    Well, after several weeks interrupt, I'm back. Still gotta timeshare. I have a tree stump to grind out, a deck that needs staining, etc... BUT: I'm trying to make sure I devote some time to the old girl each week. I'm getting REALLY close to roadworthy.

    When I left off, the brake bleeding gremlins were bothering me. On resumption of my efforts, I tried a different approach and got the @$%$% things to bleed properly.

    I tried the speed bleeders. They suck (literally). Sucked air back into the caliper. Waste of money. Worse yet, the one I got for the rear wouldn't let ANYTHING pass through it. Might as well have been a solid bolt. I wound up using one of the old cruddy buggered up ones.

    Anyway, I now have some "WOAH!" to go along with the "Gettyup" I hope to experience soon.

    My "ToDo" list is getting nice & short.

    I used speed bleeders once... lightly closed the sucker on a caliper I just bled and *SNAP*!! Said bye to that caliper and to speedbleeders. Now have a cheap mityvac from Harbor Freight
