It's monitoring drive current.  A blocked drain will cause the motor to work 
harder.
Of course, if the current sensor is faulty...

Re: [MBZ] OT: Briggs and Stratton files for Bankruptcy

[G Mann via Mercedes]

It's not as bad as you might think... Capt 11 BK.. is a "reorganization
bankruptcy" where the BK court holds the creditors at bay while the company
catches its collective breath and does a bit of slow pay to creditors.

Unlike a Chapt 7 BK where all assets are sold off and company is
dissolved, creditors get an assigned by the court parcel of whatever the
assets bring at sale.

Re: [MBZ] I can afford XKE? $7100?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Ohh.. how not exciting.. a neutered XKE, with all of it's sex appeal
removed by the stylist at Jag but there IS room for a baby seat in the
back and a small stroller in the boot, just what you need to take to your
psych counsel appoint for actually buying one...

7500 miles in 30 years... yes.. that says it made a statement.. if it was
an XKE, it would have been driven down to the rocker panels long ago...
[presuming you could have gotten the Lucas electrics to let you drive it...

I've owned a raft load of Jags over the years.. this model has no soul...

Re: [MBZ] Pig Flu Again????

[Clay via Mercedes]

Time to close up the consulates, roll up the welcome mat, and ban all imports 
from CCP.  It may bring a crisis of access to shitty goods, but that will be 
resolved by American Ingenuity and productivity.  We can make PPE out of all 
the “recyclables” that the chinese no longer want to take off our hands.  The 
stench of the raw material will require masking, the mixed paper can be made 
into gowns and masks.  Screw Walmart and other garbage retailers of imported 
toxins. Better to support the small business owners of you town and village 
over the corporate greed of Amazon.

Not just 'what is required' which sounds like emergency management (which
should carry a 30 day time limit IMO).
He enacted criminal statute by way of executive fiat when he declared that
failure to wear a mask in public was a more serious crime than DUI. You
can't be convicted of a misdemeanor unless the legislature has made it a
misdemeanor, at least not in a free country.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

I  have heard it said breathing thru your nose provides about as much 
natural filtration as most of these mask do.  Breathing thru your mouth 
sucks more of it in.

If I'm wearing a mask I have to contentrate on deliberately breathing
through my nose.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

If it is transmitted by droplets, they droplets hold the virus. If it is 
airborn, the virus does not require droplets to carry it, it is carried 
in the air.  Here are a couple of articles that explain the different 
and precautions needed for each.  Although the one article talks about 
it is known that Covid is carried in droplets, I do not believe that has 
been determined.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Its a respiratory illness, of course its airborne. Think about the 
word: air, meaning that stuff all around us, borne, meaning carried 
upon. The virus gets carried upon the air when people cough or sneeze. 
It also gets transmitted by being wiped on things. There might even be 
other ways we don't know about yet.


Also, a respiratory illness will be transmitted through the mouth and 
nose, covering them up will slow (but Phillip is right it won't 
prevent or stop) transmission.

 I mean, Belgium has the highest death rate period. I've wondered about that 
for a while now, it seems a curious number.

 Sweden's death rate has been in steady decline, now down to about 10 people

lock-down route, and it is clear that lock-down vs. no lock-down does not
seem to change how the Wuhan Red Death moves through the population, but
the economic impacts are sure different.  Belgium had a peak of 300 per
day, and is also now down to about 2 per day.  Note that Sweden and Belgium
have very similar size populations.  Rather than blindly accepting what
they put on the evening news, I like to check some facts for myself, there
are plenty of websites that have tracking numbers.  I like this one:

