Whee what a fun day..

Well, everything was hunky dory last night, drive home being through the driving rain and all. It all started after I decided to go grab some lunch since my parents hadn't bothered to run to the store and it was just one more thing for me to take care of while I was here. Walk out to my truck..thinking nothing of it. Open the drivers door..

"Why is my center console open.. Oh SHI-"

Someone had broken into my truck due to my locks..not..working. Stole my GPS, A coat, and some CDs.. Idiot left my $140 motorcycle helmet/helmet bag in the back seat as well as my $2K worth of tools. After I reported it to the cops, I picked up where I left off to run and get lunch. I walk around the back of the truck and look down just to step in what looked like runny diarrhea. Knelt down, smelled it, and more or less shat a brick. My rear axle seals were gone.. I got it over to the Ford dealership they did the same.

"What the hell did you do to her, Mike!?"

Luckily my truck didn't have a LRD, so we skated with the cheap stuff. Brakes were shot too due to the oil leaking on there (and having potato chips for brake pads.) 575.00 later due to the disassembly of the whole ass end of the truck, cleanup of the rotors, new seals, new oil, new pads, and labor, and the truck will be back tomorrow. Could have done it myself, but I don't have the facilities..

Wow, what a shitty day.
