Mine was replaced under warranty in 2006 but there's nothing mechanically wrong 
with it. Since I don't know enough to cobble up an electronic interface I have 
no idea if the controls work.


I don't have a CDI, I just have a low mile VNT I bought off eBay, the seller 
admitted to me he got it free because it was scrap from a warranty repair. I 
intended to put it on a OM602 with a crazy Finn IP, but shortly after I bought 
the turbo the dollar dropped against the euro, and I would have had to weld up a 
custom exhaust manifold, and in the end it turned out to be one of those 
projects that never went beyond parts buying. It would have been way cool to 
control it with a PIC, but I probably would have just hooked up a mechanical 
wastegate dashpot to the VNT vanes.

I don't actually need wingtips at the necktie-free office I've been at the last 
few tax seasons, but the distressed grey ones are all-purpose shoes, and the 
black ones work OK with slacks and an open dress shirt. I bought the greys 
mainly to have something for 'blue jean Saturday' at the office after the sole 
on one of my made in India Nunn Bush loafers disintegrated. I guess I just 
really like wingtips.


And these are incredibly comfortable:

Yeah, I know you can't pronounce an r pahdnah.

  pencilneck bowtie girlieboys in san fransicko  are descended from a 
company that used to make jeans for men.  I won't buy their stuff, 
unless it is in a thrift store.  Buying their stuff in a thrift store 
does not support their wacko agenda.  Someone else already did when 
the stuff is in the thrift store.

Yeah, I know you can't pronounce an r pahdnah.
McCloud managed to be a cowboy in NYC.  No reason you can't be a man 
and wear a western shirt without buttons where you live.


 pencilneck bowtie girlieboys in san fransicko   are descended from a 
company that used to make jeans for men.  I won't buy their stuff, 
unless it is in a thrift store.  Buying their stuff in a thrift store 
does not support their wacko agenda.  Someone else already did when 
the stuff is in the thrift store.


You know I live in the east right? :)They'd work out if I cut the 
sleeves off I reckon...
When you talk of the girlie boys did you mean American Apparel? 
That'd be in LA, they're pencil necked, mustachioed, skinny jean 
wearing girlie men. Theres a difference. ;)

GIldan makes lots of tshirts the screen printers use.

They last for years.

I also like the Blue Generation button shirts from screen

I've worn them almost every day.  THe collars are wearing out now.

Best of all, they are not from the pencilneck bowtie girlieboys in

[MBZ] OT: Filipino breakfast

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Once again I chickened out on the Chinese breakfast, today I had the Filipino 
breakfast which was crispy adobo pork, a fried egg, garlic rice and some 
fruit.It was fantastic, I don't normally like fried eggs but with the adobo 
sauce it was really nice. The crispy pork was very crispy, kind of crunchy 
actually and tasted great.
I finally found a money changer, the banks are closed on Saturday. I'd walked 
past the place yesterday but didn't really know what I was looking for. Then I 
went to the local public market, its Saturday so they were in full swing. I 
bought a bottle of fresh juice, some freshly roasted coffee (which will be not 
so fresh by the time I get it home and brew it but whatever) a couple chocolate 
croissants and "the best dried mango slices in Makati". Spent around 700php or 
about $15. The croissants were 65 php each which is great at around $1.40 a 
liter of water was 30php after tax which is still less than a buck for a big 
bottle.
Anyway I'm about ready for bed, since I'll be working all night I'm sleeping 
during the day.

I loved the chickenbars in the 110/11/112.  Post 65, they didn't have 
one over the driver's window, so I picked them up and junkyards and 
put them in.  The mounting was still there,  under the headliner.

I always anchored my hand on the chickenbar and planted my elbow on 
the windowsill.  comfortable on the highway.

