So the other house has natural gas and house has been vacant. I only 
had gas turned on for the last 2 months. Hot water heater is turned 
all the way down and furnace was set at 60 the first month. Bill for 
this vacant house was only about $50 a month less than the house we 
live in which is total electric. Around $120 for gas for an empty 
house. The bill for this house running heat pump during the coldest 
part of winter so far was about $180. So the 2nd month I turned off 
the furnace completely so the only thing running is water heater on 
low, that bill was only about 5-6 less. I think the gas company has a 
con job going on.

Re: [MBZ] Powder Coating?

I just had my Rial wheels redone. The original powder coat was 
from the early 80's and was starting to wear away to an undercoat 
in some places but no scrapes or pealing anywhere. I hope the new 
stuff lasts at least half of that. They look very nice now.

How well does it stand up? Scratch/gouge resistance? Solar UV exposure?

[MBZ] Natural gas

So the other house has natural gas and house has been vacant. I only had gas 
turned on for the last 2 months. Hot water heater is turned all the way down 
and furnace was set at 60 the first month. Bill for this vacant house was only 
about $50 a month less than the house we live in which is total electric.

If it's leaking then take it back and have them give you a new one. It

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[MG via Mercedes]

Make sure you get it all notarized. Even with that I would still 
have him get a title and then transfer it to you. I think there 
is a penalty to be paid because it wasn't titled in Fl right 
away. Offer him $500 as is with the title the way it is or $2000 
with a good Fl title.

Well, Ja.   But why not take yer own measurements and design yer own?   
I've never paid for plans for anything!   I have an Ames Draft-Pak, will 
travel.


Designed my own house, garage, trusses, stairs, spiral/combo stairs, 
commercial building, 70 gal/squeeze cider press and a bunch of other 
things i've forgotten about.


I was forced once, however, by the state of HI to get an engineer's 
stamp on a set of drawings to assemble an industrial mezzanine.  They 
did not respect the stamp of da haole guy who did da engine-erroring.


If you are DIY, you won't need to buy any plans.

ayup!  Right there with shysters.

One way to keep em from cheating you is to BYOC.  (BYO casket)  Buy 
one here, and the local FD can't rip you off. http://trappistcaskets.com
And, the $$$ goes to a good cause, not buying a bigger boat or plane

When my mom died in 06 they had funeral insurance with the local 
funeral home.  You buy a policy for an amount like $10k or so then all 
the funeral stuff is done with that, casket, the service, embalming, 
transport, whatever.  So a few months later I am sorting through all 
the estate stuff, and I find this other insurance policy for $10k, no 
idea what it is.  So I call up the insco to find out, I have to send 
them paperwork so a coupla weeks later I get a call from them saying 
they paid the funeral home with the proceeds.  I told the girl my mom 
had a policy specifically for that, why did they pay this to the 
funeral home. She says well they called and said they needed to get 
paid for the funeral.  Keep in mind as far as I knew they were not on 
this policy, my dad was the beneficiary.  The girl had no idea why 
they had done that, there was no real record of it and however it 
sorted out.  I didn't even know she had this policy, it was something 
she bought ages ago.  WTF?


So I call this woman I had dealt with at the funeral home, she was no 
longer there and I get the runaround.  So I call my auntie, who knows 
everyone in this little town, and she gets me the name of the head guy 
over there.  So I ring him up, explain the situation, where is this 
money?  He claims not to know anything about it but will check and get 
back to me.  A week later no call, so I ring him back, finally reach 
him, and he hems and haws and yeah they should not have got that money 
as there was another policy specifically for the funeral.  He never 
could explain exactly what happened but it was pretty clear I busted 
him and his little scam.  I suggested I would have my dad's lawyer and 
the county prosecutor (I had dealt with her extensively related to 
another situation of people ripping them off) discuss the matter with 
him, and OBTW how much exactly did that funeral cost and how much was 
that other policy?  A few days later I get a check for like $17k which 
included however much that policy was worth and the leftover from the 
funeral costs.  So basically this outfit was a bunch of damned 
thieves, tried to rip me/my dad off for $17k.  I got to thinking about 
how many other people they probably scammed like that, no one would 
really ever know unless they did a really detailed study of all the 
dead person's papers and such to figure it all out.  My parents's 
stuff was a complete mess, so it was kinda happenstance I found this 
policy and then chased it down.

