I have a pillsbury doughboy watch, and i've replaced the batteries a 
couple times!

They often stick and get stretched when you unscrew the back.  A very 
light coating of silicone grease helps the gasket stay in the slot 
while you screw the back down.


I have a Seiko I have never gotten to seal well, grease or not.

[MBZ] RIP Jerry O'Keefe WWII Ace, USMC

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

 Biloxi lost a great one, America lost a hero

"We've lost a great Biloxian, someone who did so much for this community 
in so many ways, and the country has lost an American hero," Mayor 
Andrew "FoFo" Gilich says of the passing of former Mayor Jeremiah J. 
"Jerry" O'Keefe.


O'Keefe, the country's youngest World War II flying ace, former state 
legislator, two-term Biloxi mayor, well-known businessman and 
philanthropist, died last night shortly before 3 a.m. Mayor Gilich 
ordered flags at Biloxi municipal facilities lowered to half staff to 
mark the passing.


"Jerry O'Keefe was one of the last of America's Greatest Generation," 
said Gilich, who as a youngster delivered groceries from the grocery 
store to the O'Keefe home, which was at the site of the present-day 
Doubletree, at Hopkins Boulevard and U.S. 90. A young "FoFo" Gilich also 
served as a page to O'Keefe in the state legislature.


"I've been close to the O'Keefe family all of my life," the mayor said, 
"and today I'm gaining more and more appreciation for Jerry O'Keefe's 
eight years as mayor.


"We can take great comfort in the fact that we were all able to share in 
Jerry's life, to benefit from his service to country and community. 
Today our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Jerry was a big part 
of the fabric of our community, and it's comforting to know that he has 
such a large family to carry on the O'Keefe legacy."


 From the Biloxi website  (Keesler AFB)

O'Keefe was the youngest WWII Ace, shooting down 5 planes on one tank of 
fuel in April, 1945 over Okinawa.  Pretty good ROI that day!

[MBZ] The next work

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

The 240D "tex" is doing well with its new muffler, but I am afraid I 
will have to make another "car payment" this month.   I ordered new 
engine and trans mounts, (already has a new diff  mount) and I found a 
place that sells a kit for the transfer pump, so it will get a rebuilt 
transfer pump and new priming pump.  Parts coming from 3 different 
places.   (I sure miss Rusty as a single source)


BTW, crock auto has a "kit" for the Bosal exhaust for a good price.  
They boxed the two pieces I bought from them.

And she (Captain Tardieu) was probably a little more than half my age.
Last time I caught a space-A flight on a C-17, I felt like such an old

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I think I'd rather get a new o-ring at this point.  I was able to get the
old gasket to fit, watched a youtube video.  Lay gasket on back of watch,
put back in place and start screwing it down, push gasket under back while
gradually tightening the back and it will all go back into the seat.

Looks like the gasket is 35.2mm inside diameter, 0.8mm thick (measuring the
seat).

Re: [MBZ] OT: insurance

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

Had geico. They paid for a new factory rear door for my 85 wagon after it
got hit while parked. Last door from germany.

Usaa is cheaper but they repaired my car with used parts recently. Insure
everything through them now.

You can add people as joint account holders to a new account. Anyone that
needs account access with you. They are assigned a number etc. Fyi.

How much are people paying for steel roofs and is there a choice of gauge?

[MBZ] OT watch repair help!

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I've opened up a watch to replace the battery, but now the o-ring for the
back is too big and it won't fit back into the seat?  What's going on?

Watch is a Victorinox 241316, water resistant to 100 meters (or at least it
was before I opened it up...)

Do I need to order a new o-ring to go with the new battery?  Put the old
o-ring in the freezer to shrink back down so it fits?

Consumers Reports has given USAA the top rating for years. CR is pretty 
accurate about their ratings that are based on reader surveys; not alway 
accurate on their own testing of products, however.

I don't think USAA insures anyone but active and retired military.

$1100 for 2200 sq.ft. house and 500 sq.ft. workshop/office.
About the same for the Prius and the 240D.
For hurricane damage (rare here in the hills) I pay first $5000.
All with State Farm. No claims so far.