Re: [MBZ] trouble right here in River City

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Bleeding a master cylinder is easy.  Get some clear fish tank air line from 
Wal-Mart, and fresh fluid.  Install the new master.  Fill the reservoir.  Open 
bleeder for front left brake (closest to reservoir), attach clear hose to 
bleeder and run end up to drain into reservoir.  Sit in car and pump brakes 
while watching the clear hose, stop pumping when the fluid runs clear with no 
bubbles.  Close up the bleeder, move to left rear wheel and repeat.  Done.

I've used this method in a parking garage, worked great.  There was no need to 
bleed the right rear, I might have bled the right front.

Re: [MBZ] Nice Ponton

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

I especially like the grab bars on the inside of the roof.  Never 
seen those before.


http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/cto/5070849719.html 



Dan



I loved the chickenbars in the 110/11/112.  Post 65, they didn't have 
one over the driver's window, so I picked them up and junkyards and 
put them in.  The mounting was still there,  under the headliner.


I always anchored my hand on the chickenbar and planted my elbow on 
the windowsill.  comfortable on the highway.

Wal-mart has 3 packs of Fruity Loomies for 8.46 and Hanes Hates The 
2nd Amendment for $11.37.
A brand I never heard of, Gildan, is 5 for 9.97 but not in any store 
within 50 miles of me.


Mitch.


GIldan makes lots of tshirts the screen printers use.

Curt, for heavy shirts check these out:
http://www.wrangler.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10751&langId=-1&productId=180665&cm_mmc=CSE-_-Google-_-CPC-_-Product&gclid=Cj0KEQjwhuqrBRCFuPz4ipOx5JIBEiQAZJ7F-iAEftT2XJalV2Fdtyt9Mgf_ivFLLci8KU9plQJfNq4aAnFE8P8HAQ

They last for years.

I also like the Blue Generation button shirts from screen 
printer/embroidery shops.  They are about 25 bucks embroidered.  I am 
fixin ta buy a few more of them some day.  Mine are 10 years old and 
I've worn them almost every day.  THe collars are wearing out now.


Best of all, they are not from the pencilneck bowtie girlieboys in 
san fransicko

Re: [MBZ] hey WILTON

[clay via Mercedes]

Seattle has a very exceptional thrift store presence.   There was even a 
hippity hop song about it last year.  There are a few buyers of thrift items, 
but not enough to keep stores from loading up dumpsters with items that lived 
on shelves too long.  I think it is all of 20 day turn around.  Big box stores 
with thousands of feet of floor space.

Anchorage has some of the worst stores I have seen.  Small (1k sqft), slim 
pickings and out of date products.   Maybe the market has 24 hour turn around, 
but it did not look like there was any traffic.

Aww, you ratbag.  I was thinking about the tent sale today.  That is, by far, 
the absolute best place to get a heck of a deal on anything A-E.

I’m going to go over to their retail store in Whorelando in the next week or 
two and buy a pair of brown or chili loafers.  I don’t need wingtips for work, 
so I’m slowly but surely phasing them out of my rotation.

As a personal choice of language.. I would insert the word EVER following
the word "NOT" .

But then.. I've only been watching her in action for 45 yrs...
>From back when she was fired from the team investigation Richard
Nixon, because she was lying, cheating and ignoring the law. Well, that and
the other 80 or so scandals which involve her, and dead people.

I've got some heavy high quality white Ts that came from a screen print shop up 
north. Anvil is the brand I think.

I've also got some thinner ones.
Guess what I like to wear under a dress shirt when it's more than 65 degrees 
indoors?


Oh, I caught your comment about Dan's shoes.
I have two pair of 'casual wing tips' that I bought before tax season this year,
the McTavish model in black wax infused cowhide and smoky gray distressed 
leather. The gray ones are a lot softer, the black ones get uncomfortable after 
the first ten hours or so. Black was on sale for $199 and I had a $50 credit on 
$200 purchase offer from American Express. Gray were on clearance for $147.


