It is great to hear of your recent blessings. Thank you. Tell us about this eye issue. Did the surgery cause this? No, her cataract surgery did not cause the additional problems. She has been a diabetic for 55 years. The retinopathy (leaking blood vessels in the retina) that required the two vitrectomies was a diabetes complication. I understand cataract surgery is flawless these days, but I still hesitate to do it due to concern about this type of problem happening. I can understand your hesitation. Her cataract surgeries went well. For some of those who have cataract surgery (particularly diabetics), the capsule that holds the lens gets cloudy and obscures the vision (which is what happened to Shirley). A quick surgery with a YAG laser to cut radial slots in the capsule behind the lens solves the problem. When the pieces between the slots are freed up by the laser, surface tension causes them to fold back out of the way, allowing the light to pass and restore vision. Plus, $$ is a problem getting this done. Any information from anyone else? Tell me surgery is okay and inexpensive. Cataract surgery is okay, but is not inexpensive. Our local eye doctor establishment discounts their charges for people without insurance to $2500 per eye. I don't know how much they would charge for a capsulotomy without insurance, but they billed our insurance something like $700 for the procedure.

Re: [MBZ] First and subsequent cars
The '34 Chevies; the '33 was probably about the same; were some of the best cars Chevy ever built. I had a '35 Chevy which was probably the worst car Chevy ever built. Someone in the family clan had one of those gasoline heaters which were fantastic, but I don't remember them in the late '30s. I remember comments about how dangerous they were, but don't remember anyone getting burned. High school friend Charley had a '34 Chevy during WW-2. The muffler blew out so he ran it straight pipe since new parts were unavailable, and there were no mufflers in the local junkyard that would fit. He would load up 5 or 6 of us high school boys and go roaring through our small town in 2nd gear right past the police station. The town marshall never bothered him since Charley wasn't speeding and he knew about the parts shortage. Several of us learned to fly Civil Air Patrol (CAP) planes and Charley was one of them, but he yearned to fly a low wing guy wired army trainer at the airport that belonged to a local hatchery owner. Charley borrowed it one evening after the FBO closed and had a great time doing acrobatics. He ended his adventure by buzzing his girlfriends farmhouse, but something went wrong and he crashed in her daddys corn field. The damage to the plane wasn't too severe and Charley wasn't hurt. In restitution, Charley had to spend several hours every day after school at the hatchery cleaning cages and shoveling sh*t as he described it. Since Charley was basically a good kid that nearly everyone liked, the hatchery owner finally took mercy on him, taught him the fine points of flying the traimer, and let him fly it at times since he was a natural pilot. Charley dropped out of high school and joined the army, thinking he would be sent to flying school, but the war was over in Europe soon after and Charley unhappily went into the infantry. Marshall Field wrote: My first car was a '33 Chev coupe which I paid 35 bux for. I used it to deliver newspapers and go fishing in the summer. After my first sub-zero Minnesota winter of driving it, my Grandfather sold me his '36 Ford two door which had a marvelous gas fired heater which gave you roaring heat within a minute of start up. It was a grand combination which I used for the rest of my paper boy career. When I came back from VN, I bought two cars at the same time. The first was a '66 Shelby GT350 which I stupidly sold with much regret 5 years later.I was living in South NJ at the time and would slink down to the deserted road to Atlantic City late at night to open it up full bore and keep the plugs from fouling. The second car I bought was a '67 Ford Bronco with 289 and limited slip front and rear. I drove that car for the next 44 years and 623,000 miles all over Canada, Mexico and the Southwest US. I was doing a lot of off road driving in those days and never once did the Bronco strand me or fail to get me home. I only did one engine rebuild, and that was close to 500,000 miles. My first MB was a 114 series 280 sedan. IT was a delight to drive but in those days, the MB engineers had to use hot water in an attempt to control emissions. Pipes and hoses ran everywhere under the hood and the car was a monster to keep running because of it. Of late, I have been strictly diesel. I have two 123 diesel sedans, a '77 and a California version '85, and a '81 300TD wagon I live in a brutal desert climate. If you break down, you can die in a half day from the heat and dehydration.So I keep the cars in tip top shade and do not skimp on tires, oil, under hood rubber or scheduled maintenance. My orientation is Aviation, so I maintain the cars as if they were aircraft and follow the MB recommendations strictly by the book.

That was also my question. When mowing the lawn, I try to make circles instead of going back and forth. One can cover more ground more quickly that way.

