Today was a fine day, we finished up a lot of the yard work for the spring today. Then a friend showed up, we had lunch, hung out, I showed him how to sharpen a knife, and then he showed me how to replace disk breaks. DeNae's van now stops with alacrity. the passenger side front break was in TERRIBLE shape on the inside, the pad was worn down to the rivete, the inside was 70% gone. The Driver's side was better about 20% life left on both the inside and outside. The rear breaks are drum breaks and so we didn't attempt them. DeNae will drag them in to somewhere to have them done.
