Changing Brakes...

Well... I think I surprised a few people:)! Let me back up a little bit... When I was married, Kyle's philosophy was that if he helped in the house, I should help with the cars. (Originally it was the yard and the cars but one day I butchered a section of our yard with the weedeater and I was forever banned from yardwork - oh darn!) So, anyway as I was saying, I've done some work on cars - specifically I have helped change a serpentine belt, brakes, oil, and spark plugs. Well, last week at dinner with my Bible study class, a challenge sort-of kind-of got thrown down and you know me - I'm rarely one to back away from a challenge:)! So on Friday this week I showed up to help a friend from my Bible study class change the brakes on his truck. Truly I think he was shocked, but there I was, straight from work with a window of time to help and help I did:)! No, seriously, I really did help! I figured out how to get a bolt loose that we were struggling with! I got my hands dirty, or should I say greasy, and everything!! The best part is that I didn't get my nice white shirt dirty - nice planning on my part to wear a white

shirt to change brakes:)! Anyway - here are a couple of pics from helping Robert change his brakes - thanks Robert - it was fun!!
And... I won the challenge so now Robert has to give up a few moments of the Indy 500 to come to our class social today at the mall:)!!
