Btdt and it was me not wife.Here is what I would do.Take wife out to
fancy restaurant buy her a rose or two and a card that says honey it was
my fault.Of course she knowns your are lying but will love you for the
thought.Now my shameful story.Me and a friend loaded 65 boxes of kitchen
floor tile in my van about 2000 Lb's. I drove 35 miles home with emer
brake on about one or two clicks. And yes the brake light was on.But me
and him were in another world I guess.After cooking supper on the drums,
I put the van in reverse and slamed on the brakes about 15x and the
pedal came back up.If you emer brake was on more than mine you might
have glazed the drums and shoes.You ok unless the drums have a blue look
to them. Just take some 220 sand paper and go over the drums and
shoes.Now scott I just love letting people know my stupid side so put it
to good use and it will be well worth it.    Marcus
