The radio production of HGttG is the best form, IMHO.  I have it in a boxed CD 
set,
prominently emblazoned with "Don't Panic" on it.

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Ages ago the public radio had a dramatization of HGttG that was really good.  A 
brit production. I remember listening to it every week. A coupla years ago I 
found the recordings online and downloaded them. Fun to listen to occasionally.

My orders from FCPEURO are very prompt. I have always had issues with shipping 
times from Autohaus AZ. For that matter, shipping from Harbor Freight sucks 
also (FedEx ground from the West coast).

Not the case with UPS and the last order from FCPEURO was FedEx and very prompt 
also. I am East of the Mississippi, and it seems anything from the West coast 
takes the slow ride to get here. I'm sure the flooding isn't helping ship times 
either. 

BTW, Happy Birthday Manfred!

Re: [MBZ] Happy Birthday, Manfred!

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

pretty much any ground shipment takes a week to get delivered.  I am 
pretty sure both oops and fedup hold ground shipments so they are not 
delivered until 7 days from shipment.   This encourages the suckers to 
pay for 2 day or next day at 3x or more cost, resulting in much higher 
profits.


This started when I was ordering stuff form Q.

Happy Birthday Manfred!

Got the parts from Autohaus. Not too impressed with them this time.

Indeed it was easy, and indeed that was the problem - thank you thank you!
Engine fired right up and ran well enough - I really regretted standing in
front of it!

No football, there's an insulated pipe that splits between the EGR and
down.  Based on our experiments at least the EGR side is clear.

I will start checking from the back, I think we can send compressed air
through and figure out what the blockage is.  I have never been so happy to
have an exhaust problem!

Re: [MBZ] OT: Detective stories, James Bond, and Spys (for the readers and SC boys)

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

When we built our house in Wisconsin I made what would have been the formal 
living room the library. Oak raised panel walls, dark carpet, the whole 
shebang. Floor to ceiling bookshelves on three walls.

When we moved to Florida I drove a small UHaul truck down, the whole thing 
being almost nothing but books so we could save some money on the moving cost. 
I have no idea how many books we had at the time, but it was substantial.

We’ve since pared down the library to maybe 1,000 books, if that. Most were 
donated to lending libraries or charities that put them into circulation in 
some manner.

 One of my dad's friends tells a story about taking the SAT and at the end 
having to take a survey which included the question "How many books are there 
in your house?" with choices like 10, 100, 1000, more than 1000. AT which point 
he decided that he never wanted to live in a house with fewer than "more than

Re: [MBZ] OT: Detective stories, James Bond, and Spys (for the readers and SC boys)

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Well, we have over 500 books in the house now, at least. As someone said,
"A room without books has no soul".
We only listen to audio books when driving cross country (weather is too
bad to fly, or we need the truck to haul something).

Re: [MBZ] OT: Detective stories, James Bond, and Spys (for the readers and SC boys)

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I can understand that, as well as the use of resources it takes to make books. 
However, I feel that there’s something pleasantly tactile about turning pages, 
and I can take a book with me anywhere and don’t have to worry about charging 
or glare from the sun. I can also loan it out to others who want to read it, 
too.

I’m sort of “meh” on audiobooks, as a lot hinges on who is reading it. I got 
shtupped into buying a Bill O’Reilly book about the “death” of Patton and after 
a few minutes of his annoying voice and the conspiracy theory approach in the 
book, I stopped. I’ve bought others and been pleased, I am just a lot more 
careful about them after the Patton debacle. I like to listen on my commute.

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I go back and forth, mostly on paper books right now, I've picked up a lot of 
good ones recently.Right now I'm reading "Killing the SS". No matter what you 
think of O'Reilly's politics or tv presentation style he's a pretty good 
author. I wouldn't have picked this out for myself, it was a Christmas present 
which I'm quite enjoying.

Yeah, BW is an excellent repository of information from the people who have

Otherwise, it’s not far from the W123 FB group in some cases from what’s been

Or as I like to think of him, the man who invented what was for a long time the
world's most famous flying car.  (Probably displaced by Rowling's, if one were
to actually measure relative fame now.)

