The thing with kids is, when they get sick, they'll give it to you no less than 3 times worse!

 

Nope. My buddy that went to Phoenix with me was hanging with his grandkids and was sick as a dog for two days. He couldn't keep anything in or down

 

For what it is worth I have the ironman setup and I am a big fan. I can't compare to anything other than the OEM and it is far better for loading, handling and ride quality. It was less than a grand for the whole setup front and rear, I want to say about 850-900

 

Yeah this is not fun!

 

He is back on his feet and working today. Feel better.

 

Sleep , NyQuil , lots of water.

 

Thanks Billy

Sleep: check
Tried some Pepto.... Apparently it can expire! Body says
Taking sips of water and some regular ginger ale. It was somewhat soothing.

Going between and Who did this to me?!

 

Goldeneye ftw

 

First Bond movie I saw in the theaters. It kind of made an impression...

 

Got some unexpired Pepto. Don't want to talk too soon, but I feel a little better

 

I have some expired milk that may help your stomach

 

Is it Hood milk. That stuff used to expire a few days before it's sell-by date.

 

Ooh, yeah! Mix it with vinegar before you drink it, too!

 

That is all

 

If you're puking, once you can keep stuff down, drink something like V8. It's gross but it has a lot of vitimins and minerals so it helps you get back on your feet quicker.

 

yeah, and salt!

 

Anyone ever flared brake lines before? I may pick up a flaring tool and hardware just incase when I attempt to do my brake lines this weekend. Is it difficult, and is it something I could do with the hardline still attached to the frame?

 

Depends on what you're using for line. That coated steel shit's a pain in the ass, but the copper/nickel is a lot easier because it's softer.
I have a flaring tool kicking around somewhere you can borrow, if you want. It's just a basic unit, but it works and has all the fittings for doing a double flare.
It's essentially this, but it has a tubing cutter included.

 

Interesting. I'm hoping to not need one, I've been doing the fittings in pb blaster but t you never know. I'll probably just pick one up from AutoZone and return it if I don't need it.

 

Lots of parts stores have a 'tool rental' program, where you essentially buy the tool, use it, and then return it undamaged for a full refund. When I worked at VIP that was how theirs worked. They're O'Reilly Auto Parts now, and I'm not sure if they have the same program or not.
