levers and knees

[wingski]

Wow, a simple picture of the underside of my model A, and at least a couple of comments concerning my upside-down rear brake levers have started what seems to be a monster job.

When I finally realized that someone had put the wrong side backing plate on the wrong side of the rear axle, I just stripped everything off that axle. I’m really good at taking things apart and figured that it was best to start all over from scratch.

What a complicated mess. I’m finding out crap that I never wanted to find out, and my knees are screaming at me to stay off of them. They sure didn’t say Happy New Year to me this morning. Even with elastic knee braces, they don’t like cement floors at all and don’t want to work well as a result. They show their dismay by snapping and popping a bunch, and once in a while just decide not to support anything above them.

My god, it’s 2018 and I’m still here bitching about my knees. Mom and Dad would have said, “Shut up, some people don’t even have knees.” That’s a pretty disturbing thing to hear when you are too young to know what they’re talking about.

I hope you are all around throughout 2018 so you can bitch about your knees as well.
