[MBZ] Re: OT Covids vax

[Rdeafboy via Mercedes]

I have been taking Vit. D [7,000 units], Vit.K2 [100mg], Zinc [50 mg], 
Quercetin [800 mg], Vit. C[1000 mg] daily as well as krill oil,ubiquinol and 
astaxanthin...Just started Magnesium Threonate which means no more migraines 
now after a history of having them...

Plesae read Drmercola.com for great info ...Twitter,goggle & MSM are calling 
this site false cause he's rightI've been taking astaxanthin [ 5 mg] for 
ten years now & my glaucoma disappeared..Went from 25 pressure down to 14 & eye 
doc said no glaucoma...Thanks to reading Dr mercola site ...Supposedly Zinc & 
quercetin combo acts like Hydoclorwhateveritis.  So I have been doing this for 
6 months.Can't hurt I thought..[ Mercola shows simple test to see if you're 
zinc deficient] I am 71 years old & still playing basketball with the 30-45 yr 
old guys.  I carry my Bball in my 1983 240D [mercedes content  !!] all the time 
ready to jump onto a court...BTW  I had a major stroke 12 years ago where I 
lost my balance for 4 1/2 years... Now about the statin talk...After my stroke 
the so called doc [he misdiagnosed me when I had my stroke saying I had an 
earache; could have given me that shot to cure stroke within 3 hrs.] put me on 
statins even though my cholesterol was 139protocol he said ...4 months 
later I couldn't walk since my thigh muscles developed myapathy [sp?]  Stopped 
it right away...Turns out that satins weakens & destroys muscles 
...Helloo...The heart is a muscle too !!   So you're taking a statin ,you have 
to take Ubiquinol or CQ10 to counter this The Japanese inventor said he 
WILL NOT take statins now   Just had to put my experience out there and I want 
to wish everybody a Merry Holiday and stay safe.  Bob

Re: [MBZ] Type of Wood Venner ?

[Rdeafboy via Mercedes]

I took off the "varnish" by flaking it off in pieces with a long bladed exacto 
knife on the console of my 83 240D . It was so old that it came off easily . 
Stripper doesn't touch the epoxied finish BTW.. Question is :: What kind of 
wood veneer is used ?  Zebrawood ?  I noticed that the wood itself is not 
stained per se ..The original clear coat is slightly infused with brown to give 
it the look.   Jamie : Would you know a close stain to match ??  I plan to use  
MiniWax "Helmsman Spar Urethane" Clear Gloss for the finish...Thanx for any

What was your health like before this regimen was started? 

 Always had bronchitis [all four us siblings had it] since both parents smoked 
3 packs a day. None of us smoke.. That went away plus I'm back to playing 
basketball with the 30-40 tr old group..Lungs feel great. Not bad for a 70 
yr old...Had glaucoma but that disappeared cause I had been taking astaxanthin 
for the last 10 yrs. . I had a major stroke 11 years ago whereas I lost my 
balance for 4 1/2 years & then decided to play ball ..I was surprised !! Also I 
make my own Kombucha tea since 2003 which helps Gut bacteria...That is 
important..BTW  I have no spleen due to hereditary Thallasemia where the spleen 
grows larger & multiplies among male members in my family ...had it taken out

A dab of mighty "J B Weld" on the face of the nut, put it in place, run the
bolt in from the other side to secure the nut while J B Weld is curing
Nut stays in place while installing cooler from awkward position.

Lightly oil bolt threads so JB Weld does not set on threads.

[Rdeafboy via Mercedes]

I use ONLY pure gas [98 octane] that I drive 27 miles for and get 2 or 3  5 
gallon containers.Never used regular gas on my 1969 Austin America.I drive it a 
lot during the next 3 months...fun !!!  I get about 25 mpg...1275 cc engine .I 
just rebuilt rear wheels with new bearings ,wheel cylinder,etc. 


I use[ pure-gas.org] for nearest locations...In fact a place a few miles from 
me charges $10 per gallon . That's why I drive to Allentown for 91 octane at 
$4.09/gallon. [ Don't have 98 from pump- just found out]

[Rdeafboy via Mercedes]

My 1983 240D had the rear passenger side Biltstein shock  broke through the 
trailing arm where it rusted/broke out.  The spring is still intact in the arm 
.  it caused the arm to bump into the outside axle rubber boot & spring a 
grease leak . I put in new axles 2-3 years ago .  I have another rubber boot 
but i know you need that tool.  I have to put it on the lift to see the boot 
tear yet .   How hard is this to put a used trailing arm in anybody done it 
..Appreciate your answers on this .