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I watched about the first 20 minutes, the first speaker went full $5 word
mode, and it was getting pretty hard for me to follow.  It sounded like he
was saying that the virus can infect a person via mouth, nose, eyes, and
throat and lungs.  Wearing a mask that increases a person's tendency to
touch their face seems counterproductive to me.  There is also no standard
for the mask type, and no training and no enforcement.  I see lots of
people that wear the mask so it covers their mouth but not their nose.  And
then there are the people wearing balaclavas and bandannas like they are
playing cowboys and Indians.  Lady I met the other day was making her own
masks out of panty hose or something, so they had some color to them but
did not impede breathing and make her glasses fog up, basically just mesh.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 You're still missing the point, the mask isn't there to filter the virus out, 
we know thats too hard. Gads, if people complain about breathing through a 
simple cloth mask I can't imagine how they'd complain if it was actually 
filtering.
The mask slows down your breath, it keeps your spew circle smaller to protect 
others. Its not 100%, nobody with a brain is claiming its 100%. The point is to 
reduce transmission.
Your circular argument is aggravating. I'm pretty sure you've just made up your 
mind and lined up your talking points and don't read anything anybody else 
writes. You certainly don't respond with anything new. Its kind of like arguing 
with Andrew although you at least respond to the right message.

Good point. I’m not really sure how it knows if the drain is blocked unless it 
has some sort of level sensor,  but not sure why the pump only does 3 short 
pulses then stops. I will mess with it some more tomorrow.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Sweden's death rate has been in steady decline, now down to about 10 people
per day, from a high of 100 per day.  I'd say their approach is looking
like it worked out just fine.  Compare them to Belgium, which went the full
lock-down route, and it is clear that lock-down vs. no lock-down does not
seem to change how the Wuhan Red Death moves through the population, but
the economic impacts are sure different.  Belgium had a peak of 300 per
day, and is also now down to about 2 per day.  Note that Sweden and Belgium
have very similar size populations.  Rather than blindly accepting what
they put on the evening news, I like to check some facts for myself, there
are plenty of websites that have tracking numbers.  I like this one:

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 He's a Democrat though, they can, apparently anyway, do no wrong.
My sister-in-law's friend recently got a $500+ ticket for trying to go to the 
beach in Maine without quarantining for 14 days first. The quarantine is under 
an executive order from the government. I've yet to find a place in the 
Constitution that allows for that.

Then Cuomo needs to be brought up on charges for seeding Covid into the nursing 
homes. The statistics were known at the time that the elderly and those with 
comorbidities were at extreme risk. In a just society, that is mass murder.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Not really, they only have 78,000 cases in a country of 10 million. The number 
of new infections per day in Sweden right now is only a bit higher than here in 
MA yet they have almost 5 times as many people. So their rate of transmission 
is actually lower.
Sweden has been kind of a whipping boy for not having many restrictions but the 
number of infected is fairly low and at their worst they were only getting 
around 1800 infections (well, reported infections) a day.
Their death rate is among the highest but is still lower than the UK or Italy. 
Its worth noting that Swedes aren't big huggers. ;)

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Its a respiratory illness, of course its airborne. Think about the word: air, 
meaning that stuff all around us, borne, meaning carried upon. The virus gets 
carried upon the air when people cough or sneeze. It also gets transmitted by 
being wiped on things. There might even be other ways we don't know about yet.
Also, a respiratory illness will be transmitted through the mouth and nose, 
covering them up will slow (but Phillip is right it won't prevent or stop) 
transmission.

Re: [MBZ] Bosch Dishwasher

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I have a Whirlpool cheapo that had a similar issue, the drain pump would
not drain.  I replaced the drain pump, still no drain action.  Only other
parts left were the wiring and the control board.  I tested the wires, they
seemed to be fine, so I replaced the control board and the problem was
fixed.

How much is a new control board?

[MBZ] Partial Score

[Craig via Mercedes]

Mitch suggested I check out pawn shops for A/C vacuum pumps and other
such stuff, so I checked one in Albuquerque out today.

I got:

- a (appears to be working properly, but unsure of calibration) Fieldpiece
  SRS1 refrigerant scale for $110.00

- a Cornwell MSM-201CR Vacuum Assist Cooling System Refiller (Universal)
  with a broken gauge for $60.00.

