Diesel RVs: [diesel_mercedes] Quiet

Ouch Max ;

It's always difficult for those who are left behind .

I've lost quite a few over the years , not looking forward to any more but there will be .

As it turned out , we had a wonderful Thanksgiving ~ four generations in the house at once , plus our Teenaged Foster boys and my Brother Tom .

So much food we barely made a dent in it , it's now Sunday afternoon and I had a toasted ham & cheese sandwich for lunch and just now peach cobbler for dinner's desert......

Whew .

Friday there was a Sta. Monica Mountains fun drive , only four of us showed up , Tom in his 300SDL 6 cylinder , me in SWMBO's '82 240D slushbox , plus two MGB's , one of them threw a fan blade in the mountains , as it flew off it ruptured the bottom of the new custom made radiator.....

We soldiered on and had fun plus good eats at the end , Tom's alternator brushes wore out so he decided to replace the broken driver's seat until the sun went down then we had a nerve wracking drive across most of L.A. in the dark with no lights......

I gave him a new BOSCH voltage regulator and he slipped it in in a jiffy Saturday morning , it's fine now .

Three weeks ago yesterday one of my best friends put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger. Went out shopping in the morning so her husband would have plenty of supplies. what can you say when someone calls you up and drops the bomb? He is having a very hard time, how could he not? Pretty much what Nate said is pretty much all we can do. Live it while we can. Hope your making it Bill. Never get over this stuff, but somehow have to keep living. Max
