Trying to keep Thor and Beast running!
Beast has developed a problem with the hydrobooster being the main booster piston; the seal failed, and even brake pedal usage was leaking hydraulic fluid from the hydrobooster. There is a bleed hole on the bottom of the unit. This was just replaced, as the article was created in the 2nd Gen brake and axle category. That particular day, I was wearing my black hair and basic black makeup.
Then on Thor, it was a matter of replacing the battery terminals. Using the really basic tools I do have after the landslide its rather challenging to do some jobs because you just don't have the right tool and needs to be done. All the factory lead terminals were cut off with a dull hacksaw. Then trimmed back to find copper wire. Clean any corrosion off the wire before crushing copper lugs to the wire. Improved the starting and power stability for this truck since the passenger cable was held on with a C-clamp. That day, I was enjoying my red hair and flame colored eyes.
Some of you wonder why still. The makeup work of Titanium becomes a line in the sand for me for protection for myself. Knowing my ostomy bag is there, I must keep my bag area and my hands clean. My dress code limits me from rolling in the mud or dirt to do work. Remember, the landslide took my shop and the dry space I had. The last 2 days here have been raining so no work was done last two days because of zero dry space to work. I'm going to continue to produce as many articles as I can with my limitations. You have to remember my right kidney is only 17% remaining and my left is 82% remaining.
