Weldments and threaded fasteners (nuts) were present in the cars since the
early 1960s. My 1962 300SE had the nuts in place with rubber plugs in them on
the floor and “B” pillar. Belts were optional until the early 60s, I think.
Certainly by 1968 they were standard. Someone may have removed

3 feet of hail hits Guadalajara in 'freakish' stormPublished: Tuesday, July
2, 2019
A "freakish hailstorm" hit Guadalajara in the Jalisco state of Mexico this
weekend as the result of what CNN meteorologist Michael Guy described as
low atmospheric pressure and the region's mountainous landscape.
Just saw Baton Rouge. Wonder if it got a good wash over the last few
years, although the interior looks pretty nice.

Seatbelts were an option in 1963. My 190dc was purchased factory direct
through an olds dealer in PA and I guess the buyer didnt view them as
worthwhile, so he didnt spec it that way.

The t700, supposed to be fully synthetic from hydrocracked base stock. I just
did an oil change on the e320 with it. Currently the 98 e300 using rotella t6
uses no oil between 10k oil changes. We shall see what this stuff does. If it
burns off faster than that then I will know how it stacks up.
Niagara are among the better low flow shower heads.
But in my experience, you need to run the water hotter because it cools
noticeably before it hits your body.

Last summer, our vacation rental had a tinny water heater. Daughter unit
found out the hard way that 20 minute showers were not possible. I
explained that we'd all need to take Navy showers if we all wanted to enjoy
some hot water, and the girls learned fast. Water on, get wet, water off.

I have moved the old water heater to its new location. I think the best
(and most economical) direction is to keep the lp tank heater. I think
perhaps SWMBO may have come to that conclusion too, after some
research. At least for the time being, the tank lives on. Thanks to
