I have been streaming https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/brigada_costa_del_sol/s01 There are a bunch of nice example of Benz on the show. Green w123 and C107 mainly, with a few others. For some reason the cars have aftermarket radios. clay I have no pronouns please do not refer to me.

That would be worth trying. AK is all in an uproar about this silly bug. Daily threat assessments and confusing statistics. The take away is that there are over 1000 EMPTY beds and under 50 hospitalized WRD people. Been that way for ages. The numbers are rising for infected, but that is

Yes, Becker Audio is a great supplier. They have a presence in the Bay of Fleas. Retail pricing, but it will be as new and could even be enhanced with USB/Bluetooth. I had a pair of radios they did rebuilds on. Look and work as new. One is living in the 450SL. clay I have no pronouns

Abbott Labs test machines are turning out to be very unreliable, so the infection numbers are inaccurate. Then we have racial disparity related to infections and outcomes.

Up in GWN, the small health facilities close the doors if a WRD shows up. No More Health for YOU! They were closed up for 8 weeks anyway, since they could not perform normal care, and nobody in the wee villages about had the bug anyway. Lost millions of $$$ and laid off staff. Then they get

Opposite climate for me. I hate the squirrelly bulbs and LED because they are cold. A good filament bulb would pump out calories to keep you warm as your read a book at night at the far reach of the heating vents. They also put out a better Kelvin color so you felt warmed instead of flipping

That should do the trick. The keys get inserted to disengage the spring metal detents holding the radio in. Being pulled out of the way, that hook should be able to yank on and dislodge the radio. At least that is how I get the radios out of PnP car. May need some muscle behind the yank to
