I thought copper wire would be too soft, and the welding rod was closer . .
.
It is copper coated (just barely).

The farm machinery doesn't use glow plugs.

Ether and glow plugs are a BAD IDEA!!  Keep them apart!

If you feel you must use ether, unplug the glow plugs first.

Kaleb,
What are you doing with a cheap ($400) garbage disposal? Should be at 
least twice that and probably a Bosch to match the DW. I don't know if 
I'm just lucky or what but my disposal and DW are still going since 
1999 when I built my house. And the DW is a Maytag, but I don't 
remember the disposal, GE maybe?
Now to the serious side, can't you just put in some drano or some 
sort, after all, it cleans hair clogs in the other drain lines?

Good luck and best wishes,
Roger

Re: [MBZ] so much for rock auto

[clay via Mercedes]

I left the SDL with #1 boy so he could get to work while I drove his jeep back. 
 ND mornings are dang cold.  He said it was not happy, but did light off at 
-13f after four glows.  Might have been winter diesel, but the oil was standard 
15-50, and no additives to the tank to compensate for gelling.

[MBZ] Hallucination Express

[clay via Mercedes]

List may be aware that #1 boy screwed up his W140 and SWMBA conned him into 
getting a 06 jeep.  Kid drove over from ND to visit mid Feb and when he tried 
to go home, his cheep threw all manner of codes and CEL.

The only viable way to get him back to where he needed was to drive.  My w220 
is a turd and broken, so that was not an option.  Not going to be able to drive 
the R107, and the w126 SD was not registered or insured.  That left the SDL.  
Poiei was viewed by many here as a less than viable option to do a 1200 mile 
trip within 22 hours.  I thought she was the only option.

We had to get his guns and some stuff out of the cherokee and we took off.  I 
pulled the first shift.  We left 2/22 at 1800 hrs out of Seattle and hit 
Spokane for a fill up.  The Idaho passes were a bear, as was the first MT pass. 
 Snow and snot in the dark.   We did 12 hours of blasting along in the dark, 
and got to ND a bit past lunch.   I think we were doing at least 550 per tank.

I played visiting dad for less than 48 hours before taking the Amtrak back to 
SEA.  That was a disaster, as the train broke down in Spokane over night.  By 
the time I got back to SEA, I was hallucinating and it was 1700 Sunday.  Train 
left ND at 1050 Saturday.  The chickens were pissed at me for abandoning them 
for five days.  

The Chrysler dealer fixed the jeep Saturday, and I really wanted to get it out 
of town and get a drivable car back home.  Plan was to leave SEA with it as 
early Monday as I could, but the surprise snow slowed me down.  I was able to 
register the ’82 SD, grab the cluster out of the s430 from my indy to send to 
Beckmann to rebuild, and pick up the jeep.  That would have been a noon 
departure, but a tanker rolled over on I-5 at I-90 and closed the region down 
for hours.  I was able to get back roads onto I-90 and picked up my older 
cousin as co-pilot just short of Spokane.

We drove through Hell through Idaho and almost to Butte.  Close to white out 
conditions and sloppy slush.  Once over the Continental Divide it got better.   
 WE pulled into Williston before 1100 local time,  On the drive out, my shoes 
went through an entropy zone and the soles dissolved.  It was like walking 
around with lace up flip flops or a duck stuck in the mud.   I scored some 
cheep chinee shoo and tossed our overnight bags from the jeep into Polei.  Time 
enough to piddle and we struck out on the freeway home.  

Weather reports were calling for snow west of the Rockies.  Luck was with us 
and we had dry roads and sunshine.  

On the trip out, the SDL had working blinkers, speedo, lights.  On the return 
trip, the speedo was working, but the blinkers were not, and the engine began 
eating oil.  I am  not sure how we made it out there with no oil loss, but I 
was adding quarts every few hundred miles.   Granted speeds were up in the 
80-90 mph range and going up hills and passes.   I figured it was the high 
speed and oil was not getting back to the pan.   A bunch more miles and I 
thought it might be the 730 cap I put on instead of the black plastic that 
creates a near vacuum seal.   It could be cooking out the top.  When I pulled 
in to fuel up, I noticed black oil drops.  That would mean the patch on the pan 
is failing.  I will need to remove the epoxy glop and put a better patch on.

The drivers were doing fine until we got to Butte.  No fuel, just piddle stop 
and driver swap.  Nobody had been getting decent naps either to ND or in the 
six hours out.  I was driving that stretch and 30 miles out of Missoula I was 
less than spectacular.  Cousin noticed and took over.  He got us to the fuel 
stop, got us giant coffee plasma to wake us up and I got us to Idaho.   Cousin 
did the rest of the drive and got us to his place at 0200 Wednesday. The last 
hour was more hallucinations.  Old guys should not drive extended periods with 
no rest.

