Immensely satisfied with myself over the triumph that was replacing rear drum brakes on my truck yesterday, I decided to repeat the magic by swapping a lower control arm and changing brakes and oil on my Cougar. The success of all three allowed me to title the weekend "kickass car maintenance weekend" and leaves only a fuel filter change for a rainy day. Lisa was, of course, beside herself with joy after hearing of all the mechanical accomplishments I had made and brought the cat to share in the celebration, who promptly pissed all over her in excitement. Robbie was especially excited after seeing the cat piss, but more interested in burning the old control arm and brake pads in his newly created metal vaporizing fire. After Lisa finished calling all her friends and bragging about what an awesome mechanic I am we burned some oil and called it a night.
