Well the right side rear caliper I got from my work for my ZJ rear disc swap decided to be a huge pita, for some reason despite the caliper being new, this damn bleeder screw was in there so incredibly tight that I ended up rounding it having to grind the side of the bolt and took it out with and Irwin extractor set... those sets sure do come in handy. Damn bleeder screw! Now, back to my work in the morning to get new one and I'll finally be done with this.

No, I don't lick fish.
Come to Texas. The only thing they freak out over here is snow/ice. And I mean complete loss of mental faculties. Rain? Yeah, I'll slow down to 85 or so. Ice? Nope
And it's one extreme or the other: 95% of people that don't stay home prepared for the apocalypse go 5mph in snow/ice and many still have wrecks, the other 5% that think they know how to handle it drive 80 to 90% of the posted limit, all of which wreck eventually.
I once drove 120 miles round trip in a freak snowstorm (heavy snow too) for a job interview only to arrive at the office and find out that the people that worked there and likely lived within 5 to 10 miles couldn't be bothered. They got a big earful and instructions on what to do with their job when they called me to reschedule.
Common sense has escaped the masses somewhere along the way.

We live in Centralia WA (1.5 hours south of Seattle) but most of my wife's family lives in FL near Clearwater. It amazes us coming from such a rainy state how people react down there to the rain, and don't get me wrong it's a different kind of rain in the south but still...wtf 
a "smiley" for drooling
I agree Tim... it needs to be a thing.

Removed the door trim and had a "great" time taking off that double sided tape from the body in preparation for plastidip tomorrow. Really weird was that the little piece in the front had a different type of tape at the bottom on driver and passenger side. Now that was a ***** to get off. Good thing it wasn't like that on all three moldings.
