We were up early this morning and out of our home for the day while the guys worked on it. The first thing they did was pull it inside a bay. Smart move, since the weather around here is very chancy just now. They pulled all the brakes to inspect them. Unfortunately our misgivings proved correct. Ken U. reported that the brakes on the same two rear passenger side wheels were "toast." The upshot of this situation is that we are spending the night in a new "campsite"--inside the service bay.
The brakes are still dismantled but will be reassembled tomorrow, with new parts as needed. The decision has been made, in consultation with Tucon, to replace the ABS brake actuator. They are also planning to do a complete visual inspection of the brake lines to determine if they might possibly be damaged.
Meanwhile, we've moved our truck and Emersons' truck into the service bay too, at Cole's suggestion. The idea was to protect them from possible hail damage. The tornado watch has ended, so we think we've dodged the bullet again. However, the NWS is warning that all kinds of severe weather are still possible over the next few days. Note to self: let's try to avoid Kansas in May and June.
Bob and Judy and Ken and I watched local TV in the customer lounge for a while to find out more about the severe weather. We saw dramatic tornado photos and radar displays. The photos were being picked up from Facebook and rebroadcast, and the radar was the same that we could see on our phones, so we gave up an went for a walk. We did stay on the grounds, just in case we needed to make a run for it.
I got a cute haircut today at Great Clips. They have opened a new location in Junction City and were having a $4.99 haircut sale. Fortunately, I got a good cut (unlike our friend Jan who is in hiding for the next two weeks while her latest haircut grows out).
