Re: [MBZ] 1993 400E Stuff

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Talked to the owner again today.  Resolved a few minor questions.

Headlight wipers are in the trunk.  They got taken off for cleaning some time 
ago and didn’t get reinstalled.

For the parts I need, like window regulator, hood pad, etc., I’ve yet to find 
anything that’s more than about $50.  Amazing how cheap some of the parts are 
for this car.  Third brake light assembly completely shattered when they tried 
removing it to replace the bulb.  Yeah, I’ve seen that happen more times than I 
like.  A new one is like $125, probably the most expensive part on the car.  
And they’re only available in a couple of colors, so it will probably have to 
be painted.  Heck, a new interior rear view mirror is only $54.00 from 
Mercedes. Dang.

I have notes from years ago on a homemade FluidFilm

from http://www.plowsite.com/showthread.php?t=155136

The original formula is (by volume) 3 Lanolin, 3 Mineral
oil and 7 Mineral Spirits [paint thinner] The formula was
available on the MSDS before the current owners bought FF.

Even if it's not exactly the same as the current formula, it's
probably still quite effective.

How's that working out? I have a sprayer and some Fluid Film I am going to try 
on a couple of my rusty beaters.

I have thought about using Tectyl on any cars I bring in that are rust free for

Sure!  If it has a front loader it will be easier than a box blade.

You could do it with a shovel and a wheelbarrow - or even just a

I have one - came with DVD's and a USB headset.  They reduced the price to $29 and I

We piled up 3000 pounds of sand bags per the previous discussion- works
great. SWMBO and I went for a walk down our half-mile road while son was
shooting his .30-06. You could hear the rifle VERY well at a half mile
away, and hear the echoes from the neighboring ridges and additions - I bet
they loved it!

[MBZ] Winter 240D body maintenance

[Dimitri via Mercedes]

I have some down time so I’ve been doing some small rust repairs on the 
pastelgrau 1978 240D. Cleaning up rust around the lower door trim clip holes 
and protecting with miracle paint before replacing clips and re-attaching the 
trim. The passenger front door had a small bit of rust through at the bottom 
back corner. Not set up with my welder now so just cleaned it up, and applied 
miracle paint in combination with fiberglass. Seems to work quite well. I think 
it’s going to be a fairly permanent repair. I’ve also been spraying many of the 
body cavities and inside of door bottoms with fluid film for rust protection. 
This is a winter driver so I have to do my best to keep it from rusting to bits!

Re: [MBZ] Game with the unmentionable name

I just saw in the paper this morning that The Game is apparently on NBC 
broadcast network (I thought I saw it was on ESPN) so I guess even those 
of us with the rabbit ears can pull it in. (Unless it's raining like it 
is today which makes my rabbit ears not too good)

Re: [MBZ] OT - Morning Chuckle

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

We've got a thrower at camp, tried it out last summer with my black powder 
16ga. Worked okay but it needs to be mounted (the thrower I mean) on a heavy 
surface. Ours has spikes to go into the ground but it kept jumping. Need to

We live in what is known as the “unincorporated county”, which gives you many 
nice opportunities to conduct yourself in a manner typically reserved for the 
agricultural crowd.  That means if you have a parcel of property large enough 
(I don’t recall the exact dimensions, but it’s under 10 acres IIRC) you may 
discharge firearms at will between the hours of 9:00 am and 9:00 pm as long as 
you’re not closer to the property line than like 100 feet.

If the youngest child is successful in his desire to acquire raw land around 
here, one of the first things that will go up will be a berm for shooting 
against.  I will gladly fund that expense.

After that will be a large steel building for my shop.  With a lift.

Was going to make an early morning trip to the pistol range to try out both my 
new SA 1911 and the SKS.  Looked at the schedule for the range to see that 
there is an NCSA (sporting clays) competition this morning.  That means the 
pistol range is closed.

Why?

Re: [MBZ] Game with the unmentionable name

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

I was a #4 last year for no particular reason that I can recall. I just thought 
it would be nice to make it through game day without even knowing who was 
playing. Some morning radio jock ruined it for me the Thursday before the game. 

This year I was a bit more deliberately observant in my National Felon League 
ignoring, because of the whole "let's all protest the National Anthem because 
we don't like the President" thing. 
I was doing such a good job I didn't even think of the StupidBowl or trying to 
avoid it until about ten days ago when, once again, I heard about it on the 
radio.

Did somebody say it wasn't going to be on broadcast TV, so they have a ready 
excuse for any drop in viewer numbers? If I were an advertiser looking to spend 
millions in 30 seconds, my willingness to pay would be lowered this year, and 
lowered a lot if the game isn't broadcast.

Might be the same color as my '97, 269 tourmaline green (turmalingrün), or 
Emerald Green in MBUSA Speak.

Copper propane line?
Around here the installer buries it with a spade, chops through the sod, 
wiggles the spade a bit to make room, then chops the spade in 8" farther down 
the path...
In that case, the line will be 6-8" deep and in a pretty straight line from the 
tank to the building, if the two ends of the bury are line of sight to each 
other.
