Drive to Seattle

Today was one of those blessings in disguise. I was able to take the truck to Seattle, pick up 2,000 Chinese Stranger books (printed in Taiwan) and then spend the weekend w/ friends in the area.

The trip was fine. I noticed my truck pulling to the right a little, but then that went away. After stopping and filling up w/ my books, it started pulling more yet. I didn't catch on to what was happening too quickly, until my brakes would pull to the left when I hit them. (Cross-winds will cause a vehicle to act like it's out of alignment, low tire, etc.) Next stoplight I smelled bunt brakes, and knew my caliper was sticking. Wasn't far to go, so made it to Dan & Joan's and was able to get rebuilt calipers and stick those on before heading up to Mt. Vernon to see Gene & Rose.

Oh, and thanks, Dan, for the use of the breaker bar. Sure made life a lot easier!
