Sharpen the Saw

Confusion continued today so I spent mucho time researching, measuring and the "on again, off again" for visualization made up most of the day.  Some more internal pieces got fresh coat of paint and I installed the brake assy.   The break booster and master cylinder that I needed was removed the other day from the donor truck and I spent some time mulling over the fact that the proportioning valve I got at the bone yard was questionable.  The master cylinder was something that I wouldn't really know until I tried it, not exactly what you would call "peace of mind" in the Big City.  TaDa!  In comes Performance Online.  This solves it all and I am so jazzed to have ordered this.  Brakes are done! (in my mind)

The next brain clutter that I was having a mental shut down with was the power steering gear.  The box was purchased back in October at the bone yard and it too had an unknown condition.  I knew what I wanted to do but my tightness was having a hard time with $300.  So I bit the bullet and ordered from Red-Head Steering Gears.

Now my mind is at ease and the dollars just saved me countless hours of work.  Don't forget to sharpen the saw and stop and think about $ vs. time.  You will be surprised at the solutions you find.
