[MBZ] OT - A COUNTRY BOY REMEMBERS - TOM NELMS FARM, PART II
Yep, another one: TOM NELMS FARM, PART II By Wilton Strickland On the dirt road where we lived in 1941, '42 and '43 was a small, red clay hill. I think not only I, a boy of only 6 to 9 then, but the entire family dreaded having to travel this part of the dirt road from our house out the paved road when it was wet. The hill seemed quite steep to a little boy - it was especially steep and long after a little rain or snow. Deep ruts of slippery, red clay made this part of the road especially hard to navigate, even for the most skillful and experienced driver. My brother, Carson, 15 to 17, was usually our driver. (Though Daddy had cars and drove during the teens and '20's, I never saw him drive. Carson or W. B. (William Berry, Jr.) was always our family driver while I was a child.) Carson would try to give the little Ford a good running start before getting to the worst of the red mud and try to make it over the crest, slipping and sliding (sometimes violently) from one side to the other without going into the ditch. The trick was to have just the right momentum to make it over the hill without having to apply so much power to cause the rear wheels to spin excessively, sending the car out of control. Daddy always occupied the right, front seat and would sit way up on the edge of his seat, leaning forward, and holding onto the lower, under-edge of the instrument panel (dashboard) as if to lighten the load and urge the car forward as we negotiated the red hill. I don't know if it were a result of Carson's skillful driving, our good luck, Daddy's expert pull on the dashboard or our strong thoughts on the matter that got us over the red hill, but of the many times slipping and sliding from one side to the other, I remember going into the ditch only once. Daddy or Carson got a neighbor with a pair of mules to pull the car back onto the road. (On a Sunday afternoon in 1995, I took Mama for a short ride along the road that used to give us such trouble. The black Mercedes glided smoothly quietly up the slight incline. I said to Mama, You feel that - 'you notice that - do you feel anything? She replied, No, I didn't feel a thing. By then, we had crested the slight incline, and I stopped, eased back down the hill and tried it again. Again, we glided smoothly and quietly up the hill. Again, I asked Mama if she noticed anything; again, her reply was negative. Finally, I said to her, That's the point - we hardly notice anything, now. Isn't it amazing the difference 50 or more years can make? Then I asked if she could remember that same hill on the family's '37 Ford during or after some rainy weather in 1942/43? Oh, my, she replied, I certainly do! The hill under the Mercedes was almost nonexistent - hardly any hill at all. The crest had been graded down and pulled into the valleys to each side of it. We rolled easily, solidly and securely on asphalt pavement, with hardly a sound nor quiver from the vehicle and the road, quite a change from the same ride on the little Ford so many years before. Whenever we forget to be thankful for improvements to our transportation system and too many other things in our lives that we take for granted, we should remember the red hills that have often impeded our way but have now been transformed by somebody's ingenuity, hard work, persistence and perseverance into hardly any hill at all.) During much of this time during World War II, certain foodstuffs and fuel were rationed. To supplement fuel for the car, Daddy and Carson often bought five gallons of gasoline and mixed two or three gallons of kerosene with it. We went down the road trailing a vortex of smoke. I made and flew many kites during our three years on this farm. I used dog fennel stalks for the kite frames, which were held together with cotton string (tobacco twine - cotton string used to attach leaves of tobacco to sticks to facilitate hanging in the curing barn). String around the perimeter of the crossed sticks completed the kite frame. The kites were covered with newspaper held in place with paste I made with flour and water. I used strips of old cloth for the tails and, of course, tobacco twine as the string. I also worked on several civil engineering projects in a small stream, the Branch, in the woods not far from the house, where I spent a lot of time playing, building dams or diverting the stream. A major lesson here was that leaves and sticks with wet, squishy mud and too much sand do not make good dams. I also carved a lot of boats and cars of pine and pine bark; also made many small boats with paddle wheels powered by rubber bands cut from discarded car tire inner tubes. I also played a lot with a baseball that I made by wrapping tobacco twine tightly around a small rubber ball I found somewhere - probably a jack rock (jacks) ball. To put a first class cover on my homemade balls, I

Re: [MBZ] SOT (somewhat OT): TOyota share its patents.
The larger problem is storage. Hydrogen is not dense so any usable amount requires ridiculously huge tanks, ridiculously low temperatures, ridiculously high pressures, or non-gaseous form (like a metal hydride) that must be converted back into gas. You really need to run the numbers on these schemes and account for all the inefficiencies (and waste products) at every step of the process from initial energy source (like solar) through final energy delivery (like proplusion). -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Jim Cathey via Mercedes Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2015 3:41 PM To: Mitch Haley; Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] SOT (somewhat OT): TOyota share its patents.

Nope. Not that I know of.

[MBZ] OT: Heat Pump Defrost Setting
I have two (budget) heat pumps with simple defrost controls: a thermostat on the coil and a timer. The defrost setting on the 2 ton Payne unit is set to 90 minutes and on the 3 ton Maytag unit it's set to 30 minutes. These are both the factory settings. The Maytag unit does seem to defrost a lot and the Payne unit did have a lot of ice (on one side) one time after an ice storm last year. I live in the NC Piedmont near the town of Kittrell Knowing the wealth of knowledge on this list, I thought I'd ask for recommendations on these defrost settings. They are easy e3nough to change. Is 60 minutes a good compromise?
