Last night's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment was the first one I've seen that genuinely entertained me from start to finish.

Morning all

I kept thinking about what Crazy_Marc wrote a couple days back about how good it was to see the grass, well, that was short lived..... I know for myself I got at least 6-8" of new snow

Slow day in here. Does everyone but me have the day off or something?
The agency was closed yesterday
I spent the entire day working on the table saw
I got the 1/2" and 3/4" plywood home and cut to size
The 3/4" is for the top trey the saw mounts to, the 1/2" is for the bottom shelf
The 1/2" took a lot of work to get cut, I had to shape the 4 corners to make it fit into the stand
I still have a ton of work still to do, but one more thing accomplished
progress is slow, but I'm working on something I'll use for the rest of my life

I also shoveled snow......

BTW Ellen I pretty sure the brake parts are all the same AP1-AP2
Not completely true
Rotors and calipers are the same
Master cylinder and front pads are not
In 2004 the master cylinder was revised and the front pad compound became a bit more aggressive
For the last 3 or 4 pad changes I have put AP2 pads on the front of my AP1, they do dust a bit more, but they do offer a bit more grip/braking power
The compound changed, the shape of the backing plate did not
