Ken, Carl, and I put on a new booster back in January. I was asked to report on it but I have had so much going on that I had forgotten all about it.
I had good brakes. I had to hit them hard though. by that I mean I had to push hard on my pedal. I did not like the feel of that. With this booster I now have a pedal that feels like a car. Friday I was showing Wally. I just lay my foot on it and "feel" for the brake I need at the moment. It does not give me better brakes but it sure makes them easier and quicker to find. I love the thing. A 7 year old kid can apply enough pressure to this thing to make the GMC stop. If you have good brakes but the pedal is hard, this will fix it.

Mine is installed but I have not driven it yet to test it out. If I ever stay home for more than a few days at a time I'll give it a test run.
I was working on my trailer this week. I rebuilt / replaced all of the worn suspension parts and installed one size larger tires. Now the fenders hit the tires. So I need to cut the fenders off and weld them back on an inch or so higher.
I'm headed out first thing in the morning. The tracker is on but the local I-gate is down so I'm invisible until I get 20 or 30 miles south or west of here. I need to send the local control op a message about the I-gate. I'm tempted to come up on one of the satellite frequencies and get away from the terrestrial receive sites.