I know the Cornwell is a good deal. I'm not entirely sure the Fieldpiece
is, pricewise, but at least I have it.

No vacuum pumps or pressure gauges, but their stock changes all the time.
In addition, there are several more pawn shops in Albuquerque which I need
to check out.

Re: [MBZ] Bosch Dishwasher

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

If, for example, the power supply for the pump was faulty, how would
the system know the difference between P/S and pump issues?  There's
a limit to how much self-diagnosis is possible, especially if they're trying
to minimize the cost of the unit.

I treat fault reports as "look here first", not "replace this now."

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Perhaps. Seems logical a large group will spread things. Is the virus airborne 
or not? We still don’t know. If it is, masks are a total and complete waste of 
time. We would need to be wearing gas masks or something.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Incorrect, mask wearing can reduce transmission unless you're an idiot. If you 
insist on going to bars and clubs you're almost certainly going to get infected.
A thought I had, if some idiot goes out to a bar and gets infected, then they 
go home and unknowingly infect their elderly parents who die, is that murder? 
Probably not but maybe unintentional manslaughter?

[MBZ] Bosch Dishwasher

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

So as you may recall the home service contract company sent sears over 
and the guy says the pump is bad and not avaialble so the dishwasher 
would have to be replaced.  The error code E25 (Might have been E24) 
indicated bad drain pump or blocked drain. I checked the line and it did 
not appear to be kinked and I do not see any blocked lines.  I ordered 
the drain pump for $30 and installed it today.  Took about 5-10 minutes, 
no big deal.  After powering it back on, it still does the same thing so 
I pulled the drain hose off the pump output, it is clear there.  I even 
blew into it and there is no blockage.  I pulled the pump again and 
checked to make sure the output housing where the pump goes then plugs 
into the hose was clear, it was.  When you power it on, pump runs in 3 
short intervals then stops.  I can see in the clear drain line it is 
pushing water, a small amount of water but if the pump ran continually I 
am sure it would drain.  It now pops up with error E25 and in red says 
Watertap.  I assumed this means something about the water supply.  
Checked to make sure water was on and it is.  Tomorrow I think I will 
pull the supply line to check to see if maybe there is a filter that is 
blocked.  Not sure what that would have to do with draining though.


In the mean time the status of the service request is washer may be 
eligible for replacement. I called them the other day but could not 
understand them.  Sounded like they were going to fix washer but waiting 
on parts, no estimated time of arrival.  Wife called today and the 
"appliance dept" is supposed to call us by the 28th.  Still not sure if 
they are replacing it or what.  Not sure if that means they are going to 
buy some cheap machine or send check for whatever they cover on it and 
we can go get one on our own.


I really hate to give up on it.  All the searching I see on this error 
say it is simple deal with making sure the impellers are clear (they 
are, pump is new), check for blockage (I have).  It seems like 4 years 
is a short time for a premium product.  Wonder if I should go with Bosch 
the next time or not.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

So long story short mask wearing is not going to solve anything and 
those at high risk should isolate at home.

Re: [MBZ] I can afford XKE? $7100?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

That’s actually a pretty good deal, even though it’s a 2+2 and an automatic. 
Having a 4.2l helps, but if you were going to choose all the things *not* to 
have on your Jag they pretty much checked all the boxes.

I drove and serviced these back in the day. Seriously BA cars, especially on 
the track when they were running. I have no desire to own one, however. Maybe 
an XK140, but those have become stupid expensive nowadays as well.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

IMO they should be telling vulnerable people to wear N95 masks to protect
themselves. Nobody cares more about one's own health than oneself. They
will be motivated.

Telling young people who don't really have much to worry about to wear
masks that won't stop them getting the virus --- you can see why that's
a tough sell.

It CANNOT be contained.  Slowed - maybe. Contained - no.  Protect
those who are have a high risk, and the rest of us should move
on.  If you feel you are at risk by all means isolate!!

