I don't think Floyd is saying 4WD is bad - just that the it seems
a lot of people seem to think. "The car has 4WD, so I don't have
to slow down, or drive more carefully just because there is snow.
The 4WD will means I can go anywhere at any speed!"

I find it interesting that during a recent snow here I had to
drive in it - and I saw about 6 vehicles in the ditch - 5 were
four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive.  Since I _know_ the
mechanicals improve the performance is those conditions, it sure
suggests its the loose nut behind the wheel that is the source of
the problem.

Re: [MBZ] Slow big trucks - was: SNOW!

It's not fun for the driver either.  And if you have never been in
that seat, it is hard to understand.


A common scenario viewed from the truck that is passing:
Due to max power or nannies the top speed is limited.  This other
truck is slower - sometimes just a bit, others times enough to be
annoying.  He is doing his best.  Foot to the floor, figuring
eventually the pass will be complete.  But to stay behind can mean
a forced downshift - and possibly that downshift could mean 10 MPH
at the top of the hill.  And the driver is usually paid by mile -
not hour.  And so what if it gets in the way of a "4-wheeler" 
(cars and pickups with 4 wheels - as apposed to "big trucks" or
"18"s) - they are just a nuisance to the pros anyway.


Then the truck being passed:
Due to max power or nannies the top speed is limited.  He is doing
all he can to go as fast as he can.  Can't get a "running start"
on the hill because of the top speed limiter.  And on this slope
(a hill from the view behind the big steering wheel, but the cars
may not even notice it's not flat) the truck is _just_ holding in
this gear at this speed.  And someone is passing - slooowly.  He
could slow down - but even a two second gap in the power will
require a downshift.  And that could mean  10 MPH or so slower for
the rest of the hill.  So if that fellow wants to pass that's fine
- but don't expect him to "sacrifice" that much just to help out
the "4-wheelers"


Just a glimpse of the view from the perspective of the driver.

And there is a new, more effective shingles vaccine out, so even if you

We had the coldest Thanksgiving on record, and then on Saturday another 2"
of rain which brings the D.C. yearly total to 60", or 20" above normal.
Another 1/3" and we will have shattered the all time record for
precipitation. All this rain is NOT good for the Chesapeake Bay

The newest use "COBB" LED lights, which are very bright.

I have a version of the solar powered motion sensor lights on two houses.
The ones I choose have a separate solar pack which is mounted remotely from
the light. That arrangement gives much more in choices for location of the
solar e portion.  Wire runs from the solar pack to the light.

Been in continuous use for over a year. No issues. Solar pack feeds the
battery pack, which feeds the lights, which are mounted to give
illumination for the security cameras, which are also motion activated,

What's central Florida, 30' above sea level?
Hmm, it says MCO is 96' and SFB is 55'.
KFPK is around 890', so there's a little bit of climbing involved. 
But I still got 28mpg driving the W116 home from the coast at Port Charlotte.

We used to get our fair share ( or more, depending on your point of view)
of snow and ice here in OK, but it's been years now since we had enough to
get excited about. I learned to drive from my father, who grew up in MN.
Snow and ice was part of the curriculum. I taught our kids to drive in OK,
but always took the snow/ice opportunities to teach them. Our youngest had
my driving course, then wen to grad school at MI Tech where there are
steeped hills than we have around here (Houghton, MI) along with LOTS of
snow. He took the opportunity to take a snow/ice driving course through the
school where he mostly got more experience sliding in a controlled
environment, and learned the value of proper snow tires.

When I first heard about the Volt, I figured it was the worst of both worlds. 
Worse fuel economy than a Cruze on the hwy running on gas, not enough battery 
range to be a viable electric car. 

But in talking to people who own them, it works in practice. They charge it up 
when they're home, let it run in hybrid mode when it's low on charge, and even 
with some extra running on the gas engine just to keep it active they get over 
200mpg not counting the cost of electricity. 
Even on a long trip, like 1200 miles to Florida, I bet I could get over 45 
miles per gallon in a 2nd generation Volt. Run electric for the first 50 miles, 
let it recharge some on the downhills in Kentucky and Tennessee, and finish 
with the battery at 20%.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Solar powered motion sensor lighting

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

Be sure you place the panel in a location that gets sun all hours of the day.  
Around my home the idiots toss the lights up where they want light, not where 
sun will be.  Magic misunderstanding of how the things work, so they must 
function because the sun is out, even if the thing is placed in shade all day 
long.

Guy up the street covered his roof with solar panels.  Must be able to generate 
3kW if they were not shaded by massive trees but for high noon.  Solar water 
heater is equally occluded.

Socialized medicine will almost always default to the least cost method, no 
matter if it actually results in  effective care.  Healthcare is a business 
now, not a calling.  Probably related to young doctors who are have little 
exposure to real v. book knowing.

