That is so sad.   Glad we got to see seattle in 1993, when we shipped 
cars there to avoid lost angels.    Unfortunately, I'd guess Port of LA 
may now be safer to pick up a car in, or to ship one out.  What we saw 
in May was certainly not scary.   That was the san pedro part, to see 
the BB-61.   A few homeless and panhandlers out at night, but nothing scary.



So tell me:  Up until 1970 or so, we had county homes or county farms. 
The indigent and mildly nutty were housed there in exchange for whatever 
help they could lend to maintaining the place. (growing food, work in 
the kitchen, building, or grounds)   The true nut cases were in mental 
institutes, with 3 hots and a cot.   We were told that was "cruel." and 
they should be turned out into the streets by the so-cal justus 
war-eoreiors.


Is it more cruel to keep indigents housed, fed, clothed, washed and 
employed (to some extent) or to have them wandering the streets 
panhandling and using whatever other means they come up with?
Is it more cruel to keep nutcases housed, fed and clothed and washed 
etc, or to have them wandering the streets, and assaulting whoever they 
feel like assaulting?


Which of these choices is more cruel to the taxpayers?

The homeless and insane are so bad, that fire fighters will not 
respond to some addresses without full police escorts. Usual turn out 
is four cruisers per engine because so many first responders were 
being injured.


Not sure if it made national news, but last week there was a shoot out 
on a downtown street corner (outside McD) Three or four shooters 
(teens of color) firing into a crowd, killed a few people, injured 
many more. Chronic drug dealing and people in deep crisis in that area 
is so bad that businesses are closing and moving out because their 
employees are to scared to come to work.


That $16 is not even enough to be thought of as hazard pay. My 
youngest boy was making $16 for his 2018 summer job. Scared the piss 
out of him so bad to work in town that he chose to work in ANC for 
$8.85/hr instead.

Re: [MBZ] OT cost of living in Seattle

Very few are economically disadvantaged residents.  The invasion of the 
unhoused are almost 80% new to the region, having heard that it is a sweet 
place to live in anarchy, due to the socialist justice attitude of elected 
officials.  The cops stopped responding, knowing the amount of paperwork would 
not result in any action.  Persecutors just let the worst of humanity go with 
no repercussions.  

Check out the youtubes for “Seattle is dying”.  That is state of the art for 18 
months ago.  It has gotten much worse.

There is ample housing being built.  For the very wealthy who are able to 
afford a million dollar 700 sqft condo in a highrise tower within blocks of 
Amazon and Google offices.  Not that it is actually safe for them to walk to 
work with the nuts and flakes wandering the streets.  Another neighbor works at 
the River or Large Feminist and he takes a company bus the five miles to work 
for his own safety.  Told of some who live close to the hive talking of hiring 
private security (armed) to escort them to work and back.

Re: [MBZ] OT cost of living in Seattle

That is minimum wage there.  Nobody who has that job is living in Seattle 
itself, unless their home is a cardboard box.   About $6 a day to ride the bus. 
 No available parking in town for less than $5/hr.  Fuel is around $3.78/gal.  
My neighbor rents his 600 sqft basement out for $1200/mo which is DIRT CHEAP 
for Seattle.  Looked as renting out my tiny home to be able to keep it as an 
investment.  Market rate would be just under $4k/mo without utilities.  Current 
year's taxes came to $11k.

My mother’s home, 30 miles out of town saw a 21% increase in property taxes and 
value bump of around $48k in 2019.  The area is becoming a one per center 
haven, and the urban poor are moving out of town or into tents.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Shingles Vaccine

Dang! It is that time again, almost, for me.  Been over 30 days.  Will need to 
revisit the shop sometime this month for the repeat also.   Will look to 
schedule it for possible rerun of the malaise that first one had.  Good that it 
was not a full three day sidelining.  Maybe the follow up is less severe,

Re: [MBZ] OT this is some scary stuff

So I just refreshed the site about ten minutes ago, total # of cases was
20,001.  Refreshed a minute ago, now we are at 20,155.  I think it was
around 19,500 or so when Floyd posted and the first time I clicked on the
link.

