Re: [MBZ] House thermostat

2022-07-02 Thread mitch--- via Mercedes

If the AC is running at some point in the day and humidity under 
control, I can sleep fine at 72.
Weekdays, with time of use billing (they jack the rate up 50% from 2-7p 
weekdays, and I assume that means Independence Day too) I run it at 68 
from 6-8am, which dehumidifies like crazy, then 72 until 2pm (rarely 
turns on), 80 until 7pm (never turns on), and 72 until 6am. Lately it's 
been running more than an hour in the evening, less than an hour in the 
early morning, and that's all. Hottest it's gotten by 7pm has been 76 
this year. The dehumidifier in the basement uses way more electricity 
than the 1.5T heat pump.

not replace because it tested good. Well I let it sit completely discharged for 
about a month with these 90-100 degree temps and today charged it up to about 
12.5 volts, now tests bad. Back to Walmart to get it replaced.

Re: [MBZ] House thermostat

I believe it’s well insulated but do have some leaks around the front door, 
need to replace the gaskets around it. Even at nearly 100, when the thermostat 
goes from 72 to 76, It will not reach 76 and start kicking on again until mid 
afternoon so it holds the temp for quite a while. In fact during the spring 
when it gets down into the 50’s at night and up into the 80’s during the day it 
holds the cool air for overnight well enough that it was almost June before I 
had to turn on the AC.

We have the programmable T-stat set to 80 during the day, and 74 at night.
When it's over about 95F out, I set the fan to constant - keeps the house
comfortable as long as you don't wear a shirt. All the ceiling fans are on
also.

Re: [MBZ] House thermostat

That’s about right, as I have a 2400 SF house in FL and it’s got a 4 ton unit. 
If it’s oversized it short cycles and never gets the humidity down.

Re: [MBZ] Filling the GL

That’s interesting, as Costco really promotes the TopTier thing. I did notice 
on their web site (TopTier) that they were apologizing for some locations not 
being able to get their fuel.

 No Costco in Flagstaff, closest one is over an hour away in Prescott. I

Re: [MBZ] House thermostat

I use a branded (smart) thermostat by Lennox on the Florida house, which is 
kept at a constant 74F with AC because Mrs. Dan is “always hot”. When she’s out 
of the house I turn it up to 76F, which is more than comfortable for me. If 
we’re out of town I’ve got a program that lets it go up to 78F during the 
weekdays when the oldest son is at work, then it throttles down to 76F when 
he’s home.

In Flagstaff, we don’t use the AC much, and as the climate is very different 
there, it’s (AC) not necessary most of the time. That and the house is very 
well insulated. I installed a “Sensei” programmable (smart) thermostat from 
Emerson in that house, and it works great.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Driverless robotaxis block San Francisco traffic for hours

2022-07-02 Thread mitch--- via Mercedes

When I see links to MSN or Yahoo, I try to find where the story came
from.

This appears to be the original story:
https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/30/cruise-robotaxis-blocked-traffic-for-hours-on-this-san-francisco-street/

Prompted by this twit and a Reddit discussion.
https://twitter.com/TaylorOgan/status/1542346416256843776

Some @Cruise robotaxis appeared to be stuck in SF last night at the
corner of Gough St. and Fulton St.

Human ops apparently had to rescue them. Still some kinks to iron
out. pic.twitter.com/eXDocjVfHU

— Taylor Ogan (@TaylorOgan) June 30, 2022

The cars appear to have been stalled at the intersection of Gough and
Fulton Streets.
“We had an issue earlier this week that caused some of our vehicles to
cluster together,” a Cruise spokesperson said. “While it was resolved
and no passengers were impacted, we apologize to anyone who was
inconvenienced.”
The vehicles were recovered through a combination of remote assistance
and manual retrieval.

“The first thing I say to my co-worker is that they’re getting together
to murder us,” wrote the OP. “It was a pretty surreal event. Humans had
to come and manually take the cars away. Cruise should get fined to shit
for blocking the street off for so long. They even made it so the street
sweeper couldn’t hit an entire block.”

