Run hard, Put away wet.
Fred's Blazer has brake problems. The disk brake rotors developed rusty spots because with rising gas prices we have left it parked most of the summer. Fred took it to the dealer but because the brakes are 'consumables' the repair was not covered by the warranty. Fred fixed it himself.
Brakes fixed at dealer............. $500.
Brake parts from Autozone........ $150.
Friend with lathe willing to turn rotors........priceless

In other news:
We are almost done getting ready for winter. The furnace has been turned on the last couple of weeks. The lawn and outdoors is just about ready for the snow. Fred has spent a couple of nights working on his bathroom in the basement, though he has not made much progress.
