Baby's got new "shoes".....Thanks Mike!

Mr. Mike Marshall, aka hubcapsc, came over today and guided me through replacing the seals in the rear caliper after using a compressor to push the pistons out....we cleaned and shined everything back up, put the new pads in, bolted it all back together, and then added fresh fluid back as we bled air back out of the system.....he also helped me replace the fluid in the clutch system....I should be good to go for a few more miles now.....all the payment he would take was buying him lunch at his favorite Taco joint here in town.....

Mike and Smokin Joe and Lucky 13 and a couple of other good friends have always been willing to help me out with maintenance and I sure do APPRECIATE it guys!!..... ......they always have your back when the chips are down.... ....I just hope I can return the favors one day

I went to Steamer's house the best way I've ever gone... I made it home the same way in an hour
and fifteen minutes... there was a UGA game in Athens today, but there was no traffic on
the route I took, and it was an awesome curvy country road. He got everything ready while
I was on the way, here's a view of the Green Dragon from his porch...



I brought over an Interstate caliper with the pistons blown out, just in case. We couldn't blow out the
pistons on Stanley's caliper with his little compressor, so we went over to his in-laws house
to get use of a more studly compressor - that got them out... here it is getting finished up...



I passed an old house, The Berryman House, on the way there, the parking lot was filled with cars,
people eating breakfast. I passed it again on the way home, parking lot was full with people eating
dinner... I had to stop and check it out - I'll be back! They're open every day except Monday...





Did I mention how nice the route between our houses is?
