I wish but I might tempt myself by having a look at one, of course it must be RED..!

Monday looks good for it my friend, will be much warmer no wind or rain, it takes a while for oil to drain on these M's so no wind is important.
By the way ''ceramic'' polish coated the panels so ready whatever the weather throws at it

Going to be delayed a little bit more, I err on the side of caution and ordered a new SUMP PLUG as a precaution.

Is this a replacement oil pan drain plug you ordered?

It is indeed, just to be on the safe side.The old one on there being removed quite a few times may need replacement.

I couldn't agree more ..
But ! My friends :

Over here in Belgium we were warned to save our water ASAP !
In May we got zero rain while our groundwater level was approaching disaster levels !
The water supplier company said , we have to raise the price of water with 200 % if there is increased water consumption...
We got no winter and our grass was burned by the sun already in May !
Since the beginning of the weather and groundwater measurements from 1831 , this situation is unseen !

Last week we were 2 days without water , because no more water came out of the tap !
The water was shutted off by the drought ...And I had to wash myself after work with bottles of Evian water !

The sun is crazy ! #SaharaBelgium

As I write it has just stopped raining here though nothing heavy and it's strange but no downpours past two days just sprinklings my friend.
Sorry to hear you have water shortage there in your area and hope that your water levels will be replenished quickly with some much needed rain..just thinking of the Ardennes area where it should rain regularly...

Same weather in the Belgian Ardennes (no rain) but 2-3 degrees cooler like usual by the height and the forests .
The water levels in the Ardennes rivers are also too low by the drought ...

More info here => https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2020/05...evels-are-low/
According the latest :
Large parts of Belgium have not seen any decent rain since mid-March, except for a few days two weeks ago. Ground water levels are going down, and the situation is becoming difficult at an early stage, compared to the previous years when we had dry summers. Last year, the first restrictions had to be imposed in July, this time it is two months earlier.

Picture from Aquafin (2020) this "was" a river in Belgium"

To repait in "2020" !

"Exactly four weeks until we are back on track at the Red Bull Ring" !

Other news has taken precedence on the channels and its the first time I'm seing this about the drought in Belgium,for sure it's serious with farmers banned from syphoning water from what's left in rivers and ditches in the Flemish provinces.

It's still too long to wait but worth it when it comes.

My MBelgium friend -
Oh no!

This is disastrous - a drought that begins in May is tragic....so early in the season! This affects so many things....is it affecting crops? What about your production facility?

Positive my friend . It's affecting crops . My grass became hay covered with dust .
At the company we have a 300K liters water reserve pit (water well) with 4 strong water pumps . It's for the mold cooling , it is a closed water cooling circulation system , by this we are re-using always the same water .

Yesterday we got a few drops of rain . It was just enough to break the dust...
The weather prediction for today was rain .But it was sunny and windy.
Saw no rain today ..Perhaps a rain dance is required !

I'm doing rain dance for you now! It was pouring down here a while ago like from a huge fireman's water hose.
The wife is out in her car,I've told her to wait where she is and to come back when the rain calms down.
