Re: [MBZ] ChowdaQ

[Frederick Moir via Mercedes]

Alles.
Tom (my wife's ex and a good guy) had many leftover airmiles and sent me a
ticket so that we could attend RustyQ 2004.
That was where we met a diverse bunch of MB fanatics. Some of whom were
surprised to find that MA has a few republicans.
There was craft beer in abundance and great food for all. Good time. I
still have the soft beer can holder with "Rusty-Q 2004" on it.
Wow, am I old.

AFAIK the ChowdaQ is the longest running of the MBZ Qs. We've been going since, 
I think, 2008. We did skip 2020 but made up for it with SpringQ 2021.

At SpringQ I made a pie on the Coleman stove. I might do a cake this year.

Re: [MBZ] OT Welder

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

https://kickinghorsewelders.com/products/kickinghorse-a100-arc-welder

I bought a Kicking Horse 110v stick welder a few years ago to use on my little 
loader project. I wanted something that could accomplish a little more 
penetration than my Lincoln HandyMIG could get. I've been very impressed with 
it. Previously I'd used some no-name Chinese AC welder my dad got at a tool 
show and was terribly unimpressed. This thing starts arcs easily and lays down 
nice weld. 

I've got the equivalent Harbor Freight welder which is actually a little less 
powerful:

Notice that it's actually more expensive...
I bought that one when the tractor seat broke on me back in 2020 and I couldn't 
get it repaired on a Saturday afternoon. Frankly I was STUNNED by the quality 
of weld I managed to pull of with that thing. That repair is actually some of 
the best looking welding I've ever done. It was quite fiddly too, a fairly 
small chunk of the seat base failed at the pivot point which left the seat 
flopping around potentially dropping me off the back...

Anybody wanting to learn stick welding or to just weld at home would do well 
with the Kicking Horse.

I think I paid about $300 for my HandyMig, its about $350 now. It's paid for 
itself many times over...

If you want a cheaper chinky chow welder then maybe Everlast is your best bet. 
They have made a name for themselves and seem to be well regarded.

Re: [MBZ] ChowdaQ

Since I’m retiring in four days, I am, as the kids say, so down for any Q. 
Okie, Chowda, both…
Guess I better buy something to drive to one.  That fella’s E300D is looking

Re: [MBZ] ChowdaQ

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

There is no comparison, and I mean that in the nicest way.

RustyQ's were adult-only for the most part and usually ended up in an evening 
that was a disappointment unless the local gendarmes were involved. The "Q" 
part was during the day and did include family members and spouses 
occasionally, but as the day wore on into the evening they could get pretty out 
of hand, no doubt due to the liberal consumption of adult beverages, usually at 
Rusty's house. At least the early ones were like that. I only attended the 
first few.

The ChowdahQ I attended was far more low-key but much more inclusive, too.

It's really not fair to compare, they cater to different audiences and were/are 
fun events, regardless.

Re: [MBZ] FB Rant

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

In my experience they take anything that isn't obviously unusable. Nice thing 
is that if it ends up sitting around too long without anyone wanting it, they 
will take care of disposing of it.

The other thing you can do is take it to the local scrap yard, they will 
probably take it as "tin" and pay you a few bucks based on weight. I get rid of 
my non-working appliances that way. Having a pickup truck (or an open trailer) 
makes it easier.

Re: [MBZ] FB Rant

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Yeah, the one here does quite the business. I'm not sure if it's something they 
would want - the biggest problem for me would be getting it loaded in the ML. 
These things are beasts, there's no way I could lift it.

I had two really nice ceiling fans I took down; one was really cool with a 
Southwest motif and the other one was practically brand new with a remote and 
light kit, too. Couldn't give them away on CL or FB, so I dropped them off at 
H4H. They were excited as heck.

I may stop by there on the way home from work and ask them. Thanks for the 
suggestion!

I have one of those old Kenmore under counter trash compactors at the Flagstaff 
house. It works, but I have no use for it and would prefer to recover the

So this morning I list it on several local FB "For Sale" groups for free. I've

if they give me a time I'll give them the exact address. Most want my phone 
number, which I don't give out for stuff like this.

