They have Febi for $7.52 plus about $15 for shipping.   (Free shipping 
if you order more than $75


Their website is always very slow.  It can't find the driveshaft center 
support by the pulldown menu or the part number.  I found it by using 
keyword driveshaft.

Sure it does.  I use it all the time.

Double click to open a photo.  In the upper right hand corner of the screen is 
a button that says “Edit”.  Click that and go to town.

If you’re editing multiple photos in the same album, whne you finish editing 
one there will be arrows on each side of the photo that allow you to move to 
the next photo in the album.

Yeah, I found edit, then found out "retouch" means resize.  (Odd choice 
of descriptors)  but if I click on done after resizing, the file is 
still the same size.  When using resize, there is no indication of the 
dimensions, the number of pixels, or the file size.  There is no save or 
save as.   As with everything else EL CRAP they broke or lost what works 
and I see no improvements.  Bah!The photos started as 1.5 MB and is 
still 1.5 after "resizing."


Is there any free batch resize software for 64 bit OS 10?For the 
68040 system 7, there was a great drag and drop editor.  You just set it 
up for what you want, then you drag and drop batches of photos over the 
icon.  Bam!  Done!Editing one at a time is stupid, unless you just 
need to work on one picture.

Export the photo to a folder or your desktop.  When you export the photo you 
can choose the file size/quality.  This would apply to a group of photos if 
you’re doing a bunch of them at a time, just Command-click to choose the photos 
then go to “File > Export” and step through the choices.

That is what I did in 10.6, but in El Crap, there is no size option.  
Only jpeg, tiff etc and file name options in the first screen, in the 
second screen you can only choose where to put the exported files.  They 
are still 1.5 mb.  More breaking stuff that used to work.

I have not used it much but what about Gimp?  Free photo editor,

that too?  I have Yosetime 10.10.n on this laptop and the photo app 
("Photos") seems to work pretty much like the photo app on the desktop 
does (iPhoto?) in 10.6.8, as TheBenzerformerlyknownasPoos says. with the 
export function.

You’re not dropping down the “Photo Kind” option.  Just to the right of that 
field is a little square box with a carat in it.  Up and ou see nothing, down 
and it expands the selection to show a bunch of options for JPEG quality, color 
profile and size.

Re: [MBZ] OT I'm seeing Snook in this ABqeoUtU6E

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

IIRC, it had about 130,000 miles on it.  And I agree those engines did tend to 
need a head gasket around the mileage you suggested.  I just wasn't happy with 
the power of the car and saw an opportunity.  I don't know enough about the 3.2 
in the 140 to say whether they are strong enough.  But, it sounds like you have 
some experience with them.   My only suggestion would be to avoid the 126 with 
the 3.0.

If you recall, your indie had a really nice 300SEL for sale last year that he 
wanted too much for.

The W126 with the 3.0 liter inline six is underpowered, but it’s still a nice 
car.  The reason I like them is that the W126 V8s are so tight and difficult to 
work on I would gladly sacrifice horsepower for serviceability.  The LWB models 
are appointed better than the regular length models, too.  The 300SE was like a 
300E 2.6 - an entry level car that had a lot of options either unavailable or 
deleted.

As for your head gasket, I’m betting the engine had about 150k on the clock.  
Every M103 engine will need a head gasket between 150k-175k like clockwork.  
Valve guides, too.

I have driven the W140s with the 3.2 liter six, and they are amazingly quick.  
I drove one las year and had it out on the interstate with AC and everything 
else on, and it had no problem standing on its’ hind legs and getting out in 
front of traffic.  That did convince me that I could own/drive a six cylinder 
W140 at the time.  Those engines are pretty robust and the amount of space in 
the engine compartment makes things a lot easier when it comes to service.

I am firmly in the diesel camp any more, but if I had to buy a gasser I would 
probably lean towards a late 90s S320 for ease of service.  Yes, the W140 
chassis is pretty damned complex, but at least by going with a 97 or later 
you’re avoiding a lot of the known weaknesses of the chassis.

[MBZ] cars for sale?

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

Anybody have a cheap and reliable car for sale for around $2000?  The 
step-daughters STS may have serious problem and we may be parting ways with it.

The car is for a 16 year old that thinks that wife's SRX is too big (but she 
was happy with the STS). She cannot drive stick shift and is a little bit of a 
snob when it comes to cars.   But, I'm the stepdad not the Mom.  Actual Dad 
agrees with me that if we can find can a decent, reliable and safe car, it 
doesn't matter whether she likes it or not.I am thinking something like an 
older Taurus or Buick would be good. I suppose an older Camry, Accord, or 
Altima would be a good bet, too.

[MBZ] 'nother use for a tractor

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I needed to glue up 6 pieces of 2x lumber to make a turning blank.  I 
don't have the 6 or 8 pipe clamps needed to get it good and tight.  I 
hit on the ideaof using the floor jack against the tractor frame, but 
decided pressing against the Lift-all hydraulic pump was a better 
idea.   I jacked up the workpiece until the front end of the tractor was 
2" off the ground.   Left it like that for 2 days to cure the glue.