That's strange. I think there is a disc with small orifice at the gauge end of 
the oil tube that is supposed to dampen the oil pulses. Any work done to the

Subject: [MBZ] a disappointing day
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

So I spent most of the day working on the 190D.? I did a full conversion 
to R134 including new expansion valve, all o rings replaced, drier 
replaced, oil changed to ester, also pulled the blower motor and cleaned 
out a rats nest that was built back behind the fan and evaporator.? No 
idea how they got in there. Put it all back together, pulled a vacuum 
and ran leak test on the ac machine, it passed.? I then charged with 
R134 and the 201 chassis seems to convert well to R134 as it cooled 
pretty darn good at idle in the 95 degree heat today.

I noticed all the sudden the oil pressure gauge is dead, shows 0 even 
when wire is unplugged from the sending unit.? I guess I will have to 
swap the gauge out.? So as I was finishing it up

Re: [MBZ] Oil Gauge Needle Flutter

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Window Weatherstrip Temporary Fix

[Rdeafboy via Mercedes]

Happy Snowy Spring !!  In November when I had last chance good weather at about 
60 degrees I tackled my cracked window weatherstrips.  Since I was repairing a 
cracked hip roof connection on a small shed [prefab with NO tar paper lining] 
with Flex Seal Liquid in black, I decided to coat my weatherstrips on my 83 
240D . I slipped cut to size/taped to length manila folders behind to catch the 
drips..   I put on two coats giving it 24 hours to dry between each coat.  WOW 
!! After this snowy winter I had no leakage !  This stuff flows well enough to 
put it on with a small artist brush. Funny thing is I bought two good 
weatherstrips on Ebay years ago & never put them in .. Why? . I practiced in a 
junkyard removing the Aluminum trim & it wasn't easy !!  BTW I did the drivers 
side front & rear window for the winter. I'm impressed.  I also bought the 4" 
black tape for other stuff & tried cutting it with scissors..NOPE...had to PRY 
the scissors off  LOL.  Cut with razor & good luck getting it off your fingers 
when you apply it...Clean the brush/remove with lacquer thinner  BTDTIf 
anybody has tips on alum.trim removing I'm all earsyeah right !!

 Thanx Rick...Guess what?  That's exactly what I have since 8/4/17 from

this battery IS shorter than a 49I 'm holding 12.25 v plus jumper box but

[RDeafBoy]

My vet who makes house calls for my 2 cats was a vet in the Army for  
years.  He said before they tested animals, they tested to see what food is  
the 
best since they don't want to test unhealthy animals [horses dogs cats ,etc  
] Purina is the food of choice. Remember the Chinese putting melamine in 
the  food that killed numerous animals ?? Purina was the ONLY one not affected 
since  it's made here.
 He said Pro Plan is good. I got my cats off dry  food since it's 
nothing but corn.  I feed em wet food only  they  hardly drink any water since 
the wet food is moist. Dry food makes them drink  large quantities of 
water Bear in mind that my cats are indoors only.   Cats are carnivorous , 
not 
grazers [for corn].
  I started my first cat on Science Diet  - 6 years later died of 
cancer...Did some research  found out  Colgate-Palmative bought it out  
change 
the formula...so no SD for me !!!.  If you want more explanations check out 
Dr Beckers/Mercola website- valuable  info.
  My cats have lost weight due to the wet food diet. Of course if I go  
away for a few days I put out GRAIN-free dry food.No corn !!

Re: [MBZ] Another Moose Story

[RDeafBoy]

He's going to need a bigger bite. 
According to CBC.ca, two Newfoundland men  saved a shark from choking on a 
moose.  
Derrick Chaulk was driving by the Norris  Arm North harbor and thought he 
saw a beached whale. But when he went  closer to investigate, Chaulk realized 
it was a Greenland shark.And it was  choking. 
[The moose] had the fur and all the liner  on it -- it was about 2 feet 
long, maybe, Chaulk said.  
Chaulk and another man, Jeremy Ball, started  pulling on the moose, CBS.ca 
reported.  
A couple yanks and it just came right out,  he said.  
Chaulk and Ball then pushed the shark back  into the water. After being 
still for a few minutes, water starting coming off  the shark's gills and it 
headed back out to sea.  
It was a good feeling to see that shark  swim out, knowing that you saved 
his life, Chaulk said. There was a few people  up on the _bank_ 
(http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/24082762/two-men-save-shark-from-choking-on-moose#)
  
watching  and once that shark swam out and lifted his tail, and then swam all 
the way out,  everybody just clapped. 
Greenland sharks are rarely seen on the  northeast coast of Newfoundland, 
CBC.ca reported.

