    Default Well today sucked

    Well, got to work and turned out our job for the day fell through. So ended up washing/working on all the equipment. Turns out my boots (3yrs old) aren't waterproof anymore So my feet have been soaked since about 10am this morning. So then I go spend some money on a radiator for my dirtbike. I pull out of the shop's entrance. Stand one it in first and shift pretty hard to second. BAMM, nothing. Turns out I snapped a CV axle Call up a towing company. Pay $60, then my car bottoms the heck out getting it off the truck. Now i'm going to spend $100+ on some new boots

    there are no "bearings" in a CV joint. FYI.

    LOL, yeah thankfully it was off the car. Had it been on, I would have taken the front bumper off real quick before he loaded it. 4screws & 4-10mm bolts= 2mins
