Tool Whore Episode ...........

I haven't been a big proponent of pressure bleeders. I could never get the rock hard pedal that I like. So I always did it old school, two person bleeding. But for the first time in my my life I was flushing and refilling a brake system and I couldn't get it to pressurize. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I've never bench bleed master cylinders. Install, fill and bleed. Never had an issue. Probably master cylinder 15 installs ............... 20-30 system flushes.

So I drug out my 20+ year old Motive. Had to replace hose first. Filled the brake fluid reservoir. Started the empty 10# system test. Pumped it up, let it sit. Nothing. Then finally I see a stream hit the floor. We couldn't get it to leak by pumping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
I wasn't going to let this 2000# hunk of steel beat me........ there's always an answer.

Order up a few new brake lines and we'll be back in business. Call to Eric tomorrow.

Update on Super In Laws health. He's been in for a few additional tests in the past couple months. The tests found an enlarging aneurysm on his aorta. To close to his kidney for a stint. So he'll be having old fashioned open heart surgery next month. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

His grand kids are freaking out ....................
He's taking it in stride. They didn't give him any restrictions prior to the surgery.

I'll keep you guys updated ..........................

Today's the day. Heading to the hospital in a little bit. Super In Laws (Jack) open heart surgery starts at 9am. 3 to 5 hours. Going in below the sternum, so no power tools.

Just went into ICU. Surgeon said the repair was much more complex
than anticipated. Significant blood loss. Biggest concern was kidney startup, they fired up just fine.

Doctor said .....
He's one healthy guy.

They had a couple blood clots caused by the surgery to tidy up.
Next concern is more blood clots as he's recovering.

1st. Hurdle is been jumped.

Cary - Thanks for keeping us up to date. We're all rooting for Jack's speedy recovery.

With all the strength he's brought to his surgery, once he's back in the shop, we're gonna have to update his name to Super(Man) In-Law!

I know we can count on you to pass on our "Get Well Soon" wishes to Jack. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

That was tough. He's still asleep, but went into ICU to see him.
Tough seeing him with all the tubing, but he looks good.

Been a long day, but stickiing around till he wakes up.