Then they ghost me.

I think that when I refuse to give a phone number, I'll start telling them that 
I work with victims of domestic abuse so I don't give out my phone number. I 
don't see why that's so off-putting. Tell me when you can come and I'll tell

Re: [MBZ] Security cameras

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I'm all for wired systems when possible, but in my case that wasn't an option 
at the Flagstaff house. Not to sound like a commercial, but one of the things 
that appealed to me about the Eufy cameras is that they either have built in 
(local) storage that you control, or they take SD cards of just about any size. 
They do offer cloud storage, but it's not required to use their devices as you 
can store everything locally if you wish, as I do. That and the stored images 
or video are cached in the mobile device app as well.

I would love to have gone with POE cameras at the Florida house, but I already 
have enterprise grade HP ethernet switches and I didn't want to replace them. I 
could probably have gone with a power injector, but that would just have made 
things more complex and decreased reliability, so I went with a conventional 
DVR setup using coax and wired cameras.

For anyone considering security cameras, avoid the battery operated ones like 
the plague. My experience with them found that there would often be a delay 
between the time they would "wake up" when there was motion, meaning that a 
fair amount of the activity that triggered the camera to begin with had already 
taken place and was not recorded. Not to mention the hassle of either 
recharging or replacing batteries.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Security cameras

I started a wordy reply and realized you would be better served by an existing 
web site (if you can stand the owner, fenderman, who can be off-putting):  
https://ipcamtalk.com/.  Best to start on the wikki page:  
https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/

Up front, you need to decide if you want a cloud-based system or one where you 
control the data on a local PC or NVR.  Some of the cloud stuff is very cheap 
because you only buy the cameras and some of those are very low cost but still 
have usable imagery.  But locating recorded imagery on some cloud systems is 
almost unusable.
NVRs start around $100 (without hard drive) and up, basically same ballpark as 
bargain PCs these days.  Some NVRs have POE ports to power cameras (over 
ethernet) directly from the NVR.  Alternatively, you can use a software system, 
like Blue Iris, on a PC with a switch to connect the cameras and router.
I recommend hard-wired cameras (vs Wi-Fi) whenever practical.
Nearly all cameras work pretty well in daylight but night (IR) imagery is 
another matter, especially if there is movement.  Cheap cameras need long 
exposure times at night so movement becomes a blur.
Equipment from Reolink is cheap but I find night performance poor and autofocus 
on my older zoom cam was unusable.  Zoom is only useful for framing the image; 
if a fixed focal length can will do the job you don't need zoom.
Get turret-style cameras if possible.  Avoid dome cameras; the camera sees 
backscatter from the IR illuminator at night.  When the dome gets dirty this is 
really bad.
I have been generally pleased with hardware from Dahua and there are OEM brands 
that use Dahua hardware with OEM software (like Amcrest and others).  Look for 
US or international versions of equipment; i.e., avoid hacked Chinese domestic 
models that have patched software.
For your situation a cloud-based system may be best (low initial cost and low 
power usage) if the online search/replay works well.  I can't advise there.
Many cameras are relatively smart and use a SD card to save (limited) video.  
You can access that camera's video remotely but this becomes cumbersome if you 
have more than a very few cameras.  I don't have personal experience with this.
The NVR approach records video as long as you have power.  NVRs typically use 
much less power than computers.  NVRs with POE ports provide a self-contained 
setup:  all cams plug into the NVR and the NVR plugs into the router.  Some NVR 
software is more user-friendly that others.
Personally, I have about 12 cameras (mostly) powered by a POE switch and a 
dedicated PC running Blue Iris.  In most regards this is overkill; there are 
many features I never learned to use.
I have an Amcrest NVR (not POE) running Dahua software and that works well but 
it is not my primary system.  My original plan was to hide this box somewhere 
to ensure a secure copy of recent imagery.
Also have a Reolink 8-channel POE NVR that is marginal, IMO.  The local 
monitor/mouse interface works fine but remote access is buggy and the remote 
application must be restarted often.
Like many things, the answer depends, mostly on what you expect and how you 
plan to use it.

