Re: [MBZ] Bonanza

If you mention bazooka, most people think of the shoulder held "rocket" 
launcher first used in WW-2, but the very first bazooka was a horn made out of 
plumbing parts, and then out of stove pipes and a whiskey funnel and invented 
by a variety radio host named Bob Burns from Arkansas. WW-2 soldiers adopted 
the name for their "tank killer". 

Kaleb might have heard his parents or grandparents mention Bob Burns and the 
bazooka. People who heard the bazooka played said it would be more effective on 
the battle field than the army version. Since it sounded so terrible, the 
Germans would have surrendered by the hundreds.

Yes, my response was not clear - no, I sold them so that I would not have
to continue to fix them. I'm trying to put all my time into airplanes now,
hence the new cars to buy me time before I have to work on them.

He sold them to not have to be repairing them. He thought he'd buy new(er) and 
be able to devote more time to his aircraft(s).

Which is pretty much why pro mechanics drive Toyota's and Honda's. They fix 
cars all day. That's enough.

Yes, I guess that's the way to do it.

But, as I mentioned in my reply to Max, I need to take some stuff to
Shirley in Albuquerque. So I'll drive it the way it is. Afterall, the
reason I bought this car was to drive it, not to fix it.

That sounds like what Kaleb told me but I forgot. But I need to drive

Step 1: Caig deoxit on the connector at the sensor where you've been 
intermittently fixing it by wiggling it.

Step 2: trace the fault, if deoxit doesn't do it.

No, this engine has an oil filter cannister like an OM617. It's at the
rear of the engine and has a lid with a central rod which lifts off.

I have moved the connector for the oil pressure sensor at the base of the
filter and wiggled the harness which, I think, contains the wire from the
sensor to the gauge. That seems to help a little, with the gauge
sometimes bouncing from zero to pegged.

So, I think, something is wrong with the wire between the sensor and the
gauge. How that went wrong and how I might fix it are then the questions.

Like Mitch said, that sounds like the wire between the sender and the gauge is 
disconnected, or maybe the sender died?

Re: [MBZ] Now what do I do?

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Next step is remove the seat control switch (two Philips head screws).

After that, the rod that attaches to the door handle pull needs to be lifted up 
and out of its hole in the door handle.

The door handle and the plastic surround behind it can be pushed forward and 
removed.

NOW you should be able to lift the door panel up and remove.

(You did remove the door lock knob, right?)

I looked and didn't see anything -- the door speaker housing is
immediately below the armrest.


BUT I now have a more pressing problem:

I just changed the oil and filter, as well as disconnecting the battery
to clean the terminals.

When I went to start the engine, I noticed the oil pressure gauge pegged
before I had even cranked the engine.

There are two phillips head screws that go into it at an angle from below.

I trying to take the door for our E300D apart so I can replace the vacuum
actuator. When Kaleb dropped off the car and described what needed to be
done, it seemed simple.

Now that I have the door partially apart, it doesn't seem so simple and
I'm stuck.

I know enough to not pry the inner panel away from the door, like a W123,
but what to do next I cannot see.

“That’s one famous Mickey”

“Uh, Mickey Mouse.”

I suspect that most people think "TDI" = Turbo Diesel and all turbo diesels are

In fact I suspect many, if not most people think that all diesels are turbo

Re: [MBZ] more little house thoughts

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

We're thinking of the same thing, our camp sleeps 5 comfortably, 6 if two 
people share the double bed. If you've got a bunch of snorers the walls can 
shake...The attached bunkhouse is 10x12, we've talked about building a detached 
bunkhouse, probably 10x12 again, enough space for four more bunks with some 
space for bags and to sit.
I'm not sure its something we really need but Dad likes the idea, its his money 
anyway...

One of the issues would be height as if we ever wanted to haul it out of

caboose with the windows removable so that the trailer could still be 
removed if that became desirable.

Not going to happen any time soon but maybe some day if I do not just 
make it into a flatbed trailer to haul stuff. Would not be heavy duty 
enough to haul cars without a lot of extra work but to haul lesser 
items, it would be fairly doable.

I would assume so, but doing the math they come out small. 
You're not going to make 8' walls out of those for $50 a running foot as I 
usually expect. 

I'm used to seeing around $17-18 for 48x16, or 5 1/3 square feet of wall, like 
these:

I have been thinking about cutting the cord but it sounds like too much hassle. 
I just like setting things to record and watching them later. I cut my dish

watch anyway. It cut channels others in the house like. Oh well.

Re: [MBZ] Bonanza

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

What I've always found amusing was that the guy who turned me on to Ren & 
Stimpy and Bevis & Butthead was my boss at Kohler. At the time he was a 60+ 
year old guy who you would never have guessed watched this stuff. He had 
college aged kids at home who got him hooked.

I was in my 30s at the time, on the road, going to school and with two small 
kids, so my TV viewing was severely limited at the time.  If it hadn't been for 
him pointing these out to me I probably would never have seen them.

Definitely look up Cowboy Bebob and Trigun, both are for adult audiences, there 
is plenty of violence in each but its not gratuitous, it lends to the story.
Bebop in particular is probably the most "American Friendly" anime ever, they 
even made a movie and it doesn't suck. The music in both is outstanding.

