Re: [diesel_mercedes] Don't Be Afraid To Try

 

Nate,

Congrats, so you repaired your bathroom, does that mean you'll let
guests use it?
or are they still relegated to the bushes? :) (sorry, I couldn't help
myself)

It's nice when something gets fixed. Enjoy your new toilet.

Today, I dragged my wife off to the local PAP, since she re-decorated
the front of her 240 Volvo, and we were able to get 2 new headlights
(nice and clear ones), a grill and a piece of trim for her.

There were no MB 123s at the Beach Blvd PAP, yet at the Katella PAP
there was one MB 240D (123), so I grabbed the passenger seat, just to
take the springs, and replace my broken ones. I might go back tomorrow,
and get fenders and a hood for the Volvo, as it's all 1/2 off this
weekend. I don't want to replace those anytime soon, yet they'll be nice
to have on hand when I do.