Indiana University has a whole program ( 
https://medicine.iu.edu/give/body-donation/ ) dedicated to the 
donation and handling of human bodies for medical research. We had a 
guy assigned to us that was in contact with us through the whole 
process. He even got to wail on the funeral director who picked up my 
Mom’s body from the care facility then more or less held her hostage 
for the costs of transporting and storing her. This guy was the 
“designated” funeral home for the facility and they called him first 
instead of calling the people at IU like they were supposed to. He 
refused to release her body unless we paid his costs ($350) for 
removal and transportation.


We immediately contacted our guy at IU. All we know is that the guy 
from IU went down and saw the funeral director face to face and within 
minutes her body was being transported to IU like it should have been 
to begin with.


I talked to a high school buddy of mine who runs a funeral home in the 
same area about it and he knew about this particular guy and his 
business. Apparently he was known for pulling stunts like this. He 
said that the IU people probably suggested that he wouldn’t like a

Re: [MBZ] Senior living

Or at Costco:

https://www.costco.com/funeral.html

Buddy I grew up with dad was a Lutheran minister.  He was also a woodworker, so 
we got along great and were often swapping info and tools.  He built his own 
casket and fashioned it like a low table, so it could be of use in their home 
until needed.

He was in really good physical shape, not an ounce of fat on his body.  The 
church had a Thursday night basketball league we all played in (you could be a 
Catholic and play in it, too, as they needed the dudes.) So one night there are 
two games going on in the gym at the church, and all the sudden we’re looking 
over from the far court and there’s a big commotion under one of the baskets.  
Minister was driving in for a layup, went up, came down, collapsed on the 
floor.  Probably dead when he hit it from an aneurysm.  Blew out an artery.  
Sucks.

Saw the casket in use the next week.

Re: [MBZ] Swamp buggy

I've seen Ray's many times, but never could figger out how to get 
there.  The old service roads are gone, and Rays is trapped between I-55 
and I-40.

No, but next time you are through there you need to find Ray's BBQ 
joint and pop in for some pig.  I first found him driving through 
there when I stopped for gas right off the road there, could smell Q 
and I was hungry, asked some guy at the next pump where that was 
coming from, he showed me 2 buildings over.  I would stop there every 
few months and Ray always remembered me, we would chat.  Stopped by 
once and the building was gone, had burned down, so I went to a little 
place across the road and someone in there told me he had a new place 
but i did not have time to go to it.  Have not been back through there 
in years.

Re: [MBZ] Senior living

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Indiana University has a whole program ( 
https://medicine.iu.edu/give/body-donation/ ) dedicated to the donation and 
handling of human bodies for medical research.  We had a guy assigned to us 
that was in contact with us through the whole process.  He even got to wail on 
the funeral director who picked up my Mom’s body from the care facility then 
more or less held her hostage for the costs of transporting and storing her. 
This guy was the “designated” funeral home for the facility and they called him 
first instead of calling the people at IU like they were supposed to.  He 
refused to release her body unless we paid his costs ($350) for removal and 
transportation.

We immediately contacted our guy at IU.  All we know is that the guy from IU 
went down and saw the funeral director face to face and within minutes her body 
was being transported to IU like it should have been to begin with.

I talked to a high school buddy of mine who runs a funeral home in the same 
area about it and he knew about this particular guy and his business.  
Apparently he was known for pulling stunts like this.  He said that the IU 
people probably suggested that he wouldn’t like a complaint to the state about 
his practices as he had been busted and fined for similar infractions in the 
past.

My other grandmother (not the one mentioned earlier) had all sorts of celebrity 
friends somehow. Anyway she was friends with the Bush's and had Barbara come 
visit her classroom in Tulsa when she was 1st lady. Was a big big deal at the 
time around here. Grandma was specialized in special ed back when special ed 
was a new thing and helped come up with a lot of the programs and such.

Re: [MBZ] Yer all banned!

