I hate it when those little bits and pieces bounce through a wormhole into another dimension.

If you find it, please see if my wife's car keys are there as well. They dropped into a parallel universe a few years ago.

If I look real hard, maybe I can find my missing hair.

Made a new key today and attempted to fit the coil. Alas, it's a dead parrot, er, coil.

I hope that means you can actually get some wrench time. It rarely works out like that for me.

Mrs. C's Audi developed a mushy brake pedal and I spent the morning sorting it out. Found out last weekend that you can't bleed the brakes without pulling the wheels. So, I bit the bullet and bought myself a pressure bleeder. Good investment. I was most pleased that I was able to loosen the bleeders that haven't been touched in fourteen years. No drama. Also, only a tiny bit of air in the system. So, looks like it's time for a new MC. I did get to try out the new Ingersoll-Rand impact I got for Christmas. Woo hoo. Tires will no longer laugh at me. They will fear me. As I turn 60 in a few weeks, I think it's time for a pneumatic powered jack, too.

I think a pneumatic jack is an excellent idea.

Not a pneumatic jack but it will fit under the Audi. And it was free with hotel points.

Free is the best price.

Make sure you keep a good "Air Tool Oil" around for that nice IR impact
(long story short) My dad had a bunch of 20+ year old (top of the line/name brand) air tools that barely worked... he thought it was his 10 year old air compressor and was about to go out and spend a few grand on a new air compressor and all the upgraded wiring/fuse box in the garage for it... add some air tool oil to them and all was well at the cost of 50 or so cents Long(er) story... Well I pull out a bottle of "Air Tool Oil/Lube" (B'laster brand <- link to their product/website) and ended up reviving them all by the end of lunch time... I just pulled the trigger and filled the tool with a good amount of oil (probably a *tablespoon or more worth in each tool) and put them down so they "stood up" at a slight angle to not leak any oil out or drain in any way and help fill all the nooks and crannies to clean/lube the parts. About 20 or so minutes later after we had lunch, we went back and attached the tools to the air compressor to clean the gunk/oil out (be prepared for a mist of oil ) Wish I got a pic of my dads face when he heard/seen the revived tools in action. His impact hammer that wouldn't remove a 15 ft lb torqued bolt was now zipping off 150+ ft lb axle nuts almost the second after you pulled the trigger Moral of this story 'children'... Spend the $4+ on a bottle of Air Tool Oil to clean/Lube your air tools... you only use a drop or so before and after use and it will save you big $ in the long run *You won't need to use as much oil as I used, if you are just maintaining the tools, just a drop or 3 of air tool oil will do. Revival of tools is a different story

^^^Good point.
23 years in the pneumatics industry during my first working life, so it's a habit in the garage at Chez Fromage. Still, when an air tool is pushing 50 years old(most of mine), it's probably about time to promote it to paperweight.

MC for the Audi arrived late last week, still waiting on the jack. And nicer weather.
The MC swapout looks to be a piece o' cake. Two lines, two nuts, and it's off. One screw and off comes the reservoir. The pressure bleeder will make the install that much easier.

Back home and the jack is here.
So, it's here and I'm too tired to do anything about it, though. And it is supposed to rain tomorrow.
