Any Advice for Swapping Brake Lines

I'm a couple/few years in and, long story short, figured I'd buy better brake lines and upgrade since I had to drain and change the fluid anyway. Now that I have everything in place, I'm worried that the ABS unit will cause problems. I don't want to spend $500+ on a tool that will interface with the unit if air gets in, and I don't want to find out air is in my brakes by realizing they don't work.

Any advice?

Recommended reading for planning / building a firepit patio?

I've been thinking about building out a patio in the area in my back yard that we use for bonfires and the occasional outdoor movie. It seems like something I could probably do myself, but I want to make sure I don't fuck it up. Any advice for someone who has little experience in masonry? Recommended reading, a methodology for planning and execution, or really any feedback would be appreciated. I'm in the PNW if that matters.

I'm building a world where Zeus gets a vasectomy and really goes wild

Who wants the drama and evidence of having offspring with random mortals? Who wants to lose fractional divine spark by bringing demigod offspring into the world?

In my world, we follow Zeus in his decline from the height of his power as Christianity takes root in ancient Rome. Because his power is waning, he doesn't want kids. ​​Because he's vain and stupid, doing a vasectomy​ doesn't occur to him.​

So he HAS to have gay sex exclusively.

After the other gods lose stamina in an Olympian orgy, Zeus makes his way to the mortal realm, where he has a sexual Renaissance with occasional check-ins from Bacchus.​

Zeus in the bathhouse disguised as a comely young janitor seducing an unsuspecting swarthy merchant. Zeus as venerable old statesman teaching a future Pope about the carnal ways of the flesh.​ Zeus as a goose fucking another (male) goose. Zeus as a goose seducing a soldier who wandered by and succombed to curiousity. Zeus selling street food and engaging in greasy kabob-play with several ships worth of lonely sailors in Constantinople. ​Zeus spending a decade as a filandering mountain goat having his way with all comers (no pun intended) to a hot spring nestled in a lonely mountain pass. Zeus splitting himself into multiple Zeuses and running train on himself.

In a seminal moment, Zeus realizes that he can do a vasectomy, and then he does, but he realizes he isn't into straight sex any more​ and then finds Leonardo DaVinci and builds elaborate wooden sexplay machinery for them and their friends. Eventually, there's an oopsie and he impregnates a man, who hides this by pretending to be a woman. She's the Mona Lisa. Lonamisa is born, and the next book will be about their sexual adventures is Renaissance Italy.

There is like 15 pages of lore about how all of this works and why which I will post later and ask you to read.
