The Depot is still on the north side of town on the main street (now M-50, a state highway) but it looks nothing like that picture. It's been a coffee house or a pizza shop at various times, I think it's back to pizza again.

Re: [MBZ] Flying snowmobiles: a snomobile for Curt
A common problem for snowmobiles too. Snow picks are a common solution. The go-fast kids put 144 or 288 picks in the snowmobile track. I've been thinking about putting some in my big Ski-Doo, getting stuck on ice sucks. If I did I wouldn't put more than 96. Ones you go over 144 you risk track damage when a pick pulls out. -Curt Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 21:24:15 -0700 From: Craig To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Flying snowmobiles: a snomobile for Curt Message-ID: <20140118212415.253863bd5901bbb1e1e82...@pisquared.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 On Sat, 18 Jan 2014 16:16:31 -0800 (PST) Curt Raymond wrote: > Showed Angie this video:?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=howfzt7xNwQ > and now she wants an Argo.

Look farther on in the video, they have soft tops. A heater is available too. At camp we've got one of the MR. Heater Big Buddys. It'll heat the whole camp no problem. We got one of those adapters to refill 1# propane cans so its relatively economical to use too. -Curt Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 21:39:39 -0600 From: Dieselhead <126die...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] B WAS: snowmobiles: a snomobile for Curt Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" >Showed Angie this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=howfzt7xNwQ >and now she wants an Argo.

I didn't realize you were in Charlotte. Did you know thats the location for this years International Coleman Collectors Convention? http://intlccc.net/ICCC_convention/ICCC_convention.html We're planning on attending, the only question is if the mighty Jetta makes the trek or if I rent a car. I suppose the 190D is in the running too but I'd really like the Jetta to go if for no other reason than the amount of fuel it would burn, or not burn... -Curt Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 22:23:47 -0500 From: Mitch Haley To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] low cost 3D metal printer Message-ID: <52db4543.3010...@voyager.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Dieselhead wrote: >> Mitch Haley wrote: >>> Houghton is a long way from me.

Flying to Houghton from here would be pretty far, but driving there is even worse than driving to Tennessee from here.

If you are looking for this kind of functionality, DDWRT and OpenWRT are better known, and will let you use a vast array of easily available embedded systems. Newegg even lists DDWRT compatibility as a feature. Embedded systems use less power, and to be frank most of the wireless drivers for access point tasks are more reliable on ARM platforms than on x86. I bought a refurb Asus 11n router with a USB port for $20 not long ago, mainly because it supports DDWRT. To me the big advantage is that I can use it as a low-power, general-purpose ARM computer, but you could do all kinds of interesting things at a lower level if you had the mind to do so. For most people this means running OpenVPN, SSHD, and a torrent client, but there is a lot you -could- do. :) The biggest down side is that you can completely overwhelm a consumer wireless router if you are using it in a busy environment. Enterprise routers have more memory and more testing of individual features at scale, although for a handful of clients DDWRT is as good as. If you are looking for fancy wired routing functionality, Quagga (or even Zebra) is a good choice. Wired routing is a very stable field, people never update their core routers if they are working, so a five year old project isn't that antiquated. :) IPtables is serviceable for a basic switch, although you won't get wire speed over very many ports from a general purpose computer - software switching is limited by the processor, and very power-inefficient. You would do better to use a PC as a router and use VLANs with a cheap switch instead. In fact the switch embedded in my DDWRT router supports VLANs so I could theoretically do all this onboard - but I only have one router running so OSPF isn't that interesting. :) Best, Tim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
