I thought the "Hi-Lux" was just the non-US name for "pickup".  I
suppose the US market pickups got different engine and trim and
stuff, especially in recent years.

I was gonna comment that he might be able to find one in the sandbox for

about streaming services - you can get programming anywhere you have an

We’re lucky in that the antenna farm with nearly every OTA station in the area 
is only a couple of miles away as the crow flies. With the great coverage of 
OTA stations and YouTube TV we’re getting nearly everything we had with cable.

Re: [MBZ] Cord Cutting

How does youtubeTV get there?  I had assumed it ran on your interwebz.  

I gave up on live TV due to poor quality digital signal and cost of service for 
cable shows.  I had intended to swap to the DSL folks back many years ago and 
took the crimecast box back to their store.  The fellow behind the desk was 
bending over backward to get me to stay.  I was talked into a phone/interweb 
bundle because that was less expensive than interweb alone.  The next time 
service went bad and they tried to hike the fees, the box and I returned to the 
store.  Got another deal that dropped the bill back to the same price of two 
years prior.  I kept that up for 8 years until I began packing the house to 
head out of SEA.  Now I exist on the pitiful hotspot on the cell phone if I 
need interwebz at the house in town.

AKC has crap internet.  SWMBA is using DSL from the dark ages.  Speeds of

Re: [MBZ] Tesla Model 3: More "Global Climate Change" than a Mercedes

Yeah, I’m sure that solar has come into play as well as wind power in the 
villages. However, the time of the year when they really need the electrons is 
when there’s no sun, too.

As many of them are on or near the banks of major rivers, I can see the hydro 
thing if they can make it work.

I hated going to those places, almost as much as I hated doing work on the 
reservations in the Lower 48. It was really depressing.

Re: [MBZ] Tesla Model 3: More "Global Climate Change" than a Mercedes

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

Villages run on #2, but are now trying to break away with more of the 
renewables.  Micro hydro seems the most successful in that way.  For the larger 
venues, the Nat Gas blasters are spitting out electrons to pair with small 
hydro along the Railbelt.  Took me a while to figure out wtf that was about.  
It is the part of AK that has trains.

Heh. If it isn’t one thing, it’s another…

I know they’ll wise up. Jaime’s met my youngest, he’s a smart kid and will go 
far I have no doubt.  However, he goes through these spurts of “enlightenment”, 
shall we say, when my intellect sort of just goes out the window in his mind. 
It’s not uncommon for him to come back in a bit and acknowledge his 
mistake/ignorance, and when he does I don’t make a big deal out of it. It’s 
more important to me that they be introspective. Being able to come back and 
admit you’re wrong or made a poor decision is far more important, I think.

4GB or 400GB?
If I only needed 4gb/mo, I wouldn't buy it from Comcast.
(8 years ago, I paid $40/mo for Virgin Wireless datacard with 4GB cap, and 
cellular data cost a lot more back then)

Re: [MBZ] Toyota Hilux?

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

It’s funny, I find myself having exactly the opposite problem with my
father in the last every years.  He doesn’t give my suggestions any weight,
but if a complete stranger makes the same suggestion then he calls to tell
me about it.

Best recent example is his purchase of a sports car.  For a few years, he’s
been looking for a old British or Italian car.  We looked at a few but
nothing really appealed to him.  I suggested he look at Porsche Boxsters or
Mazda Miatas, as these are the modern interpretations of those old sports
cars.  He didn’t give it much weight until we went to see a 79 Alfa
Spider.  He owned one in the early 80s... but realized how 40 years has
aged him and the car, and it wasn’t what he wanted.  The seller told him he
was selling to buy a Boxster.  This made a big impression.

On the way home, he became very interested in a Boxster and within two
weeks he bought one.  And he loves it.

I told you so?

Anyway... I think your day will come... it will happen to all of us
hopefully:  our children will know better than we do.

Yes, and that’s something I’m aware of and will be asking about, but thanks for

True satisfaction as a parent is when you hold your grandchild, notice
"that smell" that only emanates from a "blow out the sides dirty diaper"
and hand the child to the formerly rebellious child, saying, with a smile,
"your child needs changing"
"I'm the grand parent, I only hug them, I don't have to change them.".. ;)))

On the subject of truck... here is a video of one that needs a bit of work
and I'm pretty sure it hasn't been moved lately Recovery might pose a
"challenge" if he is up for a "real challenge"... but the price should be
low..

Re: [MBZ] Cord Cutting

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

speaking pf DVR, one thing I dislike about  Dish is the format they use 
to record stuff on the Recorder.  I'm told there is no way tp convert the
 Dish format to anything that can be used on more traditional formats.  
I like to record some stuff (like LeMans) but unless I am committed to 
Dish, keeping recordings is not likely.  Other than that, Dish has been 
pretty good except for the ocassional streaming interruptions which are 
usually less than 2 or 3 seconds.   When it gets wiindy we often have 
interruptions - I assume the dish is shaking or something.


Has anyone had luck with OTA (over the air) antenna's?
  Maps of local coverage looks promising.

Re: [MBZ] Cord Cutting

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Rick,

YouTube TV is a subscription service that costs $50/month. It carries many of 
the major cable networks as well as your local stations, at least the network 
affiliates. You use a streaming device like an AppleTV, Roku or Amazon 
Firestick to access it on your TV or computer using their application.

The DVR function is built into their application. For instance, I just searched 
for Family Guy and told it I want all new episodes recorded for the season. You 
can also watch a fair amount of stuff on demand as well.