That is great Craig! Congratulations! How is my former 95 E320 doing? -Original Message- From: Craig [mailto:diese...@pisquared.net] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2015 6:21 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] OT: Update XXXIX: SHE CAN READ (and other information)! After a year of problems with her eyes, Shirley can finally read! She got new lenses after her cataract surgeries last summer, but with the vitrectomies in her left eye and the capsulotomy in her right eye, her eyes changed enough to make those lenses useless for reading. At her final visit at Eye Associates in Santa Fe with the retinologist on 13 January, we asked about her reading problems. The technician had done a refraction at the beginning of her appointment; the doctor said that the new prescription just generated would solve her reading problems. Shirley then went to Eye Associates Optical in Los Alamos (affiliated with the medical section of Eye Associates) with the new prescription. We were expecting to pay for new lenses, but when the lady there looked at her record, she said that since it was so soon after she got her previous lenses, they would cover the cost of the new lenses! Praise the Lord! I was somewhat apprehensive that the new lenses would really solve the problem, but when Shirley got the lenses, she said she could read. She has packed away the large magnifying glass she had been using and is reading well. She may have to have a capsulotomy on her left eye in the future, but she is functioning well now. In other news :-), WE HAVE A CONTRACT ON OUR HOUSE!!! Another Praise the Lord! The contract is with a young man named Peter and his wife Sarah, who are currently residing in Houston, Texas. Peter grew up in Albuquerque and Sarah grew up here in Los Alamos. Sarah had seen our home on zillow.com and had asked her parents, who live not too far from us here on Barranca Mesa, to come and look at the house. They came on 24 January and were impressed by the house. After they reported back to her, I received an email from and called Peter and later received a call from Sarah. In our conversation, Peter said he had received his official offer from the Lab here and was planning on coming out for a house-hunting trip on 14 February. After talking with his new supervisor at the Lab, Peter found they wanted him to start work on 06 April! He moved up his trip to this past weekend, with us showing the house to him and his mother-in-law on Saturday, 31 January. Late yesterday afternoon he called us and said he wanted to come over to talk about an offer. After he made a reasonable offer, we hashed out the details and agreed to meet at Los Alamos National Bank (LANB) at 0900 this morning. One detail that concerned me is that the house will have to close on 01 April, with them getting posession then, 8-1/2 weeks from now. After praying about our meeting, I met Peter in the lobby of LANB. We wondered whether we should go to the title company in the lobby, or to the bank's loan officers on the second floor. We decided to go to the title company, which proved to be the correct choice. The lady with whom we spoke at the title company, Patti, was, as Peter said, Awesome! We went into the office and I said, This young man wants to buy my house. Peter said that we were wondering whether we should see them or the loan officer first. Patti said we had come to the correct place and that they did this every day. She said we didn't need a realtor and would be happy to guide us through the process. She then took us into their conference room where we discussed the transaction. She then got copies of a contract form for the three of us and went through each item, telling us what it meant and suggesting how we should handle it. Peter and I then went about filling out the contract form, discussing how we would handle closing costs, inspections, and other things. After filling it out, the president of the title company reviewed it and said things were OK. We then went across the lobby to the bank where Peter transferred the earnest money to the title company's escrow account. After a brief trip back to the title company to find telephone numbers for inspectors, we shook hands and departed. So, praise the Lord, we are progressing on the sale of the house! Things to pray about now include, - Getting a high-enough appraisal for Peter to be able to get the loan from LANB, - Timely processing and funding of the loan, - Timely inspections and survey, - Wisdom, health, strength, and help for Shirley and me to get all things done we need to to be able to move out on 01 April and head for Indiana.

Re: [MBZ] elementary school cars
When I was a kid, this would have been like 1960 -62 or so, our neighbor Jack (to whom my dad referred, in private, as Jackleg which I guess was derogatory in some fashion) had a light blue Renault, I think it was a Dauphine, that was pretty clapped out, as was a succession of his various vehicles. I remember him spending several late evenings underneath the thing, up on stands in the street in front of his house, doing a bottom-end job on it. Of course, being a furrin car, this engendered all sorts of remarks amongst the neighbors about what a POS it must be (though at the time I don't think any of them used the S word, at least not where I could hear it). Jackleg's family, which included 2 chirruns about my age, also had a pet raccoon and a very large black cat, which I thought was pretty cool. I also thought his mechanical pursuits to be quite interesting but I was not allowed to get near the vehicle while it was being worked on, so never really saw what was actually going on under there. I remember there being a commercial on TV about that time for that car, it had a little jingle that went Renault 'beepbeep' Dauphine, where the beepbeep was the sound of the horn, which was very freench-sounding. It was quite catchy, since I remember it still. --R On 2/2/15 1:58 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: My sister had a Dauphine.

