Subject:      '56 update fun

I just wanted to tell everyone about how much fun I just had lubing up the front end of my bus!

I bought one of those mini grease guns, and crawled under the bus and started chipping the old dried up grease and dirt and putting in new stuff.

I always get a warm fuzzy when I clean up something like this!

The grease gun and 3 tubes of grease was $18.00 plus change. I feel its paid for itself already! I'm gonna drive the bus around a bit and then re-grease it tomorrow.

I am also having a strange problem. I am getting a squeaky out of the front right wheel. It squeeks witht he car in the air and me turning the wheel. It appears to be the brake shoes rubbing on the drum, but instead of the scruff-scruff that would normally may, its squeeking! It has new wheel bearings and brakes, so I don't think there is some sort of failure, just an annoyance that I don't know if its serious or not though.

Also, whoever it was that emailed my about offering to help with wheel clips, can ya write me again? I hosed my mail file...