Just my $0.02 from watching the rapid decline in medical care my 89 year old 
mother received since 2008.  The old school docs have cashed out, selling to 
conglomerates and bottom line.

Re: [MBZ] Quote without comment

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

Plug in cars are great for markets like Seattle and other clogged road urban 
areas.   The things will not need to power while they are trapped in gridlocked 
highways or city street.   They will not get you where you want any faster than 
a petrol car.  

I can make it the five miles to downtown in 20 minutes on a really good day.  
If (always) traffic is at a standstill, it takes 45 minutes to an hour and a 
half.  Fuel gets burnt hoping somebody will be able to move a few feet.  The 
plug in car will end up sucking electrons for just as long in traffic to run 
the AC and other gewgaws keeping the occupants distracted.

We are getting no new power plants and the stupid greenie idiots want to take 
out the Snake River dams.  I am not sure what energy those produce.  I know the 
Elwah and one out of Skamania County did make electrons for our grid.  Both are 
now gone, so the fishies are safe for the Norther Pike to gobble down 
anadromous salmons.  We may have another forest of bestilled wind turbines 
being planted in the coming decades.  I think the one out in Eastern Washington 
SWMBA got a permit for ten years ago is finally coming online.

Unless you have limited slip, you have two wheel drive at best. The electronics 
now a days can control the brakes and send power to the wheel that is not 
turning though.

Re: [MBZ] SNOW!

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

At camp a couple weeks ago they forecast 6" of snow, we got a solid 8", made 
the camp road "interesting", this is outbound, about halfway to the main road.

https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4808/32089597268_65332422cd_b.jpg

This is most of the way out, if you look careful the road goes down another 150 
yards or so and turns right. The picture is from the top of a small hill. About 
halfway to the turn Eric stuck his Chebby pickup. We usually tease him for 
driving too fast in the woods, well this time he was driving too slow. The snow 
had drifted about 18" and as he wasn't carrying any speed he couldn't make it. 
I yanked him out with the Dodge. I've got more aggressive tires (General 
Grabber AT II) and a little more clearance. It was hard getting him out though.

This is the first time in the 30 years I've been going to camp we had this much 
snow, it was cold too, the night after the snow it got down to 4F.
We actually plowed out the dooryard:

https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4900/31126051907_8ff6aa9e36_b.jpg

That old 7hp Cub Cadet did the job but just barely, if the snow had been wet or 
there had been any more it wouldn't have made it. I need to rig a weight box 
for it...

They were predicting another 5 inches of snow on Thursday night so Thursday 
morning we skedaddled. It just started snowing as I got home...

I saw one where the shoulder passer was no bobtail. 

Note the morons in the Prius and the BMW trying to pass in the right lane in 
the middle of it all.

I saw a dash-cam video that showed that situation and a bobtail truck
passing both trucks on the right on the shoulder, moving back into the
right lane and slowing down, forcing the truck in the right lane to slow

That's because of the efficient clean-up crews:

We have a couple in our back yard (not exactly like the one in your 
link) and they work well. Even in the cold they seem to be able to 
maintain their charge. They have been out for a couple of years so far 
and are still working. The ones that we have use a separate charging 
panel with a cord that connects to the light panel. That permits one to 
put the charger where the sun will shine on it and the light unit in a 
darker spot under the eaves etc. The only issue I have had is with the 
plastic mount for the charging panel breaking off. Quite fixable as it 
is not the charging panel itself that breaks but still a bit of an 
annoyance.

All too true. Speed limits are ignored, resulting in cars with a wide range
of speeds trying to cross the country on the same road at the same time.
The drivers who are exceeding the limit are also the ones who cannot handle
the car at those speeds. Then you have heavy trucks trying to pass each
other with a speed delta of 1mph - - -

Well, in this case it was German commies - not Russian ones, so that
explains the nice appearance. It seems they copied the engine from the
first Saab Sonnet - three carbs and higher compression. The flat rate for
an overhaul of the Saab engine was 8 hours, including R&R.

I think it is worse than that. People learn enough to pass the driver

I disagree with that statement. I have seen some little blonde Russian 
girls who are not only shapely but also quite attractive. My son's good 
friend married one of them.

Re: [MBZ] SNOW!

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

We had the coldest Thanksgiving on record, and then on Saturday another 2"
of rain which brings the D.C. yearly total to 60", or 20" above normal.
Another 1/3" and we will have shattered the all time record for
precipitation.  All this rain is NOT good for the Chesapeake Bay
oysters...  They are also forecasting a snowy winter here, and if current
patterns prevail I believe it.

Re: [MBZ] Quote without comment

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

Let me tell you a story about diagnosis by computer.

