Well, I guess its time to pop for set of axles. Ran an errand this afternoon and returned to a puddle of oil in the garage. Hmmm...? I thought at first the diff was leaking as I didn't know the CV's on MB's were oil-filled. A little research set me straight. I just checked the axles and they are tight but the boots are dryrotted. Inner passenger side let go. I was just under the bloody thing day before yesterday and no leak. I don't mind the work but I sure wasn't prepared to spend this kinda $$$ right now. Damn. Guess I'll go downstairs and start taking her apart, again. Might as well get a headstart on it. RT

I was supposed to meet my wife and some other people tonight for dinner. So I find the oil and now I'm really pissed. The cordless phone I was using has been giving trouble, it double and triple dialed numbers pressed only once. So I'm standing there just ripped about the car and after about 10 unsuccessful tries to dial the number, yup you guessed it! BANG!! Phone gets smashed to a coupla hundred pieces on the kitchen floor. I finished it off with my boot. Then I called the wife with the upstairs phone. Never liked that damned phone anyway....
