: About Me

Hi, thanks for checking out my Bio.

I am just an ordinary guy in my 30's, and live on my 37 ft Yacht "Golden Travelly", which is moored in Cairns Harbour, Queensland, Australia, which is on the eastern side of Australia. Home of the Great Barrier Reef.

I am currently studying to be a Freelance Journalist, and find "Helium" a great place to hone my craft. There are some really talented writers here, and I really enjoy "Raising the bar", in an attempt to get the highest score. Its just great.

When I am not writing or studying, I enjoy Sailing my yacht, visiting the many Islands and Reefs here.

Well, thats all I can think of for now, but its enough to prove YES, the is a "Real" person at the other end of these Articles and my computer.

Thanks for your time, and take care of yourself!

Dave

Autos > Brakes & Tire Repair What you need to know before having your brakes replaced

3 of 5

Being "Out of sight, out of mind", brakes are given little to no attention, or at least not as much attention as what they deserve. After all, it is their job to bring over one tonne of metal, and its precious cargo (you & yours), to a halt whenever it's called upon, so it makes perfect sense to have them serviced, and kept in Tip-top shape. Whenever you get the following issues, it is time to have your Brakes serviced: - Pulling to the Left or Right when brake pedal depressed - Grinding noise when stopping - Spongey Brakes that become stiffer after pumping the brake pedal a few times ...
