Hey Sweetie,
Got up bright and early and was at Jeff’s just after 8:00, and before long he was tearing down my brakes to find the problem. Turned out to be much more that a brake line leak. Somehow one of the main bolts on the caliper had shook loose and was dragging, and the rotor was paper thin. He got the parts ordered through his buddy at Autozone, but the only store that had the parts we needed was in Hobe Sound, not Jupiter. We went into town and made a quick stop at the Goodwill, his dog Rose had a tumor removed last week and the vet suggested a type of shirt that would provide some compression, and we managed to find two fairly quickly. Then he had a doctor’s appointment, and while he was in there, I called around trying to find a brake line, since Autozone didn’t have one. In fact, I checked everyone around and no one seemed to have one. After the doctor, we ran up to Hobe Sound and picked up the parts, and on our way out of the parking lot, there was an Advanced Auto, so I decided to run in on the off chance they might have one. They didn’t, but according to the computer, the Jupiter store had one! Yet when I had called them earlier, they told me they DIDN’T have one! So we had to drive all the way back into Jupiter to pick up the part, so it was 4:30 before we got back home. It took us until nearly 8:00 to finish the job, hate working in the dark, but at least we finally got it done. Drove back to camp, checked on the horses, chatted with some of my camper friends, then finally got back to the trailer around 9:30, poured a stiff drink, and will be heading to shower and bed shortly! Good night, babe! Love you!
