Literally for the past 2 weekends in a row: on Thursday it said 0% chance of rain over the weekend so I wash my car, then it rained the next night. I'm NOT washing my car today.

Come on down bro-ham. Just gotta bring us a bottle for our wedding . It's a stock the bar party.

Yeah it's not gonna be fun being up that early but someone's gotta feed the masses! I'm smokin em for the first 4-5, takes a lot of time but soooo much tastier.

Hopefully I can fit in a car wash. Before last weekend I hadn't washed the TL in like a month, but before that it was weekly. I needs my fix!!

@ justn's avi

Today has been a productive one. I had access to a lift and some good tools so basically did the A12 service along with a brake fluid flush.

I also went from this....


to this...



I got in on that Brakemotive group buy and installed these at all 4 corners along with ceramic pads. Once I clean up the car, I'll take a few more pics and load them up here.

My Saturday rambling: I had an epic fail on my project today. Task: Remove anode rod from home water heater. Water heater is 13 yrs old and I obviously let it go too long. I've drained water out a few times over the years, but forgot about the anode rod. Lesson: Remove anode rod from new water heater and apply plumber's anti-seize to the threads. Today, I tried my 1/2" breaker bar. No good. Tried a 700 ft lb air impact wrench. No good. Thinking I-got-what-I-got now. Will just let her run till she dies (however long that takes), and take proper care of the next water heater. Live and (hopefully) learn....

I was looking at houses this morning with the wifey and I'm pretty sure one of them was Justin's house.... This mother F'r had boat models and crabs all over his house. I immediately lol'd and then tried to explain why I was laughing, but no one got it. Haha. Went to take a pic but realized I didn't have my phone either, dumb I know.


The new rotors look nice franchise.

I thought it was lunar so it was at night? Eh I'm gonna step out side in a bit to see if I can see the ring.

Got all my pork butt cooked. I made about 55lbs of meat which is nuts but it was delicious. Hope everyone's weekend was good as well.

ehow.com says 10-20 years, which sounds about right. Do a little preventative maintenance and they will last closer to the 20-year point. A coworker's water heater died after just 10 years. He never drained it or checked the anode rod. Like cars, a little preventative maintenance can go a long way towards lengthening a water heater's life.
