(this is a place that is green year round and only rains 9 months of the year... :) For grins I purposely didn't attach that 300W magnetic heater thing to Fritz's oil pan last night... the thermometer read 5 degrees Farenheit... He started... I'm so impressed... Hey, I noticed we have a new subscriber from the Netherlands, er Nederland. Welcome! I was fortunate enough to have been able to visit Holland several times while stationed in Germany in the 70's and early 80's. The company I work for has a plant in Holland as well. Rotterdam I think... (Intermec Technologies). Fritz is gonna sit out this next snow storm, they're predicting 4 inches... He can't make it out of the driveway...

Just wanted to say hi and Happy Holidays... Oh, and rig.... Got an 85 300D Turbo-Diesel, in about a week It'll hit 240,000, so I guess it's just about half-way through its life. Sky Blue/Silverish body, dark-blue MB-tex int. I've had to plug her in all this week, Chicago doesn't treat diesel very kindly this time of year.
