Hendrik makes a very valid point, and one that pretty much applies to any used 
car purchased. That is, spend the money up front for the very best example you 
can find. You'll be better off than buying a fixer-upper or one that needs 
work, as it will most likely end up costing you more.

Looks like on high they want about 250W. I've got a 400W (800W surge) inverter 
that would handle one.

Never mind the fact that I could bring 12 camp stoves. :)

After difficulties cooking clamcakes on a propane burner I have threatened to 
bring my little 2 stroke generator to run Dwight's electric fryer. He says 
we're not going to do clamcakes this year due to low demand. I will be doing my

That's a bit much for cruising down the road with it plugged into the lighter

The lighter socket (IIRC) is limited to 150w. Directly wired to the battery 
would do 400w. With a motorcycle battery mine would run my 1/2hp sump pump up 
to 5 feet high which sadly isn't enough to get water out of my basement. I 
never retried with a bigger battery.

So the way to do it would be to hardwire the inverter under the hood and run an 
orange extension cord up the rain gutter into the cabin to the crockpot.

Thats 20a, how well is the the 55a alt going to keep up? I suppose if you had a 
long ride and let it recharge from the startup for a few minutes before you 
turned on the crock pot. Best to not use the lights/wipers/heat/ac... :)

The 46-year-old pilot had shortly before checked that his prosthetic 
lower left arm was securely attached to the yoke clamp, but as he

Federal Air Regulation #1: When the gross weight of the paper meets or
exceeds the gross weight of the aircraft, FAA may grant approval.

​I note the pilot was age 46, which I take to mean he applied for approval
to fly with the artificial limb at age 20, got approved at age 35, and
could only fly with the one FAA [UK equivalent]​ approved artificial limb
which was certified for flight, no substitute permitted. It had to be
inspected pursuant to it's own overhaul manual and repair cycle by the one
FAA approved and licensed shop which is now closed for FAA incident
investigation. etc etc etc.

I'm from the FAA, and I'm here to help you. Remember, we're not happy

Re: [MBZ] Chowdah Q

2014-08-20 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
What you got for a stove? Boat stoves are cool.

Last year I brought 2 two burner stoves which turned out to be excessive. I'm 
planning to bring just one this year. I did bring a single burner last year to 
make tea for Fred. I like single burner stoves so I'll bring another this year.

This all reminds me that I have a gift for Dimitri that was supposed to arrive 
before ChowdaQ last year but didn't. Fred and Dwight have already gotten theirs.

 Never mind the fact that I could bring 12 camp stoves. :)
 
 After difficulties cooking clamcakes on a propane burner I have threatened to 
 bring my little 2 stroke generator to run Dwight's electric fryer. He says 
 we're not going to do clamcakes this year due to low demand. I will be doing 
 my Dutch Oven barbecue just like last year.

We've been going through this with Angie's business, she's learning how to give 
the attaboy (or attagirl as the case may me) to her staff. She tells me They 
know they're appreciated to which I ask did you tell them?

Its actually one of the complaints I have about where I work, the head pats are 
infrequent and inadequate. Thanking a team for their good work isn't the same 
as thanking the team members each for their input.

Now that I think of it maybe I need to make sure I give Angie enough 
Attagirls...

There is an exception to that rule.  If you to plan on a restoration, it
pays to purchase a *running car* as cheaply as possible so you can take
your time in making the most cost effective improvements at a leisurely
pace..  This explains my 18 year enjoyment and simultaneous restoration of
a 1970 280SE 3.5 coupe that had lots of issues, but I could at least drive

I was wondering if anyone here has used Wordpress for putting a web site 
together. It looks like it's pretty user friendly and it's platform agnostic 
for the most part as well, since everything takes place on the server. Lots and 
lots of plugins, too.

Re: [MBZ] Holy green crap it's overpriced, I'll offer 500 greenbacks for the green car in Greensville, Greenolina

2014-08-20 Thread Hendrik and Fay via Mercedes
Mileage is not be all to end all, sure the preverbial driven to church 
on Sundays by a little old rich lady, who took the car in every year for 
a service is always a juicy find but it can also mean that the car stood 
in a shed for a long time.
Anyway if Kalebster wants it, he better get after it, or can wait for 
the next green green green 123 to pop up.
Guess no harm in putting in a low ball offer but 500 would sound silly, 
even by our standards.

Supercapacitors are already on the market. Only problem is they are
rather expensive. They are a lot lower loss than a chemical battery,
they do have some loss (you cannot have current flowing through a wire
without having some loss -- unless you have a superconductor, and
room-temperature superconductors are a ways off yet).

Thats 20a, how well is the the 55a alt going to keep up?


Well, 55A @ 12V is essentially 5.5A @ 120V, and that
doesn't take into account losses, or he fact that the
alternator is really at around 14V, etc.

Better to work in Watts directly.  Call it 750W
total for the entire car plus accessories.
