Thanks Mark,

        Funny that so many of us didn’t get the email.  I usually get Dave’s.

In answer,  

        I would have said, get a good look at all the boots including the one with Greece. 

If a small cut or tear,  and no time for repair, I’d still do the trip.  The CV is strong. 
Some folks will put extra Greece in a bad boot to get through using syringe.

But, in a perfect world get it off and new boot and Greece applied. 

Lately, I keep a Axel ready for my standard 84 and boots, Greece, bolts and parts, including extra CV joint ready to go.
