From a cinematography standpoint "The Longest Day" is typical of its vintage. Most of it was shot on a sound stage. "Saving Private Ryan" has a much more "real" look and of course the sound design is 20 years more advanced. The stuff with the Duke is pretty sappy too, again typical of his acting

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL?

So in order to adjust the ALDA on the 603, you have to shim it as opposed to adjusting a screw like on the 617? Dan > On Sep 3, 2015, at 12:23 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > > There were posts, and I think a McMaster part number for that some years ago. >

HF's panels are a scam, 45 watts for $180, Amazon has 100w for around $140 with the charge controller. -Curt From: Rich Thomas via Mercedes To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: Rich Thomas Sent: Thursday, September 3, 2015 1:57 PM

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL?

Not a think wrong with the Taurus or Sable. They were good transportation providers for the price. Very common, nothing distinctive about their design, blended in with everything else on the road of that vintage. That’s the W220. Dan > On Sep 3, 2015, at 3:58 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes

[MBZ] UST cleanup

I guess I have known about the UST (Underground Storage Tank) outside here, but the property is changing owners and so I guess they require an environmental inspection. I had forgotten the UST so I didn't mention it over the past weeks of lookers. Aside from the expensive excavation and

Re: [MBZ] OT: Practical solar application

Go and buy a 100 foot power cord. Minimum 12/3. I saw one in a flyer this morning for $50 here and you can likely get it there for less. That should be sufficient for your heating mats unless you are using a lot of them. Don't expect any code issues if you just plug it in at the house and at

Re: [MBZ] OT: Practical solar application

There probably is if you look around. It won’t be cheap, however. Doing it yourself is really pretty easy. As previously described, you only need three things: PV panel 12V battery Inverter (DC to AC) Work backwards by calculating your load. If you’ve got 100W of 110VAC load, you’ll need