Re: [MBZ] GL fuel tank capacity

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

My kids did that constantly. So annoying to go out to the car, needing to get 
somewhere, and find the "low fuel" light on. Worse because the closest fuel 
station is also one of the most expensive in the area.

The usual justifcation was "well the computer says 20 miles until empty" so 
there was enough gas to get back to the station. I told them when they were 
stranded with a burned-out fuel pump they were on the hook for the towing and 
the repairs. Fortunately (?) it never happened.

Re: [MBZ] Security cameras

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

I started a wordy reply and realized you would be better served by an existing 
web site (if you can stand the owner, fenderman, who can be off-putting):  
https://ipcamtalk.com/.  Best to start on the wikki page:  
https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/

Up front, you need to decide if you want a cloud-based system or one where you 
control the data on a local PC or NVR.  Some of the cloud stuff is very cheap 
because you only buy the cameras and some of those are very low cost but still 
have usable imagery.  But locating recorded imagery on some cloud systems is 
almost unusable.
NVRs start around $100 (without hard drive) and up, basically same ballpark as 
bargain PCs these days.  Some NVRs have POE ports to power cameras (over 
ethernet) directly from the NVR.  Alternatively, you can use a software system, 
like Blue Iris, on a PC with a switch to connect the cameras and router.
I recommend hard-wired cameras (vs Wi-Fi) whenever practical.  
Nearly all cameras work pretty well in daylight but night (IR) imagery is 
another matter, especially if there is movement.  Cheap cameras need long 
exposure times at night so movement becomes a blur.
Equipment from Reolink is cheap but I find night performance poor and autofocus 
on my older zoom cam was unusable.  Zoom is only useful for framing the image; 
if a fixed focal length can will do the job you don't need zoom.  
Get turret-style cameras if possible.  Avoid dome cameras; the camera sees 
backscatter from the IR illuminator at night.  When the dome gets dirty this is 
really bad.
I have been generally pleased with hardware from Dahua and there are OEM brands 
that use Dahua hardware with OEM software (like Amcrest and others).  Look for 
US or international versions of equipment; i.e., avoid hacked Chinese domestic 
models that have patched software.
For your situation a cloud-based system may be best (low initial cost and low 
power usage) if the online search/replay works well.  I can't advise there.
Many cameras are relatively smart and use a SD card to save (limited) video.  
You can access that camera's video remotely but this becomes cumbersome if you 
have more than a very few cameras.  I don't have personal experience with this.
The NVR approach records video as long as you have power.  NVRs typically use 
much less power than computers.  NVRs with POE ports provide a self-contained 
setup:  all cams plug into the NVR and the NVR plugs into the router.  Some NVR 
software is more user-friendly that others.
Personally, I have about 12 cameras (mostly) powered by a POE switch and a 
dedicated PC running Blue Iris.  In most regards this is overkill; there are 
many features I never learned to use.  
I have an Amcrest NVR (not POE) running Dahua software and that works well but 
it is not my primary system.  My original plan was to hide this box somewhere 
to ensure a secure copy of recent imagery.
Also have a Reolink 8-channel POE NVR that is marginal, IMO.  The local 
monitor/mouse interface works fine but remote access is buggy and the remote 
application must be restarted often.
Like many things, the answer depends, mostly on what you expect and how you 
plan to use it.

Subject: [MBZ] Security cameras

I know we have talked about this before but does anyone have any 
recommendations for a dvr security camera system? I have been needing to get 
something and want one that I can monitor remotely. We were out of town for 10 
days and got back we had about 10” of snow.  Came home and had a bunch of 
footprints out around the cars, barn etc. Looked like people footprints at 
first but might be some sort of animal. If human, wind blowing might have made 
them look less human. Pics attached. Anyway would like something that can be 
used to keep track of things while I’m gone.

