MBDiesel.net - An Owner's Journey

Hey, how about 8 months between updates, huh?

Hopefully this will make up for it a little bit - valve stem seal replacement on the 300TD!

Things have been real busy since the last update. In a brief run-down, I injured my back, seriously injured an eye, and went back to school. Then Donna and I got married, I got a part-time job to go along with school, and what little time I used to have evaporated.

I know many of you out there have been begging for more frequent updates, and I'll still be doing what I can, when I can. But unfortunately, the tone of most repairs these days is of the "Oh crap, get this fixed PRONTO!" variety instead of the "Oh, won't this be fun to take pictures of and post on the internet?" sort that I prefer. Quite obviously, cameras usually aren't around for the former as much as they are the latter.

Also, as of about a month ago, we said goodbye to our 1980 300SD. She's living out the remainder of her life with a friend of ours - may her miles continue to be reliable and long-lived!

Best to everyone out there, and enjoy the holidays!
