MAINTENANCE #1- 3 NOVEMBER 2001 -
     So on Thursday 1 November 2001 I helped by buddy Sean Cullinane move.  Everything was just fine in the truck.  However, when I left for work the next day I noticed that the brake pedal was sinking lower and lower and it was getting harder to stop the truck.  This morning I checked the brake fluid level and it was <GASP> empty.  So I filled it back up with some DOT #3 (of course, my original '66 Chevrolet Truck Owner's Guide says to use G.M. Supreme No. 11 Hydraulic Brake Fluid, but I didn't exactly have any of that laying around my garage).
     Once I refilled the fluid, I took B'Ellana for a spin around the block and she stopped just fine.
