It is. I can't wait to see how well it works.

A lot of guys are getting slipper clutch material, and putting that on their brake shoes. There used to be a composite brake disk on the market that was a drop in replacement, and that was a common fix. But those aren't available anymore. One guy on the forums went so far as to get a different brand disk, and modify it to fit. I've also seen a suggestion of greasing the brakes.

Somehow, greasing the brakes sounds like a bad idea to me.

They're for steering, not for stopping. It's okay.

Those new brake shoes work great! Still a little inconsistent, but part of that is probably me running it through what little water is still in the yard. (repeatedly) So much more controllable, now. B)

Not so much mud, as wet leaves and grass. Which I now get to dig out of all of these wheels.

But the fun was likely worth it, right, Grey?

Oh WHAT THE F%$%$#!!?? The hose split on my airbrush compressor! *explodes in a cloud of profanity*

Electrical tape kinda sorta worked, until I turned up the pressure to clean out the airbrush. That compressor has trouble pushing 40psi.

Got it fixed, now. Cut the end off, and shoved the hose back on the fitting. I cinched a small zip tie down on it, as tight as I could get it. Hopefully, that'll help keep it from splitting again. Hopefully....

What are you doing that needs 40psi?

That's the pressure I use when I clean out the airbrush. It's closer to 35, continuous. I paint around 20psi.

Braided hose acquired. Nothing was keeping that plastic tube from splitting.

Makes sense. The hose will likely hold up better in the long run

I should hope so, for as much as it cost. It's also the same brand as my airbrush, so no need for any adapters.

Pardon me for the "UGH, MEN!" moment, but...

My dad has an F150 pick up, and it's a heap, but it ran pretty good. Until something started acting up. He'd turn the key and "Bunk", engine didn't start. You'd think after oh maybe the third time this happens he'd maybe make an appointment to have it looked at?

NOPE!

He just started parking it so it could get a rolling start.

And now today even that didn't work. So yeah, why do men have to wait until something is completely fracked before getting it fixed properly?

Can't tell you, mostly because I'm not one of those kind of men.

He did manage to get it working eventually, though I'm not sure what he did.
