Ok thanks. May give them a shot. Or just try myself.

Am reading a book about coastal geomorphology. Louisiana has lost 1900
square miles of area to the ocean already and is headed toward another 2500
by 2060 at the current rate. I didnt know it was that pronounced. Part sea
level rise and part damming of the mississippi.

Re: [MBZ] OT (for Rich): Ongoing nuke soap opera in SC

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

Washington had a massive fraud event on a pretty egregious level.  Billions of 
tax payer dollars to build five power plants.  Only one ever came online.  The 
public utilities sold bonds for the build.  Rate payers ended up with the bill. 
 This was around 1984.  Known as Whoops!  We were going to get electrons for 
less than it cost to suck them out of the rivers with dams.  Screw BPA.  

A person would think somebody would have done a bit of research and found this 
out.

Re: [MBZ] OT (for Rich): Ongoing nuke soap opera in SC

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

When I was there they kept having alarms for "Airborne" which made 
everything stop until they found the problem.  Usually it was false 
alarms.  It's been a while since I was there - seems like Duke Power & 
Light was involved as a partner in the fiasco. I don't think Central SC 
is on a earthquake fault but most of the mode we installed were mandated 
following the mess at 3 mile Island.  We had to install pipe supports 
the size of desks to support 2" or 3" Fire Water pipe "in case".  I'm 
all for safety but there should have been risk analysis done.   The work 
crew would go into the containment, suit up (about 1.5 hr) then they'd 
go in through the safety doors which took another 1.5 ho for the crew to 
all be inside.  By now it's approaching 10am and at 1115 (IIRC) they'd 
come out, change clothes and put street clothes back on, get lunch and 
then "around" 1PM they'd start going back into the containment requiring 
the jump suits, duct tape around the ankles and wrists, booties masks 
hats, etc then start going through the interlock chamber (again iirc) 
and the whole thing would start over.  Of course they'd come out for 
their afternoon break around 230 and by the take they took their 30 min 
and suited back up, etc, etc they'd be back in and if we were lucky we'd 
get maybe (on a good day) 2 hours of productivity.  I think the crazy 
break rules may have come from Duke P&L which I think was a union shop.  
But I may be confusing the Airborne alarms with the Nuke I worked in 
Ill.  Seems they had them constantly...


(This was back in the early 80s and things are hopefully different now)  
I hope...  And people wonder why nukes had trouble meeting schedules and 
budgets


Ahh, memories ;-)   I'm possibly confusing the memories a bit... but I 
don't think so...

A former accountant for Scana Corp. has testified that top executives at
the utility pressured her to lie to regulators about how much it would cost
to complete a S.C. nuclear project that was later abandoned.

Carlette Walker, who was responsible for spending oversight at the V.C.
Summer project, had to give sworn statements to state regulators on the
increased rates that subsidiary SCE&G was charging customers to fund the
two reactors.

Walker said she quit in June 2016 "because I wasn't going to lie," and
named a former chief executive, a former operations chief and former chief
financial officer when asked during the deposition who forced her to lie.

A voicemail left by Walker in early 2016 was also played for the circuit
court judge, who is overseeing the civil suit that seeks $2 billion in
compensation for utility customers — the amount they've paid to date for
the project.

In the voicemail, Walker is heard accusing Scana executives of "breaking
every friggin' law that you can break," and propping up the project to hit
profit targets and collect millions in bonuses (Tom Barton, Columbia [S.C.]

[MBZ] (no subject)

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

Anyone know of a shop that rebuilds rear ends? I'm putting a wavetrac lsd
into a 91 500sl diff. Apparently pretty straightforward except some of the
shims are nla so need to grind down to suit. Pinion does not need to come
out.

Anyone rebuild one of these things? It is non asr non lsd now. Going into
the 124.

Thanks

Re: [MBZ] BAT crack

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

Is this some sort of a trick question? Mercedesmotoring has been moving
redone wagons for 40k for awhile now. Just like 60s and 70s muscle cars,
which are all pretty much junk, but the people with nostalgia for them have
money. At least these old merc cars have some good design features and
higher quality components.

Seems more than a "little sketchy" to me With a copy of the credit card

This thing is turning out to be the most massive fraud ever perpetrated on the 
public (SC anyway) and a goodly fraction of our elected “representatives” are 
totally complicit in it. The utility and its investors need to take the haircut 
and a whole bunch from top to bottom public and private and in-between need to 
go to prison after losing everything they have.

[MBZ] OT (for Rich): Ongoing nuke soap opera in SC

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

UTILITIESScana accountant testifies she was made to lie about reactor
costsPublished:
Tuesday, August 7, 2018

A former accountant for Scana Corp. has testified that top executives at
the utility pressured her to lie to regulators about how much it would cost
to complete a S.C. nuclear project that was later abandoned.

Carlette Walker, who was responsible for spending oversight at the V.C.
Summer project, had to give sworn statements to state regulators on the
increased rates that subsidiary SCE&G was charging customers to fund the
two reactors.

Walker said she quit in June 2016 "because I wasn't going to lie," and
named a former chief executive, a former operations chief and former chief
financial officer when asked during the deposition who forced her to lie.

A voicemail left by Walker in early 2016 was also played for the circuit
court judge, who is overseeing the civil suit that seeks $2 billion in
compensation for utility customers — the amount they've paid to date for
the project.

In the voicemail, Walker is heard accusing Scana executives of "breaking
every friggin' law that you can break," and propping up the project to hit
profit targets and collect millions in bonuses (Tom Barton, Columbia [S.C.]

Re: [MBZ] Another cheap ML

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Borderline cheap enough to buy the best/lowest mile wreck you can find on 
CoPart and swap trans, or maybe entire drivetrain. 
That's a very clean body, you don't see 320k bodies like that up north. 
If I didn't already have an ML, and that was nearby, I'd offer an even grand 
for it and start looking for a mechanical donor. 
Here's a likely candidate:

I ordered a bunch of cheap electronic components, first attempt at

again with a different CC, same thing but then a message saying I had to 
make a copy of my DL and CC and send it to them to verify my identity.  
Seems a little sketchy.
