Re: [MBZ] Cold weather
In Wisconsin anything above 40F is T shirt and shorts weather. I get a kick out of people down here who are freezing to death when it drops below 50F.

Differential noise is the only thing I can think of that is slower than tire rotation (spyder or carrier), everything else is tire speed or driveshaft speed. Do check for crap rattling in the dust shield for the rear brakes, stuck rear pads (very common, they really need to be pulled every oil change and have the rust removed), and so forth. Also check the half shafts for excessive end to end play -- they start by clicking, then vibrate, then bind and clank, and eventually break or make horrible noises.

Re: [MBZ] Tire pressure gauges
I have no idea what brand it might be, but my favourite is an analog guage about 2 inches in diameter with a rubber hose about a foot long. Easy to use no matter where the valve is on the wheel and big enough for an old buy like me to see even if the light is poor. I had a similar one but without the hose and liked it well enough until I dropped it and broke the glass on the face of it. Still works but . . . I would like to buy another couple like it but have not seen them lately. I also want to buy one intended for low pressure tires. I think they are often advertised for ATV tires etc. RB On 05/11/2014 6:55 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: What is your favorite pressure gauge? What type is it (stick, dial, digital, etc.)?

[MBZ] Another PANHANDLER tale
PANHANDLER II III By Wilton Strickland First, a bit of a preamble: I learned not to answer to non-specific names on a hangar floor in 1957. I was an Air Force E-2 (enlisted, one stripe) in Aircraft and Engine Mechanics School at Sheppard AFB, TX. Walking across the hanger floor early one afternoon, a voice behind me called out, Hey, You! Hey, You! Hey, Airman! I turned and asked the master sergeant up on a second floor walkway behind me, You calling me, Sergeant. His answer, No, but you'll do. Come and clean this latrine. Since then, I've been very careful to answer only to my name or when I'm certain by other means that the caller is addressing ME - to put it another way - I'm very selective in answering any random, general call. Since a confrontation with a panhandler who briefly held me (would not release my right hand after a handshake) at Sam's a coupla months ago, I've been especially vigilant - keep car doors locked and windows up. I've tried for many years to maintain full situational awareness - other vehicles and people around me, but I'm especially careful in parking lots and at the bank ATM. At the ATM last Friday, I noticed a man talking to a woman outside the bank; 'thought they knew each other at first, but by the lady's expressions and actions, soon realized the man was likely a panhandler. 'Finished my ATM transaction and pulled away and around to far edge of the parking and traffic area to properly stow my money and card, while continuing to keep an eye on the panhandler via my outside mirror and thinking, As soon as he sees me, he'll head this way. Shonuff, as I finished stowing my card and money, he saw me and headed for the car, approaching from the rear - 'looked a bit disappointed as I drove away. Well, yesterday, as I pulled into a parking space at Lowe's, I noticed a panhandler between the two rows of parked cars in front of me confronting every customer who passed anywhere near him, especially those exiting the store. While he was busy and had not seen me yet, I assembled my scooter at the rear of the car (takes about 45 seconds) and entered the store, thinking, He'll confront me when I exit. As I exited a little while later, I noticed that the panhandler was not there any more. As I crossed the traffic lane between the store and the parking lot, though, I noticed a car sitting in one of the traffic lanes about 3 car lengths to my left - a man standing talking to the driver, who appeared to be the panhandler I had noticed before. As I passed in front of the car and approaching mine in the first parking spot, a man at the car (the driver, I thought) started calling out, Hey, Buddy! Hey, Buddy! Hey, Man! Hey, Buddy! I never acknowledged any call - just completely ignored it as if I had not heard anything. (BTW, my hearing is excellent - I can hear SWMBO mutter a whisper from across the room with her back to me.) I proceeded directly to the car, disassembled the scooter and stowed it the trunk (again, about 45 seconds), while remaining aware of the car where the driver had called out. As I finished stowing the scooter and started slowly down the left side of the car toward the driver's door and using the car as support, the suspect car pulled up behind me, and the driver started calling out, Hey, Buddy! Hey, Buddy! Hey, Buddy! As I reached the door and opened it immediately with my left hand; I turned my head to the right and looked briefly at the panhandler/driver through his open front passenger window and said in a strong, clear voice, My name not Buddy! Panhandler then tried to engage me in conversation, How ya doin'? My answer, while sliding into the driver seat, Very well, 'cept trouble walking safely without aid. I closed the door behind me and immediately locked everything by pushing the driver's door lock down with my left arm. While locking the door, I was starting the car with my right arm and hand. 'Already had exit route planned - back up just slightly and pull forward with a hard right turn to enter the traffic lane, but as I pulled into gear, panhandler drove away. ___ 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 All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

