Understatement of the year. What a POS.  MAACO repaint?  I don't recognize

Well, I guess at this point the only question that remains is, "which Mercedes 
model/year contains the most carbs and which the fewest?" I always thought the 
SLs looked a little fruity while the Unimogs and full size sedans must contain 
high amounts of sugars and carbs. Knowing the facts about the different models 
will let you match yourself with the car you drive. It's nice to know a lot of 
you are trying to stay healthy. Myself...breads are the weight problem. I try 
to stay away, but it's difficult.

[MBZ] Cheap Scanner

Some guys on BW have bought these scanners and said they show all of the 
engine, transmission and chassis module data from W210s and earlier cars.  They 
don’t communicate with the body modules like SAM, doors, seats, etc. but will 
read all of the engine and transmission data through the 38 pin connector.  
They have Bluetooth which means you don’t even have to cable up to them and can 
read stuff in real time while driving, which is nice, too.

Yes, that's my understanding, total carbs count, but sugar carbs are worse, and 
HFCS moves the needle all the way to evil.  Need balance to make sure you still 
get fibre.

Re: [MBZ] Now Fruits - was BAT crack prediction

Yes, that's a little high.  

Ate something the other day, don't recall what, but about twenty carbs total, 
three of which were sugar, and I thought of Kaleb trying to cut back on carbs 
but still needing the fibre...

Re: [MBZ] Now Fruits - was BAT crack prediction

Last night when I ate dinner I was not really that hungry. If you cut your 
portions way down it seems you adjust to the lower amount of food and will be 
hungry and first but after you get used it, you are not hungry anymore. Cutting 
carbs also leads to you not being hungry all the time also, or so I read.

Re: [MBZ] Now Fruits - was BAT crack prediction

I am basically just focused on cutting sweats and high carb starch food. I 
would love to have some potatoes but so far not eating them. Just doing that 
will cut the carbs way down. No bread items either. 

Today I had a taco salad with no beans and did not eat the shell and had 2 eggs 
and bacon for a meeting this morning st IHOP and only at 11 carbs for the day 
out of the 103 I have allowed myself. I have this app set for 103 carbs which 
you put in how much per week you want to lose then set what sort of carb/fat 
ratio you want and it give you a daily number to hit. The most carbs I have had 
since starting this was 49 one day. Most days I have been just slightly over 
20. Surely on this plan I will loose weight.

That's not really "use of a torque wrench".  If that technique was
tried anyplace but a tire shop it would be condemned!

Use the impact wrench set to it's lowest setting to spin the nuts
until they touch the rim.  Use the torque wrench to torque them.

I guess expecting a tire shop to correctly use their tools is too
optimistic... 

As I understand, the torque limiting extension sockets really
work.  My issue is I grease the lugs, so the dry torque spec. is
way too much.  In general, I do all the tire work myself.

What I like is when they use a rattle gun with a torque limiting extension on 
it, then check it with a clicker. If it clicks without turning the lug, they 
think it's spot on. If I had a tire shop, every rattle gun would have a 60lb 
limiting extension brazed onto it.

Re: [MBZ] Now Fruits - was BAT crack prediction

I just try to base it on plate real estate.  I use half of what I was 
previously.  I may still be eating too much at this point, but I’m eating less, 
so that’s a start.  I have trained myself to skip meals or change my eating 
habits in the past without a lot of difficulty, so I’m sure I’ll be successful 
with this.  I can go from wake up to supper with nothing more than water and a 
yogurt, at least until I discovered how many carbs there are in nonfat yogurt!

Hence the desire to find some healthier alternatives.

SWMBette and I both can't taste bitter like SWMBO, so I love the sour
taste.  I eat one grapefruit per day.

Sprinkling sugar?  This is the healthy eating channel now, we've got to fix
our Karma after the chowda-Q!!

Re: [MBZ] OT: Defensive gun usage

Good points, and those all probably weighed into the decision to not press
charges.

However, skin-color-matters-if-its-black, so if there is a public outcry
then perhaps the police will cave and file charges.

Re: [MBZ] OT sign of the times - be careful out there!

2017-10-18 Thread OK Don via Mercedes

It looked like it was a fly by of the tower, and not the full length of the
runway, hence the turn near the terminal. Can't see whether it was directly
over the terminal or not. It was not what those not on the radio expected,
therefore it was scary.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Defensive gun usage

The perps: Lasupta Singletary, 18, and Jernalen Dreshaw Coleman, 17

Coleman was sentenced to one year of probation in February for carrying
a concealed firearm, according to state records. Singletary of
Zephyrhills was arrested in April on charges of armed burglary, larceny
and grand theft auto and for similar charges a month later. The status
of those cases is unclear.

It doesn't appear either teen legally owned the guns in Monday's
incident, Gandy said.

http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/police-woman-shoots-kills-teen-who-tried-to-carjack-her-in-clearwater/2341342

Perhaps if Florida had more stringent gun laws the teens would not have
had the guns? Or if there were more stringent restrictions on concealed
carry, Jernalen would not have been carrying? Or not carrying after
being convicted of carrying? Clearly more laws would have prevented
Jernalen from his miscreancy. Lasupta might not have yet been
convicted, so I guess it would be OK for him to have a weapon, even at
the age of 18. But if there were more stringent laws against armed
burglary, larceny, and grand theft auto this might not have happened either.

