Still sort of tempted to get a GM car with the 1.4L turbo, but I think I've 
gotten over that bug. I'm thinking such a car would do low 40s at 70mph or maybe 
50 at 55mph. AFAIK, nothing available in USA beats or even matches a 15 year old

[MBZ] OT computer virus which corrupts contact list?

Has anyone experienced a virus which corrupts your email contacts?

My wife's iPhone 4s contacts and her contacts saved in MS Outlook have been
corrupted, typically by the email address changed by one letter (for
instance, cindyjo...@isp.com becomes condyjo...@isp.com).

Some contacts also get deleted entirely.

Not that simple, it's also affecting her iPhone, which has a totally

In addition, her iPhone periodically drops all the gmail contacts and
calendar events.  Deleting the gmail account from the phone and then adding
it back will restore both.

Gout an update from my mechanic. Pump is good.  Seems the hose is
completely blocked.  Could also be a booster problem but he can't check the
booster until he replaces the hose.  WIll get definitive answer tomorrow.

 You need to get a Mityvac and have at the various hoses and connections.
 You'll track it down soon enough.

 You can see if there is vacuum coming from the pump or not.  If there is
 then there is a leak in a line or your brake booster or some other part in
 the system.  It is easy enough to check where, the lines to the locks go
 off behind the brake line (I think, been awhile since I have done this) so
 you can disconnect the connector and plug up the line, then see if the
 brakes work.  The shutoff line is along there too, just look where the
 hoses go.  You can plug the lines with a golf tee or pencil.  It should
 pull down pretty far, if not much vacuum then you have a leak in the line
 from the pump or the diaphragm.

 Those connectors disintegrate and leak, I ended up making another one for
 in front of the brake booster on the TD from some barb fittings and a tee
 from Home Depot.  Works fine and will last forever, I think even cheaper
 than the actual part.  The vac hoses under the hood can rot too, vac hose
 is cheap.

 Remember, this is one case where if it sucks, that is good.

 My pessimistic half is betting on the vacuum pump, the most expensive
 scenaro ($350 + labor).

 The junkyard / breakers / pick and pull is your friend. I had one break
 mechanically. It sounded like a rod was going to let loose. $60 later with
 a trip to the bone yard, and it was all better. Potomac German Auto is
 close by, yes? Call and maybe they have one and will ship...?

  At FCP Euro we pride ourselves on leading the industry in service,
 shipping, and warranty. We've tried to rethink what the experience should
 be, and today we're announcing another industry first.
 
  A new website that's faster, more secure, and accessible.
 
  We designed the website around some of the most popular part-finding
 applications in the industry, and we've extensively tested it with DIY
 customers and enthusiasts alike, but we're continuing to work hard every
 day to make it even better.
 
  We're certain you'll enjoy the new experience as it stands today on FCP

 but rest assured, there's a tank full of features waiting to be deployed
 that will only make it better in 2015. I welcome you to let me know what

 Still sort of tempted to get a GM car with the 1.4L turbo, but I think I've 
 gotten over that bug. I'm thinking such a car would do low 40s at 70mph or 
 maybe 
 50 at 55mph.

G: Friend has been happy with a Volt for several years. Since it's a plug-in he 
gets very low cost-per-mile and he's had no repairs after 50K miles.
On road trips he gets mpg in the low 40's. 

G: Son has a Ford Fusion hybrid that got 37 mpg at 70 mph on trip from 
Nashville to Orlando. When I drove it, the mpg pattern on the display was 
similar to the mpg pattern on the Prius. It probably get something less than a 
Prius locally since it's a heavier car. At 100K+ miles he has some sort of 
noise the mechanics can't identify, so he's waiting until he buys the next set 
of tires; tires being a common cause for such noises.

G: Nearly all speed limits in this county are 45 mph, so I drive around at 50 
and the display shows 56 mpg on the Prius. Haven't yet checked the mpg by the 
usual methods.

 AFAIK, nothing available in USA beats or even matches a 15 year old

We do have several veterans on the list. As a matter of curiosity, who
are you? In what branch did you serve or are you serving? What dates?

Here is what I know; you will have to edit and add the rest.

 I've
  gotten over that bug. I'm thinking such a car would do low 40s at 70mph

  50 at 55mph.

 G: Friend has been happy with a Volt for several years. Since it's a
 plug-in he gets very low cost-per-mile and he's had no repairs after 50K
 miles.
 On road trips he gets mpg in the low 40's.

 G: Son has a Ford Fusion hybrid that got 37 mpg at 70 mph on trip from
 Nashville to Orlando. When I drove it, the mpg pattern on the display was
 similar to the mpg pattern on the Prius. It probably get something less
 than a Prius locally since it's a heavier car. At 100K+ miles he has some
 sort of noise the mechanics can't identify, so he's waiting until he buys
 the next set of tires; tires being a common cause for such noises.

