Re: [MBZ] OT A Reminder
Interestingly this is one of the few subjects my super conservative dad and I agree on. The people buying ammo now are sheep who don't remember 4 years ago when we had the exact same shortage of the exact same ammo. It lasted about 2 years after Obama got elected. It all started because some right wing idiots (not that all right wingers are idiots, I'm trying to weed some out of the herd) decided Obama's gonna take our guns so they better stock up, put guns in cosmolene and bury 'em with ammo for later. A couple years later Obama has done no such thing so life gets more or less back to normal. Most big box retailers get a truck every single day with some stuff in it but theres no telling what stuff exactly. Go to any Wal-Mart or Cabellas any given day and you'll find a couple old duffers convinced that their guns will soon be taken by The Government. They can't tell you who or under what law or anything but they're convinced. They go into the store and buy all the .22 ammo (mostly the .22 long rifle stuff, the shortage of which gets the other conspiracy theorists to buy up the stock of .223 and whatnot) that got delivered that day. If theres a limit they'll buy some and come back tomorrow. We've got about 18 more months of this foolishness before things go back to normal. Whats worse is some places have driven up prices because of it and some people are paying those prices just to be able to get out and shoot. What will be hilarious (in an I told you so kind of way) is in about 10 or 15 years when the duffers start to die off and their families are left with this huge pile of ammo which will get sold off at bargain basement prices driving the market into a tailspin. At that point the right will conspiracy theorists will blame it on government something, again they won't know who or why but they won't remember whats going on right now.

Re: [MBZ] OT A Reminder
It's funny, as my former employers, both right wingers, one more so than the other, played into this panic in 2008. Since they both have a fair amount of disposable income, they were buying up rounds of every possible type and size that fit their large collection of firearms. Our postal carrier hated delivering to our business, as many of these ammo manufacturers used USPS Priority Mail to deliver their products. This means a typical day's delivery might consist of 5-6 large 60 pound boxes. These guys seemed to be in a mild panic, calling and emailing suppliers on a daily basis to buy up whatever they could get their hands on. Anything under 1000 rounds was not acceptable. I always chuckled about this, as I figured 10 years from now they'll have this huge pile of ammo they will never use...

Besides if you apply manure after the plants are growing you can burn them, thats just dumb. If bacteria from poop were instant killers we'd all be dead, the human race would never have moved from being hunter/gatherers. Manure is the basis for ALL farming. Manure gets spread on fields everywhere, Humanure included. There is no reason to be scared of poop. There are of course prudent handling concerns, of which composting and washing your hands are two, but theres no reason you can compost poop.

The good bacteria that are responsible for causing things to compost overwhelm the crappy bacteria you are scared of. Also, you apply the $#it to your garden BEFORE you plant, not after, not when the fruit has started to form. Best practice is in the fall so it has 4-6 months to compost and become good fertile soil. Do NOT apply $#it after you have planted, this greatly increases e-coli potential. This process works for those in rural areas and for those city folk who are smart about the application.

Fred had suggested it was in bad shape and I should replace it. Then the little hose from the water pump to the thermostat failed so I ordered that, along with the heater hose, thermostat, housing gasket and some other gubbins. Everything arrived except the heater hose. The thing is the heater hose is almost impossible to replace without dismounting the AC compressor (which I already have to do for the little hose) so I hate do get in there only to have to get in there again.

[MBZ] Deaf dog owners
How is it that so many dog owners seem to be deaf to the relentless, incessant
barking of their dogs. Coupla hours ('bout 6 AM) before I got up this
morning, a small dog somewhere nearby began barking - a shrill fast-paced
bark. In spite of many years around jet engines, my hearing is still pretty
good - good enough to make me wonder - do dog owners go deaf, or do they just
not give a damned about how their dogs' incessant barking annoys others nearby.
Obviously, a dog's bark is more annoying to others than to the dog owner. I
think, if it were as annoying to the owner as it is to others, the owner would
make the dog, shut the hell up. BTW, I've owned dogs, too, but I trained them
not to bark so.
It's probably the same syndrome that makes the dog owner think it's OK to
bring the dog into my yard to do his/her business. I call it the my-dog
syndrome - my dog is better than your dog, my dog doesn't bite, my dog's bark
is not annoying, my dog barks silently, my dog's crap doesn't stink, my dog's
crap doesn't make a mess on somebody's shoes or carpet, etc., etc.

