Re: [MBZ] Slow weekend

2011-05-08 Thread Curt Raymond
I got the Ranger to drag ass hauling wood yesterday, a friend is building a 
house and told me to take all I can haul. Yesterday 7 pieces of wood had the 
ass end of the truck about on the pavement.
Then I put safety chains on the snowmobile trailer and gave it a coat of paint. 
Mowed the lawn with my 46 year old lawnmower which started on the 3rd pull 
after its long winter's rest. Having a fuel shutoff proved to be a good idea on 
that. Also built a new potato box and planted some butterfly mix flowers my 
wife had.

After dinner I split 1/2 cord of wood with my hand operated mechanical wood 
splitter. My wife brought me out a coat its cold she says, I was pouring 
sweat...

Today theres bread dough in the bread machine and then a birthday party to go 
to and not much else!

Everybody must be working on yards/gardens or cars.

I am planting dermaters peppers and eggplans and changing starter and
glow plugs.

Sorry Andrew,  no cat poop  on my dermaders.

Annual Master Gardener's Plant sale -- all day Friday setting up and  
then FINALLY mowing grass (it's more than a foot tall, even where I  
managed to mow some of it before my vacation), then all day Sat  
selling tomatoes.  In bed by 8:30


Got another stint at the sale today 10 - 1 pm, then off to the  
funeral home, mow grass, check the bees, and then Mother's day dinner.


I'm going to try to get the new driveshaft in the 300D this week,  
the vibration is killing me!

Re: [MBZ] 91 350SDL trim color

2011-05-08 Thread Dieselhead
As I recall, the trim colors are not listed.  Someone posted them 
several years ago.  I will try searching the archives.  Maybe someone 
saved it or wrote it down.


Exterior color of my 91 350 SDL is black, #040.  Can somebody tell 
me how to identify the color code # of the grey trim on the bumpers 
and side lower trim?  'Need to order a spray can of it from Tower 
Paint.  Is it with the regular paint code on the data plate on the 
radiator brace?  If so, which one is it?

Only post I found about trim color on okiebenz was your question from 
yesterday.  Maybe it was on Dickarde's list or maybe trim color is 
not the right search term.

From another forum:

Bumper Cover Trim Color

Does anyone know the color code of the lt. gray bumper trim and 
molding on white Benz's or have a suggestion for over the counter 
paint close match? I cannot seem to find a matching paint at the auto 
parts and hardware stores I go to. I think the later cars were all 
white. Thanks. Michael

Answer:
PaintScratch Touch-Up Paint (rs), Spray Cans, Spray Paint, Paint 
Pens, Car Paint, Automotive Paint


Looks like Marble Grey (matt) Clearcoat #7201

END Quotes

I don't think that is the official color.  I know I did see the 
official colors posted on the okiebenz list or the dickarde 
predecessor.  Someone even found the official paint code for the 
insides of bumpers.

I've had good results from Paintscratch.com for my car; got both primary and

Cut off a shoot and put some rooting powder on the end, stick it in some 
moist potting soil and it should take.

Andrew,

I called a local nursery and talked to the owner, who has a radio show 
here on Sat morn.

He agrees with Rich.
Small 2-4 inch tender shoot dip in Rooting Powder plant in Sterile 
Potting Soil. Keep Moist NOT Soaking wet.

Should see roots in 3 to 4 weeks. Keep soil above 72° .

You'll likely have a greater success rate if you rubber band a baggie 
over the the top of the pot also, to retain the humidity.
