Drove halfway down the pike and my left rear brake either seized or the parking brake failed. I messed with the parking brake adjuster and heard a clang. Worked ok the rest of the way but I will take it in tomorrow. Burned my finger real bad on the disc.

Edit: can't feel my finger. Anyways haha shop ended up changing rear rotors and pads. At my cost of course.

My electrical demons were getting a little soft in the middle... so I exorcised them. :D Found the culprit in the driver's front marker light socket - it was bad again, after replacing it a couple years ago. We'll see how long this one lasts.

In the middle of a couple of coats of POR15 on the rails. One down, one to go... back out in about 45 minutes.

Painted the rock rails on the 06 Renny,with rubberized rockguard.
They where really starting to flake and bubble.
And had all 5 tires rebalanced on the 07 Sport,they where all out.This also seemed cure the mystery rumble at about 45kph.

Drove it all over...yesterday, got the marriage license. Today, Home Depot for outside faucet parts (red-headed stepchild turned it forcefully the wrong way, despite being told the right way) and broke the handle and its screw. At which time we discovered there was no bloody cut-off valve...so we installed a ball valve and a new easy-turn faucet.

Drove it to one of the many LAPS and bought a new battery for the used Cub Cadet riding mower the bf's cousin dropped off for us this morning. We'd welded up the deck on it a couple years ago. He just got himself a zero-turn Gravely and doesn't need it for edging any more.

Something I should consider doing, throwing POR15 on the rails and or doing Line-X on the underbody.