Fines for blocking the street sweeper are around $76 per car in San
Francisco. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority (SFMTA)
did not respond to TechCrunch’s requests for more information about how
it handles such situations with autonomous vehicles and whether Cruise
will receive any fines for blocking the intersection.

The issue calls into question the policy cities need to build around
autonomous vehicles when they break the law, as well as Cruise’s own
operational protocol for these types of incidents.

Had nuclear energy been done correctly, it would've been. It's never going to 
happen in this country. We are probably heading into another "dark ages" or at

Re: [MBZ] Filling the GL

Sorry. Florida.

No Costco in Flagstaff, closest one is over an hour away in Prescott. I use

18 1/2"- 18 3/4" from the ground to the center of the ball. I'd probably make 
it 19" to compensate for tongue weight if it doesn't have self leveling 
suspension.

Re: [MBZ] Determining Type of Tongue for Hitch

Yeah, that’s similar to what I had for the previous ML500 and it did the job 
the few times I used it.

2022-07-02 Thread Jim Cathey via Mercedes

> Is there a specific ball height I should go for, or does it matter?

No, and yes.  So, you're a bit screwed.  You have to have SOME idea of
what you'd tow before you know what kind of hitch to put in the receiver.
The trailer should end up towing level when you're done.

Once upon a time the trailer and towing vehicle all shared similar frame
construction, and tires.  So a straight stinger was best.  These days, with
big tires and lifted suspensions on most towing vehicles, yet trailers remaining
somewhat low to the ground for utility's sake, some amount of drop is best.

Re: [MBZ] Bluetec codes

2022-07-02 Thread G Mann via Mercedes

The real question is: What caused the system that orders the DPF to go into
regen mode to fail to regen the DPF?
If it was correctly operating the DPF would have "self cleaned" on a
regular basis thus never "clogged" [I think]  Thus, either the
command to regen system failed, or the owner failed to keep enough DEF in
the DEF tank, which caused the system to fail... [that should have
triggered a nanny light or alarm [I think] telling the owner to "GO FILL UP
THE DEF TANK] and pitched a code into the blinking light system [I think].
So, the next question is, Does the engine shut down because the DPF is
plugged, or does the engine shut down because the DEF tank is empty [or the
solenoid that squirts DEF into the DPF self clean system failed and the
mighty nanny computer shuts the engine off?]
IE you don't get to limp home, call the dealer tow truck and pay the
dealer fees NOW...
only the mighty and all intelligent dealer can save you. [sarcasm intended]

Re: [MBZ] Moving a storage shed

2022-07-02 Thread MG via Mercedes

If the tractor can lift one end then you could 
block that end up like Curt said. Once you have 
one end high enough the use the tractor to lift 
the other end and either block it or leave the 
tractor there and back the trailer under it.


A few years ago I lifted a 40' container up and 
put 22" house supports on concrete pads under it 
one end at a time with the old track loader. 
Worked real good for me.

Cut some of those oaks down to use as rollers - you need three - two under
it and one to shuffle from the rear to the front as it progresses onto the
trailer.

I remember Dad coming home from work and telling that there was a gas price
war down the street, go fill my car - a 1951 bug. I only  had $0.50 on me,
and the car would not hold that much gas! I think it was around 0.10/gal
and my tank was about half full (no gas gauge in 1951).

Actually I think it is built on skids.  Here is a pic of the building, 
not a great pic but you can get an idea of what it is.

A couple 4x6 beams, a bottle jack and some blocking is all you need. 2

Re: [MBZ] Moving a storage shed

I was thinking maybe I could get the tractor forks under the front and lift it 
up enough to get the ramps under it, then maybe run a long strap around it at 
the bottom where the supports are then start winching it up. I think I might be 
over there today and will measure it to see is wide it is. For some reason I 
think they might have had to use some concrete blocks on the trailer to get it 
up one the wheel fenders because I think it’s too wide to sit between them.