My younger son (30 yrs old) was not feeling well about 3 weeks back. His 
neck was sore and he had a rash from his hair down his forehead and his 
one eye was bothering him. We saw him on Sunday afternoon and told him 
that he needed to go and get it checked out and he agreed. He stopped 
into the clinic he normally goes to near his home and asked to see the 
doctor that he has seen before. That doctor was out but there was 
someone else that he could see. He met with a lady doctor and told her 
his symptoms. He said she typed his symptoms into the computer and then 
told him he had pulled a muscle in his neck and to take some Tylenol and 
take it easy for a few days to permit it to heal.


He did not feel any better that evening and when he told us what the 
doctor said, we told him he needed to see someone else and get another 
opinion. He went to the clinic I normally go to and managed to see my 
doctor who was doing walk in visits that day. My doctor took one look at 
him and told him he had shingles. He gave him a prescription for 
antibiotics intended to prevent it from getting any worse and sent him 
to an eye clinic here in the city as he was concerned about it being in 
his eye. He then went to the eye clinic where the doctor looked at it 
and then sent him to one of the main hospitals here to see a specialist 
as he was concerned that his cornea was lifting. He then went to the 
hospital and the doctor checked him out and told him it looked to be 
alright but gave him his card with his cell phone number and told him to 
call if he thought his condition was getting any worse.


So, he managed to see 3 good doctors within about 5 hours including 2 
specialists but the first woman he saw did not do him any favours by 
asking her computer to diagnose his problem.


He has pretty well recovered from the shingles but was off work for a 
week and still has some residual affect from it.

Indeed correspondence does not equal causality.

Ozone is generated by sunlight. During our summer, the south pole is deep

There are TWO types of people in the world today.

1. The academic, who only walks on concrete, lives in a people dense city,
who thinks his/her/its' view of the world is the only correct thought
possible.

2. The rest of the world, who walks on dirt, grows things planted and
nurtured by hard labor and sweat, lives in a low people dense area, and
actually sees the stars in the sky at night, instead of glaring electric
light.

Good comment: Batteries how do you store all this solar energy, car

Re: [MBZ] Today's fun: 124 300D

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Those 17mm bolts can be a tight reach, not a lot of room to swing a wrench
and the top bolt is hard to see at all.  I use a 3/8 drive ratchet and a
short length of pipe to get more torque.  Once you've got them loose, you
may have room to get a universal joint into the mix so you can get a wider
swing and get them out faster.

Yeah, I caught that "nurses diagnose" claptrap.   I let it slide

the world works.   Unfortunately, the current crop of editors is just as

If there is no coal, and a HUGE increase in electric demand, and

Domestic oil drilling is not OPEC anyway.  And there is a LOT of
industries that use coal and oil that is NOT the consumer car.
I really don't think train and ship can effectively be re-fitted
with plug-in electric.  Maybe the author is expecting the return
of tall ships.  A 4 masted square rigged, steel hulled vessel can
transport a lot of freight.  I'm not sure it fits well with
shipping containers, though.

Or plug-in electric tractors?  I'm not saying it won't happen, I'm
saying it's not "just around the corner" as this author suggests.
The author seems to be aware only of "cars" and "the road I drive
on to work".  The world is bigger than that.
The USA, by producing, has already trumped OPEC.   If it was not for the 
goobermnt wanting to preserve the house of Saud, OPEC would be history.

Err.  Right.  Maybe back when there was a refrigerator and a
couple light bulbs.
Not so long as the power companies exist.  The last thing they want is 
distributed uncontrolled production.  They have fought, and will 
continue to fight, "sell it back to the grid"  Just ask Manfred how easy 
it is to "sell it back to the grid."  "The man" wants to dictate the 
price of power so that the serfs are at a level of pain.  (to use the

You're thinking too logically.  Can't do that with the Greenies.  
Remember the good old days of $1 cans oof R12?  ;-)

Scientists have proposed a new method to fight global warming:
sun-dimming aerosols released into earth’s atmosphere.

Research from scientists at Harvard and Yale universities was recently
published in a journal called Environmental Research Letters which
proposes using a technique called stratospheric aerosol injection to
fight against climate change. The proposed technique would see
scientists launching sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower
stratosphere at altitudes up 12 miles high.

Currently, the technology exists but there are no aircraft suitable to
carry the particles and “developing a new, purpose-built tanker with
substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically
difficult nor prohibitively expensive,” the researchers stated. The
researchers have estimated that it would cost $3.5 billion to launch a
system in 15 years time and would cost $2.25 billion a year to
maintain over the course of those 15 years.

Re: [MBZ] I bought this SL600

Hmm I wonder if that 10W60 was to minimize a oil burning issue?

Wouldn't one imaginary problem cancel out another imaginary problem?