MB content:  the floor jack held for 2 days.  No leakdown whatsoever.   
Another reason why I trust the floor jack more than the "3 ton" little 
jackstands.   The "6 ton" jackstands have a much larger base and don't 
tip as easily as the "3 ton"If I am using the small jackstands, I 
leave the jack under too as a safety (or vice versa)

Took about 5 seconds, seemed like a week.

It was a bust here.  Wednesday it was really nasty with lots of rain.  
Yesterday, when it was supposed to be at its worst, it was actually pretty nice 
until the evening.  Last night and this morning we had a lot of rain and wind, 
but thing of any real substance.  This continued through the morning, and since 
midday it’s been sunny and pleasant.

I’ve got a lot of detritus from the trees in my back yard, but other than that 
it was a non-event.

That makes me miss my old 250! Mine was bright red with a white interior.  It 
was the only car I have ever had that people would flag me down to talk about 
it or stop me at a gas station to ask about it.

Yesterday, when it was supposed to be at its worst, it was actually

Re: [MBZ] Hermine and Floyd

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Rain stopped this morning about 9:30 after tstorming and raining most of 
the night starting at 11:30P.  I think we got some pretty good rain, the 
driveway was awash in several places at 8ish (but it has soaked down 
now).  Wind is gusty but not that strong.  Got some tree branches down 
but nothing significant, one tree lost the top which fell in the woods 
so at some point I will probably get the chainsaw after it.


Lots of detritus in the driveway, mostly just little branches from the 
pine trees that snap off if you look at them sideways.  A job for mama 
tomorrow.


One small oak down across the path along the road but it did not get 
into the road just right to the edge.  I'll probably go out in a while 
with the chainsaw and clean that up so the neighbors can walk/jog/bike 
along the road and not get into it.


I was sitting on the porch this afternoon watching the wind blow, saw a 
few branches drop.  There is a little hummingbird that has been hanging 
around the last few weeks, it was coming to the feeders and chattering 
quite loudly.  I don't think it is too happy about the storm.


Radar suggests it is mostly inland along 95 with the heaviest rain, and 
probably mostly headed up 95, I don't know about the wind.  I might go 
over to the beach in a little while to see what's going on with the 
surf.  There were idiots in the surf at Folly Beach today, one got 
washed under the pier which is VERY dangerous.


As far as getting into CLT I'm guessing it should clear through there by 
early/mid morning so unless other things get buggered up you should be 
OK unless it's a redeye in which case you would get in early, maybe 
before it clears through?

Hey, come on. If only it was green it would be pefect for you.
1. It is pre 1982.
2. It is diesel
3. It has complete records

That is what you folks always appear to be looking for.
You cannot expect all that and an under $500 price tag too.

[MBZ] cars

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

So, Donald noted a few posts back that he had owned something in excess 
of 40 vehicles over the years and had only lost $$ on a couple of them.


My record is not quite so good. I just counted up and I think I have had 
about 23 vehicles (including a couple that are essentially my wife's 
cars but not including the one's that I bought for my sons to drive, and 
not including things like motorcycles or boats - just cars and trucks) 
and have lost $$ on pretty much all of them.


Some were terrible cars (although reasonably new) and there are only 2 
that I can say I wished I still had - a 65 Mustang and a 68 Cougar.


Anyone else care to compare? Kleb probably has the most but we should 
not let him count the ones that don't run.


I currently have 4 including my wife's Honda Accord. I have the 76 300D, 
as well as my '13 F150 SC and the 08 Civic I bought from my mother this 
past winter.


I tend to keep vehicles and of the 23 in total I think that I kept 7 of 
them for 10 years or more.

It is probably changing the _print_ size - or DPI.  Which means the
image itself isn't being changed.

Look for "scale" rather than "resize".

ImageMagick is, in my opinion, the very pinnacle of batch image
processing.  But it is command line.  And I don't know how many
hoops need to be jumped to make it work in the Apple GUI...

This look promising.

GraphicConverter.  I think it's still available.

" Only reason for selling is we just have too many vehicles. If we can't 
get really close to our asking price we will just keep it."


Looks like he is going to be selling one of the other cars to make room 
for this one.

The GIMP is potent.  But it doesn't have built-in provision for
batch processing.  But one-at-a-time it can do almost anything
Photoshop can do, though often it will take a couple steps rather
than just a single menu item.

It could be available for Mac, but I don't know if there are
pre-built binaries.

I don't remember paying for Graphic Converter, but it probably was on 
the used Mac I got, or the univ. had a site license.  I used it while 
working at the Univ.  Thanks for the link.  I did not remember the 
name.  I DO remember it was real slick.

No, it's an '87.  That's POST 1982.
