I see it was filmed at Tyndall AFB, Panama City, FL. I was stationed
there as an Avionics Maintenance Officer in 1973. The targets shot down
(by F106s) at the time were the Bomarc missile (mach 2.5) and F102 drones,
just like the one in the video, only a much earlier version.

What's funny, considering the fact that Irwin moved the Vice-Grip

tool is forged in one piece? I hope it doesn't mean the blister pack

At any rate, I agree with the Amazon reviewers who say the helical 
Irwin are better than the straight splined Lisle. To use a Lisle

then I would have had to hammer it out of the tool.

[MBZ] 'Nother Sondy Tale - Quitter Star

[WILTON]

Yep, 'Nother Sondy Tale.

QUITTER STAR
By Wilton Strickland

Extended delays in receiving parts and getting repairs done on my 
circulating hot water heating system during the recent holiday period 
reminded me of the following:


In early evening a couple of days after Thanksgiving at Sondrestrom Air 
Base, Greenland, in 1978, many of us gathered outside near the center of the 
base at a facsimile Christmas "tree" (Jule trae, in Danish) - a tall pole 
strung with lights to form a cone shape - for a short and simple "tree" 
lighting ceremony.  Immediately after lighting the "tree," a Danish lady 
standing beside me said, "Now they'll light the quitter star."  I asked, 
"Quitter star - what's that?"  She replied, "The big star outline mounted up 
near the top of Black Ridge (a 900-feet-tall cliff face overlooking the 
base).  When they light it, everybody quits for the rest of the year."

moving.  The M104 in the boy's w140 is not a speed demon, and I am pretty sure 
a 2.5 liter would struggle.  Also have to bring the transmission along so it

What's a federalized 1982 500 make, 200hp at best?
What if you stuck a 350hp crazy Finn OM603 in it?

Actually, I'd like to stick a CDI engine in it, and pay pre-1983 license fees.
How much work would it be to strip it bare and put in the driveline, shifter, 
gas pedal, and entire wiring harness from a W211 e320 CDI?
Not as impressive as a crazy Finn engine, but it would keep up with the average 
500SEL while getting twice the mpg.

Or for the non-purists, a new 5.0 Ford engine or one of the Chevy LS

Mitch.
I love the smell of diesel in the morning.
(With apologies to Robert Duval)
I'm suggesting that the 500 crowd with be using the yardsticks at every 
bragging/pecker-matching contest about how much more powerful their particular 
500 is.
Diesel would be scorned by such a group.
A 6BT out of an UPS truck would be interesting.

I have found Irwin's tools to be serviceable.


What's funny, considering the fact that Irwin moved the Vice-Grip factory to 
China, is the labeling on the bolt extractor packaging. "Made in USA with Global 
Components" - what does that mean when the tool is forged in one piece? I hope 
it doesn't mean the blister pack was made in USA and the tools inside were made 
in China.


At any rate, I agree with the Amazon reviewers who say the helical Irwin are 
better than the straight splined Lisle. To use a Lisle extractor on that flare 
fitting, I would have had to hammer it on and then I would have had to hammer it 
out of the tool.


Now the bleeder is stuck in the control valve, and since the other end of the 
line goes into the control valve ABOVE the bleeder, I can't easily cut the line 
to put the extractor on the nut. Why would the control valve bleeder be below 
the outlet pipe to the spheres, is there a good reason to make sure the air goes 
to the spheres and not to the bleeder?

I would rather buy my own tires. I didn't see these until after the tires were 
sold, otherwise I would have gone for the whole package, as it was a good deal.

I had a CL deal on the hook with a guy over in Deltona for a set of 8 hole OE 
wheels with some decent tires for the same price, but I would rather have the 
17" wheels, so I let it drop.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Curt's mystery job

[Dieselhead]

Barry "gave" Moochelle 2 more weeks vacay as her birfday prezzent, 
so she is camped out at Okrah's place, which is not the same place 
the whole gaggle camped out at.  (Not clear if Okrah is charging the 
taxpayers for the accommodations.) Apparently there is a hospital 
just up the road from Okrah's place, which just so happens to have a 
reputation for the ladies' fixemup procedures, and Mooch has not 
been seen in public since before Christmas.  So, add it all up. 
Interestingly, it has been reported that Mooch and Okrah don't get 
on all that well, butchaknow the gurruls got to stick together... it 
has also been reported that Barry and Mooch aren't gittin on all 
that well, so maybe Okrah is counseling her and talking about a new 
job if she packs on Barry and can't live off the taxpayer any more.