 G: Nearly all speed limits in this county are 45 mph, so I drive around at
 50 and the display shows 56 mpg on the Prius. Haven't yet checked the mpg
 by the usual methods.

  AFAIK, nothing available in USA beats or even matches a 15 year old
  Honda Insight. The problem with 2 seat Insights is that they're all
 either worn
  out with 200-300k miles on them, have dead batteries, or aren't for sale.

Thanks for telling us about fecal transplant.
I heard about this several months ago on NPR program titled People's

emphasis on autoimmune as catch-all for many malady these days.  It
sounds more like the '80's all over again with acquired immune
deficiency which carries negative connotation, but difficile seems to
be of a much different character than some odd personal habits...
fwiw.  Yeah, don't bring out the pooserator for that comment - ya
gotta admit the acquired stuff is connected with personal habit.
Please keep us up-to-date about difficile fecal treatments, just to be

from pigs was quite the odd thing, until pharma picked it up as a

He sold his Benz and bought a cheap truck or something, so really had no 
need to stay on a Benz list.  The political stuff was probably more of 
an irritant.


He was enlisted in the USCG then did the officer thing after some time, 
hence the Lt in LtDon.


I always found his views on things mildly entertaining, especially his 
stories about his charges at the home.  And the fatass he took for a 
ride somewhere in the Benz.

[MBZ] the DOT

2014-11-11 Thread Rick Hawkins Java via Mercedes
Folks

i have a pretty good knowledge of the DOT.

I have an Isuzu NPR which is over 10,000 lbs GVW.

I am NOT required to have a CDL because it is under 26,000 lbs and does not 
have air brakes.

I AM required to have a DOT medical (which you can get from certain 
chiropractors) I went to one and he did a good eye test and DID check for 
diabetes and general stuff. $40.

The medical is every 2 years.

I have to have a couple of notebooks of DOT forms.

I have to do various vehicle inspections yearly by the inspector (who is ME. I 
qualify since i've been a mechanic for over 40 years ….. and there is a form 
for that, too.)

I was contacted by the local DOT (but still FEDS) for a safety audit. I assumed 
he wanted to inspect my truck. No, he wanted to see my PAPERWORK. I had to 
scurry and spend a week or so getting that all together.

I passed with an A+++

He loved all my form and dividers in the notebooks

I have to pay $75 per year for UCR

http://www.ucr.in.gov/MCS/UCRFAQ.pdf

that allows me to be in and out of state

It's quite a hassle.

When i drive less than 150 miles from home i can be on a time card but if i 
am over 150 miles i have to be on regular trucker logs.

All the forms are downloadable from the DOT

I am limited to trucker hours of driving but all of that is pen and paper stuff.

I do not have to have a drug program since i have only one driver and truck (me 
and the NPR)

THEORETICALLY you could drive an NPR as an RV with none of this, but it would 
have to look like and RV i would assume.

I have to stop at all weigh stations etc.

FORTUNATELY my white 14 foot box truck is pretty generic and blends in with all 
the others and the DOT and weigh station people seem to have very little 
interest in my or my truck

I do keep all the lights working … markers, etc etc.

Mercedes content … it's simpler to drag presses behind my 300td, but sometimes 
the stuff is too heavy.

In state is a piece of cake.


thanks,

xx rick

Re: [MBZ] Car delivery jobs?

2014-11-11 Thread Mountain Man via Mercedes
I don't recall the original WILTON son experience, but my son
mentioned FAA hires many in that fatal sin arena of 54+ - perhaps
FAA requires aircraft experience.  Maybe the WILTON BUFF experience
can pull some rank for son?

My added spin is that I complain about the diss that is shown to
workers aged 50+ that include me but I think us old folk need to step
aside and let the young ones have jobs/income/earnings/investments
that we might gather.  We made it to 50+ and perhaps if we don't step
aside the young ones might not make it to 50+?  Actually, maybe I'm
depressed, but I don't really care anymore to be here.  Things seem
too messed up and seem to be getting there faster than getting better
and that is probably an old-guy depression mode thing rather than a
problem in the workforce needs.  I mean, I had my day in the sun
making a paycheck, so... let someone else have a crack at it.  My
literal net worth is $0 and unless a gifting happens, nothing will
make that net worth improve.  Decent health is my biggest net worth
and I don't need insco taking premiums from the the social security.
Savings for retirement never happened nor did any investments - we ate
what we earned and here we are just like the majority of people ever
on the planet.  Insco/retirement/investments seem to be big today, but
99% of the planet has none - I'm in good company so I let the young
ones take any earnings that I might want.
