Re: [MBZ] OT how bad could this be

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Last brake job quote I got for a Rolls ran a bit over $8,500 with the
caveat "We won't really know until we get it all opened up and order the
parts." "It could run quite a bit more."

Rolls Royce: If you have to ask what it will cost, you can't afford one...
pretty much covers.

Re: [MBZ] sheet metal glue

Oh forgot to say that I used small ductwork sheet 
metal screws. Very sharp point and short. Worked 
great.

Long-ish story, but I'm working on making a custom transisition piece
between two non-standard duct sizes. I have mocked up what I need to
make using paperboard, but for the sheet metal I'll need to connect a
few lap seams. I recall that auto panel assembly now uses some sort of
glue rather than spot welds. Is this something I can find at FLAPS or am
I better off using screws or pop-rivets? I don't have a spot welder.

And yes it needs to be sheet-metal not insulated duct board.

Re: [MBZ] People are hoarding chickens now

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Our neighbor next door has 20-30 chickens now. He started several years
ago. I dont' think he's lost any to the foxes, coyotes, skunks, possums,
raccoons, etc. recently because I haven't seen any piles of loose feathers.
They are "free range" (visiting us sometimes), though he supplements there
food with commercial antibiotic, etc, laced feed - and the eggs taste just
like the factory ones from the store. We don't get eggs from him anymore,
being pure food snobs.

    Fear of supply-chain disruptions has prompted the DIY spirit and a

    Some have brought the same thoughts to bear on the egg shortage:
    Actor Tom Holland (Spider-Man) made news when he announced this

Re: [MBZ] People are hoarding chickens now

[Clay via Mercedes]

Depends upon the breed as to egg count.  Some can max out above 320 per annum.  
Hens need light and warmth, as well as access to good food.  I had success with 
over wintered hens popping out eggs year round, but for deep cold periods and 
moulting

Re: [MBZ] sheet metal glue

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I wondered.

I just installed a tubular skylight a couple weekends ago, and used quite a bit 
of the stuff after screwing all the pieces of the ‘tube” together. Since it’s 
in an uninsulated space (attic) anywhere there’s an opening is a spot where 
dirt, dust, bugs or other stuff could get in.

And yes, since I was handling sheet metal, I definitely was wearing gloves.

Fear of supply-chain disruptions has prompted the DIY spirit and a
renewed interest in gardening, swamping online seed companies.
Some have brought the same thoughts to bear on the egg shortage:
Actor Tom Holland (Spider-Man) made news when he announced this
week he had adopted three chickens as a source of eggs. And he’s
not alone.

Diez-Canseco isn’t bullish about backyard chickens.

“We don’t think backyard flocks are great for the birds. There’s
a lot of predation,” he said. “But by all means, plant a garden.”

I did that quite regularly at Los Alamos National Laboratory when I was

You are most certainly correct -- it is quite hard and leaves one feeling
very light-headed.

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

They do, but you can often get them on demand, that is, when you want to watch 
them, or if not, you can DVR them in advance to watch later. YouTube TV has a 
very good search interface that allows you to search for stuff you like and set 
it up to record future shows or series.

Look at their web site for details.

 Clock yourself for 1 hr of TV watching, any channel or channels you choose.
 During that hour, every time an advertisement comes on, make a mark on a

 a separate advertisement.
 At the end of the hour, count up the number of marks you have recorded.. it

 For the truly industrious, use a stop watch and time the advert time vs

So shows on the history channel for example don’t play live like they do on

I’m not that knowledgeable on this model/chassis, but maybe have $1500 in hand. 
Maybe $1600?

If the repaint was done well and the seals and rubber aren’t shot, it’s 
probably worth that, I would think.

Re: [MBZ] OT how bad could this be

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I highly doubt it or I would expect there would be something about it on the 
web somewhere. It’s a common weak point you hear people gripe about any time 
Rolls Royce comes up, or so it seems. I have no idea what the deal is unless 
there’s something really unusual or unique about the brakes. You would think 
they would be something designed and engineered for RR as opposed to an off the 
shelf solution like the major manufacturers use. 

I would be curious to know just for the heck of it. Anyone out there have any 
background on RR?

Re: [MBZ] sheet metal glue

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I used self-tapping screws, metal to metal.  Cover the screw head and the
overlap joint with the proper tape.  Paint over the tape, overpaint at
least an inch onto the metal, with mastic.  Tape on the inside is not
needed.  Airtight is the goal, must use duct-rated materials.

Youtube for a video if needed.  This is non-skilled labor, except the metal
cutting part, that requires some skill.