Adding 500 new cases per hour?

I'm thinking I should use acme-threaded rods and nuts, and then tighten
those to apply the pushing force, rather than tightening the
standard-threaded bolt in the middle.

[MBZ] Low $ front ball joint tool from DE

Arrived today, pieces missing, looks like they wrapped it up in a brown
paper bag and a few layers of packing tape, called it good, and tossed it
in the mail.  Package was open at one end, the big bolts and a nut and
maybe some washers have been left somewhere between here and Germany.

It appears that the important bits are here, so maybe a trip to the

Re: [MBZ] $600E320 almost strands me

OK so I went out and jiggled the wire to the CPS and the car fired right 
up and ran fine.  Maybe the sensor is going bad or the wiring/connector 
are lose or something.  I guess I'll order another one, only $25, and 
replace it.  Maybe put some dielectric grease in the connector too if 
there was some water in there from the other evening.


On another accomplishment, I added a bit of oil to the SL and checked 
the coolant, the light had been blinking on occasionally. It did not 
look low but I guess I will add some tomorrow.  I also fixed a hood 
latch which had not been catching well and being a PIMA, turned out the 
little catch that holds the main catch in closed position was all 
goobered up and would not close to catch the catch.  So some spray lube 
and working it a bit got that back in order.  Sprayed the other one too, 
all looks to be in ordnung now.

Yesterday I drove the car, started twice, no issues.  I get home, 
jump in about an hour later to go out, crankie but no startie.  No

the issue might be.


Where is the CPS?  I see where this is a common issue, maybe I should 
just swap it.

[MBZ] OT - Shingles Vaccine

Got my follow up shot this afternoon. I’m “windmilling” the snot out of that 
arm as often as I can. Might not alleviate the side effects much, but it will 
be interesting to see how much my upper arm hurts tomorrow.

Pharmacist said the flu-like side effects don’t appear to be consistent among 
patients from what she’s heard from people she’s given the vaccine to. She said 
some get the first dose and not the second, vice versa or not at all. The dose 
is identical for both shots, so it’s not like the dosage varies. She said she 
thinks it might be a function of the person’s current condition relative to 
their immune system.

Whatever. I just hope I don’t feel like dooky tomorrow like I did the last 
time...

Can you block it to just recirc?   That might be more useful in other

croaked, I just blocked the door open with a 2x4 block so my feet 
didn't freeze.



My truck is a 2013 F150 Supercrew XTR. I think that model was made 
between 2011 and 2014. In 2015 Ford changed the style and started to 
produce the aluminum body truck. I did not check, but I don't think my 
model started in 2010.


However, who knows what they changed along the way. I was looking at a 
Consumer Reports magazine last Monday night in a book store at their 
ratings for used trucks and noted that they said my model year suffered 
more issues with the heating and cooling systems than other years so it 
might relate to something like this. Who knows for sure? Did they change 
the heater box in some manner, or did they start using cheaper plastic etc.


It might also be an issue caused by the weather. If the sun melted some 
snow that dripped down into the fresh air intake and that water froze 
and created an ice dam that prevented the plastic flap from opening and 
closing properly, the plastic might have been over stressed and that may 
have caused the nub that I found to break off. The problem may never 
happen in California.


I was thinking that there might be some way to move that flap back and 
forth without the original setup. An old style choke cable type setup 
might allow one to push and pull the flap open and closed without doing 
a tear down of the whole dash but, as I said earlier, I think I can 
likely live with it as it is so, as long as more parts do not break off 
and fall in, I will likely just leave it bee.

I used AutohausAZ last week and they delivered in a couple days from AZ via
several separate drop ships.  Used to take at1 week to the east coast.
Theire prices were very competitive.

Re: [MBZ] OT followup on F150 blower noise


what years would be made the same poor way?    So we know to avoid them.

Can you block it to just recirc?   That might be more useful in other 
climes.    On the 126, when the vac operator for the up/down flapper 
croaked, I just blocked the door open with a 2x4 block so my feet didn't 
freeze.



