Stopping is fun

Took apart both rear drums on my 07 ranger v6 3l to address a squeak that would occur after I release the brake pedal.  It sounded to me like the shoes were scraping on the hub.  Got into the drivers side to find the brake wheel cylinder was leaking quite a bit.  Took it all apart and cleaned it up best I could.  Put just a tiny dab of high heat anti-seize on and squeak is gone.  Figured out, because I didn't have a manual, that the best way to take apart drum brakes is take a picture of all the springs and where they go.  Changed the oil and spark plugs.  Got about 6.5 hrs into that.

   The amount of current flowing through some of these cables scares the crap outta me.  If I touch two wrong conductors together I could possibly lose thousands of dollars in computer equipment.   I don't what it is I like about electrical.  I just like it... so far
