"I'm a Real Boy!"


Last weekend Lindsay and I decided the strange sounds emanating from the front tires of our one and only family vehicle needed looking into. After finding out that the only problem was the brakes and rotors, and getting a ridiculous estimate from the mechanic we decided that it was worth making an attempt at doing it ourselves. After a a few trips to AutoZone and some elbow grease the brakes were replaced and work like a dream! I'm not the manliest man when it comes to fixing things, but as I drove around our parking lot using the new brakes, I felt like shouting the immortal words of Pinnochio "I'm a REAL Boy!!"

Hey Brian...you were FAMOUS today! We saw you on television when Singler jumped into the crowd! Nice seats!!

Oh, and good handywork. Unfortunately I think we will be much better off hiring the mechanic!

Brian Mills when Stacy told me you changed your brakes by yourself I almost cried laughing because well I don't know but i think it was the comment about you a real boy. That is an impressive thing and now that you know how to do that I'll save my brakes for you so you can teach me how to do it. alrighty my friend Hailey is a cutie head your Lindsey is about to have that baby isn't she? ok well great job. cya