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

A guy I worked with, a casual work friend, had a wife who ran the 
Situation Room in the White House (the underground bunker).  She saw him 
frequently, and my buddy and her occasionally got invited to have supper 
with him and Nancy, just a low-key evening, friends sort of thing, in 
their private part of the WH.  (he kept that fairly DL but some of us 
knew and just sorta kept it to ourselves)  RR did that with WH staff he 
liked, he was apparently a very personable friendly guy and was very 
good with his colleagues.  I made mention of that observation at the 
time, and I was told very emphatically that was not the case, coming 
straight from someone(s) who knew him pretty well.  Another friend's 
wife was on the Natl Security staff and saw him occasionally, less 
frequently, and basically had the same observation.

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

Did they write in the current owners name in the title as the buyer to transfer 
it to? If so he needs to get the title in his name. If the person is named on 
the title now just signed it and the buyers space is blank, then all you have 
to do is put your name in as the buyer.

Re: [MBZ] Compressor WUZ: Floors are done

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I'm still undecided if I killed my compressor or not. Last fall I got thinking 
that I maybe ought to change the oil in it since it'd been almost a year with 
the first change of oil.FLAPS had $10/qt compressor oil or $3/qt 30wt 
non-detergent. I put in the latter but the compressor made a noise I didn't 
like and got harder to start. I ordered some Redline compressor oil that runs 
$20/qt, when I drained the old oil it came out with a silver metallic sheen. 
The "bad" noise is still there and its still more difficult to start than it 
should be. I'll change it again this summer but I'm not super confident.
Once its running it seems to work okay though.

Re: [MBZ] Senior living

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I came into this world kicking and screaming, unable to speak or walk,
nearly blind, pooping myself, without a penny to my name, hungry, and
covered in someone Else's blood.

I plan to leave the same way.

Any questions?  ;))

Served as guardian for my Aunt from age 82 when she could no longer live by
herself in her own home until age 97 when she passed.. Started with an
assisted living center that was a basically a nice 1 bed apartment, with
nursing staff and meals, laundry service, etc.. at $3,000 a month, as her
health declined that graduated to more care and more monthly expense in an
almost geometric scale.. last 3 years was full hospital style care, and,
depending on medical needs for a particular month, ran from a low of $8,000
per to a bit over $10,000 per month.

Since no one knows for sure how long those "last years" will last, plan
ahead carefully, and remember those relatives that pissed you off every
year at Thanksgiving dinner? There are the ones who will be making
decisions about your quality of life at the end.. [ouch?].

I had a similar issue with my 1962 300SE that came out of California.  And all 
I can say is that if you haven’t ever dealt with the CA DMV, you’re a very, 
very lucky person.

I walked into the Florida tax collector’s office with a bill of sale and a 
letter from the attorney who probated the estate the car came out of stating 
that the car was a part of an estate they had power of attorney for the owner 
and that they were conveying ownership to me.  The folks in FL couldn’t have 
cared less.  No CA title - no title in Florida.  Went back to the attorney who 
told me “tough beans” and ultimately the State of CA.  Essentially they said 
that the only way I would get a clear title was to pay the 5-6 years worth of 
non-operation fees and penalties (in person!) That was about $1800 at the time. 
 Yeah.

I ended up paying about $500 to a company in Alabama that washed the title and 
sent me a clean AL title in my name.  Walked into the FL tax collectors office 
the next week and walked out with a FL title and registration.

Re: [MBZ] Floors are done

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

Some things are better than others. Not HF specifically, but I have been 
unhappy with air tools in several cases and replaced them with brand 
name products. I have a big framing nailer that never worked the way I 
thought it should and replaced it with a Paslode which is night and day 
better. Similarly with a hardwood flooring nailer. I had a clone that 
just caused me trouble. I swapped it for a Bostich and no more issues. 
The new one never misses a beat. It cost a lot more than the clone but 
was worth it as it is a pain when nails do not set right and one has to 
either pull them out or drive them further in with a punch. I just 
replaced a 16 ga finishing nailer with a DeWalt unit too and am happy 
with it as well. On the other hand, I have a couple of the little 18 ga 
finish nailers that are no name and they work fine.


