It is not that bad.   I was told to stay in the hotel between dusk and 
dawn.  I did.   But I wandered around on the streets in the daytime with 
no ill effect.   One of the taxis was a 300D.  That was nice!


The Brits called it the jewel of the nile.   I can see why.  I'd go back 
in a flash.


The people are VERY entrepreneurial.  The Merkun people could learn from 
them.  In stead of whining  like a smellit, (i "only make a few Million 
a year") they get out and hustle.  Even if it is only roasting corn in 
an old MB wheel o n a street corner or selling broken glass, the people 
are out trying to earn shillings.

The most wonderful climate I found was the highlands of Guatemala.  The coasts 
were a humid torment unless you were on the water with the breeze.  Up in the 
valley it was mostly sitting at 18c with the really hot days getting to 22c.  
Nights might drop to 14c.  Winter in the uninsulated house, if a polar vortex 
were active, might get it to 8c, and then there might be hypothermic tragedies. 
 Just snuggle under a wool blanket with a fire roaring in the hearth.

I loved living in Volcano.  That is at 4000' too, but about 19º North.   
In a house with no insulation in the winter, I froze.  The house would 
get colder than the night air.  Most nights, I turned the dryer on and 
sat on it to keep warm.   But the spectacular views, the spectacular 
blue sky, tree ferns and clean air made up for it.  Volcano is where I 
could literally hear the grass grow.  Every morning when I went out into 
the warm sun, I forgot about freezing the night before!


In Kampala, the most you need is a long sleeve shirt, or a suitcoat at 
night.


Lotsa folks here have lived through lotsa stuff.   But thanks!

 At some point its the heat.Back 10 or so years ago now I spent a weekend in 
Burbank. There was a sidewalk art festival on so I took a stroll, had a beer 
with lunch, it was nice. Got back to the hotel room and just felt bad, my 
joints hurt, I had a headache. On a hunch I got a bottle of water and chugged 
it, started to feel better almost immediately and started sweating noticeably. 
"Ah ha! So this is what the early stages of dehydration feel like."I'd never

60s at night right now, high 70s/low 80s in my neck of the woods. Wonderful 
weather.

My youngest just got hired by the County as a park ranger. When they were 
interviewing him they asked if working outside in the summer was an issue for 
him. He pointed out that when he worked for the NPS in the Grand Canyon he 
routinely worked 8-10 hour days hiking in the Canyon with ambients in excess of 
100F.

That pretty much answered their question.

News flash for all the North Eastern folks. 50 F is hard freezing winter
for Arizona folks. Down parka time, gloves, muk luks. 70 F is barely warm.
Summer temps here, which keep the overcrowding problem under control,
routinely run 110 F plus, by 9 AM. Then, in the afternoon, it gets hot.

On the other hand, I did see a Mercedes 300D here with snow tires once,
about 15 years ago ;))

When we get those first 70 degree days its miserable all the worse because 
it'll still get down in to the 40s fast when the sun goes down. So you wear 
shorts but plan your change of clothes because it'll get cold fast.

Indeed you should!

Being in the 50s will be worse than when I was back in Pasadena, CA,
after much time at NASA's Goldstone Tracking Station in the Mojave Desert
and froze because it was only 85.

We had it the other way when we wound up stuck in Oklahoma City last
June. We were not acclimated to the 90+ weather into which we were
suddenly thrown.

If you’re talking about the cladding on the bottom half of the doors, there are 
two different clips used as I recall, and one oddball clip on the rear doors.

I would have to look in my notes but I probably have the list ‘o’ clips for it.

Now that I have been driving this thing after it sat most of its life, stuff 
that has been baking in the AZ sun are failing. Like body trim. The pieces on 
the door, for example, are becoming loose so I removed the one on the passenger 
door and it looks like there are two different types of clips utilized. And, is