Most of us will catch it.  Most of us won't notice we had it.
Those that do have symptoms can partake of the documented
treatments to help.  Once most of us have had it, the protected,
high risk folks can emerge.

Or not, because there will be another seasonal flu.  And corona
virus colds.  And all manner of things for our immune system to
fight.  Those who have a high risk will be at a high risk from all
that stuff!

[MBZ] Pig Flu Again????

Hi Gerry,

New H1N1 Influenza A Strain Identified in Chinese Pig Farms. A study published 
in PNAS this week reported the identification of a new H1N1 influenza A strain, 
possessing genes from the pandemic H1N1 2009 swine flu...

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Another thing that I've heard is going on, the rich get the instant test,
and only go into treatment if needed.  The poor get the slow test, and
while waiting for the results they get hospitalized in a room full of other
poor people also waiting for test results, so if they didn't have it when
they arrived, they surely end up with the Wuhan Red Death by the time they
leave.  "Here's your mask, wait over there, we'll tell you when you're
sick!"  Personally I'm going to do everything I can to stay away from
Hospitals, too many people die there.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Or could it be the masks are actually leading to increased cases? This could be 
due to the fact that masks are trapping crap that you are then breathing in. Or 
maybe the masks are creating a false sense of security?

Right. They still don’t know how it is transmitted. Figure that out, then there

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 They don't contain completely that much is pretty obvious but, since people 
complain about masks restricting airflow its pretty clear that the mask reduces 
the velocity of the air coming out of you which means the virus is more likely 
to stick with you than to float around free.
Nobody with any brains is saying "masks prevent transmission 100%". The idea is 
to reduce the speed of transmission to keep hospitals from being overloaded. 
I'm pretty much in the camp that believes that we're all going to get it, its 
just a matter of time. The thing is I want there to be some hospital capacity 
available so that if I'm one of the people that needs hospitalization I can get 
in. For that to be true we need to not do what Florida is doing...
Actually we kind of need to not do what New England is doing. MA for instance 
has been seeing under 300 new cases per day for more than a month. Our 
hospitals have loads of free capacity. At this rate it'll be a decade before we 
get everybody infected and can get on with life.

1. Social distancing effect. Your exhalations have less range when you
cover your face, so 4' away from a mask wearer should be better than 4'
away unmasked, especially if he's talking.

2. Cyclone fence vs mosquito effect. If it's just the virus, any mask that
lets you smell your farts lets the virus through. OTOH, if it's water
droplets, if your mask gets wet, it's catching something.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

The problem is we do not know if they help to contain the virus. They say they 
think it might be spread by droplets from coughing etc. A report then came out 
that it might be airborne. First we need to figure that out. Next, what size is 
the virus? What micron rating are the masks?  So far these are things we have 
not been told, or are not known. If I missed it somebody please post that 
study.

I'm not sure they had a turbo W201 in Europe.

There were over 1000 of them in USA, and I think about ten of them got
converted to stick. Might be interesting to search BenzWorld and see if
anybody ever wrote about converting a silver/tan one. Mine is silver/red,
which I think is a lot more common.

Re: [MBZ] Mask wearing

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Sanitizing maybe, my pet theory is that the "otherwise healthy", young, strong 
people who are dying or really suffering with COVID are also the people who are 
excessively clean. I'm thinking that germophobes don't build as strong immune 
systems.

If you're just staying away from other people you're still experiencing a whole 
world of germs.
And for the last time THE MASK DOESN'T KEEP GERMS OUT. Wearing one won't 
compromise your immune system because it doesn't filter germs out, it keeps 
your germs on your face and away from me.
The pee metaphor is apt, if some dude is peeing and neither of you is wearing 
pants you're at high risk of getting pee on you. If you're wearing pants you 
get a tiny amount of protection but you're probably still going to get pee on 
you. If he's wearing pants you get way more protection. The pants don't stop 
the pee completely but they seriously slow the stream.