Now I'm on the hunt for something in brown, burgundy, or tan. Would really like 
to get something in walnut or chili colored shell cordovan. Unfortunately the 
only 10E Cambridge wing tips I can find at shoebank are black. Will hit the tent 
sale next week, already bought a $200 gift card with the current Amex offer in 
case I find shoes that don't cost $200 I'll still get the $50 statement credit.

Remember Clear And Present Danger, where Clancy had the bad guys detonating a 
nuke in an NFL stadium parking lot?
The opening of Bracken's first book is almost that scary, and what comes after 
is more frightening than having terrorists knock down skyscrapers with GWB at 
the helm of government.

credit card company apparently didn't believe me when I said I'd be traveling. 
I was lucky because my hotel gives free breakfast and put a 1PHP (just over

nothing after that would so I could have a pizza for dinner. I had a stern talk

Re: [MBZ] hey WILTON

Oh and looking back I realize that American Apparel has a basic t-shirt for $11 
on sale for $9. I've got one and I didn't think I had paid $28 for it. Its a 
good shirt, they have decent socks too although for tube socks I prefer Wigwam 
which is also made in USA.

It’s probably been a couple of years since I bought t-shirts, so it’s very 
possible their prices have gone up - I need to look at that and see, as I could 
have unrealistic expectations of the current prices.  I was just really caught 
off guard when I went into Penney’s the other day.

My Dad had a tailor for years, and both my brother and I went to him until he 
passed.  He would measure you up, have you pick the fabric, and a week later 
you had your shirts.  Want more?  Just call and tell him what you want as far 
as fabric and he makes up more from your patterns.

My brother is a “big and tall” guy, and he often remarked that the term was 
simply a marketing ploy for retailers to increase the price of clothing another 
20%-30%.  For what it cost to have Nick make a shirt for him he would have been 
hard pressed to find something of the same quality off the rack, and that’s if 
it fit.

It’s tough to find someone with these skills any more.  I tried to find someone 
in Tampa like him, but no luck.  I didn’t want a high end men’s store tailor, I 
wanted some guy running his own operation who you could trust to take good care

I wonder if theres a real market for that these days. There are lots of folks 
my age and younger actually making things and the maker movement has no

Looks like Amazon will come in around half of what you saw at Penny's. I bet 
Wal-Mart does too but I bet the shirts at the Mart are cheapened to match...

I didn't want to beat you over the head with it. I also wanted to keep the 
graphic exactly the original size, fortunately they'd given me some border. 
It'd be fun to have them printed out so you'd need a double take to see the 
difference. I was also pleased that Pixlr online image editor had a font that 
was very close to the original. In fact I like the Pixlr font a little better 
than the original.

I like most of the Chinese people I have met.

Given a choice between bowing to the east and under the chicom thumb, 
I'd choose the thumb.  All the haoles in China I know of are quite 
happy.  The Chinese I know here, are VERY happy to be here, not in 
China.  The Chinese have lived in civilized society for thousands of 
years unlike desert inhabitants.


I can understand the neighbors being nervous, but what we need here 
is someone with qualities like Churchill, or our own TR in the first

like the current (i vote present)  resident who does not understand

Re: [MBZ] hey WILTON

Oh man, I wish I could find somebody to make shirts for me. I hate how light 
most dress shirts are. They're good for the summer but I like a heavy shirt...
American Apparel has t-shirts for $28 EACH, but they're made in the USA. Just 
about every other shirt you might buy will be sending money overseas.
The shirts I'm having made are American Apparel, their wholesale prices must be 
fantastic if the screen printer can make them for me at $12.50 each with a 2 
color print. I'll be selling some for $20/ea and giving some away to promote my

Re: [MBZ] hey WILTON

[WILTON via Mercedes]

Most of the men usually wore Fedoras, even straw or old Fedoras when working 
in the fields.  Many wore farmers' straw hats; some wore pith helmets.  At 
about 12, I acquired a pith helmet, but I soon cut off almost all of the 
brim, except a small area in front (for a bill), and painted the hat white 
to make it look like an Indy racing helmet, which I wore for several years 
and/or renewed as  necessary.  For the few around who did not know my name, 
I was known as "that boy who wears the racing helmet."  From a distance, one 
could swear it was a racing helmet.