Re: [MBZ] OT: insurance

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I've had American Family for house and cars, for over 40 years.   We got 
screwed a couple years ago when the neighbors tree fell on our garage.  
But it was not a big enough deal to make a big fight over.  Other than 
that, they have been good and very competitive prices.  But no big 
claims except the fire.  A few hail claims and such, but nothing big.   
For the building that was set on fire, they paid a fair repair cost, 
about half what I paid for the building.   The big loss was the 
contents, which were not insured.


If I could get USAA, i'd look into that, but I have to go back 4 
generations or so for military service.  My daughter could join the 
Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), but I can't get USAA.  I had 
2 uncles in WWII, but other than that, I have to go back to the War of 
1812 and the American Revolution.  I don't think USAA counts any of 
that.  My Paternal grandmother's side came from pacifist stock.  The 
first gen. had his friends coop him in a barrel and ship the barrel to 
'merika.   Once the ship was underway, he got out, but was discovered, 
and the Captain was going to throw him overboard.  Another traveller 
offered to pay his passage if he would agree to work for 7 years as an 
indentured servant.  So he survived as an indentured servant.He 
didn't want to get conscripted into whatever army was controlling the 
Rhineland of Germany at that time.  (Bavaria? or maybe that was 
later?)   The other side left the Rhineland (controlled by Bavaria) 
because they were caught between the Protestant army and the Archbishop 
of Worms army.  Apparently some family members were caught by the 
Archie's guys and burned at the stake.  When they got to the US of A 
about 185 years ago, they didn't have much appetite to join up either.  
My dad was deemed too important to the war effort to be drafted.


American family is not available on the Gulf coast, and I am not sure 
how far they range.  I think they are pretty much limited to the upper

We have Arbella for auto, just got our bill for this year, $1400 for the Golf 
and Jetta with liability and the Dodge has comprehensive or whatever is 
required because of the loan. Its still worth probably $15k so its worth 
keeping more insurance on, for a $1500 car no way. Angie has 1 point off her

What company/companies do you all use for car insurance and are you happy with 
them?  Do you have the same company for Home and Auto?

I feel like I pay WAY too much for insurance between car and house.  But, I 
know part of my problem is living in Kansas and having to deal with hail claims

Another issue about homeowners insurance bugs the crap out of me.  My insurance

That is okay except the reconstruction cost is more than double the market

Thats interesting, I want to put a metal roof on our house, I read that you get 
80% of the price of the house back when you sell but I'd forgotten that there 
can be insurance implications. I'd read that fire insurance goes down with a 
metal roof too.

We have State Farm for both, and have had since 1978. The few claims I've
had have been handled well and quickly, with one exception. I was stopped
at a red light and was rear-ended. Even though the other driver's insurance
paid to repair my car (1974 Saab Sonnett), State Farm raised my premium for
a year or two. We almost switched them, but lethargy overcame the outrage.

The steel roof on our house did reduce the house premium by 10 - 15% (we
also live in hail country). They've paid for roofs three times and covered
a rusted out 1970 220D for hail damage at more than the car was worth. I've
only had that one complaint, otherwise we are happy customers. YMMV

Re: [MBZ] OT: insurance

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

USAA, for everything, including a term life policy.  I also think our home 
owners rate is high, but we live in hurricane country.  Their customer service 
is excellent, and I've got no worries about their long-term viability.

We've had several auto claims, I collected a rash of speeding tickets a few 
years ago, but I've never shopped around to see if we'd get a better deal 
elsewhere.  Ignorance is bliss?  I did shop around for the term life, and USAA 
was far and away the best deal.

I know that ten or so years ago, folks around here suffered a huge premium jump 
for home owners due to Katrina and Florida, some even lost coverage entirely 
and had to move to another insco with a big jump in cost, but my increase was 
very modest.  I've also got lots of flexibility picking my deductible, I think 
the maximum is $10k.

Re: [MBZ] OT: insurance

[OK Don via Mercedes]

We have State Farm for both, and have had since 1978. The few claims I've
had have been handled well and quickly, with one exception. I was stopped
at a red light and was rear-ended. Even though the other driver's insurance
paid to repair my car (1974 Saab Sonnett), State Farm raised my premium for
a year or two. We almost switched them, but lethargy overcame the outrage.

The steel roof on our house did reduce the house premium by 10 - 15% (we
also live in hail country). They've paid for roofs three times and covered
a rusted out 1970 220D for hail damage at more than the car was worth. I've
only had that one complaint, otherwise we are happy customers. YMMV

[MBZ] OT: insurance

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

Curley and I were having a discussion about certain insurance companies and it 
got me thinking.