UTILITIES
$520M settlement approved in Santee Cooper lawsuit

Published: Wednesday, July 22, 2020

A South Carolina state judge on Monday approved a $520 million settlement
in a customer class-action lawsuit against state-owned utility Santee
Cooper over increased rates for a failed nuclear construction project.

Judge Jean Toal signed off on the deal, which will provide refunds for
nearly all of the utility's 1.7 million customers. After about 90 days,
customers will receive some kind of cash payment. Customers with refunds of
less than $25 will receive a credit on their bill.

Plaintiffs' lawyers will get 15%, or $77 million to $78 million, of the
settlement. Lawyers said the percentage is relatively low in this kind of

.

The project racked up $4 billion in debt before Santee Cooper pulled out of
its minority stake in the V.C. Summer nuclear expansion in July 2017. The
project to build two nuclear-powered electric generators in Jenkinsville,
about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Columbia, was shut down before
any power was generated because of the rising costs, as Santee Cooper
increased rates five times to fund construction.

Monday's finalized deal also requires Santee Cooper to freeze electric
rates for four years, which lawyers said could be worth up to $510 million,
according

to *The Post and Courier*.

it. *— Associated Press*

Yeah we recently drove to South Dakota and back and by the end of 2800
miles of driving and camping in 116 degree weather we had a pretty good
drill for how to get through a gas station, tank up, get snacks, use
toilets and fuel pumps without getting or hopefully giving anyone covid 19.
More of a process than I had thought about.

$520M settlement approved in Santee Cooper lawsuit

Published: Wednesday, July 22, 2020

A South Carolina state judge on Monday approved a $520 million settlement
in a customer class-action lawsuit against state-owned utility Santee
Cooper over increased rates for a failed nuclear construction project.

Judge Jean Toal signed off on the deal, which will provide refunds for
nearly all of the utility's 1.7 million customers. After about 90 days,
customers will receive some kind of cash payment. Customers with refunds of
less than $25 will receive a credit on their bill.

Plaintiffs' lawyers will get 15%, or $77 million to $78 million, of the
settlement. Lawyers said the percentage is relatively low in this kind of
lawsuit, *The State* newspaper reported

.

The project racked up $4 billion in debt before Santee Cooper pulled out of
its minority stake in the V.C. Summer nuclear expansion in July 2017. The

about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Columbia, was shut down before
any power was generated because of the rising costs, as Santee Cooper
increased rates five times to fund construction.

Monday's finalized deal also requires Santee Cooper to freeze electric
rates for four years, which lawyers said could be worth up to $510 million,
according

Re: [MBZ] OT Study: Respiratory virus shedding in exhaled breath and efficacy of face masks

[G Mann via Mercedes]

The whole issue of masks, wearing them, or not wearing them, falls IMHO in
the same category as carring a condom in your wallet all the way through
highschool... The chances of actually putting it to use were slim to
impossible, but, for 4 years, you carried one anyway.. just in case.

I wear a mask, "just in case it might give me some edge of protection. I
also wear wrap around clear safety glasses as eye protection, since a known
infection vector is the eye tissue, and, where I am to be in possible
contact with anything touched by the unwashed public, 7 mil thick Nitrile
gloves [the tough and thick kind for mechanical work so they hold up.

When I return home, I dispose of the gloves, wash my hands and face, rinse
the nasal passages and use mouthwash... then do a wipedown of the door
knobs, the vehicle [any place I came in contact with it after possible
exposure, ie, steering wheel, shift lever, turn lever, door controls,, etc
etc etc... using cleaning wipes.

So far, no corona symptoms... is it a pain to do all that, sure... but
then, it was a pain to suit up and arm up in the military... I did it
anyway... glad I did..

Re: [MBZ] Room for a Merc V12 or 2?

I'm guessing the turning radius is about 1/4 mile...  Might need to keep 
that wheeled dolly on the front...
