This tale reminds me of an old friend who has since passed on.

His electric razor was not holding a charge so he went to a shop that 
services electric razors and bought replacement rechargeable batteries 
for his razor. Then went home and installed them but they did not appear 
to work, so he took them back out and was on his way downtown to return 
them for a replacement set the next morning. On his way he stopped in 
for coffee at a shop where a number of us met pretty much daily. He told 
me his tale of woe and I asked him how long he had let them charge for 
before he tried the razor. There was a sudden look of surprise on his 
face and he sheepishly admitted he had not charged them at all. The 
batteries were good after he re-installed them and charged them up.

That's a bonkers price for something that had literally no value 20 years ago...

Re: [MBZ] OT The Light Dawns

2024-03-17 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
I took Angie's '05 Golf in for a new timing belt the other day. My TDI guy is 
an hour and a half away so rather than arrange for somebody to go with me I 
just rented a tow dolly. Backing up to a tow dolly is always hard because 
they're so small, I figured the backup camera on the '18 RAM 1500 would help 
but I could barely see the dolly.

I had a similar epiphany, jumped out, wiped the road grime off the camera and 
low and behold! Hook up was a breeze when I could actually see the target.

Checked all kinds of things, no joy, and so, to bed. Woke up at 02:30 for a
visit and, sitting there in the dark, had an epiphany! Put on my warmest