Re: [MBZ] Secret message for Dan
I have heard similar stories in that if the properties are foreclosed the true value will appear on their balance sheet, devaluing their assets significantly. There are also procedural issues in some states, Florida being one of those. This isn't the first multi-year foreclosure we know of. There was one in our old neighborhood (as was the original one I mentioned) two doors down from our old house that was in foreclosure for over four years. We contacted the lender about purchasing it and they were totally noncommittal about selling, closing it out, etc. Dan Sent from my iPad On Feb 3, 2015, at 10:39 AM, Rich Thomas via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: I was told by a realtor friend that the banks don't like to foreclose because then the bad asset moves to some other category and it makes the bank look bad in audits or whatever, so they just let them ride without moving on the foreclosure.

Running OK, but with some niggling problems. - The rear window defrost switch recently started not latching on like it's supposed to. Yesterday, I held the switch in its upper position as I was driving to defrost the rear window. After awhile, it decided it would stay on when I released the switch, but by that time the window was nearly defrosted. - The four-way emergency flashers stopped working. At one point, pressing the switch would cause the bulb-out light to come on. Now, nothing happens. I got a new switch from Kaleb, but now I'm not sure that's the entire problem. I need to find a schematic of the circuitry. - The check engine light has been on, with an error code of 23, which is the up-shift delay when the engine is cold. That causes the transmission to stay in a lower gear, forcing the engine to go to higher RPM to cause the catalytic converter to be heated up more quickly. Since it was causing the engine to go well over 3000 RPM when it was stone cold, I'm just as glad it's not working; I don't want to rev a cold engine that high, particularly when the temperature is in the single digits. I did some research about it online and think there is some way to have it not do that but still have the computer think everything is OK. I haven't gotten any further than that, though the CEL has been on for many thousands of miles. - The passenger-side mirror doesn't move horizontally -- a linkage is broken as I understand it. I'm still waiting for parts from Kaleb. - The 205/55-16 Nokian WRG2 tires I had put on our E420 but transferred to the E320 when the E420 was wrecked are nearly worn out, so I need to buy new tires. I have a complete set of 15 rims, so I am planning on putting winter tires on those and a set of summer tires on the 16 rims.

Re: [MBZ] Secret message for Dan
It's not just banks. We have neighbors living in a USDA loan house who haven't made a house payment in years. It would be interesting to know just how common this (unexecuted foreclosures) is in the US. I suspect there is a great deal being swept under the rug these days.

Re: [MBZ] Secret message for Dan
We know a former neighbor who was in her foreclosed home for over five years. She moved out and her ex-husband moved in a couple of months ago. The bank still hasn't foreclosed on them.

On every dollar in interest you pay, you deduct 28 cents from your tax bill. The only ones making out are the banks. Spend a dollar, get 28 cents back. Better odds at a casino. Pay the house off, and be done. OR Rent it out, buy a multi-million dollar mansion, don't make a payment, and wait to see if the bank ever throws you out.

Re: [MBZ] 71 220 Poor car
When I was in college, I worked a few days a week as a lot boy at a used car lot. In the back lot, they had an old 69 or 70 Buick Electra 225. A real land barge. I asked one day if I should wash it. The old man told me he would just as soon get rid of the car, but he said he would sell it for $60. I have no idea how he came up with that number. But, I called a few friends at School and 3 of us put up $20 each and bought the car. It actually started and the tires held air. So, we bought it just to take it out to one of the guys parents farm. We crashed it into trees, tried to tear out the transmission by slamming it into reverse at 40 mph, we just had a demolition derby with it. Finally, we accidentally busted the radiator and our fun was over. We took the D tag off it and left it in the field. It was definitely $20 worth of fun. I think my friend's dad rescued the car, fixed a few things on it and sold it for $400-500. -Original Message- From: clay [mailto:redgh...@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 3:14 PM To: Donald Snook; Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] 71 220 Poor car I paid $150 for a something like that and it actually runs clay On Feb 3, 2015, at 11:09 AM, Donald Snook via Mercedes wrote: http://wichita.craigslist.org/cto/4875525251.html ___ 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.
