Re: [MBZ] lawm mower tire
Once the sidewall integrity is gone you need a new tire. Else tube it and go on. At least with a lawn mower you aren't risking your life due to a sudden catastrophic tire failure, but that's what I'd do. -- Jim ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] lawm mower tire
I have used a ratchet tie-down strap around a new tire to get it to inflate. Still a PITA. If it didn't have the crack I'd say you could try Slime, I've had some success with that on small tractor tires, but that won't fix a sidewall crack.

Re: [MBZ] MB diesel education and advice
The panels keep getting more efficient so the payoff particulars keeps changing. They supposedly collect power from the scattered light on the back side of the chips now also, for instance. So I think some shadier places that would not be suitable are now more suitable. But depends upon local laws also. They have net zero metering ones that never put power into the grid beyond what you use, if you live in one of those communist states that refuses to pay you for power you generate ;-) Fire is the main reason a lot of policies are getting cancelled in the SW. We went with stucco and a metal roof but should have boxed in the eaves also with stucco, as that is where the roofs often catch fire. Plus be sure your roof vents and hvac air intakes all have 1/8" metal screens, rather than 1/4", which lets too many embers in. 11 houses burned across the street in the next block up during the Getty fire.

Re: [MBZ] OT: anyone using an under-counter water filter?
Mine looks like the Watts Premier 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis System. still works great after about 10 years. I like it because I can pick up all the filters on line for cheap. I originally looked at the ones that Lowe's and Home Despot sell but those all required filters, because of specialize cast in place fitting, that were only available from the manufacturers and thus were much more expensive. L and HD still seem to specialize in those proprietary type of systems. After all they make more money off the sale of those special fit filters. MG Curt Raymond via Mercedes wrote: We have a Multi-Pure https://www.multipure.com/products/drinking-water-systems/ Just a single stage, I think multi-stage would be most useful if you had turbidity which we don't. I change the filter every year and a half to 2 years when the water flow slows down enough to be annoying. It was expensive but the filter container and mount is stainless as is the spout on the sink, I don't think it'll never need replacing.
