Worth noting that these often wear out because people don't loosen the pivot bolts on the alternator and on the rack itself. This causes excessive strain/wear on the teeth and eventual failure. Also helps to use a pry bar, which should be no problem on a W123 240D... lots of room in there. On

While the python thing is purely south Florida/Everglades, understand that they are extremely difficult to catch. The state has a very nice bounty on them, but I don’t think there are many caught on an annual basis. Again, iguanas are not common this far north, as it’s not a tropical

Re: [MBZ] More cars for CL

I remember the Blizzard of 78. I got trapped in the house with my Mom, and she followed me around for two days just yammering at me since there was no one else there. I finally bundled up and trekked cross-country about two miles to a friend’s apartment where I holed up for several days to

Re: [MBZ] OT: Holy Falling Frozen Florida lizards!

Iguana tail is supposed to be good eating - though I've never had the opportunity to try it. Since they are an invasive species in FL - you'd think people would be encouraged to collect and eat them. On Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 12:54 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote:

Re: [MBZ] OT: Holy Falling Frozen Florida lizards!

That’s what we refer to them as. I’ve never tried to pick one or eat them. I look at it as a contribution to keeping the local flora and fauna alive. Especially the bees, as I used to keep bees when I lived in Indiana. And I understand that picking the fruit won’t affect the bees…. -D >

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mesh WiFi Networks

I have no complaints about the quality or functionality of NetGear’s products, I just don’t like the fact that stuff seems to become legacy hardware in a far shorter time period than other vendors. It did affect my NAS, as I bonded the two NICs using the firmware options, and there’s no way to

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mesh WiFi Networks

I tried Netgear after several failures of other brands, and the Netgear has lasted the longest here. YMMV. I do get updates for the Netgear stuff, even though there are newer models of the hardware. I have four pieces now - in four different buildings, all on the same network - working great

[MBZ] More cars for CL

https://jalopnik.com/the-cars-are-frozen-1821804568 I was there in the Blizzard of 78 when the same thing happened, it amazes me that these people did not move their cars.  The forecast was pretty clear for a coupla days.  I guess just like the folks here who don't heed hurricane predictions.

Why ornamental figs? Why not grow a real one? If you don't like figs ship them north. On Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 1:45 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > It got down to freezing the last two nights. Might make it up to the low > 50s today, but it’s bright and sunny

Re: [MBZ] OT: Holy Falling Frozen Florida lizards!

It got down to freezing the last two nights. Might make it up to the low 50s today, but it’s bright and sunny (thank goodness!) Iguanas are more of a south Florida thing. We do have lizards in our trees and bushes, however, but I haven’t seen any fall out. Kitty will alert me if that

[MBZ] Jim Cathey saves the snowmobile club!

The snowmobile club gets paid to groom by the state, that's essentially our whole business. We get that money once a week only, miss a week and the money is gone. The ASV is our smallest big groomer, it's 6 feet wide, and is notoriously hard to start. I've pondered the issue for two years with
