Brakes Broke

stormdogWhen I step on the brakes, and they have no appreciable effect apart from a strange sort of wooshing sound from the front end of the car...that's bad, right?
At least I found my overalls. *goes for the garage and the toolbox*
============
The driver side rear brake line is totally rusted out up above the wheel well and behind the gas tank. Fortunately, when I called Mechanic Juan to ask whether he knew anywhere to get pre-bent brake line, the conversation turned into him coming over to help replace both rear lines. Whee!
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to miss the craft fair with Moira and Mocha and people tomorrow. I suppose I'll use the time to work on those desktop computers instead.
That's because I got in touch with someone from Craigs List who wants to buy the whole lot and use them to start an internet cafe business. Cool! But they want to come by and pick them up on Sunday, so I'm going to have to pass on the urbex too, assuming I even have a working car by then. Well, life is what happens when you were making other plans.
Hey, fingernail polish remover doesn't do a bad job at removing car grime from my hands! I probably shouldn't do that very often though....