I was an Air Force E-2 (enlisted, one stripe) in Aircraft and Engine Mechanics School at Sheppard AFB, TX. Walking across the hanger floor early one afternoon, a voice behind me called out, Hey, You! Hey, You! Hey, Airman! I turned and asked the master sergeant up on a second floor walkway behind me, You calling me, Sergeant. His answer, No, but you'll do. Come and clean this latrine. Since then, I've been very careful to answer only to my name or when I'm certain by other means that the caller is addressing ME - to put it another way - I'm very selective in answering any random, general call. Since a confrontation with a panhandler who briefly held me (would not release my right hand after a handshake) at Sam's a coupla months ago, I've been especially vigilant - keep car doors locked and windows up. I've tried for many years to maintain full situational awareness - other vehicles and people around me, but I'm especially careful in parking lots and at the bank ATM. At the ATM last Friday, I noticed a man talking to a woman outside the bank; 'thought they knew each other at first, but by the lady's expressions and actions, soon realized the man was likely a panhandler. 'Finished my ATM transaction and pulled away and around to far edge of the parking and traffic area to properly stow my money and card, while continuing to keep an eye on the panhandler via my outside mirror and thinking, As soon as he sees me, he'll head this way. Shonuff, as I finished stowing my card and money, he saw me and headed for the car, approaching from the rear - 'looked a bit disappointed as I drove away. Well, yesterday, as I pulled into a parking space at Lowe's, I noticed a panhandler between the two rows of parked cars in front of me confronting every customer who passed anywhere near him, especially those exiting the store. While he was busy and had not seen me yet, I assembled my scooter at the rear of the car (takes about 45 seconds) and entered the store, thinking, He'll confront me when I exit. As I exited a little while later, I noticed that the panhandler was not there any more. As I crossed the traffic lane between the store and the parking lot, though, I noticed a car sitting in one of the traffic lanes about 3 car lengths to my left - a man standing talking to the driver, who appeared to be the panhandler I had noticed before. As I passed in front of the car and approaching mine in the first parking spot, a man at the car (the driver, I thought) started calling out, Hey, Buddy! Hey, Buddy! Hey, Man! Hey, Buddy! I never acknowledged any call - just completely ignored it as if I had not heard anything. (BTW, my hearing is excellent - I can hear SWMBO mutter a whisper from across the room with her back to me.) I proceeded directly to the car, disassembled the scooter and stowed it the trunk (again, about 45 seconds), while remaining aware of the car where the driver had called out. As I finished stowing the scooter and started slowly down the left side of the car toward the driver's door and using the car as support, the suspect car pulled up behind me, and the driver started calling out, Hey, Buddy! Hey, Buddy! Hey, Buddy! As I reached the door and opened it immediately with my left hand; I turned my head to the right and looked briefly at the panhandler/driver through his open front passenger window and said in a strong, clear voice, My name not Buddy! Panhandler then tried to engage me in conversation, How ya doin'? My answer, while sliding into the driver seat, Very well, 'cept trouble walking safely without aid. I closed the door behind me and immediately locked everything by pushing the driver's door lock down with my left arm. While

Manfred Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2014 11:45:39 -0600 From: Randy Bennell rbenn...@bennell.ca Is it possible to save video from Youtube? The problem with internet, is that one never knows how long information will stay up and available. Sometimes, one sees things that one would like to save.

When I worked at an elementary school and it was in the 50s or colder, it was fun to watch the kids come in with their parkas, hats and mittens. The first day it dropped below 70F my 10yo daughter pulled out her gloves, scarf, and hat (not her heavy coat, oddly). Meanwhile my 11yo older son still only wears shorts and short sleeves, down to about 40F so far. Go figure...

If they are properly trained by their company risk management section [all large companies have them now] they will alert police and the people working the parking lot will be taken off the field. Think of it as fighter escort out of the target area. If you do it when you enter the store, by the time you leave fighter escort will have already arrived.

Pretty good looking car, but rust in the rockers. I'd say $2000 or $2500 is tops for someone who knows and really wants a 240D. I'd not expect him to get $3800 for it. More likely a $1500 car. ___ 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 All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
