Truck Repair

Saturday morning Linda fixed us breakfast, then we went outside and tried to determine what had happened to Imon's truck. I was sent to town to buy a can of brake fluid and when I returned we filled the brake reservoir. Imon and Brent laid under the truck and I pumped the brake pedal until fluid began squirting out of the rear brake line. The line had rusted where a clip held it in place on the rear end. Luckily, it was a line from the distribution block to the right rear brake cylinder. Imon and Brent removed the line and we went to NAPA and purchased another line. We returned and Imon installed the new line. We filled the reservoir again and pumped the pedal until the fluid had filled the new line. Then Imon bled the brake line at the wheel cylinder fitting and we were done. I started the 56 Chevy and told Brent to follow me to town to change the title from an IN title to a KY title. The car ran good and I pulled into the filling station for gas, put in about 1/2 of a tank and started to leave. The brakes were locked up and the car wouldn't move. We messed with it, then I went in the pickup and bought a brake adjustment tool, and we loosened the brakes with it. Brent had called Imon and he came in and helped. Finally the car would roll, so I drove to he courthouse, but the sheriff wasn't there to examine the VIN and authorize the license branch to issue a KY title. A little more trouble and I drove the car back to the farm. It made it back, but that was it. We pulled the car up the hill with the Mule and put it in the house's garage. We dinked with it a little, then had lunch and went riding on 4 wheelers and in the Mule with Daisy running along. Linda and I took Linda K to the mum patch and dug some mums for her to take to their house in IN. Later in the evening, after supper and dark had set in, the guys worked on the car some more, but we were unable to find the problem. About 8 PM, we called it a night and went in and relaxed. Linda K and Imon, Pauline and Brent, Stacey and Julie, and Linda and I spent the rest of the evening chatting and watching TV.
Sunday morning Linda fixed breakfast and then we went outside. Linda and Linda K stayed inside with Julie and Pauline. Brent, Imon and I went and test drove his pickup, loaded the mums in it and checked the trailer. We had loaded the old Ford 600 tractor that Imon had bought about a year ago. I also let him have a old junk bush hog that he thinks he can weld together enough to use. Linda and Linda K came outside and I dug some flowers for them to take with them to IN and they loaded the rest of their stuff and left a little after 1 PM. Brent, Pauling, Linda and I, took Julie to the hay shed and laid down some hay bales, set pumpkins on them and plopped Julie in the middle. I took a bunch of pictures while Pauline kept Julie's attention.

Julie is 4 months old and doing good. Imon called and said Linda K and he made it home slightly after 8 PM without any troubles.
