My wife and I went to the mountain house on skyline. We had duck confit egg rolls, octopus and shrimp cerviche, and elk burger. Super good.

My wife hosted a birthday brunch for our older son-in-law. She served crab-filled eggs Benedict. We had a lot of egg whites left over so now she's making a lemon meringue pie.

After a quick drive and a couple pulls, you can verify for yourself that this adjustment method is sound for the 86. If you lift up the rear of the car and spin the wheels, the brake shoes will no longer be scrubbing the drums yet you will need at most 3 clicks to secure the vehicle on a moderate hill.

Are you going to be in town sometime in the next two weeks to help me do this?

I wish I could be.

Chances are the cable is fine. Just do the adjustment at the wheels.

We had hot dogs. Ordinary everyday hot dogs.

Our daughter just sent this picture of our next to youngest granddaughter at the renaissance fair, wearing the uniform that her ma-ma got her....

Wait a minute - those strange men are standing awfully close to her -

I hear that - mrs humfrz had canned tuna on crackers and I had a breakfast sandwich from Jack-in-the box.

All good. Either have to find someone who can help or go to a shop. No tools or stands.
