Re: [MBZ] Your OT automotive pR0n for the day

Most small engine problems are caused by old/stale gas left in the carb or
sitting in the can too long.

Re: [MBZ] OT - A COUNTRY BOY REMEMBERS - TOM NELMS FARM, PART I

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Tonight we (SWMBO, little SWMBO and I) dined Cuban.  By chance we shared a
table with another couple, the gentleman was Cuban-American.  He was a
teenager when Fidel took power in January of '59.  He and his mother were
allowed to leave with the clothes they wore, one piece of jewelery and five
dollars each.  Everything else they owned (house, car, business) was stolen
by the commies.  He told us a little about it, and how Castro established
his police state and crushed dissent.

I thanked him for sharing, and told him I really valued first-hand accounts
of important events (like this and Wilton's writings), and encouraged him
to share more.

I'm not to sure our daughter (aged 8) picked up much, was very late for her
and "boring" adult talk, but often she surprises me with how much she
retains and understands.

Thanks Andrew The buy-it-now price would be great.  I have a few
serious parties... we'll see if one of them wants to pull the trigger or
wait it out.

This time of year isn't the greatest time to sell a car, but I figure at

Yep, its my car.

There is a simple explanation for the antenna being up in the photos:  The
car was running and the radio was on.

A car of this quality has a working and correct Hirschmann power antenna (A
6000U, not one of those cheapo aftermarket jobs)

[MBZ] USS The Sullivans

Wilton recalled the story of the five Sullivans in WW2:

  I opened the paper and saw the headline above a photo of five US Navy

Wilton,

A Fletcher class destroyer bore the name "The Sullivans" and if I recall
correctly she was the first US Navy ship to be named for more than one
person.

This ship is part of the Buffalo Naval museum on Lake Erie; my mother in
law spent quite a few nights aboard her as part of the Erie County Sea
Cadets detachment.  Make sure you go visit the ship if you're in the area!

Re: [MBZ] New Years Dip

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Not that I recall.  They would just break up the ice near the shore, run in, 
get submerged, and run out.

As you might expect, as was the case with just about any social gathering in 
Wisconsin, there was a fair amount of alcohol involved.

[MBZ] OT - Six Boys and 13 Hands

[WILTON via Mercedes]

Six Boys and 13 Hands 
By an anonymous Wiscinsin native and James Bradley another WI native
  