If you want a cheaper chinky chow welder then maybe Everlast is your best bet.

Re: [MBZ] OT Welder

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

From what I have heard/read, the low cost MIG welders all work fine in as much 
as they are just big transformers. Where they cheap out is in the quality of 
the wire feed mechanism, the gun/torch and cables.

By the time you buy a cheap welder, then upgrade the gun, the gas hose, the 
ground clamp, the wire feed, and put a usefully-long power cord on it, you need 
to compare those costs and the extra time to what a Miller or Lincoln machine 
would have cost.

I'm not familiar with the Yes welder specifically.

thought it would be clever to use standard electrical extension cords as 
speaker wire, so I fitted standard 3-prong 120VAC connectors on the speaker 
cabinets. Very easy to unplug and move around as needed. Of course nobody would 
*ever* be stupid enough to plug one into a wall outlet... If I had been even 
more clever I would have used the neutral and ground legs.

Is it odd that the speedometer was not converted to MPH but the headlights are 
DOT?

[MBZ] Can’t Send Title

I wonder if this would be worth doing one of those Vermont title things for. 
The owner says there’s no fees with California DMV, we would do a Titleist 
transfer. That sounds sketchy to me.

[MBZ] GL fuel tank capacity

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Wife tends to drive home and it not occur to her to stop at sams while in town 
to get cheap fuel. Diesel in our podunk town tends to be a lot more expensive. 
Anyway had to pickup the kid and low fuel light was on. Drove the 30 miles and 
filed up. Pic attached. I think we might have been running on fumes. Prices 
seem to have gone up quite a bit in the last week. What the heck is the deal 
with that?

Re: [MBZ] OT Welder

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

I hope you have good luck with it.

I stuck with name brand welders. I cannot claim to be a proficient 
welder but the whole process interests me. I have a Lincoln 220V  180A 
Mig and a Lincoln 225A AC/DC 125A  stick welder. I had a Lincoln 225A AC 
welder for a while and upgraded to the one with DC as well. The AC stick 
welder worked well for sticking heavier steel together. I initially 
bought it to repair/rebuild a boat trailer and it worked well. Must be 
more than 15 years since my son and I did the boat trailer and nothing 
has come apart. We were both novices and enjoyed doing it. We had 2 
helmets so we could watch each other weld too.


The other logical choice is the Miller brand.

I also bought a 220V spot welder last year but have yet to use it. I 
have acquired some further bits from Banggood to control the spot 
welder. A fellow I know is rebuilding an old Porsche body from the early 
60s using a spot welder. He says that is how they were built at the 
factory so he sees no reason not to do the same.


I see lots of offshore stuff offered these days and wonder about 
quality. I did hold my nose and buy a Chinese made plasma cutter just 
after Christmas but have not used it at all. Too cold here to work 
outside so will have to wait for spring. I bought the plasma cutter from 
a Canadian company that has a good reputation for standing behind the 
stuff they sell so if it does not perform, I should be OK. I really need 
to upgrade the amount of electrical power into my garage so that I can 
use these things to their full potential.

[MBZ] OT Welder

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Being in my first few weeks of stick welding class and really enjoying 
it (and getting sorta half decent with my weld quality after burning a 
lot of sticks) I was thinking about a machine.  I have been seeing these 
Yeswelder products, and it looked like a coupla chinese guys were 
bringing one to the shop to be tested out a coupla weeks ago.  (I 
haveyetnot seen it running but will ask around).  My instructor 
mentioned he had put some money toward their kickstarter some time ago 
and ended up buying 2 machines ~$500 each based on that.  I'm not sure 
which machines he got, but I saw this multi-process machine with a 30% 
discount bringing it to $335.72 shipped.


https://yeswelder.com/products/mig-welder-mig205

Some review vids suggest it is a decent little machine for the money.  I 
figure for that it would be hard to go wrong for $336 so I ordered one.  
Looking forward to getting it and trying it out.  I'll start with stick 
then as I learn I will try the other modes.  I got a cutoff tool and a 
welder coming!  Dangerous man!
