Pulling the drive shaft tonight

I plan on pulling the drive shaft tonight so that next week I can take it to a friends house (he has a vise) to get it apart. I haven't really been pushing it since I'm afraid of what will be next that will take it off the road. I guess though that this is the life of an 02 driver, my first one was kind of like this too. But at least it ran for long periods of time.
