Good used visors are getting scarce.  I purchased a blue mirror insert and

A replacement seems like the best idea.

Swapping the Continental for the Becker is a very good indication that it has 
failed.

[MBZ] Starter up?

[Fred Moir via Mercedes]

1985 300TD 140-ish k mi.

Well she runs!

Took out the starter earlier this week, took a couple of days off, fixed the 
starter last night and installed between rain showers today.

Installed battery, checked oil water etc, put oil in the filter housing and 
turned the key, half a turn and running smooth!

Four years since last start. I am delighted, even start-led. (that one's for 
Joel.)

The problem with the starter was weird. The solenoid was stuck with some kind 
of congealed goo. cleaned and polished everything and checked again.

The solenoid armature was seemingly scored, until polished with some fine 
crocus paper, so  I polished inside the coil, brass or brass-ish lined, and the 
fit was perfect.

Reassembled and tested good.

I am now officially knackered and off to supper and the british who-dunnit on 
PBS.

Can I mention them?

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the myriad tips and 
tricks offered on this list. The various voices ran through my mind as The Job 
progressed and I am sure that had there not been all of that freely given 
advice I'd be missing a lot more skin.

Thank you!

Re: [MBZ] OT refrigerators

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Here, a 20 lb. bag of ice cubes costs $2.00 ... on the desert, ice is king,
so having plenty on hand is important. I solve that issue by simply buying
as many 20 lb bags as will fit in the chest freezer. To make better use of
the space, and the ice, I break down the 20 lb. bags into plastic grocery
bags of ice cubes [about 5 lbs. each] simply tie the flaps to keep cubes
contained and stuff them around the other items in the freezer.

Need to ice down the cooler, bring out as much as needed, done deal.
Replenish stock as necessary.. it is a win/win because the freezer, full of
ice runs less often, than if it has empty space.  Through the course of the
summer "ice me" season, I may spend $100 total for ice.. which is less than
the cost of an ice maker, a new fridge, or the cost of running a fridge to
make ice..

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mitch & Liberty's Last Stand

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Ironic, indeed.

Still... as civilized as we claim to be, there must always be a balance of
equal power between Citizens.

When Citizens use government to hold power over other Citizens, throughout
history, those Citizens have taken violent action against both government
and those Citizens under the mantle of government forcing them to do
something they don't want to do.

This country's founding fathers understood that very well, having just cast
off the absolute power of a King, violently. Thus the basis for 2nd
Amendment, which has the meaning and intent to provide a means to
ultimately push back, with deadly force, those who overstep their assigned
and limited powers.

Of everyone alive today, most qualify as "violence virgins". Only a small
segment of the Citizens of USA have ever experienced being on the down
range end of rifle fire, or violent actions.  Most truly believe "it can't
happen to me, not here"... and thus die surprised that it does.

In this country, like in no other, we are given the responsibility to
exercise one of TWO methods of keeping a government in balance.

First is the VOTE.. this has worked over the past 240 years with some
reliability, until recently, when there has arisen the professional
politician, who much like King George, began acting like they had been
granted absolute power over the Citizen. Concurrent with the professional
politician, came the apathetic voter, who allowed his power to be taken
from him by the politician under the color of government.

Second is the Force of Arms: Over the past 240 years, this has been used
once, in the War of Northern Aggression AKA "Civil War". During that event,
more died, per capita, than in any other war. No family in America was
untouched by the violence of Citizen against Citizen. The history of that
event has been re-written to say it was all about slavery. It was not. A
careful review of the events before the Civil War will show it was about
Citizens using the color of government to force other Citizens to give up
States Rights and self government, instead by using the force of government
to remove those rights.
Very parallel to what we are seeing in today's political environment.

The takeaway I have from this is:
Government has the responsibility to conduct it's self within the limits
given.
Citizens have the responsibility to conduct themselves within the limits of
ordered and civil society.

Both of those require a moral character for both the individuals, and those
individuals who wear the mantle of government.

Ironic, isn't it... The farther we get away from the rule that says "Do
unto others as you would have them do unto you." the closer we need to be
to it.

"Violence is always the course of last resort, until it becomes the first
resort."

Respectfully,
Grant...

The ice maker in our side by side 8 year old Kitchenaid has a lot of anger
issues - hurls the ice so that half ends up on the floor.  Otherwise, we
like it.

[MBZ] sun visors

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

My new 240D has the lighted vanity mirrors, both of which are broken.  I 
have started looking for replacements and have noticed sellers selling 
just the vanity mirror section and not the whole visor.  I have never 
really paid much attention to these before but can just the center part 
be replaced?  How is it removed and held in?  I have seen several 
advertised and fitting 123 and 126 etc.  Is the mirror part the same?

It seems odd to me to spend a bunch extra on an ice maker which will cost more 
to have when I could just make it myself

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mitch & Liberty's Last Stand

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

Conceptually it seems hard to distinguish this Dallas action, which was
horrific, from the sort of thing the second amendment was meant to protect.
Once you accept that firearms are a legitimate way to settle grievances
with the government, it becomes a slippery slope.

A second observation is that Facebook live streaming is going to change
policing dramatically. The police need their own cameras, and they need
better tools than guns to subdue people.

Mike Vanderboegh is on his death bed.  I'm surprised he lived to see
Independence Day one more time.

Here's what he looked like six weeks ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAh-kecVoUE


His unfinished book, "Absolved", might be wrapped up by his son Matt and
brought to market by Christmas, but IIRC, Mike said he'd get it done
himself by Christmas, back in 2009 or 2010, and it obviously didn't happen.
Apparently the whole thing's been written for years, just needs editing for
publication.

In Chapter 28, he brings up the IRA's tactic of fighting fire with fire,
literally. If the British set fire to an Irish Republican's home, the IRA
would set fire to two British homes.

http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2009/11/absolved-chapter-28-nemesis-six.html

I hope that what we saw in Dallas last night is not the beginning of
something like that, cops shoot  a couple of black guys, then blacks shoot
ten cops...


Mike meant Absolved to be a warning to all as to what another civil war
would look like.

John Ross' 1996 novel "Unintended Consequences" helped inspire it.

https://www.amazon.com/Unintended-Consequences-John-Ross/dp/1888118040


Other works in that genre include Matt Bracken's "Enemies Trilogy".
