Been Off The Grid
« on: July 06, 2014, 12:27:59 AM »
What's goin on, OC brothers n sisters?

I haven't been around much lately. The past few months have been rough (no, I won't go into detail). As the title states, I needed to get off the grid for a while; even deleted everything having to do with social media. I definitely regret missing the picnic last month. However, things are starting to get back to normal for me and I'd like to get back involved. I was around a lot a couple months back and I certainly miss those days. Lots of good times.

Anything coming up in the Detroit area anytime soon? Get at me if you remember me. Definitely want to get back to it. However, the standard social media efforts will be out, at least for the time being.

I finally decided to see if there was something wrong with my brakes because I was having an issue with my truck.  10,200 miles and SOMEHOW the pads were worn down to the metal, and destroyed the rotors.  When I first got the truck the brakes were squealing pretty bad so I took it back to the dealer and they "put new brakes on".  Well I barely drove it after that and they must have put on used parts because as I said, the pads were worn down to the metal and ruined the rotors even.  Rears are fine and look brand new but the fronts, totally ruined.  Being that the truck sat for so long it is not under warranty anymore so I just had to spend $200 on new rotors and pads.  But I got some good stuff, even have ceramic pads :) 

After putting them on I gave the brake a few pumps to get the lines charged back up AND ONE OF THE LINES BLEW!!  So now I have to buy new lines and install them.  /angry with GMC

Your friends  were quite concerned. We all have missed you. Glad that you are back. And, that is working out for an amicable conclusion.

Your position with the MOC SE Regional Posse is intact and we await your participation.

Carry on!
