[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Just watched an ABC interview with the mayor of Tampa. Seems like Dan's town 
has it's stuff together, and is well prepared for this storm.

Re: [MBZ] How is Hurricane Irma Now?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Category 1 by the time the eye passes us later tonight.  From a neighborhood 
weather station about a block away, we’re seeing gusts to about 40 mph.  More 
to come as the night goes on, but it’s weakened considerably, thank goodness.  
We still have power, but that could change at any moment as well.

[MBZ] How is Hurricane Irma Now?

[Craig via Mercedes]

Dan,

The radar plots show Irma as going north to the east of you now,
though the Weather Bureau at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/#Irma comments,

   ..900 PM EDT POSITION UPDATE... ...IRMA EXPECTED TO TURN TOWARD THE
   NORTH-NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT... 
9:00 PM EDT Sun Sep 10
Location: 27.1°N 81.8°W
Moving: N at 14 mph
Min pressure: 942 mb
Max sustained: 105 mph

The winds have slowed down, though 105 mph with a lot of water in the air,
I'm sure, isn't pleasant.

You I think that with the Canadian dollar at only US$.82 they would be 18%

Re: [MBZ] Irma & coriolis

[WILTON via Mercedes]

Since it closed as USAF Sondrestrom Air Base in Sep '92,  the Greenlanders 
have promoted it heavily as an all-season resort - hiking, camping, fishing, 
hunting, boating, cross-country skiing, exploring ice cap and glaciers, 
snowmobiling, dog sledding, etc.  'Seem to be doing quite well at it, too. 
You should go; fantastically beautiful summers; many interesting and 
beautiful sights year-round.


Suburban amenities?  Well, I certainly never thought of it quite like that, 
but it does seem to have plenty of hotel space now (former military 
barracks/dorms); hot and cold running water; coupla restaurants; adequate 
transportation ("school" buses throughout the "village"/air field), busses 
for transport to edge of ice cap/glaciers, etc.

That's interesting, Wilton. If you interrupt the coriolis severely enough it 
will stop and then re-form a variable time later, won't it?
That makes me wonder if you exploded a number of those huge bombs the AF now 
has in the walls of a hurricane coriolis; say from a flight of the planes 
you flew; if that would break up the hurricane? It would be an interesting 
experiment anyway unless it's already been tried.


Gerry


Yes, by by swirling my hand around the hole in clockwise direction,  I was 
able to overcome the counterclockwise rotation caused by the Coriolis effect 
and make the pool rotate clockwise temporarily.  Each time, after I stopped 
swirling by hand, the rotation would slowly stop (not abruptly) and return 
to its natural, counterclockwise state.


As for nukedet in a hurricane, I think its hot, rising column of hot air 
would create localized tornadic-like action soon (well,  eventually, anyway) 
to be overcome by the much larger system as long as it has an energy source 
such as a large, warm body of water beneath it.

The E300D is his, not mine to sell.

I guess he likes it.  He was stuck in Ohio this weekend waiting for another 
driver that’s coming tomorrow.  Bored out of his mind.  Otherwise, I have no 
idea - he doesn’t complain about it, so I guess he likes it.

Crappy way to make a living, IMHO.  However, some people like being on the road

Note that he is talking about evacuation zones.  That’s low-lying areas, which 
is most of the downtown and surrounding areas.  We’re not in an evacuation 
zone.  In fact, our property is on the fringes of Zone 5, which if activated, 
would mean there would be storm surges of over 30+ feet expected.  The house is 
at about 38 feet above MSL.

Right now storm surge is expected to be less than 10-12 feet, if that.

Re: [MBZ] Irma

[OK Don via Mercedes]

We were at a seminar on weather, focused slightly on aviation, at the
National Weather Center Friday. They showed us at least a dozen different
models of what Irma would do, and the output of the models run at different
times. The Canadian model was the only one that showed Irma running up the
West side of FL.

They were telling us that the polar winds and air masses over the Northern
Pacific were driving the path of Irma - and with the scarcity of good data
from those regions, predicting the path was difficult, though getting
better as they refine the models after comparing the predictions with what
actually happens after every event.

It was very interesting, and we actually learned some things.
FYI - there no talk about global warming or climate change, just that the
ocean is warmer then usual now, which makes for larger, meaner storms.

According to the word-mongers: "The Tampa area has not taken a direct hit
from a major hurricane in nearly a century.