I've seldom worn a hat except when required as part of an Air Force uniform 
or for a bit of cover from the intense sun in the fields in summer.  The 
only time(s) I've worn a ball cap was with the fatigue/utility uniform 
during the 3½ years I was enlisted and a B-47 maintenance crew chief.  In a 
drawer upstairs, I still have the one that I last wore in early March 1960, 
when I left Lincoln AFB, NE, to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS).  I 
take it out occasionally and study it as a reminder - that's not with 
nostalgia - just a reminder to be thankful.


I don't remember seeing so many ball caps before, maybe, 25 years ago.  I 
have not succumbed to the "fashion;" I've been lucky enough, though, to have 
always (even now) had plenty of hair, now white.   ;<)

I was thinking of you and your stories of your youth.

What sort of hats did you all wear back then?

Hats are an odd thing. Useful for folks who work outdoors like farmers and 
decorative to some extent for the ladies etc but apart from baseball hats, 
seem to have all but faded from the scene.
I have a couple of Tilley hats that I wear from time to time but my boys 
did not want to be seen with me when I wore them.

Re: [MBZ] OT More Crazy Weather Not to Worry About

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Ahh, it was a tough day food wise. I had cinnamon roll french toast for 
breakfast which came with some of the best bacon I've ever had. I was too 
chicken to try the "Chinese breakfast" with its century egg. Maybe I'll be more 
adventurous this morning.Yesterday (its Saturday here now) was Independence day 
so I couldn't find anywhere to change money. Then an ATM ate my card and my 
credit card company apparently didn't believe me when I said I'd be traveling. 
I was lucky because my hotel gives free breakfast and put a 1PHP (just over 
$200) hold on my card when I first came in. That charge went through but 
nothing after that would so I could have a pizza for dinner. I had a stern talk 
with my credit card company and they've promised to cut the shit. I also 
realized my American Express might be a better choice for traveling and also 
noticed my backup Mastercard is expired. 
I walked all over the place and managed to make my feet sore from wearing teva 
sandals that my feet aren't used to. I think I might also have gotten a little 
sunburn.
Overall not a great first day today should be better.

Re: [MBZ] hey WILTON

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Really, you're all worried about $7 a shirt? I'm having some shirts made and 
the cheap ones were $7.50 each (thats with 2 color screen printing) the made in 
USA American Apparel ones I'm getting are $12.50 each.
I would suggest that you maybe have a warped opinion on what the shirts should 
cost. Penny's has to make a little profit too...
Actually this is kind of whats wrong with America, how many shirts are you 
going to buy that it would cost "a small fortune"? What else would you do with 
the money? The cheapest means somebody doesn't get to eat. As much as I like 
Amazon for selling me weird stuff I can't find anywhere else I like buying from 
local companies so my neighbors have jobs.

I pop into Penneys yesterday, go to the Men's department and locate the row of

Even with the stupid 20% off, additional discount for Penneys card holders,

Interesting. I go to Target occasionally because I hate Wal-Martians and the 
shoppers at Target are at least 20% less aggravating. The only reason I can 
tell you the last time I went to Wal-Mart is because Dad made me go with him 
last month to buy a 4G hot spot...

China’s Deployment of Oil Rig near Vietnam

"..one could argue that China’s current move will further push Vietnam into 
the arms of the U.S., thereby possibly creating an anti-China coalition in East 
Asia including Japan, the Philippines, and maybe others"

http://thediplomat.com/2014/05/chinas-deployment-of-oil-rig-is-not-a-strategic-mistake/
.
G: Vietnam is worried about Chinas expansion in the local waters so they want 
to buy U.S. weapons, and hopefully secure a powerful ally.