Do I have to take off the Alternator Adjusting Bracket ,attach the  
alternator to it with the alternator adjusting bolt with the welded  threaded 
rod 
and then  assemble the whole unit into the car  ??  Apparently my MB indy 
awhile ago had cut off the threaded rod off  the adjusting bolt when I asked 
him to tighten it when I previously couldn't-  said I didn't need it. It held 
for 25k when I put the new belt on.Now the  alternator is shot so I got a 55 
amp Bosch.  Do I really need  that  threaded rod ?? I was thinking about 
welding a threaded rod back on  but it looks like it has special nut according 
to the pictures or will a regular  stainless steel nut with heavy washers 
suffice? Or just tightening the  adjusting bolt will do without the rod just 
like the way he had it. That  seemed to work.Just have to pry it tight 
otherwise..Without the threaded rod I  can just slip the new alternator in put 
in 
the cutoff bolt. Any suggestions ?  -THANX

Uh oh. Might have to take my business elsewhere.  Does the Parts Bin  charge
for sh?

I found that  PartsBin you have to figure shipping added to your  cost 
,whereas with AutoPartsWarehouse with shipping included, the total  figure is 
almost the same as PartsBin. They're both the same  basically-related?  I 
bought from APW  the  receipt was from _www.thepartsbin.com. _ 
(http://www.thepartsbin.com. )Their warehouse was in Mid-New Jersey  I got 
the part the 
next day  here near Philly.

Put out a white bowl  fill it with water ,then add GREEN food coloring  
and maybe a drop of oil.  Looks like antifreeze which the owner will then  
steer away from .If the dog drinks it won't hurt but it'll scare the crap out 
of  the owner.

Re: [MBZ] 617 IP Ticks

[RDeafBoy]

Just catching up on these after being away to the Jersey shore for a  week 
getting the house ready for the summer [Ocean City - no damage from Sandy  
due to being in the center of the eye  due to that my civil engineer dad  
bought on the highest elevation of 10' on the island in 1973]
   Anyway I wanna give my input on tick prevention. When I  yonder into 
vegetation,such as walking thru the parks or birdwatching, I rub  my any 
exposed skin with Bounce dryer paper { or generic brand } Rub  the back of your 
neck too. Usually I'll tuck a used piece in each of my socks.  If you wear a 
hat tuck it in the back. This keeps the gnats as well as misquitos  away. 
Pleasant smell too  !! Not like Deet  no oily feel on your  skin.

[RDeafBoy]

Wilton,
   May be late on this post but I found my problem was in the 
plug itself that  connects to the amplifier. Pry open the back of the plug 
CAREFULLY  you'll  expose all the silver connectors. On mine it was a black 
or brown ground  wire that had turned brown on the solder part . I just 
dabbed it to resolder it.  Cruise control works !  Here I was driving around 
thinking I had a bad amp  for 12 years. Problem is that its hard to get under 
there since it's a short  wire.

[RDeafBoy]

Snake oil, no need for it. You'd be better off adding some bio-diesel to  
improve fuel lubricity, which may have suffered when the sulfur was  removed.

Sulfur won't help at all, may do harm; increase the amount of  acids your 
oil needs to deal with.

[RDeafBoy]

There were Vietnamese guys at MIT who lived in the library, had a  
bedroll and a few clothes, washed up in the gym, kept their stuff in a  
corner at a desk/carrel (is that what those things are?) and basically  
went to class and studied the rest of the time. That was their life, 
but  they were clearly dedicated and lived cheepcheep (food only).
 
 When I was at Widener U. [Pa.] in 1968  for engineering at the  age of 18 
,[1968-the Vietnam war] I was competing with the South Vietnamese  schooling 
for engineering Forget the curve they created !!  I  ended  up with a 
minor in engineering/major in business  graduated in  3 1/2 years .Served me 
right cause I  went into my grandfathers  architectural metal business. I 
basically went into electrical engineering so  that I could design better 
hearing aids for people like me who could only hear  only 40% WITH a hearing 
aid  [ I was born that way due to measles in the  50's ]
 
The Vietnamese used to have Math parties on Fri  Sat. among themselves  
when we normal college kids were at our  respective wild fraternities  
filled with girls that we confiscated from other campuses [ Our slogan for  
Harcum College was Harcum, Parkum,F$%#um]...BTW  Any Theta Chi's out there  ??