"You need to leave -- not tonight, not in an hour, right now," Gov. Rick
Scott warned residents in the evacuation zones ahead of the storm's
predicted arrival on Sunday morning."

Re: [MBZ] Poos prep

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

That would be one way to approach it.  In my case I prefer to protect the cars 
of value.

The eldest hasn’t been home in a month and probably won’t be for some time, as 
he’s now a team driver for an over the road trucking firm (Prime?) We hear from 
him occasionally when he’s swapping loads but otherwise he’s pretty much out of 
the picture.  I’m not sure why he even insures the car, to be honest.  I would 
like for it to be gone as it’s taking up space.  You would think he could park 
it at their terminal, but the one he works out of is in Alabama, I think.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Generator Heads

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

A rule of thumb is to divide the engine HP by 1.5 to get the generator kW.  At 
1800 RPM you would be good for about 9kW based on the 14 bhp rating on the spec 
sheet I looked at.

Looks like a 10kW Marathon “MagnaPlus” would do the trick:

http://www.marathonelectric.com/MGPS/details.jsp?item=281CSL1513&voltage=240/120//120&hertz=60&phase=Dedicated%201&brand=MagnaPlus&type=Standard

However, I’m sure you can find an imported generator of similar size for less.  
As long as the alternator is set up with the same SAE flywheel adapter and 
drive disk it will work.

Re: [MBZ] More Tampa

I rode my bike over to the beach this morning to check out the action, 
tide is up but not a lot of churning at this point.  Went back over just 
a little while ago at high tide to see what was going on, it is probably 
about 2ft higher than usual, though today and tomorrow are high 
astronomical tides.  Winds tomorrow will be onshore at 44-47 at high 
tide time, so there will likely be more of a surge than now.  Met a 
family there from Tampa who had bailed out and were staying here, Bubba 
had his bass boat behind his bigass truck, so I am comforted that the 
Redneck Navy has arrived!  But got me thinking about everyone else down 
that way and hoping y'all stay safe.


I think we will be OK, certainly better than the models were suggesting 
3 days ago when they were showing landfall basically right over my vast 
estate.  We'll get some wind and rain and a bit of flooding but we 
should be fine.  I did board up the house and garage, so that was a 
chore, and have a few things to move around and tie down.  Power company 
is not going to shut power off like last October, so unless a limb or 
tree takes down my wires I will have lights and refrigeration.  
Generator is waiting though, so ready for any eventuality.

Re: [MBZ] Poos prep

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The SL500 and E320 are in the garage.  The E320 is our bug out car in the event 
of severe damage and is currently loaded with a full tank of fuel, bug out bags 
and a secure locker with all of our important papers.  The 350SDL is pulled up 
nose in to the garage door in front of the SL500.  Behind that is MIL’s Buick 
Regal, pointed at the street and ready as a secondary bug out car if needed.  
Eldest son’s E300D is in the parking pad to the side of the garage, and is the 
most exposed.  That’s mainly because he has no comprehensive insurance, so if 
it gets hammered it’s toast.

The next rain band is about 30 minutes out, with the bulk of the storm expected 
to hit around midnight.  Kitty is freaking out, as she can’t see out of any of 
the windows.  She is very confused.

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

am assuming you don't have room in the garage for all of them.

[MBZ] Q and Paatz

[Fred Moir via Mercedes]

Alles.

The Mighty Tenth Q went off without a hitch!

A good time was had by all !

If you want to know how good, come next year, ya-shouldda-been-here. (Though 
Irma provides a good excuse. be safe.)

Thanks are due mostly to the sterling efforts of Dwight, Karen, Curt and Angie, 
with a minor chorus of supporters.


Paatz.

For the Westy.

   1. Oil service wrench. Snap-on S5902 17x21 mm.

   2. Valve adjusting 13 mm wrench. Cornwell  X2304 13 mm.

Address needed.


For the W124 300D.

  1.  Grill. it is worn but un-rusty and whole, needs a good polishing perhaps?
  2.  Right front fender. car-part.com has many RF fenders of the correct sort, 
condition unknown. Some with good pictures.

For the grill, address needed.

Rancho Cordva CA is near Sacramento and has some (in pictures) nice RF fenders. 
This may be too far for Curt to forage.
HTH.
Fred.


Fred Moir.
Lynn MA.
Diesel preferred.