Now:

Covid-19: 558,526 cases, 61,201 hospitalized, 22,146 deaths*

*The CDC has changed the rules for what is included in the death count, in
order to include more cases (i.e. increase the death count).

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf
"However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of
death are expected to result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause more
often than not."

In other words, it is no longer possible to make a fair comparison between
then and now.  Draw your own conclusions.

In the good news department, it appears that the number of new cases and
the number of deaths have leveled off and are starting to drop, so the
worst is now behind us.

Re: [MBZ] sheet metal glue

 Wouldn't you want the tape or mastic on the inside of the joint? Then screw it 
together. Pop rivets have holes in them and they don't pull things together. If 
you can get in there and hold the pieces they're okay but if you can't screws 
are way better...

The hard part is getting the metal duct-work pieces right.  Once you have

I completely re-made all the duct-work under my house a few years ago, was

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

We noticed that Perry Mason is on Amazon Prime, but you’ve got to pay extra for 
it. ??? I just grab the episodes off the air when it airs twice a day and 
record them on the Tablo. I’ve got a script that runs on my Plex server that 
grabs them off the Tablo and imports them into Plex. I think I have nearly five 
full seasons at this point (they did 9 seasons @about 30 episodes a season 
total.)

There are a bunch of OTA stations here that air old series, like LAFF, GRIT and 
DECADES. I think I get Bob Newhart off of DECADES. These have all those old B 
series from back in the day.

Re: [MBZ] sheet metal glue

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I second this, followed by proper duct-rated tape, then covered with
mastic, and then outer layer of insulation.  Make a trip to local HVAC
warehouse, they'll set you up with the right stuff.  Needs to be duct
rated, so that in a fire it will not produce poisonous gasses and kill you.

The hard part is getting the metal duct-work pieces right.  Once you have
those cut-out with the correct length and tabs so you can screw them
together, the majority of the work is done.  Make it air-tight with the
tape and the mastic.

I completely re-made all the duct-work under my house a few years ago, was
a lot of labor but only a few hundred dollars in material.

Re: [MBZ] People are hoarding chickens now

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Makes sense, you've got a lot more farms around than we do. In the summer I 
have a bunch of local producers to choose from, folks with a cooler out in 
front of the house. $2/doz seems like the going rate around here. This time of 
year the chickens are just starting to really lay again so theres not so much.

Re: [MBZ] People are hoarding chickens now

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Commercial eggs are still hard to come by around here (west central FL) but 
local producers have all kinds of them. No problem finding/getting them if you 
make the effort. We have a lot of rural folks around here that raise chickens 
and sell eggs pretty much year ‘round.

I was telling Mitch (MI) the other day about how we’ve got a glut of produce in 
the area because the migrant workers can’t pick it. Just south of me is a large 
area of tomato growers, so many of them that there are several processing 
plants in the area. Because they can’t get the crops to market they’re rotting 
in the fields, or if the growers use any sort of mechanized harvesting the 
crops are being harvested but just sitting.

A local tomato producer is selling bushel baskets of fresh tomatoes for $5. 
Same thing with the blueberry crop that has just come in. I can get a quart of 
freshly picked blueberries for about $2 at the growers. Normally, $2 would get 
you a pint.

I don’t can vegetables, but if I did I would be stocking up right now. We 
bought a boatload of blueberries on Saturday and froze nearly all of them.

 The annoying thing about Amazon is finding things. I'll search around and not

 Theres still loads of racism around but its much quieter. I'm surprised when 
somebody my age rolls out a stupid racist comment and while they'll do it in a 
group of white folks I'd bet good money they wouldn't if there was a black guy 
around.
I'm not very tolerant of those attitudes, nor sexism. Once in awhile my parents 
will talk about "those lazy blacks." I point to the lazy whites that live 
across the street from me...

Re: [MBZ] People are hoarding chickens now

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I'm in south-central Indiana. Abundant supply of eggs at the
supermarkets. $0.97/doz for the non-free-range non-organic factory-farm
eggs last time I was there (middle of last week).

Free-range, cage-free etc. anywhere from near $3/doz to $6 or so.

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

I haven’t been that impressed with what I’ve seen on Amazon Prime when I looked 
at it. I’m a Prime member, so we have it, but there’s a lot of content they 
want you to pay extra for, or so it seems.

If it wasn’t for the wife’s voracious TV consumption, I would go with the OTA 
stuff and be perfectly happy.

 Shorter than that, in 6 months you eat the chickens. That is if you don't want 
to over-winter. Its cold enough here I wouldn't want to. They don't lay as good 
over the winter anyway.

Yes, if he gets a streaming service, it most likely will have DVR or on demand

get the local network affiliates, I believe.

