this car, I'm pleasantly surprised.. Got a late start today since I was at Church earlier. Got the wheel cylinders rebuilt using the original castings with the Mopar numbers on them. They honed out very nicely .I'm Using dot5 fluid. Went ahead and blasted some of the other hardware and the shoes. Any of the parts that are Mopar have Mopar stamped on them or part numbers on them. Even the shoes have the pentastar. I'm probably just going to spray the springs with parts cleaner and use them as is. Here's a before and after pic.

Funny you've started talking rockets.. I've had 5 rockets from when the kids were younger. I broke them out about 3 weeks ago. Bought some B4-4 engines to test them out. Shot a few and the wife went nuts. She'd never seen them. I still have a couple more to shoot. An SR-71 and F-15. The F-15 has never been shot, just sitting in box for years.. Rockets are pretty damn fun. Bought a kit with launch pad for one of neighbor kids. Hope he gets into it..
 
It always takes the first one to figure out how to do it right. The second one looks better.

Funeral for my oldest brother’s wife today. During service he felt flush and sat down. Didn’t take long they had him on the floor and called an ambulance. My daughter in law is a nurse and didn’t find a pulse right away, did a few chest pumps and he started to come around. Think it was stress and low sugar. O-K now so far

Thank God for a nurse around. Was it Kim?