I have no issue with sockets and wrenches from the far east. Their 
quality has improved greatly in the past 10 years or so and the ones 
that I have acquired are fine. The finish on them is now much better 
than it once was.


I don't think I have any no name electric tools but I know folks that do 
and some of them have been very good too. Some have not.

Yeah, this has all sorts of butthurt all over it.  Florida isn’t going to let 
him off the hook on this because they want their pound of flesh.  You can do 
“pass through” titles in Florida but only by dealers that I know of.  Otherwise 
you’ve got to title and register the car within the statutory time frame (30 
days?) or the owner has to pay big penalties.

I don’t see how this guy thinks he’s going to unload the car without a valid 
Florida title.  Florida is a lot like CA in the way that it gets its claws into 
the transaction whether you like it or not.

In some states if theres a significant delay between when the title was signed

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

You need to tell him he has to do it or he can't even sell it for 
scrap.  The junkyards need a clean title in the current owner's name.

I will call the DMV this afternoon. There is a Carolina title, just still
in the previous owners name, but signed over and ready to go. If it looks
bad at all I am going to pass. Thanks Dan!

Curley, I will email him back and ask if he will do that but if he didn't
do it in the past 2 years, no reason to expect him to get off his rump and
do it now...

If you "skip a generation" then you have to be sure the title does not

with the bill of sale, you might be ok, unless you need to show a bill 
of sale for tax purposes, in which case the bill of sale seller needs to

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’m not sure what Florida will do if there is no title.  If the car was exempt 
from a title in the Carolinas it might not matter.  What’s going to happen is 
that Florida is going to look up the VIN and see where it’s from and who’s 
shown as the owner.  If that doesn’t match what you have you’re going to have 
trouble.

The alternative is to have the title “washed” by one of the title services you 
see listed in Hemmings and other places that deal in classic and vintage cars. 
It will probably cost you a good $1000 to do.

If you have the time you might want to call the tax collector’s office in your 
county and talk to someone about it.  If you go into the tax collector cold 
you’re liable to come out without a title and be very unhappy.

Dan - been there, done that in Florida

Re: [MBZ] Senior living

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Just remember what DBV says:  It’s all in your genes.

My Mom lived into her mid 80s but the last 3-4 years she was in an assisted 
living facility, which is just a fancy name for a nursing home where you can 
still pretty much care for yourself.

She didn’t have dime to her name, but most facilities will take a certain 
number of Medicare patients to comply with accreditations, I believe.  Mom was 
super anti-social as she aged, and went through roommates left and right.  We 
kept telling her that Medicare wouldn’t pay for a single/private room, but I’m 
pretty sure she kept being a PITA to anyone she was paired up with just to get 
her own room.  After about a year of this they finally relented and gave her a 
private room.

When my brother set her up there he pretty much had to sign over her Social 
Security in total to the facility.  They took it all for her room and board and 
I think she got to keep like $50 of it that went into a sort of commissary fund 
so she could buy stuff in their little “store”.

Mom went in her sleep one night, which was great - we should all go that way - 
and other than being a curmudgeon was pretty sharp until the end.

On a related note, she willed her body to science, more specifically, to 
Indiana University’s School of Medicine.  She had made the arrangements years 
ago, and was very clear that this was what she wanted. The claimed her body 
before any of us could see her and that was it.  They don’t tell you what they 
do with the remains, but when they’re done with them they cremate them and then 
either return the “cremains” to the family or bury them in a common crypt in 
Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.

It’s a really cool thing that they do - once a year they have a 
non-denominational memorial service for all the families of the donors on 
campus that is mandatory for all first year medical students to attend.  Then 
they take the cremains to Crown Hill and inter them in an area set aside for 
those who have donated their bodies to science and hold a graveside ceremony as 
well.  really nice way to memorialize these folks and honor the families as 
well.

And personally, I like the Inuit thing - when you get old they put you on an 
ice floe and let you drift away...

