Re: [MBZ] Waffle House is hurting

When all is said and done, if the economy is closed for any length of time, 
Waffle House is the first of many dominoes to fall.

Yup.  But I think Dan is asking for a volume measure.  Cups or
liters or other such measure.

I don't have a scale, but from what I understand, mass measure is
SO much more accurate and repeatable than volume measure -
especially for flour.

Whole grains can have just as much.  But the source has to be a
high gluten wheat berry!  Hard white wheat is my preference for
bread.

Rye has almost no gluten.  So if the rye is a significant portion
of your flour even a really high gluten wheat may not be enough.
So then adding gluten makes sense.

Yes, before the 140 the only S class diesels were in the US, and 
possibly Japan maybe.  Afterwards the US does not get any of the cool S 
class diesels.

When I had neck surgery in 2013, I was put on oxycontin and given a
supply before I was sent home (to Los Alamos from Phoenix). I think
the surgery people even called my doctor in LA to make sure they would
issue a new prescription when I ran out.

I was so plugged up, I got myself off that stuff as soon as I could.

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Wood on 123

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The founding Constantine was the guy who made all of the desks in the Senate 
chamber, I believe. The place they had in NYC was amazing, like going back in 
time. They closed it in the early 2000s, I think. I’ve bought veneer from them 
and marquetry supplies as long as I’ve done woodworking.

They have a “box ‘o’ veneer” you can buy that has a bajillion samples that are 
labeled for cheap, like under $10. It’s a great thing to have for matching and 
just exploring possibilities with different species of veneer.

Re: [MBZ] Wood on 123

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Or here:

Constantine’s is probably one of the largest and oldest suppliers of veneers 
around. I’ve used them for probably 40 years, my Dad used them before me.

[MBZ] Wood on 123

Someone mentioned replacing wood on flat surface of 123 unless I read it wrong.

Re: [MBZ] 617 turbo

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I'm reasonably sure that the 116 300SD was made especially for the US market.
I'm pretty sure everybody got the turbo engine. Europe got the manual trans 
300D but nobody got the turbo 617 AND a manual trans...

Re: [MBZ] OT: Eats?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I've made regular bread with a significant addition of instant potato flakes. 
Gave the bread a nice flavor.White flour is in short supply at our market, I 
looked around a little but couldn't find potato flakes. Not sure what section 
they'd be in, I probably walked right past them...

Re: [MBZ] OT: Eats?

[OK Don via Mercedes]

We've been making all of our own bread since about 1980. I bought the wife
a Kitchenaid lift mixer around 1985, and it's mixed every loaf since then.
She is using all sourdough leavening now. The older the started gets, the
milder it is. We'll have to make a new started to get the sourdough taste
back, but I don't miss it all that much. We use sprouted spelt whole grain
flour, add rye and/or buckwheat as the mood hits, and gluten to all of
them. We've also gone to making rolls instead of loaves as we don't eat
bread everyday. Freeze them, then pop how ever many in the microwave to
thaw when needed.

Otherwise, the freezer is still pretty full - we hit the local butcher a
week before he closed to retail customers and got well stocked up on beef
and pork. The frozen fish is getting low, might need to go to a store this
week - haven't been for over two weeks now. We are still eating the Ahi
Amarillo peppers, jalapenos and Thai peppers that we grew and froze last
summer.

The indoor greens are starting to come - renewed the containers after
growing all our salad greens for 6 months. We do need to stock up on things
like onions, celery, carrots, egg plant, etc.

Heh. You don’t know Jags of that era, do you? The Mark II-IVs would rust if you 
looked sideways at them. I can’t count the number of XKEs I put floorpans back

Re: [MBZ] Success

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I think you’re right. I seem to recall that being the case - you peen a dimple 
in the little flange on the nut into the groove for the key that holds the yoke.

Not like it’s something you do very often…

Re: [MBZ] 617 turbo

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I think you are wrong.  I remember that a close read of the 1985 Technical
Data Book showed that in ROW, one could purchase a 123.193 with a manual
transmission, unlike the USofA.  So not only did the ROW get the turbo,
they could also get a manual transmission.

 With the tilt-head mixer did you ever have trouble with the bowl popping
 out of the base with heavy mixing (e.g. bread dough)? I had to braze
 extra metal onto the "threads" on the bowl to stop that happening.

[MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: OT: Eats?

