Mr and Mrs Berber

We had a great time on Memorial Day. Had family and friends over at my house, and plenty to drink and eat. Then we went out to the bayou behind my neighborhood to ride our ATVs. Well after all that fun, the day after Memorial Day I was not feeling to good. Stomach was hurting and since I shaved my head and I was outside all day, I got a sunburn on my head. I got some funny pics of me shaving my head that I will post later.

Something else I wanted to share with you. I knew I needed a brake job on my truck. So I was calling around a few local brake shops and it was just so expensive. So I called the Auto Zone near I 10 and Fry Rd. The total was less than half of what the other guys wanted , so i decided to do it myself. I went and bought the rotors and brake pads for the front. I didnt think much about it, but when she brought out the boxes for the rotors they were beat up and looked used. I just thought maybe they reuse the boxes for the rotors. This was my first time changing out rotors. I had never seen new rotors before. They ran fine for a few days after i changed them out but then the grinding began. I took them off and put them back on thinking I had missed something, but it was the same. Then I took it to Brake Check on Grand parkway and Kingsland. They were so nice and the prices were lower than other brake shops. Plus you get lifetime warranty on most of the items. They checked my brakes and said it was the bearings in the rotor to take them back since I had a warranty. They were very courteous and did not charge me to check it. Sure enough I come to find out I was sold USED rotors. This wasted a lot of my time and gave me several headaches. Although this was a big headache and probably over looked by Auto Zone, I learned very much from this experience.
