AJ helps Pop work on our Matatu

The emergency brake on the purple minivan, among other essential features, is currently inoperable. (For those keeping track at home, this list also includes: the horn, the door locks, the driver-side airbag, cruise control, and the air conditioner.) While we were in Altamont this past weekend Dad had a look to see if he could help better diagnose the problem, in advance of our inspection which comes due at the end of the month. In the end, it appears that we may need a new pedal-mechanism as Dad was able to confirm that the cables are both functional (which I understand would have indicated a much more significant/expensive problem). In order to check the cables Dad had to take off both rear tires. AJ was both very interested in both identifying any potential uses for the air hose , as well as how he might "fix the car". (Aaron and I have a few choice ideas about this ourselves...) As it turns out, AJ tightens a mean lug-nut.