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

I'm pretty sure that 1 lb. of grain yields 1 lb. of flour. I weigh out the 
grain and only mill as much as I use for the recipe so the flour is fresh. On 
the Kitchenaid brand of mill I was never able to get really fine flour. With 
the FGM I run it through once to crack the grain, then 3X at the finest 
setting. Because whole grains have less gluten, I add gluten to my recipe. Some 
other list members have other brand mills as I recall.

Milling grain to make a large loaf takes about 20 min. during which time I can 
gather other ingredients. Once everything is in the machine I only need to slit 
the top of the dough just before the baking starts, then dump out the loaf on a 
rack when it's done.

It's worth it for me because I can't find real whole grain bread with a 
significant portion of rye commercially, and certainly none that are as fresh 
and as good as what I make.

Just out of curiosity, how much grain does it take to produce a cup or pound of 
flour? I’ve seen the grain mills before, but was concerned about it being far

Re: [MBZ] OT: Eats?

[Clay via Mercedes]

There is a qualified dearth of dining options in ANC at this point.  Lots of 
small local places are trying to do take out with 10% of their staff on hand.  
SWMBA will only support local at this point, and take away meal was procured a 
few days ago.  I had to get online to trace who was even open anymore, as each 
passing day more establishments are going under.  It took an hour of looking 
over menus on web sites, calling and finding the place was closed down or the 
menu was no longer congruent with offerings, but we did end up with a meal for 
each homebound hostage.  Three businesses, each overly appreciative of the 
opportunity to serve, and socially distanced handover.  Arrive at the appointed 
time, stay in the car and let them know it is safe to plop the meal on the 
outdoor transfer spot.  Give them time to scurry back inside, then trudge 
through the snow to secure the package.  Once home, toss it in the nuker to 
warm it back up. 

Many higher end spots offer a take and back meal for four.  Call in for the 
daily offering, pay with CC, get your pick up time and gather your goodies.  
Head on home with ready to heat meal option of the day.  The faster food places 
do hot food for in car consumption, of the burger and fries sort.

At the house, there are three people with three disparate schedules for 
feeding, so very much grab and scarf what you find as either left over or you 
get creative and make something that ends up with left over.

to do the 10 year grease maintenance I looked at the switch but couldn’t

I did replace the tab that the pivot rod goes through a few years ago
because the opening in the tab was getting worn out and the mixer head
would wobble under heavy loads like you describe.

wish the bowls would sit flat on the counter. Fortunately, all of the
PTO driven accessories work with both, so we were able to keep
those. Never got a grain mill, but have a grinder and pasta maker.

With the tilt-head mixer did you ever have trouble with the bowl popping
out of the base with heavy mixing (e.g. bread dough)? I had to braze
extra metal onto the "threads" on the bowl to stop that happening.

True. I wasn’t making a HP comparison, really, more of a performance one - 
stuff your foot into the throttle and go, go GO! Not typical for previous 
diesels, at least not any of the ones I owned. Many, many smiles per mile with

Re: [MBZ] SDL

Any 350SDL that’s still on the road today, unless it’s a very low mileage 
example, is highly unlikely to be a rod bender. If it’s imminent, it’s not 
difficult to tell.

And yes, they have performance quite similar to equally sized vergassers. That 
was the thing that really amazed me about mine.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Eats?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Not that I recall. Some years back it got knocked over on the left side, and 
that rendered the “On/Off” switch wonky in that the detent that held it in the 
“Off” position was really touchy. You always made sure it was off before you 
plugged it in (which you should do anyway.) When I opened it up to do the 10 
year grease maintenance I looked at the switch but couldn’t determine what the 
issue was, so I just buttoned it back up.

I did replace the tab that the pivot rod goes through a few years ago because 
the opening in the tab was getting worn out and the mixer head would wobble 
under heavy loads like you describe.

Best appliance ever. Built like a brick doghouse, simple and inexpensive to 
repair.

86/87 for 300SDL, and 90/91 for 350SDL.  None in 88, for whatever reason.
The 300's have potentially bad heads, the 350's have potentially bad rods.

Yes, that's what I've heard. Just really nice drivers. I'd love to find

1986 to 1991, I believe. Started out as the 300SDL with the 3.0l inline six, 
then went up the 350SD/350SDL in 1990, I think.

With the tilt-head mixer did you ever have trouble with the bowl popping
out of the base with heavy mixing (e.g. bread dough)? I had to braze
extra metal onto the "threads" on the bowl to stop that happening.

Oh, I’m sure this is a $30k+ car on BaT. I’ve seen far lesser examples go for 
almost that much.