Re: [MBZ] Senior living

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

My MIL had bought Long Term Care (LTC) insurance which covered the 5K/mo. cost 
of a small elder care home just a few minutes away from our house. The family 
farm remained intact and was passed on to my wife and her siblings as a result. 
My MIL was cared for extremely well by the lovely family who ran this excellent 
facility. In our area the majority of these family run homes are operated by 
Romanian immigrants, who thus make a substantial contribution to the community, 
work very hard, and in doing so create substantial wealth for their families 
quickly.

Re: [MBZ] Senior living

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

a way to print money around small towns is to find a 4-5 BR ranch house, 
find team of nurses married to each other  then find 4-5 old ladies who 
need communal living.  rent the rooms in the big house for a thou a 
month less than the big places, give the nurses free housing and 50k a 
year, pay a little upkeep as needed and pocket a bunch o money.  Nurses 
prep and serve meals, make sure everyone takes the appropriate drugs, 
and are on call 24/7 in case one of the renters needs help.


Next time your house is vacant, add a couple BR and give it a shot.!

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Kyle Arola via Mercedes]

UPDATE:

Current owner has no problem providing me with a bill of sale with his data
on it.  I feel moderately better about this now.  Meeting on for Saturday
morning if the wagon doesn't sell before that.  I cannot imagine that it
will but you never know...

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

The problem is the current "owner" has the title, in the previous owners
name.  Never transferred to his ownership in Florida.  He is telling me
that I just "pretend" that I just purchased the car from the Carolina
dude.  I don't know if the Carolina (north or south I do not know) title
has a date on it or not, I just hate when people do things like this
half-assed.  I replied to Jerry that I would expect a bill of sale from him
regardless of the state of the title.  I do not want to drive home with a

Re: [MBZ] Floors are done

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I've had 2, one I murdered by forgetting to add oil. The other I may have 
murdered by using cheap oil. It doesn't like to start if its even slightly cold 
now. Might take the cover off and clean it and see if that helps.
They're cheap though and a good entry to air tools if you don't use them a lot. 
I love having a compressor and a long air hose. Oh, the HF retractable air 
hoses are nice too.

Re: [MBZ] Senior living

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Yeah that is how it usually works, docs want to do some procedure, or 
there is some injury, and it goes downhill fast.  My mom had gall 
bladder surgery, she lasted about a week after that. My dad had that 
done too, which is what ended up landing him in the NH as he decided he 
wasn't going to do any rehab to get back to the ALC so that was that, 
now he just lies in the bed and watches TV, does nothing else.  Not 
quite my idea of living life, but his choice.  I hate seeing all his 
money drain away to go to that place, esp when to my way of thinking he 
has no particular life, but its his money so his choice I guess.  
Nothing more I can do for him in that regard, he made his choices.

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

When I bought my 124 cabriolet, it had been abandoned at a garage and the
tow truck guy (a retired cop) went through the hassle of getting a new
title issued.  Here in SC the deal is the new "owner" sends a registered
letter to the last registered owner's address, I think the letter basically
says that if the registered owner doesn't respond in 90 days or some time
period, the state will cancel the old title and issue a new title to the
new owner.  Once the 90 days are up with no response to the state, new
owner can get a new title issued.

Check with your local sheriffs office or municipal police, they may even
have the info online.

Re: [MBZ] Senior living

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

God I can't even imagine what it must be like to have to live in a nursing home 
or alc. That is what sucks is owning property and building assets all your life 
to have it go to a nursing home in the end. I know when my grandmother was 
still alive they had to get the house out of her name and it had to be out of 
her name for a certain number of years so if she did go to a home ssi would pay 
for it, otherwise they take the house. As it turned out my father lived next 
door and took care of her for many years while his 3 other siblings lived their 
lives. She had Alzheimer's which progressed to the point she did not know who 
he was anymore she just knew my dad as the guy next door. Very very sad. I'm 
sure she did not know who I was either. Anyway it got to the point that he 
could no longer take care of her and her this point she was in the high 80's so 
he put her in some sort of center. She was there maybe 2 days, less than a week 
for sure, and somehow managed to get out and night, fell, and broke her ankle 
or leg, can't remember detail. She was sent to hospital where they did a 
surgery IIRC to repair the break, but she ended up dying a couple days later in 
the hospital.

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or 
petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the 
enemy.”
