[MBZ] Welding helmet update
So some of you might remember that my auto-darkening welding helmet got super slow to darken. I refer to this link: http://www.pskl.us/wp/?p=648 Mine is a Northern Tool helmet but its completely identical inside to the one in the link. I like his solution but decided I was going to go with AA batteries because I have lots of them. It seemed to me that there was no reason to use 2 sets of batteries for this job when one would do. I removed the old cells, wired jumpers from the left port to the right. I was careful to carry + to + and - to -. The battery carrier I'd bought at Radio Shack has a 9volt style connector on top making it removable. I thought this would make changing batteries easier. So I soldered in a 9 volt style pickup, then connected and tested by holding it in the sunlight, cover the sensors and it lightens, remove my hand and it darkens instantly. Sweet! Problem, after about 2 minutes it starts to smell hot, in fact it IS hot, the batteries and the wires. Clearly somebody is drawing power, more power than I expect considering the assembly is face down on my desk. My multi-meter suggests its 3A of draw which is huge from AA batteries... So it would appear connecting the two sides together is a bad idea. This might explain why in the link and in my helmet one of the two batteries was dead while the other was fine. Now that I've got to go back to Radio Shack I'm debating if I want the weight of 4 AA batteries or if I shouldn't go with AAA like the other guy did. -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Diesel-less
Mine has 241,9something so thats clearly not true. The dual mass flywheel is a known weak point. The suspensions seem to just come apart all at once. Where a Mercedes around 200,000 needs (in my experience) a ball joint and shocks from what I've seen online a Volkswagen needs all the struts done. Either that or VW people are really good at ignoring how bad the suspension is getting until they all of a sudden need a bunch of work. I'm seeing a lot of people online with 2004-2006 cars in the same place Bob was at. In no small part you get what you pay for. In '98 my Jetta still cost half of what my 190D did in '84. That said with the money put into it (other than the DMF that could be done over time) thats still a $10k car.

If the only thing connected between the two sides is the power leads, it is rather odd that they would cause a problem. One thing you could try is putting a resistor in series. I'd try 100 to 300 ohm or so. That will isolate the two sides in case there is something screwing going on with the regulator. That won't work if the circuit needs a current surge. If you put the battery boxes near the pivot, it won't affect the balance of the helmet as much. -- Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Next Shoe, Was: Go Go TSA!
My son's doc still puts everything on paper. No computer records at all. He said if they are on paper the govt cannot compel him to provide the patient records to fed agencies. It's a lot more work for him as he hand writes each prescription where other docs push a button and repeat prescriptions are printed and only need his sig. He's an older doc - like those mentioned below - so he may be preparing to retire. I just don't see how people can absorb the much higher premiums we keep hearing about. Not just hundreds more dollars, but thousands more - sometimes ten's of thousands more $$'s People cannot take those kinds of hits without consequences. It'll be interesting as more and more are dropped from existing insurance. I also wonder what is _/not /_being reported on by the main stream news networks - like the election last week where a republican won and not a single MSN network mentioned it! Not one of the big 3!

He said he'd have to hire additional people just to handle the new requirements and it just wasn't worth it. I expect the older medicos will leave first (you know, the ones that can actually diagnose problems); new doctor training will gradually collapse as med students realize they will never be able to repay education loans at government reimbursement rates.

