The film is noted for the memorable music scene near the beginning that sets the tone for what lies ahead: a trip into unknown and potentially dangerous territory.

Re: [MBZ] 240D won't start-- Vacuum??
Pull-start it. See the owner's manual for the how-to-do. Works great and the car seems to shake off the cobwebs. On 4/22/07, AJ RN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay.. I rolled my '81 240D off the ramps yesterday, after changing the rear diff fluid (boy-- I bet THAT stuff was there since the Reagan Administration!).. It stalled when it came off the ramps, and refuses to restart.. IN THE LAST WEEK-- I replaced the passenger rear window (as some vandal put a rock thru it!). Also last week, I changed the transmission fluid (including draining the TC) and put up a new filter.. I also put up a new starter-- because the old one wasn't always engaging.. (New one works fine, and I had it bench tested at Autozone BEFORE I put it up) Anyway-- The car has historically HAD a vac leak-- to shut it off, you turned the key, and locked the driver's door, and it would stumble out.. The central locks 'sorta' worked, but not meaningfully-- it would take probably a minute of driving, and not all of the cylinders would suck down on any given day.. It seemed to VARY from day to day which one wouldn't work-- and it apparently quickly lost 'reserve' as I don't think I ever successfully locked all the doors from the key (ignition off). Okay... What I know is that I have a car with a known vacuum issue, that realistically had that system manipulated and now it won't start.. ..Everything appears connected, so I don't see an easy fix. As I look under the hood, I see one 'main' vac line-- going straight to the brake booster. There are two tees off of that. One goes to the firewall, where it branches three times, with the middle branch having what appears to be a check valve, then branching twice, before entering the firewall. All 5 of those 'branches' appear color coded-- which will hopefully aid what I'm going to ask.. Two appear yellow (the last branches, with the check valve) there's a brown and blue one, a black one (that go to the IP) etc.. The second one goes 'on top' of the valve cover to what appears to be some sort of valve. It has one branch capped off, and a tee with what appears to be another check valve on one branch.. These lead to black and black and brown striped leads that, again, go to the IP. What I'm hoping to do-- is isolate out the central locking 'branch' or branches-- to see if I can't get the car started.. Oh-- since it wasn't starting, and I'd planned on replacing both fuel filters-- that is done, I filled both with ATF, as I'd previously heard that it's a good clean and lube for the IP.. I tried cracking the injectors, to reprime those-- and found little if any fuel coming out-- leading me to believe the IP isn't getting sufficient vaccuum to 'spray..' I looked under the hood of my '84 300SD.. UH-- the engine looks sort of familiar, but the vac system is wholly different, with exception of 4 vac lines leading into the IP.. (So that wasn't a help!!) SO-- anyone who can direct me to a color code, or tell me which goes to what would be doing me an incredible service.. I considered hooking a vac gauge to one of the tees, while I cranked, to make sure the vac pump itself hadn't failed.. In my VW diesels-- vac pump failure meant brake effort worthy of stopping a downhill speeding overloaded truck.. The breaking in the 240D has NEVER shown that, previously.. The vac pump looks to be a lot harder to get out, on this engine, than the VW (one bolt on the top of the motor!) so I'm really hoping that's not the case.. Okay-- I'll shut up now!

Re: [MBZ] OT: 12v lighting
More importantly, WHERE in Maine. I've probably been there. On 4/8/07, Curt Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's one of those ideas I might be shy to float in person... We've got a little camp in Maine, totally backwoods, woodstove, gas lights, you get the idea. On the last couple trips I've been frustrated with trying to read by flashlight in my bunk. The bunk is arranged such that the gas lights are of no use and I can't put a gas light up there because I'd either wack it or catch the roof on fire. I hate flashlights mostly because of the directional nature of the beam and replacing the battery. So I'm thinking to get a 12v LED reading light bulb(2watt), a 12v garden tractor battery and use a 5 watt solar panel I already have to make myself a reading light. I found a site that has the bulb for a somewhat reasonable price (considering it should last a long time) and even in a kit with a fixture. The fixture seems to just be a conventional light fixture with a cigar lighter type plug for which they want $40. So the question: could I take a conventional light fixture and run 12v through it as long as I'm using a 12v bulb? To head off questions, 12v because the inverter would waste alot of power and make noise. LED because CF bulbs wouldn't work well in the cold and yes sometimes I am up reading but too lazy to stoke the fire. I intend to leave the 2 prong connector on the lamp so extension cords will be easier. With a 5w panel I don't think I'll need a charge controller and a 10ah (or whatever they are) garden tractor battery should run my light for a long time. Assuming it works well and my folks want lights like it I'd step up to maybe a 20w panel and charge controller. -Curt - Bored stiff? Loosen up...

Re: [MBZ] OkieQ Dates
I have a small garden plot, maybe 10' x 20' max. But that is the place we burn leaves each fall and the soil is really rich with ash. I know from experience that tomatoes love the alkaline soil that ash offers. I have to throw away several every year when they get too big for their own skins and actually burst on the vine, trying to grow. One problem (like it really IS a problem) is that almost everyone has a garden in our town, and at harvest time folks are actively looking for someone who will take a box of cucumbers off of their hands. As God is my witness, folks will pull up to our office with a PICKUP TRUCK LOAD of sweet corn, hoping they can unload it on our mentally retarded group home folks. And we always say yes, thank you, and we use it.

We are talking about gathering in my back yard (west-central Iowa) at harvest time to eat, swat lies, partake of beverages, and relax. Was a date of early June 24 hours ago but we are leaning toward late July or early August. Check MapQuest for Jefferson, Iowa. On 3/29/07, Peter Frederick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I missed the beginning of this conversation, so forgive me it I repeat something. Tomatoes love sun, but require regular moisture. Non commercial varieties are vastly preferable for home growing -- I grow Better Boys (a VFN resistant version of the old Burpee Big Boy) and some Roma variety (also VFN, as I have wilt problems). With good rainfall, I am over-run with tomatoes even in poor years. Oh, and I do grow some Lemon Boys since I prefer them for fresh eating. Commercial varieties are breed to remain rock hard so they won't bruise, and they also do not ripen on the plant, they are picked slightly pink and gassed with ethylene on the way to the market to turn them sort of red. Taste like what they are -- cellulose and green tomato juice. I think cotton balls taste better myself, or that gauze packing the dentist uses when doing major work. If you have fresh ground and are not bothered by verticillium or fusarium wilts and don't have nematode problems, you can grow some of the heirloom types and get wonderful tomatoes. Most aren't particularly resistant, though.

I have a good friend. Sort of a Harley guy -- about my age (early 50s), beard pony tail, has a Harley ElectraGlide AND a Buell. He is the supervisor of the gov't thing that runs our local transit buses. Like many biker-types, he is a genuinely nice, gentle guy, very intelligent, well employed, and anything but a RUB. (Ask if you don't know what a RUB is.) I would have no problem letting him babysit my grandchildren for a weekend, for a week, for a year. He is gentle and soft-spoken. He brought me some digital camera shots (still on the camera) yesterday of his recently finished garage. I think it is a one-car but it looks like a six-car. Alternating black and white floor tiles. Motorcycle lift. Bar. Stocked bar. Tools. Recliner. Furnace (remember, this is Iowa). Television (with satellite dish). In one corner, two motorcycles. No car, no wife-storage-unit crap like my garage. He refers to it as his Wife Avoidance Unit. But ... just in case you think this is Mr. Macho, guess again.