Re: [MBZ] People are hoarding chickens now

 I had thought about chickens years ago when we first moved here but Angie 
didn't want to. Now with eggs being kind of hard to get she's rethinking.I'm 
going to have to take 6 weeks of furlough in the next 6 months, I'll have 
plenty of time.
Instead I think I'll spend those weeks at camp trimming trees and making 
lantern videos. One pays me a little stipend now, the other is my retirement 
fund.

 Old tv series (you had mentioned the Adams Family) often show up on Amazon

Other than YouTube its my only "TV". I've got a 32" television hooked to my Mac

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Edited shorter. 

The "shooting ratio" is the amount of stuff shot divided by the amount of stuff 
that actually makes it into the program. Back in the days of film a 10:1 
shooting ratio was the high side of acceptable. Today since the "footage" is 
much cheaper 20:1 is pretty common. Television is usually tighter because the 
shooting schedule is shorter.

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Yup, commercial rates haven't risen anywhere near the rate of inflation, the 
money for those shows has to come from somewhere.
I know, "I paid for cable" great, that pays the delivery service, it doesn't 
pay the network, or the local station. It doesn't pay for the news or the 
weather, that all gets paid for from ad revenue.
We've all got to pay somewhere or the stuff won't get made. I go through this a 
lot on the Youtube subreddit, people don't understand that ads pay for the 
things on the internet that are "free".

About 15 years ago I had about 95% of M*A*S*H recorded off the air on VHS.
Somewhere in the middle of doing that, I realized the plot was there but a
lot of the gags were missing. Like one episode where somebody put soot in
the eyecups of Col Potter's binoculars and turned him into a racoon. I'm
watching the ending credits, see Potter and O'Reilly in the jeep with
Potter's black eyes, and realized that scene didn't exist in the show I'd
recorded, but I remembered it from the first time I saw it in the 1970s.

Then my parents started giving me M*A*S*H DVDs for presents, and I noticed
my tapes were 22+ minutes long while the DVDs were 25+ minutes. So in 30
years, commercials had increased from about 5 1/2 minutes to 8 1/2
minutes.

You’re welcome.

I had my hoses rebuilt with barrier style material by my local hose guy, I 
think it cost me around $150. Cheaper than buying new ones if they were even 
available and with modern material, too.

[MBZ] OT well we just had an exciting morning

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Strong line of tstorms moved through awhile ago, some tornadoes not too 
far away.  Lot of rain here at the vast estate but not too much wind so 
fairly lucky.  Power stayed on so that is good.  A little airport west 
of here got hit by a tornado and tore up hangers and planes, some houses 
up north a little ways got hit. The cell that tore up the airport moved 
a bit south of me down toward the beach, some reports it might have gone 
over Wadmalaw and Seabrook just a few miles away but I did not hear or 
see any evidence here.

In the 1970s and 1980s, I knew black guys who were afraid to go to

These days, a black guy in the Charlotte Wal-Mart would be unusual, but

Mike,

I replaced the hoses I could get to in the engine compartment and re-sealed the 
compressor, along with replacing the stock condenser with the parallel flow 
condenser.

The system was secure and working when I replaced everything, I just wasn’t 
happy with the performance on R134a and it was a good opportunity to go through 
everything.

Re: [MBZ] People are hoarding chickens now

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Chickens roam Ybor City, the neighborhood on the east side of Tampa that was 
settled by the Cubans and had many a cigar factory in the day. They’re a hotly 
contested topic on a regular basis as gentrification has started and the new 
residents aren’t terribly keen about the noise and mess.

[MBZ] Covid in Argentina

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

Personal report on Covid in Argentina

> In Argentina we are in cuarenteen curfew since last month, and very few 
> working activities are allowed for transit. Schools have been shut down, as 
> well as shoppings and religious mass of any kind. General population can only 
> go out of their homes to buy groceries at nearby shops. Similar measures have 
> been taken later by our neighbouring countries. Most of the population abides 
> by the rules, with two flagrant exceptions: some (not all) of the upper 
> economic level who think are also above the virus level and try to drive 
> every weekend to their properties in the countryside, and those on the lowest 
> eonomic level who cannot stay at home, either because the don't have savings 
> and need to work, or because they don't have a home apt to stay in. 
> However, I agree that worse is still to come during winter, both because of 
> the cold season usually begets flues and similar breathing sicknesses, and 
> because our economies cannot stand so much time in stand-by. Every couple of 
> weeks new jobs are authorize to restart, so I believe winter will find us 
> with at least half the population outdoors again.
> On a side note, I'm not trusting the official numbers of infected patients, 
> nor of deads by the coronavirus.