What company/companies do you all use for car insurance and are you happy with 
them?   Do you have the same company for Home and Auto?

I feel like I pay WAY too much for insurance between car and house.   But, I 
know part of my problem is living in Kansas and having to deal with hail claims 
(mostly on the house).

Another issue about homeowners insurance bugs the crap out of me.  My insurance 
company (Farmer's) requires me to insure my house for the reconstruction cost.  
That is okay except the reconstruction cost is more than double the market 
value.   I know market value is not the same and if I had some huge claim, I 
would want them to spend as much as it took to repair it. But,  the difference 
between the two is huge!

Re: [MBZ] USAF shortages

I read that the airlines are stealing pilots from the AF with higher pay
and fewer bullets to dodge. Don't know about the mechanics, though Tinker
AFB is hiring as many as the local A school can churn out. They have the
capability at Tinker to build from scratch almost any part they need, so I
think they are in-sourcing parts as well as maintenance.

[MBZ] Ironhead fuel transfer pump rebuild

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I just got through rebuilding a fuel transfer pump for a 240D.  There 
are a couple of tricks, but it is not too difficult.  the IN side valve 
looked chewed up on the sealing surface.  That would probably do it.


If anyone wants me to rebuild one, I can do it for $45, including the 
return shipping.


I am waiting for the new primer pump.  that adds about $20 to the cost, 
and it takes longer for the primer pump to get here.

I do not think I would want to ride in that car or meet it on the road 
unless a very experienced welder attends to the repairs - and probably 
an experienced bodywork man on the side to consult.
That is a serious structural issue and not something that should be 
taken lightly so far as I am concerned. You folks have much more of a 
litigious society over the border and I would wonder about liability 
issues if it was patched up by someone who was not competent and it self

Also, given that rather bad issue, how is the rest of the car? Is the

Insurance told me Friday my CLK is totaled. Duh. While talking with the claims 
dude, a guy who said he's been doing this for 25 years, he told me that in that 
length of time he has seen 57 instances of where a Mercedes has clearly saved 
someone's life.
Another data point.
On the other hand, the insurance company was very generous and gave me about 
$3,000 more than I thought I would get for it. They noticed that the tires were 
nearly brand-new. They asked me which type of service I most recently had done 
and when did I have it done. It was very refreshing to deal with people that do 
their job well. Well done State Farm, well done

Re: [MBZ] Fubar 124?

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

Not worth it?   Does it have other running problems?   A 95 E300 diesel with 
the other issues repaired and its time for salvage?  It seems like it would be 
worth it to fix this with all the other issues fixed.  Is it a turd otherwise?  
I like the 124 diesels!

Re: [MBZ] USAF shortages

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I useta wonder if the chinee homeland would be renamed waltonland or if 
we'd be overrun by the chinee.   Turns out the waltons were not 
agressive enough, and that option is OUT.  Now, between Vland and 
chinee, I'd rather deal with chinee.   But the real choice is if we will 
be shree ya or make a deal with the chinee.   In that case, I will 
choose the chinee option.  Vlad won't come here.  He has his own 
problems with shree ya.


Your vote matters.  A vote for the wicked B witch is a vote for shree 
ya.  She wants to import more and more of em.   H=>road to hell

Re: [MBZ] A price comparison

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Installation of a K filter in the 140 takes that car out of the running.
If the owner is so dumb that he thinks that is a selling point, there's no
telling what other stupidity he's inflicted on it.  Diesel Secret Energy?
WVO "free fuel"?  On the other hand, you could use that against him and
beat him down on the price?

USAF is short over 700 fighter pilots and 4000 mechanics.


Dunno what percentage that is, but it seems like big numbers.

If it is winders based, maybe it needs a restart?
If it is linux based, a restart may still help.

Good to see ya, Dan!

The Okieserver has been acting weird for the last few days. I believe 
Kaleb needs to give it another smack on the side of the case.

Re: [MBZ] OT Should I trust my government?

Not any more.

Used to be we could.  Things have changed. Now the vast majority are 
crooks, like the CCF.


Sounds like MA is catching up to the state of Corruption, IL, except IL 
still has the toll takers.  They still believe in buying votes, along 
with the voting dead.