Re: [MBZ] OT lawnboy
Searching is caused by several things, lean mixture is one easy one (look at the base of the insulator on the plug -- should be tan to dark tan), but a fouled plug, air leaks, plugged air filter, worn linkages, etc will also cause trouble. Verify that the governor linkage is free -- if you move the air driven flap, it MUST spring back smoothly and immediately. All the links, hooks, and springs in the linkage between throttle valve and air flat (or centrifugal spring on newer engines) must be clean and swivel freely. If the linkage binds anywhere, the engine will continue to speed up until the linkage moves, which will be too far, and the throttle will close too far, the engine will slow down too much, then surge up too fast when the linkage finally moves again. Grass, crud, oil residue and dust, etc will all cause trouble. So will running too rich, as the power output is way down. A stuck float can make it run funny too. And don't neglect the possibility that the shut-off wire insulation has rubbed off somewhere, causing the ignition to cut in and out! Had this on the Snapper self-propel I bought this spring for $100, had been set very rich to compensate for the poor running due to the shut-off wire coming adrift and intermittantly shorting out. PO said it bogged down in heavy grass, which it did. Also burned lots of oil and smoked black once in a while, and stank of unburned fuel. I go the wire to quit shorting by removing it (have to take the cowl off soon and fix the recoil spring anyway, will get it in place then) and leaned it out a bit -- runs like a champ, doesn't burn oil anymore, and uses much less fuel. Still surges a bit on startup, but I suspect that's a carbon/oil ash fouled plug which I will replace soon. I would not run one without a governor, the blade is never balanced well enough and a flat-head single cylinder engine will turn WAY too fast to stay together without a governor!

Re: [MBZ] OT - Conceal Carry language
Interestingly enough I have decided that the dialect known as Ebonics is most likely a descendant of Gullah, which was the language the slaves sorta cobbled up so that different ones from different tribes could communicate among themselves and with the whites (who spoke English, French, Spanish, and whatever else in the early days in the islands and here in the Lowcountry). It is sort of a Creole kind of thing. My neighbors speak a very distinctive form of English, which for some is a second language after Gullah. I have got to the point where I can catch a good part of what the Gullah speakers are saying when they talk among themselves, as it incorporates enough English (or American I guess is more accurate) to be sorta decipherable. Many of the people have that accent one would associate with Jamaicans. A good part of the slaves came through this area, and I think this area was also one of the first for slavery, the local landowners having brought them up from Barbados and Antigua where they had come from. So that would sort of explain how the Gullah got spread around. I have to ask around and see if this hypothesis holds up, maybe check in with Queen Quet (the Queen of the Gullahs, not Liz).

Re: [MBZ] SVO and IP issues was RE: 1984 300D - won't start when hot.
Here is one view of biodiesel processing on the 'net: .the biodiesel industry and the technology have evolved. With the professionally engineered biodiesel systems available today, the process is simpler, safer, takes less time and yields more consistent results. So I decided to try one of the commercially available processors--it came boxed with all of the equipment and reagents needed to turn out consistent, high-quality biodiesel fuel. The FuelMeister processor used here has five fewer valves than the eight in my old homemade one. It also mixes the lye and methanol inside the tank to prevent the chance of dangerous spills Biodiesel Safety ..Yes, you can make biodiesel in a plastic bucket with little more than some drain cleaner, gas-line de-icer and a wooden spoon, if you know what you're doing. But it can be dangerous. Splashing lye and/or methanol into your eyes can blind you. And electrical pumps unattended in the presence of hundreds of gallons of flammables will make your local fire marshall understandably nervous. In addition, poor-quality product will damage your very expensive diesel-injection pump. Our advice? Research biodiesel production properly before doing the mad-scientist routine. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/alternative-fuel/biofuels/4332200 For more articles type: methanol lye biodiesel processing dangers on Google or another search engine.

