thanks for the 9-blade fan hint, makes good sense. And for the syn-oil, which I of course won't get into with so many good threads on that already. Yes, RLD, you are right on. But no cover for the Benz, don't want to trap that heat...do leave a couple windows cracked. And true, it's a good time of year for indoor activities. Thanks again forum....
