When I was young, I occasionally drove my mother's car, and whenever it rained, water somehow got into the drums. It was so stressful the couple of times I drove it in the rain that for many years after I would have nightmares about being in a car that wouldn't brake. My mother said she never noticed it, and accused me of running through deep water. In retrospect, she was probably correct. I don't recall having any concern about hitting the deep puddles that tend to build up on the sides of the road. I would say that teenage Zed wasn't too bright, but that's probably apparent to everyone since I'm still not too bright.

I think we were all pretty stupid at that age. I certainly did some dumb things and it's amazing I came out unscathed. My buddy used to take us in his 65 Mustang and just FLY down the highway and more than once, he couldn't actually slow down because the drums just wouldn't do the work.

Also, there's a adjusting hole on the back of the drums where you can stick a screwdriver in to loosen and tighten. Mine were previously just open, so yeah, water could get in. But my new hardware came with little rubber stoppers to jam in there to stop crap from getting in.

Maybe they were missing from your Mom's car as they were on mine.

It's been proven to me once and for all that there is a higher purpose to the universe.

I was prescribed testosterone creme by my doctor. I was reading the prescribing information, and I discovered that accidentally spreading the cream to my wife or children would cause their genitals to grow.

Hmm, this has promise, I thought. I wonder what side effects it will have for me?

Well, for me, the only thing of note is that it could raise the chances of heart attacks and strokes. Oh, and breast growth and milk production. WTF.

We don't consistently end up with this type of logic by accident.

For instance, everything that tastes really good is bad for you.

No, that has to have been done on purpose.

Oh hey, I think I've seen this House episode.

Woke up at 330 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep due to pain, which was pretty cool. Still having a lot of arthritis pain in my knees right now and my ankles are killing me, I'm assuming that's due to however I've been contorting myself with the car.

Had intended to do more car work today, but maybe I'll take it for a drive, test it out and run some errands instead. Maybe nap if I can, though I'm bad at that.

Testosterone seems kind of pedestrian for a House episode. I only read a two paragraph summary of the episode, but if the kids were going through "precocious puberty" (I think that's what they call it), I would expect the doctor not to struggle with a diagnosis, but there was probably more to it that the summary didn't mention.

I've been bad at staying up too late the last week of revisiting Gears of War 4 and Gears 5. You have to be really in tune with how to play these games or they can punish you in places even on the default modes. Despite a 3rd day on just 6 hrs sleep though after a maddening session of Gears 5, I managed to get my full workout in after watching my Seahawks lose a game they should have won.

The treat of the whole day was watching the last 8 min of Sunday Night Football where the Bills played their last game at their outdoor stadium. They were being walloped by the Ravens most of the game and were down 40 to 25. The Bills managed to come back and win scoring 16 points in about 4 min. Ravens star running back Derrick Henry fumbled after having a stellar night otherwise.

So I have to be optimistic about our Hawks. Despite every other team in our division having won this week, it just feels like we've yet to tap this team's full potential.