Re: [MBZ] OT - cat $#it in the garden
Traditional agriculture has relied on cattle and horse manure, supplemented by chicken litter for years. What might be noted is that these are herbivores, with the exception of chicken, which generally eat bugs or grain. Manure from carnivores is best NOT used around food. if it has been thoroughly and completely composted at temps high enough to kill everything/anything, it could be used. I don't trust anyone's composting that much. Manure is applied in the fall or winter, and was traditionally plowed under. No cat crap in the garden for me please. Toxoplasma gondii requires a meat based host, it won't affect garden plants if its composted BEFORE planting. Don't handle $#it and food with the same hands. You can believe your doomsday scare article about Toxoplasma gondii, I'll let it compost naturally the way God created it and gladly eat the vegetables that it fertilized. Same with chicken $#it, cow $#it, horse $#it, and human $#it. Ever heard of a septic system? Gardens grow WONDERFULLY over the septic laterals, where the $#it eventually leaves the septic tank.

Subject: [MBZ] Deaf dog owners
How is it that so many dog owners seem to be deaf to the relentless,
incessant barking of their dogs. Coupla hours ('bout 6 AM) before I got up
this morning, a small dog somewhere nearby began barking - a shrill
fast-paced bark. In spite of many years around jet engines, my hearing is
still pretty good - good enough to make me wonder - do dog owners go deaf,
or do they just not give a damned about how their dogs' incessant barking
annoys others nearby. Obviously, a dog's bark is more annoying to others
than to the dog owner. I think, if it were as annoying to the owner as it
is to others, the owner would make the dog, shut the hell up. BTW, I've
owned dogs, too, but I trained them not to bark so.
It's probably the same syndrome that makes the dog owner think it's OK to
bring the dog into my yard to do his/her business. I call it the my-dog
syndrome - my dog is better than your dog, my dog doesn't bite, my dog's
bark is not annoying, my dog barks silently, my dog's crap doesn't stink, my
dog's crap doesn't make a mess on somebody's shoes or carpet, etc., etc.

Re: [MBZ] Deaf dog owners
Well, my neighbors certainly are not deaf, but they have an overactive German Shepard who is quite convinced she needs to bark at EVERY ONE who moves in her sight. They ascribe it to separation anxiety (pup was taken from her mother before being properly weaned) and poor socialization before they got her. Whatever the reason, they do call her off and do what they can to keep her from barking so much. I don't mind, specifically because I know they are doing their best to train her not to make so much noise. The fun part of this is that she will shut up, sit, and beg for treats, but start barking again as soon as she's gobbled them down. Quite funny. She is also wagging her tail full blast while barking up a storm, so I suspect she's just attempting to assert dominance and protect her people (which is fine, I don't plan to go into the yard while she's out, I don't trust the tail, so to speak). Now, if they let her bark herself silly and didn't say or do anything, that would be a different story. Nice people, I can tolerate an over- protective dog for a few years compared to a nice dog and wretched people.

All of us faux organic dudes suck in to the marketing and blow off the cadmium and other junk. I bet it has improved thru the years. I hear stories about it because I hear a few stories about milorganite on WPR radio - Wisconsin Public Radio which uses a few NPR feeds but does much local program - kinda nice. I hear it on the Elgin station WEPS which is the only radio station owned by a school district according to wikipedia. The majority of my work life was in wastewater reclamation reuse - treat it, spray it on the land, use the nutrients. Treat wastewater as resource to be managed, not as waste to dispose in to someone else's water supply. You want ick factor - consider that.

