Re: [MBZ] Hitchhike?
None of the big pharma are able to produce in quantities required to have statistically significant impact. UK was all excited about maybe using their 5 million doses, which could show up late spring 2021, to infect a couple million frail folks (two dose). Maybe when there are half a dozen billion doses available, we will know if the cures are worse than the plague. That should be long after the WRD has swept through the population and herd immunity is common.

[MBZ] Random COVID question
How come, as we approach a year of this pandemic, the paper companies still cannot keep retailers stocked with toilet paper and paper towels? I was at Target yesterday, and they had nothing. Zippo. Not even a roll of the most generic off-brand anything. Is it simply lack of truck and storage and shelf space? The retailers are buying as much as they can fit through their pipeline and it's still not enough? Why are they not raising prices to meet demand? Surely it's better to have to pay more for something if you really need it, than to be unable to buy it at all? A higher price will also discourgage hoarding.

We just keep our usual hurricane supply levels maintained, no shortages here.

They were clearly well below the normal stock levels, for sure.

Re: [MBZ] Random COVID question
AK has to barge all its goods from outside. Article in this week’s daily rag reports that shipping costs are going up due to constrictions related to meeting mandates, wear and tear on employees, and PITA of access to docks. Lot of boats are moored at ports with no place to be. Added to the reduced hours manufacturers of goods are actually producing, paper plants dropped shifts, much as others have reduced employment. Less goods to ship, less stuff on shelves. Now it is weather that slows or impedes goods arriving, so it stacks up at originating ports not getting loaded, as well as not being off loaded, as there is reduced rail and road transport. A recent example of how SARS-CoV is tossing a wrench. #1 boy is essential. He was in a location all day with somebody who came in contact with another person who came in contact with other person who tested for the plague. Being a conscientious person, he tells the supervisor. That gets him sent home until he has percolated long enough for plague to erupt, at which point he has to get a test for Schroedinger virus. One week out of work. Tested and has to wait, since employer demands most reliable testing. Other week unemployed. Had he been truly infected, then funding would have kicked in for lost wages. Since he did not become plague zombie, no dinero, work was down essential employees at essential job sites for half the month, chain reaction of contact trace put even more people imprisoned to 14 days, slowing more essential business. One positive. It was hunting season, so the plague in waiting group was able to bag their limits.

Someone else's bed, but I think everyone forgets that regular cars burn up pretty frequently. It happened to my sister's Pontiac t6000 in college; she had enough time to pull over, open the hood and then grab her wallet off the dash board before it was too hot to get near ther car. The melted front bumper puddle is still a piece of wall art on her house. I never thought of the battery pack as an energy-absorbing component of the chassis, but mass is generally your friend and the safety benefit of this low slung 1200 lb object needs to be factored in.

Re: [MBZ] Random COVID question
Lack of toilet paper is a supply chain issue. To manufacture toilet paper, you need pulpwood. To get pulpwood you need forest workers to cut trees, shippers with trucks to ship pulpwood logs, factories with a present labor force to run the factories to make paper products. Tree cutters are not working because of covid 19. Truck drivers are not working because of covid 19. Factory workers are not working because of covid 19. Etc. Thus, because since the 1980's "Just in Time Production Edict" everyone's product... is only made to be shipped the same day... Which means, all the others in the supply chain to produce any product today have keyed their workforce and supply chain to meet that paradigm. So... soon... wipe with your left hand,,, eat with your right hand, and don't scratch your nose.

Re: [MBZ] Alternate Uses for P/S Fluid?
ATF fluid and Power Steering fluid should be pretty much the same. Both are made to run hydraulic "things"... My new Ford truck specs for the use of ATF oil for power steering. That is satisfying, since that's what I've been using for the last 30 years. ;)) I don't know what kind of cooking smoke PS oil might give your BBQ. But, I'm willing to bet it would leave a "layer of flavor" you would not soon forget.

Yes i think you are right about layer of flavor.

PS fluid and ATF are not interchangeable for any Benz after the W123. ATF will eat the seals in the newer PS pumps. I know, it happened to mine. I don't know of any real other use for PS fluid, it's a light hydraulic oil with anti-wear characteristics for vane type pumps. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

That's what the heat gun is for. 2-3 minutes of hot air blast and the charcoal is going just fine, with no petro aftertaste. Wait 5 minutes, throw on some apple, maple or hickory sticks, and you're ready to cook. Mitch.
