Remember last week the kids got lanyards and chips as prizes in the reading program? This week they are getting beach balls. A really cool prize for reading books. They are so cute. The ones I saw were smiley faces:
Another one was stars and stripes:
Wonder what's up for next week.
As for the brakes, I had been having trouble with my car's brakes slipping. Even when Joe drove it a few weeks back he noticed it. So when I went to have my oil changed a couple of weeks ago, I had them check the brakes and they found a problem with the front ones. I had to wait to get the money for them. So when I got paid last week I decided to get the brakes fixed today. Brakes are nothing to fool with.
It turns out it was much worse than anyone expected. There was a cracked piston in the caliper on the driver's side. It wouldn't have lasted much longer. In fact it is only by the grace of God that I didn't lose my brakes before this. There was a whole big piece missing! It was also much more expensive than I expected. Three times what I thought it was going to be. The one part they had to replace was $119 itself. I'm going to have to work a lot more overtime to pay for this! But at least it's fixed.
Sorry to hear about your brakes.It
