Re: [MBZ] Kleb Oil (Dino)
If the burn isn't extremely bad, many of the locals use hemorrhoid ointment which has a local anesthetic as well as healing properties. Nupercainal seems to be the favorite brand but some people say Preperation H is better. Of course, the locals seldom get sunburned since many have year-round tans and use sunblock as well. Nupercainal eases the pain a great deal. Gerry From: Dieselhead 126die...@gmail.com Ya mon!

Re: [MBZ] ????
I watched the episonde of Wheeler Dealers where they resurrected a 2003 (?) SLK Kompressor. Very entertaining show! After it was properly sorted out they sold what was basically a $50K car for 3750 pounds sterling (around $7,000), clearing about 500 pounds' profit. They managed to pick it up from a shady dealership for only $2100 pounds. It was fun watching the tech sort out/replace the nonfunctional hard top, spongey brakes, rust spots, incorrect alloys, and noisy supercharger. They hired a mobile body shop to do the rust spots at their garage for very little money. Do those exist around here?

Re: [MBZ] Cervidae encounter
You are correct that I was referring to the AR-15. Those are indeed available in many other calibers than 5.56 (similar to .223 Remington). Some in the 6.5-7.62mm range might be suitable for Boar. The AR-15 is actually a scaled-down version of the earlier AR-10; which fires the 7.62 NATO cartridge (similar to .308 Winchester). This is a very suitable round for hunting large Boar. I'm not going to take a position pro or con on the hunting ethics of the following: Many believe that since the feral hogs are considered vermin rather than game animals they are not as deserving of a humane one-shot kill as is a majestic Whitetail or Mule Deer buck. They are often encountered on the run and in groups, so shooters are trying to take as many as possible with rapid follow-up shots. Thus the incentive for the use of an AR-type rifle over a more conventional field weapon. BTW, moose are not that tough to bring down despite their size. My cousin has taken many moose with a .270 Win. Elk and certainly Bison merit more potent arms.

What are you seeing? Could be the demographics, as you point out. More people here into alternative things and doing hippy stuff.

Diesel is simple, low cylinder count, instead of the V engines that take wallets full of cash to keep on the road.