[MBZ] Welding helmet - finale
I know you guys have been on pins and needles. ;) Went to Radio Shack and picked out their last 2 AAA battery holder, fortunately I'd bought one the last time I was there. I removed the 2 AA holder and installed the AAA holders in its place. I plugged in the batteries and checked function, then gave it a few minutes to heat up. Seeing no heat up I potted the wires into the case with hot glue, then assembled the shield itself with a little more hot glue just to pull in the corners that had lifted when I cut it apart. Installed the shield into the helmet and again used hot glue to hold the battery holders in place just above the shield. This places them forward of the hinge but I think actually improves balance a little. The enloop AAA rechargables from my calculator provide power for now. Need to order some more batteries. It turns out I only own 8 AAA rechargables but something like 30 AAs. -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] A story
An old guy and his bucket of shrimp It happened every Friday evening, almost without fail, when the sun resembled a Giant orange and was starting to dip into the blue ocean. Old Ed came strolling along the beach to his favorite pier. Clutched in his bony hand was a bucket of shrimp. Ed walks out to the end of the pier, where it seems he almost has the world to himself. The glow of the sun is a golden bronze now. Everybody's gone, except for a few joggers on the beach. Standing out on the end of the pier, Ed is alone with his thoughts...and his bucket of shrimp. Before long, however, he is no longer alone. Up in the sky a thousand white dots come screeching and squawking, Winging their way toward that lanky frame standing there on the end of the pier. Before long, dozens of seagulls have enveloped him, their wings fluttering and flapping wildly. Ed stands there tossing shrimp to the hungry birds. As he does, if you listen closely, You can hear him say with a smile, 'Thank you. Thank you.' In a few short minutes the bucket is empty. But Ed doesn't leave. He stands there lost in thought, as though transported to another time and place. When he finally turns around and begins to walk back toward the beach, A few of the birds hop along the pier with him until he gets to the stairs, and then they, too, fly away. And old Ed quietly makes his way down to the end of the beach and on home. If you were sitting there on the pier with your fishing line in the water, Ed might seem like 'a funny old duck,' as my dad used to say. Or, to onlookers, he's just another Old codger, lost in his own weird world, feeding the seagullswith a bucket full of shrimp. To the onlooker, rituals can look either very strange or very empty. They can seem altogether unimportant ... maybe even a lot of nonsense. Old folks often do strange things,at least in the eyes ofBoomers and Busters. Most of them would probably write Old Ed off, down there in Florida. That's too bad. They'd do well to know him better. His full name: Eddie Rickenbacker. He was a famous hero in World War I, And then he was in WWII. On one of his flying missions across the Pacific, He and his seven-member crew went down. Miraculously, all of the men survived, Crawled out of their plane, and climbed into a life raft. Captain Rickenbacker and his crew floated for days on the rough waters of the Pacific. They fought the sun. They fought sharks. Most of all, they fought hunger and thirst. By the eighth day their rations ran out. No food. No water. They were hundreds of miles From land and no one knew where they were or even if they were alive. Every day across America millions wondered and prayed that EddieRickenbacker might somehow be found alive. The men adrift needed a miracle. That afternoon they had a simple devotional service And prayed for a miracle. They tried to nap. Eddie leaned back and pulled his Military cap over his nose. Time dragged on. All he could hear was the slap of the waves against the raft... Suddenly, Eddie felt something land on the top of his cap. It was a seagull! Old Ed would later describe how he sat perfectly still, planning his next move. With a flash of his hand and a squawk from the gull, he managed to grab it and wring its neck. He tore the feathers off, and he and his starving crew made a meal of it - a very slight Meal for eight men. Then they used the intestines for bait. With it, they caught fish, Which gave them food and more bait . . . and the cycle continued. With that simple Survival technique, they were able to endure the rigors of the sea until they were Found and rescued after 24 days at sea. Eddie Rickenbacker lived many years beyond that ordeal, but he never forgot the Sacrifice of that first life-saving seagull... And he never stopped saying, 'Thank you.' That's why almost every Friday night he would walk to the end Of the pier with a bucket full of shrimp and a heart full of gratitude. Reference: (Max Lucado, In The Eye of the Storm, pp..221, 225-226) PS: Eddie Rickenbacker was the founder of Eastern Airlines. Before WWI he was race car driver. In WWI he was a pilot And became America 's first ace. In WWII he was an instructor And military adviser, and he flew missions with the combat pilots. Eddie Rickenbacker is a true American hero. And now you know Another story about the trials and sacrifices that brave men have endured for your freedom. As you can see, I chose to pass it on. It is a great story that many don't know...You've got to be careful with old guys, You just never know what they have done during their lifetime. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. A story from Chuck L. Captain Eddie was 1. a Champion Race car driver. That is more than most folks can achieve 2. An Ace Fighter pilot. That is more than most folks can achieve 3. Founder of Eastern Air lines. That is more than most folks can

Re: [MBZ] hey WILTON
Much of is a matter of stuff catching up sense I've been unable to do it myself for nearly 15 years. Widow's walk roof has been leaking since I've been here for 26 years; others who worked on it did inadequate jobs; 'kept telling 'em we need to dismantle the railings and replace the roof before repairing/rebuilding railings.

I removed the 2 AA holder and installed the AAA holders in its place. I plugged in the batteries and checked function, then gave it a few minutes to heat up. Seeing no heat up I potted the wires into the case with hot glue, then assembled the shield itself with a little more hot glue just to pull in the corners that had lifted when I cut it apart. Installed the shield into the helmet and again used hot glue to hold the battery holders in place just above the shield. This places them forward of the hinge but I think actually improves balance a little. The enloop AAA rechargables from my calculator provide power for now. Need to order some more batteries. It turns out I only own 8 AAA rechargables but something like 30 AAs. -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Widow's walk roof has been leaking since I've been here for 26 years; others who worked on it did inadequate jobs; 'kept telling 'em we need to dismantle the railings and replace the roof before repairing/rebuilding railings. Finally got roof replaced coupla weeks ago with EPDM (membrane); same on bay area roof.

Personally, I tend to put things off longer than I should until i have numerous things that need attention. I used to be better at doing stuff as needed, which prevented a land slide of work at once.I must be getting lazy in my old age.? ;-) The 300D is like that. Need to do the front wheel bearings and the front struts as well. Also need to have rear brake hard piping replaced and check the rear suspension bushings.Oh yeah, I need to find the leak in the AC system. If it's in the evap inside the dash I may have to buy another car as my wife cannot have a daily driver without AC in our Va summer heat. So much stuff, so little time Good luck with all that stuff Wilton!

Re: [MBZ] Welding helmet - finale
my old Jackson eqc auto dark was flashing me, so I ordered a fiber metal with the nice new angular dependency compensation auto dark filter from Balder.si which took weeks to arrive but is great. while waiting for it however, I put a passive gold lens in the Jackson and upgraded the headgear for a total of $28 and pretty much fell in love with that setup. try the gold fixed shade. you will like it. Seems like all the pro welders I know run a huntsman cardboard helmet with a small athermal (philips) gold. it throws light back at the field from your viewing angle. Nice color.

Re: [MBZ] Nice Green Finnie
had the 1960 190d. Nice little car but fundamentally this body style is not worth more than 3k no matter what motor is in it. sold it to a chef in Mississippi to run wvo. Anyway kind of a joke at 7500 when you can have a nice Ponton for less maybe even with the webasto. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