"Vietnam says it wants to be able to buy weapons from the United States.
As relations between the US and Vietnam warm, the US is moving closer to 
lifting a ban on lethal arms exports applied after the communist victory in the 
Vietnam war.
Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh said it had been nearly 20 
years since Washington and Hanoi normalised relations, and so it was "abnormal" 
to retain the ban..."

http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/article/1600061/china-has-nothing-worry-about-vietnam-asks-us-end-arms-embargo
..
G: It's interesting that not long ago Vietnam was our bitter enemy, and now it 
may become our military ally.

In a similar way, during the early Iraq occupation, the Sunnis were our friends 
and the Shiites were our enemies.
Now, the Shiites are our friends and the Sunnis are our enemies.

Sadly, the failure was not mysterious.
Target totally misjudged the Canadian market.
They assumed that we were like the USA and would flock to Target once 
they opened. They did not fully appreciate the foothold that WalMart 
already has here.
Apparently (it is not obvious to me but I don't spend much time in 
either store so what do I know?) in the USA, Target is considered 
up-market from WalMart.
Target assumed that the middle class and up would abandon WalMart in 
favour of Target.
It did not happen. Target opened too many stores all at once and did not 
have a supply network able to stock them. Their stores did not have 
enough stock and much of what they did have was not of obvious quality.
Many people went to Target once, looked around, and did not go back. I 
did not even go once. My wife went, told me it was a lost cause, and did 
not go back. I listened to her and did not bother to go there. I go to 
WalMart around here about once a year. I go to a WalMart in Grand Forks 
ND several times a year and mostly buy M1 oil.
So, the MBA's who drove the Target bus into Canada were not doing their 
homework and should have been fired for what they did.

Why would they need pictures? They stayed that it's very clean. Twice.

And I bet the AC is ICE COLD.

Re: [MBZ] hey WILTON

Having not been there I really can't say but I've had excellent luck in 
Burbank. A lot of costume stuff that was bought for big movies and such ends up 
at Thrift stores where it ironically gets bought for other movies and 
productions...
New England I think has some of the worst thrift stores. I don't think its 
because people don't get rid of stuff, they do. I think its more because they 
are heavily shopped so the good stuff goes early. Yankee thrift and all that.

What sort of hats did you all wear back then?

Hats are an odd thing. Useful for folks who work outdoors like farmers
and decorative to some extent for the ladies etc but apart from baseball
hats, seem to have all but faded from the scene.
I have a couple of Tilley hats that I wear from time to time but my boys

Re: [MBZ] OT More Crazy Weather Not to Worry About

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

HA!
I went ahead and made the graphic and wrote a blog post about it: 
http://curtsotherblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/quasi-political.htmlI live in a red 
part of one of the bluest states and I do a lot of traditionally "conservative 
value" type activities while having a bunch of liberal friends.
I think my attitude boils down to being anti-stupid which pretty much makes me 
anti-politician.
This should be an interesting election from the "everybody likes looking at a 
horrific accident" perspective. Assuming Hillary gets the democratic nomination 
it'll galvanize the right whom might just run a right wing nut job that will 
galvanize the left and it'll be a race to see who can do the stupidest thing 
that gives their opponent the votes to get elected.

I confess, what triggered my attempt at the "Clinton/Jenner" ticket was an 
incident that happened in traffic about 4 days ago.
First, you should know that I live in a "red state" that doesn't really like 
Clintons stand on anything. Yet, it has a population of "blue voters" who are 
pretty viurlent.
At a stoplight, in the lane to my right, was a Prius, with an "I'm ready for

Caddilac [big jacked up pickup truck] with a large placcard in the back window 
that also had the same words.. difference was.. that placcard had a hangmans

This year, I'm throwing my support behind the "Hillary Clinton / Bruce