Randy Bennell via Mercedes 
February 3, 2020 at 11:02 AM
I pulled the blower motor assembly out of my truck on Saturday 
morning. We had some nice weather this weekend so it was warm enough 
to do it outside. That was nice. Warm weather for us this time of year 
was about 0 degrees C. Put cardboard down over the snow and used an 
old sheet to protect me from getting really dirty as the running board 
thing on the truck was filthy. I have been wanting to wash it for a 
couple of weeks but the car wash I generally use is down for repairs 
and if I wash it, it will be dirty before I can get it home. However, 
I do like to wash off the layer of dirt even if it gets back on fairly 
quickly.


Removal of the assembly is not too bad. 3 screws hold it in and only 
one of them is difficult to get to. A ratcheting box end works well 
but one with a flex head would be even better. After the screws are 
out, it is still a bit of a wiggle job to get the unit out as the 
carpet is is the way etc.


Once I had it out, I found a piece of plastic inside the squirrel 
cage. It is about 3/4 in length and diameter and obviously broke off 
of something in the heater box. Reaching in through the opening, I 
find a flap/door that can be readily moved back and forth so I assume 
this piece was what connected the door to the doodad that opened and 
closed it. About that time, my mechanic son arrived and took a look at 
it. He did a little looking on the computer and determined that the 
flap is the door that determines whether the heating box gets fresh 
air or recirculates the air in the cab. The default is fresh air as 
the flap is under suction in the current condition without the broken 
off plastic part engaging the motor that opens and closes the flap.


So, the gist of all that, is it would be a big job to repair it but I 
can live without it. The only time I would use recirculate would be in 
summer when it is hot and I want to use the Max AC. That is not all 
that often here in the GWN and I can live without it. My son is quite 
willing to repair it but it would be a big job. We would have to 
evacuate and recharge the air conditioner etc. plus take the whole 
dash apart.


I have an extended warranty so I could take it to the dealer but I am 
very reluctant to let their monkeys work on something like this. My 
son would put it back together in such a way that no one would ever 
know it had been apart. The dealer mechanics would take every shortcut 
known to man and the lord only knows what I might be left with 
afterwards.


End of the story for the moment. If any more parts break off in the 
heater box, then we may have little choice, but for now, I think it 
best to just leave it alone.

Re: [MBZ] OT followup on F150 blower noise

I think you should go straight to the dealership service manager, slam the
broken piece down on his desk and let him know if his monkeys mess up the
repair in any way, you will sue him and his wife and kids and drive them
all right into the poor house, and you will own the dealership by the time
you are done.

Yeah, that's how you should handle that.

I've swapped it proactively on this van and prior.   (along with sprk plugs)

Can't find the CPS on any of my  1966 to 1992 Diesels.

Yesterday I drove the car, started twice, no issues.  I get home, jump 
in about an hour later to go out, crankie but no startie.  No CEL. 
Jiggled wires around again, still no starties...  Not sure what the 
issue might be.


Where is the CPS?  I see where this is a common issue, maybe I should 
just swap it.

Re: [MBZ] Sportsball

I managed to catch the girl singing the national anthem.  She was pretty 
awesome.


I saw this item this morning:

   The Addict's Diary
   


   14 hrs
   
·


   Ten years ago, Demi Lovato said one day that she would sing the
   National Anthem at the super bowl. Then, just 18 months ago, Demi
   Lovato almost died as a result of an overdose. She got sober again
   after that and refocused. Tonight, she rocked the world with an
   amazing performance of our National Anthem in the Super Bowl! A
   relapse doesn’t have to be the end of your story! Thank you for
   being an inspiration, Demi! #TheAddictsDiary
   



This is a nice story.

FCP does drop ship from distribution warehouses all over the country for some 
parts. I just got some Lemförder M112 motor mounts and transmission mount and 
they came next day from warehouse in Miami. And that was with my free shipping.

I would agree that FCP does not have the granular selection of parts that some 
other suppliers have. Not sure what that’s about.