Re: [MBZ] Now Fruits - was BAT crack prediction

I like dates, too.  I have had luck with grapes at Costco.  It’s so difficult 
to find ones that are ripe.  I don’t understand why people eat the ones with 
the green stems, as they taste awful.  If the stems aren’t brown, they’re not 
typically ripe.

I’ve got a really good farmer’s market in town that’s open 7 days a week 
starting at 4:30 am.  They have every imaginable fruit and vegetable on hand.  
I’m going there tomorrow at lunch, I think.

Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

I've found that the use of torque wrenches is over blown. If you rattlegun the 
lugnut down to 150#, the torque wrench will click over at 80# no problem.
I once had to take my car back to a tire retailer because I couldn't get the 
lugs off no matter what.

Which reminds me, at camp last week I sharpened the blades on the bush hog. 
This is a 6 foot brush mower. The blades are held on by 1 1/8" carriage bolts. 
To get them off I use my 3/4" ratchet with a 5 foot cheater bar... Takes a lot 
of force...

Re: [MBZ] Now Fruits - was BAT crack prediction

Prunes are much the same.

I’m trying to find some different fruits to get my sweet tooth fix.  I like 
figs and raisins.  If anyone has other suggestions, I’m all ears.

Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

I would add that I was suitably impressed to see that Costco has a calibrated 
test stand where they were checking their torque wrenches before starting the 
day in the shop.  Rattle guns are the bane of tire changing.

No ground hogs here.  Squirrels and armadillos.  Raccoons, too, but they seem

elsewhere.  Also, the warranty booklet says you can have the tire repaired or

Just to be sure I got the SKU for my tire and was able to find the exact same

I had a flat on Monday morning.

Drove out of the garage, turned on to the street, noticed that the car 
seemed to be pulling to the let a bit. Pulled over, stopped, got out 
and took a look. Left front tire was flat as a board. I had driven 
close to a block on it, so I’m sure I probably trashed it. Tires that 
were on the car were expensive Michelins that had date codes from 
about 6-7 years ago, and were starting to dry rot on the edges as 
Michelins seem to be prone to doing in this climate. Too bad, as they 
had a decent amount of tread left on them. The spare was the same set 
and brand new. Still had the stickers on the tread.


Checked my Tires Plus guys for deals, nothing going there. I have been 
using Falkens on my cars of late and been quite pleased with the value 
to wear ratio, so I figured I would go that route. On a whim I looked 
at Costco. WOW! They had a Michelin deal going with $70 off a set of 
four tires and $0.01/tire installation. It ended that day, so I went 
there on the way home and bought a set of Michelin MXs for $501.00 out 
the door installed.


I would have spent near that for the Falkens, so I figured I would go 
for the Michelins.

[MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

the Nokians are supposed to show up today.  Shipped from Tulsa, so Klen 
is not too fur from somebody that sell em cheap.


Discount tar direct was a few bux higher, but they were willing to meet 
the price.  They did not have em in stock  though, and Tulsa did.


We will see in 3-5 yrs how well they hold up.

of Michelins put on it.

Pretty sad, a commercial airplane does something that _might_ make me say
"Cool!" but instead incites screams of terror from observers on the 
ground.

I’ve got some of that as we have a glass cooktop. Hmm. I’ll give it a try.

There are a number of YouTube videos out there by both amateurs and 
professional glass people showing how to use this stuff to polish 
glass and take out scratches. It doesn’t look difficult.


Thanks!

It was perfectly ground to the wrong figure. IIRC it was ground parabolic
and needed to be hyperbolic because of the telescope's optical
configuration.

Re: [MBZ] OT buy my Christmas present early

I am really jonesing for one of these after my R of the dash in SWMBO's
Infiniti.  I used my cheapo HF drill to perform a lot of the take-apart and
put-it-back, and the time savings over using hand tools is huge.  There
were a few tight spots that wouldn't fit my HF drill, and I feared
stripping out plastic threads with the crude HF drill trigger, thus my
desire for one of these.

Re: [MBZ] OT buy my Christmas present early

I've got a Bosch adjustable/right angle driver that uses those batteries 
and the things just won't die.  Great tools.  I did buy a small drill 
like that (not a driver but a drill) at Lowes for $5 a few years ago, 
was a shelf demo model, no battery (but then I got 2 batteries later for 
$5 too) which has stripped a gear so won't turn, gotta fix it.

A B-i-L was big into star gawping.  He build his own peeper and milled mirrors 
for it.  That took a bunch of time, and ended up with early hubble optics due 
to not paying proper attention and grinding the thing too deep.  From chatting 
with him, it wants low and slow to get a good polish to glass.  I am not sure 
something as large as a windscreen could be done in a timely manner.  Something 
like 12 hours with multiple DA units to move over the whole surface in a full

My rear window on the wagon has wear on it from the wiper, and I was thinking 
about having at it with some cerium oxide and my RO polisher.  It looks like 
you need a felt pad to polish with, too.  I ran some rubbing compound on it 
with the RO and a foam pad the other day but that didn’t seem to phase it.

I see a number of kits out there as well, but was wondering if anyone had some 
direct experience with this stuff before I go at it blindly.