I put a few hours asleep and got up at 0930 for some breakfast and catching up 
with family.  I got back on the road by 1100 and back to SEA by 1520.  I got 
the chickens fed and watered, crawled into bed and woke up 3/2 at 1500.

I think a dog and a compost pile makes for less maintenance than a

[MBZ] OT garbage disposals

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So when I redid the plumbing under the kitchen since with the install of the 
Bosch dishwasher i installed the biggest most powerful garbage disposal I could 
find that also supposedly self clears jams. It can chop up anything, put bones 
down it, will chop them up no problem. For some unknown and unexplained reason 
the wife decided to dump the used rainbow vacuum cleaner water down in and 
managed to jam it up tight. Not really sure what she was thinking. I can only 
assume it's got a big mess of hair out of the carpet wrapped tight around the 
blades or small rocks or something. Of course the tool that comes with it to 
manually crank it back and forth is missing. Lord help me.

Now that's a really neat idea.

I have a key case with exactly the same kind of "holders" with exactly
the same kind of problem.

I have opened them and bent them so it requires more force to close them,

Re: [MBZ] Powder Coating?

[MG via Mercedes]

First time I went there last Feb to ask about doing my wheels 
they told me it would be September before they would have time to 
do them. When I went in the middle of September they said they 
don't do wheels.

I think it was $15 or less.  I created an account, but after placing the order 
I can't see how to view the order.

I'll check the spam email magnet I used, see if they emailed the confirmation.

there might be a terrorist inside. 
We could get in the coffin and check it as luggage, but I understand it gets 
pretty cold in the bottom of those airliners.
Finally I remembered IKEA which was bound to have a coffin kit for us DIYers, 
and here it is:


IKEA to Launch “Ready to Assemble” Casket.

"The Swedish multi-national furniture company – IKEA claims to offer huge 
savings to the average cost of a family funeral with the introduction of a new 
plywood flat pack coffin. Their new self-assembly coffin arrives in 12 ‘ready 
to assemble’ components and can easily be assembled in ‘less than 1 hour’ by 
bereaving relatives.

‘I found it really helped to take my mind off matters’ said grieving Malcolm 
Baker, 25 (grandson of the deceased). ‘I felt tearful when I began opening the 
flat pack packaging and slowly started to work out what needed to be done. 
But once I got started, by the second hour I was shouting and swearing and 
kicking the tools around the living room. ‘When the coffin was eventually 
placed into the ground, it broke into pieces and the relatives started throwing 
clods of dirt at me for doing such a poor job of assembly.’

However, other families welcome the massive financial saving that the flat pack 
coffin delivers. ‘We hoped to save money buying a casket for our grandfather 
because he wasn’t liked much by the family’ said Nellie Williams, 32 from 
Cardiff. ‘We made him assemble the coffin himself before he died. It actually 
took him 2.5 days. On reflection though, we think it may have been what made 
him croak.'

If you have an AC leak detector / sniffer, it should also detect a natural

[MBZ] I want this car

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

1969 Ford Thunderbird sedan with suicide doors and power windows on BAT.
Original owner's son with all the records.  Is there such a thing as a
collectible US sedan?  If so, then the final "hammer" price will exceed
$10k.

If a leak was big enough for that bill the house would have exploded by now. I 
called them they were no help.

Re: [MBZ] Natural gas

A friend of mine was getting a "service charge" for not using enough gas. He 
added a billiard room to his basement along with a gas heater to keep it 
comfortable and with the added gas use his bill actually went down...

"should have had a Florida title" BS...  I really don't "need" a parts car,
yet, but am just planning for the future when they are even more scarce.

If anyone has a parts wagon in their area that is worth looking at, let me
know.  Diamond blue, with Blue interior preferred, but not necessarily
required.  IF it is awesome enough, I certainly would have it shipped to
me.  Clear title a must! hahaha!

Good idea!

I like the option of having your funeral before you die. Send out a death 
notice to your friends and enemies. Everybody comes. You're lying in the casket 
with the lid slightly open for air. The preacher talks about all your good 
qualities and sends your spirit on its way. A hymn is sung and the service is 
over.
Then you very slowly push up the creaking lid of the casket and sit up with a 
smile on your face which has been painted a deathly white. Your friends will 
not be surprised since they already know you're a joker, but some of your 
enemies will collapse in fear and loathing and the funeral home will get more 
business.
Then everyone goes off to a pre-arranged feast at a bar-restaurant where you'll 
hear many drunken eulogies from your friends while your enemies skulk in the 
corner.
Why shouldn't the person who is the object of these festivities enjoy them as 
well? It's never made much sense to me.

while drawing their blood. 
How did we get on this topic? Sheesh!
