I just had to drop over $1K on a vet bill for one of my cats... so... just a cheap Autozone pad slap for today, before the rotors get truly damaged... maybe an upgrade next time with some proper planning

 

Always good to plan your expenses!

 

Two years ago I installed an SS rear beam in 'SISU'.
Today I get to replace the drivers side caliper for the second time.
I know how, just don't want to, so while I'm there I will also replace the e-brake cables.

Ah, but where will you get the cables?

 

If I remember, he has them, or order a set for 2008 thru 2010 SS . That’s what I do front my front Non Brembo front rotors .

Today, I tackled the noisy water pump, thankfully it wasn’t a bad bearing, but the tensioner for the balance shaft chain was ratcheted out , I reset it , and the noise is gone! Yay! No money spent to fix it!

 

Oldblue is correct.
I ordered them from RockAuto about 6 months ago.
AND then it turns out the cables weren't the problem.
Anyway, all fixed now

 

Thanks, Insurance is only $46. more per 6 months, was told because of the improved safety features. Hope they didn't make a mistake...

Thanks, it is a sweet machine..It's Ingot Silver metallic w/ full Black leather inside.. Will use same oil as I use in my Panel, so that will be a plus. Got some reading to do. Lots of new fangled things to learn about.

Sorry to hear of your cat, hope it's getting better. Our cats are family here.

 

Today , a drive out for provisions ( Costco) and we will stop for a coffee.
Heathen , how is your kitty doing?
sleeper, sounds like a nice Lincoln, got any photos of that colour?

 

he's one of my ex-colony cats from work, he's got a history of urinary blockages, and is on RX food... he was still peeing, but I could tell a difference in his habits and eating so I took him in

they had to cath him again which means a couple days overnight, hence the $$ bill

I picked him up on Sat, he's still worrying me as he hasn't wanted to eat, but he finally ate about half his bowl last night, so hopefully starting to feel better

 

He’ll come ‘round, just pee’d off you took him to the vet! He has to punish you now for doing that, you know.

We just got back from shopping, had a good trip, the BlackSwan is running beautifully again!
And now to prep our concrete driveway for top coat clear spray to ward off the evils of oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid and road salt this winter. That will be sprayed on tomorrow.
