    My only advice is be sure you do not let the reservoir drain below the min mark. Easy to do with a vacuum bleeder.

    Speed Bleeders are the best for 1 person brake jobs. Dont have them on the tacoma since its too new to need the brakes done, but have em on all four corners of my Datsun and on the clutch slave. They have a one way stopper valve in them so you just set up your catch can and hose, open the bleeder, pump away on the pedal and then go back and lock em up. Simple as that. Great for anybody who does alot of brake work.

    Just need to figure out which bleeder size you need.

    I did mine about two years ago. I pushed the pistons back to install new pads. Didn't need to bleed...

    I can confirm this.
    Everything in moderation. If you pump a ton of chemicalized water into the soil, of course you're going to have problems. But conversly if you only use drinking water for irrigation you'll deplete freshwater sources for human consumption.

    But at this point all water that has been appropriately designated and used for municipal use should be recycled to the best of its ability within reason. ALL water is recycled... that why we call it the water cycle. This is one of the reasons California is in the works to approve and create drinking water and treatment standards for the use of direct potable reuse water.

    On another note, I hope none of you buy bottled water...
    tsk tsk! here's a fun fact: bottled water is not regulated. 25% of bottled water does not meet current United States drinking water standards. If you don't like the taste of your tap, I suggest a nice britta filter.

    Im going to stop now, I could literally go on for days, but if anyone has questions about water resources, treatment processes, or natural and environmental processes let me know... it's what I do.

    Anyone with the inside scoop on Highway 50 opening back up?

    Was going to head up thursday but might have to change it to Saturday, if Saturday that's going to be a nightmare with 50 closed.

    You guys have any suggestions on camp stoves and lanterns. After getting stuck at home and the power turning off I realized with an all electric house, I pretty much only had my grill to heat anything up. Need to pick one up anyways for camping, but with the next store coming up I'd rather not risk it.
