Ahem, I do live in the TOP producing peanut state in the country. It was an effort to support the local economy before ever precious snowflake on the planet had a peanut allergy. /soapbox

How are you bleeding them, old style two person or a "One man Bleeder"? Which cylinder front/back left/right?

Pfft. Nothing works. I've even tried telling her that with all the vitamins and minerals in it, she could save a lot of money by not buying supplements anymore.

No dice.

Loved that game. Dodgeball/bombardment was better, but kickball was a great schoolyard game.

Two person, I've got more tools than the average girl my age but I'm not actually in the repairing business, so I make do where I can...

It's my passenger side rear.

I like dodgeball better when it's "trench," so the "out" kids are behind you ready to nail you in the back. Less sitting on the sidelines that way

I know that Labor Day doesn't always fall on September 5th, but since it did this year, here's some stuff that happened on that day in history: Londoners desperately attempt to halt fire in 1666, the first session of Continental Congress convenes in 1774, outlaw Jesse James is born in Missouri in 1847, the US foreign minister threatens the British over ships in 1863, Crazy Horse is killed in 1877, an assassination attempt on President Ford is thwarted in 1975, and Katie Couric debuts as the first female news anchor on a national network in 2005.