I would be interested if it were closer and I could see the underside.

Great color, wood is still OK, and a manual transmission and sunroof.
Interior leather is a trivial consideration. Euro headlights a definite
plus.  Easily worth $20K on BAT.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Eats?

Just out of curiosity, how much grain does it take to produce a cup or pound of 
flour? I’ve seen the grain mills before, but was concerned about it being far 
more effort than it was worth.

I found a couple of older commercial models on CL, one is mine and one I gave 
to a son. They are 100% duty cycle and are legal for trade. My grain mill is 
the Family Grain Mill made in Germany. If you enjoy whole grain flour,

 I've also made some bread. I use our machine only to mix, I then transfer to a 
regular bread pan and bake in the oven.
I think I've finally given up on the pan of water in the oven while I bake 
bread trick. I was having a hard time getting the bottom of the bread to firm 
up, taking away the humidity generator seems to have helped.

Supply/demand working properly. The sure way to cure the toilet paper
shortage is to raise the price until supply meets demand. But that's
called "price gouging" in the media.

What's worse, having to pay more for something, or not being able to buy
it at all?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Eats?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

After 20+ years of use, we just retired our KSM90 KitchenAid stand mixer (tilt 
head) and moved up to the larger 6 quart bowl lift model. That thing will rip 
your arm off, given the opportunity. I only wish the bowls would sit flat on 
the counter. Fortunately, all of the PTO driven accessories work with both, so 
we were able to keep those. Never got a grain mill, but have a grinder and 
pasta maker.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Eats?

Well one thing I have noticed is that the farther up the socio-economic chain 
the more plentiful stuff gets.

WalMart is out, Publix might have some, there’s all kinds of stuff at the Fresh 
Market. For those willing to pay the higher prices stuff is still there.

Haven’t looked at paper goods, though. I might do that tomorrow to see what’s 
there.

Re: [MBZ] SDL

Very similar to driving the 560SEL, except with more engine noise,
usually somewhat less options (like heated seats, etc.), and the ability
to get 31mpg on selected trips.  Ours was pretty reliable at getting 27+
no matter how you drove it.

Re: [MBZ] SDL

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I can’t speak for Curley, but I believe he is lauding the graces of the W126 
long wheelbase diesel, specifically the 300 or 350SDL.

They’re wonderful cars to drive, especially the 350SDL. The amount of power 
that engine has for the size of the car makes it drive almost as well as a 
gasser. I know the 350SDL I had would stand up on it’s hind legs without 
hesitation when you mashed the throttle. Really surprised me, as I had never 
driven a car with the 3.5l diesel. A very strong engine.

It was an even better car after I put a 19mm rear sway bar on it. The 
difference that made in body roll was amazing. The back end of the car stayed 
planted like it was nailed down.

I'm on the side of waiving some safeguards for clinical trials of

Re: [MBZ] OT: Eats?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Yeah, the lack of walking, of which I usually did 3+ miles a day during the 
week at work, has definitely taken a toll.

We usually eat a big lunch and just graze around dinner time. If we prepare 
dinner 2-3 times a week that’s probably a lot.

I’ve got a freezer full of food and plenty of fresh stuff, too. I’ll go to the 
Fresh Market, one of those upscale bespoke/non-GMO/free range/artisinal grocery 
stores close by tomorrow morning during their geezer hours. It’s so much less 
traveled than the big guys like Publix or WallyWorld that last time I was there 
the place was like a morgue. Took someone a minute or two to get to the cash 
register to check me out.

Re: [MBZ] Beer virus from China

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Stick it in your autoclave.  Put into a sealed box with ozone generator for
12 hours.  Wash for at least 20 seconds with soap and hot water.  Only
handle while wearing gloves and N95 respirator (that has been properly
fitted).

Re: [MBZ] Volvo PV544 on BAT

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

I sure did enjoy the 1958 Volvo PV444 that we had in the 1990’s. It was a 
mostly original driver quality car, but still a head turner. Someone re-powered 
it with a B18 engine which was more powerful than the original B16. During the 
move from California to Oregon, the moving company damaged it, so we decided to 
prepare it for a full restoration which was never to be. We ended up giving it 
away a few years later. Hopefully, it’s still around or donated parts to 
another driver.

Agree with Dimitri. Upholstery and headliner are shot, but more importantly is 
what the underside looks like.

Love the color, though. Great combination.

Seller’s name doesn’t give me the warm fuzzies.