Re: [MBZ] OT - cat $#it in the garden
You shoot 'em before they go or what? I figure a cat doing its bidness in your garden is INFINITELY more dangerous than Andrew's composting his indoor cats manure. An outdoor cat sneaking into your sandbox has probably ingested outdoor animals and their parasites etc. and is thus passing it on to you without the benefit of composting. I spread my coffee grounds on the garden which seems to help keep 'em away. Once the plants grow in its never a big issue, the only trouble is when the garden is just open ground. BTW I found today that my local (well local-ish) Starbucks will collect me all the coffee grounds I want for my garden if I call each morning.

One dousing shouldn't hurt anything, especially if you get any amount of rain at all. In fact it should help fix nitrogen into the soil (at least a little).

[MBZ] 2004 E320 4matic - Water on Front Passenger's Side after Heavy Rain
Hi All, We had heavy rain a few days ago. I parked my 2004 E320 4matic in my driveway (Hill slops downward). Went to get something out of the glove box and noticed the front passenger carpet was soaked. I pulled back the rug and spent a couple of hours soaking up water from the carpet and well. I checked the sunroof drains and they flowed fine. I soaked the car with a heavy stream of water and couldn't see any water leaks. Any suggestions on the cause and how to dry up the car completely.

Re: [MBZ] OT - cat $#it in the garden -- now POTW sludge
It depends on where it is from. In a previous life my wife was Residuals Program Manager for the Boston Harbor Project and one of her jobs was to find a place to get rid of the sludge from the treatment works (which you can see if you fly into BOS - large egg-shaped digesters- her legacy to the region). Since Boston has very little industry, it was actually quite clean, and would have been great for use as compost. I think they actually process some for golf courses and whatnot, and the rest is landfilled. But people just had a thing about it. I would see her on the late tv news, presenting at some public hearing or other, people yelling and screaming at her about landfills for the sludge, she would get home at midnight completely whacked from those experiences.

There is going to come a time for the E300 to require massive infusions of dollars to bring it back to a reasonably safe condition. That time is not now, but maybe when the bushings die, the suspension sags, the engine leaks and burns coolant, and the seats and carpet are all broken springs and threadbare tufting. In my mind, that is in another 400k miles. clay On Jun 6, 2013, at 8:40 AM, Randy Bennell wrote: On 06/06/2013 12:45 AM, clay wrote: At the moment I am doing battle with SWMBA over the replacement for the E300. I would prefer it just get fixed and life go on, but she has a bug up her ... bonnet, that a more reliable car be found. These fit my taste. What should I be aware of, and which should be avoided? clay Cannot recall what is wrong with the one you have. Have to suggest that, if the cost of repair is reasonable and the rest of the one you have is good, then you are likely better off keeping it. My truck is in that category. It is an 02 with 170K miles on it and is developing a bit of rust on the driver's side rocker panel. Runs good, AC works etc. Should consider moving on but cannot see anything I want more unless I buy new and I rarely do. Last new one was in 1977. Too much $$. So, I would be fearful of getting into something that has more issues than what I already have. Now, having said that, if your good wife has just come to a point in time where she wants, or thinks she wants a different vehicle, then you are not going to win this one. Even if she agrees to fix and keep, you will likely end up changing vehicles for her in the near future. So, having said that, I think my advice would be to buy newer and probably the newest you think you can afford. Newer vehicles do tend to have some advantages - usually safer - and hopefully a lower likelyhood of issues. For example, my 02 F150 was 5 years old when I got it and I have had it almost 7 years. I have done very little work on it in that time. It has thus been very easy to own and that contributes to my willingness to keep it for the foreseeable future. My 2 cents for whatever that is worth.

Re: [MBZ] Spitfire 944
That odd transition time seems to have caught my father. The service was yesterday and though he had enlisted in the army, served in Korea and got out just prior to the police action, he was honored as and his marker says he was Air Force. Must have been DoD designation, though discharge papers say he was army. clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Jun 6, 2013, at 8:40 AM, Mitch Haley wrote: Max wrote: AAC, that's it. My dad joined up around the time the Army Air Corps became the Air Force, I think in 1951. When he enlisted, the old timers could still wear Army greens, but they only issued Air Force blues to the newbies so he didn't get a choice in the matter.