I'm sure we'll get details once the Mooch's traveling circus gets 
back to DC, flying on the taxpayer dime since she did not come back 
home with Barry and the younguns (and I guess granny too, someone 
needs to watch the younguns).  She'll be home in time for her 
birfday bash, next week I think, at which the guests were told to 
nosh before they come because the birfday bash will not include a 
big feed this time as Mooch has not been home to tend to her garden 
these past few weeks.  Her first lady duties have been noticeably 
absent to the detriment of the American civilization, but her staff 
has been carrying on in her absence no doubt, keeping school lunches 
safe from carbs and sugars.

Wonder which horspital dat iz.

If it is still in Kai Lua, then it would be Castle horspital.

If it is not kailua beach or lanikai beach, then it would most likely 
be Kahala.  I think Queens would be the closest to Kahala.   da ol

[MBZ] Score!!

[Dan Penoff]

Found some wheels on Benzworld for the SL500.  Newer stock 17" wheels from a 99 
model, but they'll do:

Have to buy some new tires to fit them, as my current crappy stock 12 hole 
wheels are 16".  Plenty of rubber on them, so there's no rush.

Apple has made it clear they don't care about the professional market, they 
make more money with phones and ipods.

FCP got dumbed down and people are calling the new Mac Pro the "trashcan" since 
it looks like 3 rolls of black duct tape stacked together. My friend Seth was a 
long time holdout and just before Christmas finally bought a new HP Z820 and 
moved to Media Composer.

FCP has been dumbed down - er, simplified?  Stupid.  I still have a
machine with a 10 year old OS and software.  From back when it was
competition to Avid.

I keep meaning to delve into Cinelerra and some of the other Linux
video editor - but haven't yet.  8 years ago they were all about
the level of iMovie.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Curt's mystery job

[Rich Thomas]

Barry "gave" Moochelle 2 more weeks vacay as her birfday prezzent, so 
she is camped out at Okrah's place, which is not the same place the 
whole gaggle camped out at.  (Not clear if Okrah is charging the 
taxpayers for the accommodations.) Apparently there is a hospital just 
up the road from Okrah's place, which just so happens to have a 
reputation for the ladies' fixemup procedures, and Mooch has not been 
seen in public since before Christmas.  So, add it all up. 
Interestingly, it has been reported that Mooch and Okrah don't get on 
all that well, butchaknow the gurruls got to stick together... it has 
also been reported that Barry and Mooch aren't gittin on all that well, 
so maybe Okrah is counseling her and talking about a new job if she 
packs on Barry and can't live off the taxpayer any more.


I'm sure we'll get details once the Mooch's traveling circus gets back 
to DC, flying on the taxpayer dime since she did not come back home with 
Barry and the younguns (and I guess granny too, someone needs to watch 
the younguns).  She'll be home in time for her birfday bash, next week I 
think, at which the guests were told to nosh before they come because 
the birfday bash will not include a big feed this time as Mooch has not 
been home to tend to her garden these past few weeks.  Her first lady 
duties have been noticeably absent to the detriment of the American 
civilization, but her staff has been carrying on in her absence no 
doubt, keeping school lunches safe from carbs and sugars.


My invite should be here any day now.

My Dad's business partner was John Mutz (former Lt. Governor of Indiana.)

Dad was a precinct committeeman for years.  In pre-election years when I was a 
little kid I used to spend my weekends doing the door to door thing with him 
getting people registered to vote.

I was never a Young Republican, however,   My brother was, though.  By the time 
I was in high school I realized I wanted nothing to do with this politics 
thing