Bah.  WA will still _exist_, though parts of it might be rather wet...

When I heard the huge crack rumbling down the mountainside (earthquake) 
when I lived in Hawaii, I seriously wondered if a chunk of the (big) 
island was going to sink into the ocean.    And it sounded like I was on 
the wrong side if that happened.  The crack was mauka.  (up the 
mountainside from where I was)

Then you should read Operation Mincemeat.  It has the whole story, where 
the Man Who Never Was had been written by Montegu in part to be sure 
certain information was changed or not released.   Being a much newer 
version, Operation Mincemeat relied on recently declassified material in 
addition to other sources.

[MBZ] OT: Detective stories, James Bond, and Spys (for the readers and SC boys)

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Finished a very interesting book.  THe story itself is quite 
interesting, and the references in the text to authors, and their

Re: [MBZ] OT Calling Tin Man Mao

Give Arnicare a look. It's an old Homeopathic med that has been used since
before Rome was in power.  A company called BOIRON makes a product called
"Arnicare Arthritis" . If you have a health food store near you, likely
they will have it.
I use it to some good effect, others I've steered to it have had success as
well. Might work for you. It's doesn't interact with other drugs, has no
side effects, etc... so pretty safe to try.
It is a natural anti inflammation so works at the source of arthritis..

[MBZ] OT: Not good news for people who eat

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Many farms are going bankrupt.  The unreported flooding in the 
Mississippi river valley has cause loss or partial loss of the current 
year crop, and water in grain bins makes the grain swell and burst the 
bin.  this grain has to be destroyed by law.  There is no insurance on 
the grain.  The farmers lose stored grain, and the current crop.  This 
puts them out of business unless they have other assets they can sell to 
keep afloat.


On top of that bad news, there is this form the USDA, also not good for 
those of us who buy food.


2.

   “According to a report recently released by the USDA’s Economic
   Research Service (ERS), U.S. farmers and ranchers earn just 14.6
   cents for every dollar American consumers spend on food. This value
   marks a 17% drop since 2011 and marks the smallest portion of the
   American food dollar that farmers have received since the USDA began
   reporting this data in 1993. The remaining 85.4 cents cover off-farm
   costs, including processing, wholesaling, distribution, marketing,
   and retailing.”

Re: [MBZ] OT: Washington OKs underage students to sample wine in class.

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Classic "I did not inhale".. yeah... sure...

So, since pot is legalized, will they now have "pot culture growing class"
and pass out samples?  What is next?

Will Rogers said it best, or was it Mark Twain? "We have the best
government money can buy."

Re: [MBZ] OT Calling Tin Man Mao

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

When I was a kid, people used to rub DMSO on their joints. 
I seem to recall somebody saying that WD40 was Kerosene and DMSO back then, but 
I just looked it up and it seems to be mostly Naptha. Anyway, I can't find any 
reference to sulfates in WD, so I doubt it used DMSO for a penetrating 
additive.

Re: [MBZ] Uh Oh

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I’m not lurking on that FB group. I’m involved with too many online forums as 
it is. I really despise FB, but there are a couple of groups I want to keep an 
eye on, so I belong to them and that’s it. Someone in the W123 group sent me a 
copy of the person’s “request for recommendation” looking for someone to check 
out a car in Tampa.

And yes, considering that time is money, I think $150 is a fair price for the 
level of detail and scrutiny I provide. We’ll see.

Mismatched paint for sure. The problem is that if you check it out for one or

You are most welcome, Gerry. I'm glad to see the information I gathered
is helping someone.

BTW, you sent a message to the List with the greeting,

  Hi Diana,
  Here's some stuff to try if the love bugs get bad
  Love, Pop 

Did you send it to Diana separately, or do you need to send it to her now?

Other ideas for testing for plugged exhaust: Remove the EGR valve?  That

Run a choke cable from the flipper valve on the engine air intake, to the cab.