I bought a refurbished “Tablo” OTA DVR box for about $75. Using an HDTV antenna 
and an external hard drive, it will record any of our OTA stations for me. It 
has a subscription service that’s $5/month for the scheduling, which you would 
need for the DVR function. Without the hard drive you can still watch OTA 
stations, but not record them.

https://www.tablotv.com/

Re: [MBZ] Toyota Hilux?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Probably, as the same platform was used for the trucks they sold here. That’s 
why I’m not shy a HiLux is even relevant. The trucks they sold here under 
different model names are nearly the same.

More importantly, if he ends up staying out west permanently as he plans, 
having anything but a domestic car/truck in a remote area is not a wise 
decision. It would be like driving a Benz out there. No MB mechanics anywhere 
near the Grand Canyon….

Re: [MBZ] Cord Cutting

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I might need to revisit this at some point.  Last time I looked there 
did not seem to be any that had DVR.  I also only have a 12mbs 
connection here which normally runs about half that speed or even down 
to 1-2 when everyone in the house is streaming and gaming.

We also looked at Philo, which has all of the “lifestyle” channels, many of 
which she likes to watch. It’s only $20/month and also has DVR capabilities, 
too.

How will you DVR any of your shows?  Are you going to buy one for OTR or 
just watch things the old fashioned way in real time?

I think they all probably do it.  I have been with Dish for nearly 20 
years straight and I am quite sure new customers get it cheaper than I 
do.  I have thought about switching back and for the between direct and 
dish every couple of years but have not bothered.  If these streaming 
services got DVR figured out a little better like dish I might cut the 
cord.  I have found by the time I add up everything I would want it is

I know. I have informed both children that when the day comes that they realize 
Mom and I were “right” that they need to immediately contact us in order to 
allow us to revel in the satisfaction of being validated.

It will happen. It’s just a matter of when.

And yes, I attempted to point out that the HiLux was never sold here in the 
same manner in which it is available in the rest of the world.

Re: [MBZ] Cord Cutting

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Our local cable providers don’t bother with “retention” until you bail. When we 
had Verizon they would send you to someone that had the ability to deal to get 
you to stay. Since Frontier and Comcast came to town their attitude seems to be 
“Good luck, it’s been nice, we’ll see you.”

Since I’ll go to the store and see someone in person it might be different, but 
over the phone that’s been the attitude. I’ll report back what they do.

Re: [MBZ] Cord Cutting

My cousin went through that recently with Directv. She had some issues before 
and they lowered her bill and got an $80 credit so she hasn’t been paying much. 
That’s all running out. She was gonna cancel it altogether but see what deal 
they pitched her to keep her as a customer. You might be able to strong arm 
them if you say you are going to another service.

[MBZ] Cord Cutting

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Our cable company (Comcast/Spectrum) is about to bend us over the back of a 
chair since our ”promotional” pricing is over so it’s time to cut the cord. Did 
a lot of research and found that between a Tablo OTA DVR and YouTube TV we can 
get nearly everything she enjoys watching for about $50/month compared to over 
$125/month when prices go up. Internet access costs me about $50/month.

I’m looking forward to stopping in at the local cable company store this week

Plant the seed. Sometimes more than once.   Give it a gestation period.  
Min. is a month, normally a year or more.   At the end of the gestation 
period, it is HIS idea, and therefore G O O D!


Don't keep replanting the same seed.   If you do it never becomes G O O D.

I guess they still sell hilux peekups  in turd world countries, or did 
until a few years ago.

Typical sandblasting from age/use. Unless it’s really bad it doesn’t affect the

Are you having any luck? Back when I tried to educate I just got accused of 
being a no it all and got kicked off. I guess that is against the rules. Maybe 
they have since figured out that if they want to have a group then will have to 
have at least one person that knows what they are talking about even if it goes 
against their instinct to think they already know everything.

Re: [MBZ] 123 for sale cheap

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

I looked at the headlights. There is a stylized H4 logo in the center. So, I 
guess that means Hella. The glass looks great. When I looked at the glass 
inches away I can see tiny little sand pits like on a windshield. But, I had to 
get right next to them to see it. They look pretty darn good to me. The clips 
are all sturdy, no cracks in plastic backing, all attachments look firm and 
solid. I am really impressed with how bright they are.

Re: [MBZ] 123 fakebook checkin

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

This has to be a global sort of mindset.

Look on eBay for parts, especially for the older cars. My favorite is trunk 
tristars for cars like the W110/111 and others - brand new from the dealer for 
under $50. People selling used ones on eBay for over $100.

I just don’t get it. There must be a market or these idiots (?) wouldn’t be 
listing them.

It’s also interesting how many people on Facebook don’t realize you can
still buy new parts for all old Mercedes.  People ask about used parts all
the time when new ones are available for similar prices.

Re: [MBZ] Toyota Hilux?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

No doubt.

He’s so all over the place I have no idea. He’s heading back out to AZ and the 
NPS the end of this month, so I suspect he’s got truck/4WD on the brain. I 
suggested some time ago when this was a subject that a good used Ford F150 
would be a wise purchase and serve him well while being something easily 
maintained in such a rural area.

As a parent, I am a total idiot, of course (implied) so my recommendations are 
tossed aside unless they’re later adopted and presented as a new idea. After 
all, what do I know?

I didn’t think this was nice enough for this group.
