May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

Wish I read this a coupla hours ago. When in doubt, slip an open-end wrench over the line. That'll confirm the diameter.

Due to a line blowout while stopping, I _just_ came inside from doing the rear 10'8" line (from the crossmember to the rear). After replacement I bled the system and built up the pressure. The old front piece of the same line went (that I didn't replace) right then and there! I thought about doing it all at the time while I was under there removing the bad piece yesterday... guess I should've.

I'll be picking up the rest of that line tomorrow, and enough 3/16 to do the front while I'm at it :^)
