Re: [MBZ] Are Hurricanes fun?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I've been thinking about one of the Harbor Freight units. I was at camp early 
in July and it was real hot so we ran the ceiling fan right up until the charge 
controller for the solar system said "Enough of that" (10.9v). It the (of 
course) got real cloudy the next day (but stayed hot) so I pulled out the 3k 
generattle and pumped 10a/hr into the batteries for about 4 hours a day.
Actually it was the next day that I realized that the default float level on 
our charge controller is 13.6v. I think that means our batteries have been 
chronically under-charged. I bumped it to 14.4 but of course now I read that it 
should probably be 14.2. By the time I left a few days later we'd had some sun 
and were back up to 12.6 or so. It'll be interesting to see how it fares the 
next time I go. We doubled the capacity of the battery bank in the spring but 
my mother has no concept of "conserve". She doesn't seem to understand there is 
a finite amount of power and running a 4a draw 24 hours a day could use it all 
up.
We've got lousy solar exposure so our panels make way under rated wattage. Next 
time I'm up there I'm going to spend some time making sure that the expose is 
our issue and not bad wiring...

Poor is relative.  The US poverty level income is five times the global median

Re: [MBZ] Are Hurricanes fun?

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Yep. Carlin was a genius. Miss him.

Something like: The rich make all the money and pay none of the
taxes. The middle class does all the work and pays all the taxes. The
poor keep the middle class working hard so they don't end up poor.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: 2002 Mercedes suv

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Listed about one month ago...either there's something wrong with it or 
none of the prospective buyers have decent jumper cables.
If it jump starts and has 5 speeds forward and one reverse, I'd offer a 
full Kaleb ($500) and see if they accept.

Brand name of a text over video processor (character generator).
Any informational text/graphic, especially "lower third" (on the
bottom 1/3 of the screen) can be called  Chyron, even if it wasn't
created by a Chyron.

Preventing "price gouging" is just interfering with true free
market.

> 3. Raise the price until only 40 people need them that badly.

This is free market.

"But it favors the rich"  

Yup.  And motivates those without money to get involved in the
market because there is a good opportunity and they might have
more.  The poor will always be with us, and still poor no matter
what is given to them.

When gasoline supplies are limited, a 850-1200W micro, or a 2000W variable
speed inverter generator, can be far superior to a 5-7kW generator when it
comes to keeping your food cold and lighting a room.

My well is 240v, so if I want water I need at least a 3.5kW with 240V. My
usual method is to run it about 3 hours on, 3 hours off, and it's off
about 6 hours straight while I sleep. In a five day power failure, the
stuff in my chest freezer gets freezer burn, probably from the overnight
off cycles.

Re: [MBZ] 2004 E320 MB 4matic Transmission/Oil Dipsticks

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

The transmission on my 2014 GLK 250 bluetec needs to be serviced every
70,000 miles at a cost of around $800.  There is no dipstick and the dealer
rep told me they rarely cause problems if serviced.
