Richard, rest up and get better.  You will be missed,  but 1 month is not that long in the grand scheme of this.
Jeff, unacceptable.  You still have 20 hours.
  

I'm working on it. Hardtop off, safari top on now. Full doors off, half doors on now. One can of chili pulled from pantry. I have a ton of work left to do!
  

Don't worry, im right there with you.  I'll definitely be ready for a nap when we get to the lake

Mostly ready now. Quick trip to the store for some food followed by packing my clothes, etc.

Jeff, If it makes you feel any better I just got off work and haven’t started packing yet. But I’ll be there. Leaving doors on and top on. I might have my personal top off though. 🙂

Home safe and unpacked (kind of … stuff is just thrown into garage - it’s so dammed hot compared to how nice it was in Tahoe). 

Anyway it was an awesome trip. Thanks all for making it memorable and fun! 

And happy dads day to all the Posse dads

Driving on a smooth highway bored me into a trance so, I made it home after a brief rest stop nap. What a great experience with you all, as usual! Thank you!

Finally getting around to looking at my brakes after the rubicon trip as it's been sitting on the side of the house for the past month.  Good news is I dont think I need a new master cylinder.  However I might need some new brake pads and drum.  When I pulled off the drum, the adjuster screw fell out, along with some other unidentifiable pieces which later turned out to be chunks of brake pad.  The trailing brake shoe has no pad on it at all and the shoe is no longer a smooth round circle.  The pins that hold the pad in place were digging into the drum.  The front shoe and pad still look great somehow.

I’m glad you looked into it, no linings on the shoes is definitely bad. Hopefully this cures your brake problem.

Still not really sure what made the pad fall apart like that.  Maybe I got a small rock up inside the drum that dug into it and broke the pad apart.  The broken pieces of pad were still thick enough to not feel the need to replace them.  Maybe they just aged out and lost their integrity?