For truely raunchy stuff you'd want to look at John K's stuff after Ren &

Re: [MBZ] OT Tractor/trailer trailer size

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

Good info, thanks.  I kinda like the idea of having a fairly strong 
structure already built and dry, and the dimensions are quite spacious.  
Spray some foam on the walls with a bit of furring for wiring and yer 
good ta go.  I guess if one wanted to modify it a bit, a little cutting 
and welding or riveting or something would do the trick.


I was talking to a guy a coupla months ago who has a spray foam 
business, he said he does a lot of shipping containers like that, people 
use them for shops, offices, housing, etc, he said it works out well.


The other idea was to build on the low-boy, use SIPs for construction, 
with the wings it could go to 10-12ft wide, that would be quick and easy 
to get a structure up, a lot pre-fabbed in the shop, that could be about 
the same size or even bigger than your moving van trailer.


Or go the full route like you have, get the trailer and a tractor and 
outfit it and make a space for a car or two and toys and be completely 
mobile.


Musings...

So then I was driving home and was sitting next to a semi with a
trailer that said "53ft" on the side, that is pretty big.

Yup.



So then I was thinking one of those low-floor moving van trailers would
be even better, more headroom, loft space.

Yes. The inside height of most of our 51' drop-frame furniture van is
121". The front, where the trailer attaches to the tractor's fifth wheel
is 18" less than that (103").

We have added a deck and stairs to utilize the upper volume of our
trailer, so we can have boxes above and large things (like a car)
underneath.



Containers I think are up to 40ft for a double?

Yes, and you can get "high cube" containers, which are taller than
standard containers.



And some of those equipment trailers have wings that fold out to give
maybe 12ft wide for a wide load, so that would allow a larger "tiny"
house, I guess moving it would require some permit or something but
still...

Yes, you would need an oversize permit. Most likely something 12 feet
wide would be restricted to travel during daylight hours and also require
an escort vehicle.



So that got me thinking about how tall a trailer can be, I'm thinking
maybe 12ft max to clear bridges and stuff on the road, or can they go a
bit higher?

Generally allowable height is 13' 6", though some states (like Texas)
allow them to be 14' high. Note that the driver is always responsible
for not hitting things.



I see those big trailers driving with a pace car with a  pole to
hit something before the truck would, and warn it off the bridge or
whatever.  I guess if you weren't hauling a taller "tiny" house too
far you could get by with something taller?

You could, but then you get into all the permits/escort vehicle stuff.



My lunch-time musings, but ideas accepted.  I'm wondering if there
would be a market for larger "tiny" houses built to a spec that was
much better than your average single-wide.

I don't know how one would determine the size of the market. Build it and
they will come?

That's probably not a bad price for that.  The seller is right, the value is in 
the engine.  Plus, any parts that could be salvaged from it.   I would think 
this car would be an absolute money pit if someone tried to restore it.  But, 
getting the engine and various other bits could be worth it.  Too bad it

Re: [MBZ] Bonanza

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I live less than a mile from the largest antenna farm of terrestrial stations 
on the west coast of Florida.  I believe there are no less than 60 licensed 
channels transmitting at the site, based on the work I used to do there in my 
previous career:

http://antennaweb.org/Stations?Address=Valrico%2C%20FL%2033596%2C%20United%20States=False=27.8825312=-82.2474648

In other words, I can get most of these stations in my fillings.

All jokes aside, I have a homemade bow tie dipole antenna in the closet of my 
home office that's connected to a TV card in my Mac. I can watch all sorts of 
good programming for free on my cheesegrater.

I would cut the cord in a split second, but the spouse is a hard core TV addict 
and insists on having hundreds of channels at her beck and call.  Ain't gonna 
happen.

Robert Conrad, Wild Wild West. A friend of mine has the whole series on DVD. 
He's getting me interested in Have Gun, Will Travel, and Maverick (James 
Garner). 

Poos needs to ditch cable and get an antenna.

The wife is big into mystery stuff, always has been. She gets Matlock on the 
DVR regularly.  When I see it on the TV when I'm walking through the room I do 
my best Aunt Bea voice and yell, "Andy!"

She likes watching the Investigation Discovery channel or whatever it is where 
they do the hour long shows on murders and stuff like that.  I refer to it as 
"murder porn".

Re: [MBZ] Bonanza

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

There are two channels that run on our cable system with old programming: METV 
and another channel I think is called "Decades".

METV runs most of what you list, as well as a bunch of obscure stuff. I've 
watched the Dick Cavett show on Decades a couple of times, mainly due to the 
guest he had on. One time it was George Harrison and Ravi Shankar.  It was 
pretty cool to watch, and Cavett was a good host, too.

Perry Mason is a staple in our house. I'm betting I've seen every episode at 
least twice, but they're still entertaining.  The original Bob Newhart is also 
a favorite when it's running.

If you like Lawrence Welk, you'll love this:

Speaking of Saturday morning cartoons, I loved the show that started with all 
the characters on stage singing "on with the show, this is it". That's  all I 
can remember of it. Foghorn Leghorn, Tweetie, Sylvester, Bugs and Roadrunner 
just to name a few. I have fond memories of that time in my life.   That was 
probably in the late 60's early 70's?