Each year I am hired to go to a Washington , DC , with the eighth grade 
class from Clinton , WI where I grew up, to videotape their trip. I greatly 
enjoy visiting our nation's capitol, and each year I take some special memories 
back with me. This fall's trip was especially memorable. On the last night of 
our trip, we stopped at the Iwo Jima Memorial. This memorial is the largest 
bronze statue in the world and depicts one of the most famous photographs in 
history -- that of the six brave soldiers raising the American Flag at the top 
of a rocky hill on the island of Iwo Jima , Japan, during WW II. 
Over one hundred students and chaperones piled off the buses and headed 
towards the memorial. I noticed a solitary figure at the base of the statue, 
and as I got closer he asked, 'Where are you guys from?' I told him that we 
were from Wisconsin . 'Hey, I'm a cheese head, too! Come gather around, Cheese 
heads, and I will tell you a story.' (It was James Bradley who just happened to 
be in Washington , DC , to speak at the memorial the following day. He was 
there that night to say good night to his dad, who had passed away. He was just 
about to leave when he saw the buses pull up. I videotaped him as he spoke to 
us, and received his permission to share what he said from my videotape. It is 
one thing to tour the incredible monuments filled with history in Washington, 
DC , but it is quite another to get the kind of insight we received that 
night.) 
When all had gathered around, he reverently began to speak. (Here are his 
words that night.) 'My name is James Bradley and I'm from Antigo, Wisconsin . 
My dad is on that statue, and I wrote a book called 'Flags of Our Fathers'. It 
is the story of the six boys you see behind me. 'Six boys raised the flag. The 
first guy putting the pole in the ground is Harlon Block. Harlon was an 
all-state football player. He enlisted in the Marine Corps with all the senior 
members of his football team. They were off to play another type of game. A 
game called 'War.' But it didn't turn out to be a game. Harlon, at the age of 
21, died with his intestines in his hands. I don't say that to gross you out, I 
say that because there are people who stand in front of this statue and talk 
about the glory of war. You guys need to know that most of the boys in Iwo Jima 
were 17, 18, and 19 years old - and it was so hard that the ones who did make 
it home never even would talk to their families about it. 
(He pointed to the statue) 'You see this next guy? That's Rene Gagnon from 
New Hampshire . If you took Rene's helmet off at the moment this photo was 
taken and looked in the webbing of that helmet, you would find a photograph...a 
photograph of his girlfriend Rene put that in there for protection because he 
was scared. He was 18 years old. It was just boys who won the battle of Iwo 
Jima. Boys. Not old men. 
The next guy here, the third guy in this tableau, was Sergeant Mike Strank. 
Mike is my hero. He was the hero of all these guys. They called him the 'old 
man' because he was so old. He was already 24. When Mike would motivate his 
boys in training camp, he didn't say, 'Let's go kill some Japanese' or 'Let's 
die for our country' He knew he was talking to little boys. Instead he would 
say, 'You do what I say, and I'll get you home to your mothers.' 
The last guy on this side of the statue is Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian from 
Arizona. Ira Hayes was one of them who lived to walk off Iwo Jima. He went into 
the White House with my dad. President Truman told him, 'You're a hero'. He 
told reporters, 'How can I feel like a hero when 250 of my buddies hit the 
island with me and only 27 of us walked off alive?' So you take your class at 
school, 250 of you spending a year together having fun, doing everything 
together. Then all 250 of you hit the beach, but only 27 of your classmates 
walk off alive. That was Ira Hayes. He had images of horror in his mind. Ira 
Hayes carried the pain home with him and eventually died dead drunk, face down, 
drowned in a very shallow puddle, at the age of 32 (ten years after this 
picture was taken). 
The next guy, going around the statue, is Franklin Sousley from Hilltop, 
Kentucky. A fun-lovin' hillbilly boy. His best friend, who is now 70, told me, 
'Yeah, you know, we took two cows up on the porch of the Hilltop General Store. 
Then we strung wire across the stairs so the cows couldn't get down. Then we 
fed them Epsom salts. Those cows crapped all night. ' Yes, he was a fun-lovin' 
hillbilly boy. Franklin died on Iwo Jima at the age of 19. When the telegram 
came to tell his mother that he was dead, it went to the Hilltop General Store. 
A barefoot boy ran that telegram up to his mother's farm. The neighbors could 
hear her scream all night and into the morning. Those neighbors lived a quarter 
of a mile away.

Re: [MBZ] Jon Agne You Need This

Hey Jon,

If you do purchase the 4.5 in Maine, I have TWO good W109 radiators and oil
coolers.  Was planning on selling them on ebay so let me know if that's
something you need.

I don't really drink bourbon but for something similar I like a nice taste of 
Mount Gay Extra Old rum. We went to the distillery in Barbados some years ago 
and had the chance to sample some with the master distiller who taught us to to 
drink rum from a brandy snifter...
Which reminds me, we'll be in Barbados in early April, gotta pick up some more 
of that stuff. When we were there in 2001 it was $25/l, in the states it sold 
for $40/l...

A nephew of SWMBO introduced me to 1792 a while back, and my son gave
me a bottle for Christmas.  I think it will supplant Old No. 7 as my
regular adult beverage.  Any of you fans of straight Bourbon or sour
mash type American Whiskies?  What flavor?


I'm planning on drinking a toast to y'all tonight in a New Years wish!

I think I’ll pass on that one.  I’ve got my eye on one up here in Maine.  Gold 
4.5.

The 250 did not get paint last fall.  Shop lost a guy due to an operation and 
it set him back 3 weeks.  That was loo late in December for me, so Klaus went 
to winter storage with the beetle.  Next spring.
