Gee, I feel hurt as I'm a digester, food, email, etc. And I use Comcast. I've 
never had any bounced emails. And I figure if I don't get an email, then it 
must be one of those individual poster emails that I don't care about :-) 
Anyway, if you can switch to Comcast, you won't have mail bounces (or at least 
you won't know about them) and you'll get free security for your computer(s).

George C Scott's character was General Turdgison. Jack Ripper was the wing 
commander with the precious bodily fluids.

And yes, the scene with George C. Scott where he is gathering up all of his 
binders and saying, But, but - he'll see the big board!! is a classic one and 
a favorite of mine, too.

Another favorite of mine is when George C. Scott's girlfriend calls him in the 
War Room. After he promises he will some day make her Mrs. Buck Turdgison and 
is about to put the phone down, he pulls back and tells her, And sug(ar) - 
don't forget to say your prayers!

Pay close attention next time you watch the movie - when Slim Pickens is 
flying the B-52 and looking at a Playboy magazine, notice the centerfold.

It's Buck Turdgison's girlfriend.

 accomplishing the task; Nav and RN do all (well, 99.5%,anyway) of the 
 navigation and bombing activity.  Pilot flies the airplane where Nav and RN 
 tell 'im in order to put bomb on target.  On a radar synchronous (computer 
 aided) bomb run, RN puts crosshairs on target or aiming point and sends info 
 to indicator on Pilot's front panel showing him degrees left or right to 
 reach release point.

[MBZ] rotors

2014-05-05 Thread clay
#1 boy finally got some daylight time off to attempt to tackle the rotor swap 
on his w140.   I went out to assist with executive function.

He was having some issue with getting the calipers loose, and I looked at the 
rotors (thank you Sexy Chowda King) on the car and there was not a whole bunch 
of wear.  Outer plate had all the wear, but still not a scary amount.  Compared 
to the fresh rotors, maybe 3mm overall.   Weather was turning, so I told him to 
button it up instead of messing up the job in the rain.

Is the amount of wear today reason enough to forge ahead with rotor exchange, 
or can he drive until summer arrives?

Re: [MBZ] rotors

2014-05-05 Thread Dan Penoff
If everything is working I can't see another month or so making a big 
difference. 3 mm seems like an awful lot, however. I'm sure there is a minimum 
thickness value out there somewhere...

About the only way I have found to bust the caliper bolts loose is to use a 
breaker bar with a socket or a combination wrench and a dead blow hammer. 
They're not terribly tight, but there will be thread locking compound on them 
if they were done properly.

My tool of choice is dictated by the amount of clearance available, meaning the 
breaker bar on the bottom and wrench/hammer on the top. That's just to break 
them loose, after which I use a ratchet and any necessary extensions.

Be sure that he has a good heavy hammer. Once he gets the bolt that holds the 
caliper in place removed he'll probably have to smack the caliper a few times 
to break it loose from the hub.
