List  Cc: Dan Penoff  Subject: [MBZ] OT 
- Kitchen Cabinets Yeah, this is wy off topic, but I’m reaching to find 
anyone with some experience in this area…First:I am an accomplished woodworker 
who has built and installed kitchen cabinets of my own design and making in 
both my and other’s homes. These were solid hardwood raised panel cabinets 
built with European hardware of the highest quality. In other words, I have a 
pretty good idea what makes a good cabinet and what makes a fair cabinet.We are 
preparing to replace the kitchen cabinets in the home we recently purchased. 
It’s got the original builder’s quality spec grade cabinets that were put in 
when the home was built in the late 1990s. I’m not making any significant 
changes and will, for the most part, retain the same layout. Other than a few 
changes, like replacing a desk with more cabinets and installing an over the 
oven/range microwave, the new cabinets will be the same dimensionally. This is 
good because they’re all common sizes. I’ll also be having granite countertops 
installed on top of them, but that’s a whole ‘nother job.I do not have the 
resources to build my own. Period. The basement full of woodworking equipment I 
had when living in the GWN is long gone and can’t be replicated. This resigns 
me to consumer grade cabinets, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Here’s what 
I’m finding:RTA cabinets - essentially knocked-down cabinets with the finished 
face frames assembled but the cabinet itself not. These come flat and have to 
be assembled by the installer. The less costly way to go, as you’re providing 
some of the labor and they’re easier and less costly to ship.Preassembled 
cabinets - just what they sound like - the cabinets and face frames are 
assembled and shipped, ready to install. More expensive than RTA, but labor 
saving.There are loads and loads of online retailers selling cabinets, both RTA 
and preassembled. Prices are very similar. Specs are much the same as are 
designs. So the question begs, which way to go (RTA vs. preassembled) and what 
makes one retailer better than the other? I swear these guys must be using all 
the same tooling or manufacturer, as the variations in designs are minimal, if 
that. In other words, everyone has the same products for the most part, from 
what it seems.My expectations are low. I know short of hiring a custom 
cabinetmaker I’m not going to have the quality of cabinets I once made, but I’m 
OK with that. And I don’t want to invest a ton of money in this, either, which 
is another reason for foregoing a custom cabinetmaker.So has anyone out there 
bought cabinets online, if so what type, from whom and are you happy with 
them?Thanks,-D___http://www.okiebenz.comTo

controller in the driveway, but that’s not good enough. Again, I’m the

We were in Ottawa since Boxing Day to visit our elder son and his family. We 
had a Kia Sorento XL as a rental car. Lots of  bells and whistles which mostly 
worked well. AWD which worked well as there was freezing rain and snow. I liked 
the big screen for the backup camera as well as the interface with the 
cellphone for maps to direct us to our destinations. Sent from my Galaxy Tab® A

Subject: [MBZ] 8 hours of my life... … I will never get back.I have yet to 
drive the ‘yota that arrived a few weeks back.  The boy, home for the holidays 
from university has been piloting.  The vehicle seems overly complex with all 
the gimcracks and gee-gaws available.I pulled the owner manuals to see what all 
I could learn about how to operate this car.  The books are surely written by 
lawyers whose native language is not engrish.  Almost all the functions are 
written in quasi-legal CYA phrasing that absolves manufacturer of complicity in 
things going wrong.   The most mindboggling was the triple speak about how use 
of your cell phone would screw up functionality of most of the vehicle.  It 
could break the ignition sequence, door and alarm, window function, radio, 
wipers, cruise control and lighting, steering, and anything else connected to 
the CAN bus.   If the car had all the “safety feature upgrades” those would be 
rendered nonfunctional by just being in the car.  Thankfully the car does not 
have active cruise, lane avoidance, radar evading parking assist, cross traffic 
blind spot lurking, or all the other silliness that seems to be rendered 
inoperative by actually turning the car on.  Most are broken by having  cell 
service, tinted glass, or any solid metal object larger than a rapper’s gold 
necklace.  I think I read a thousand pages of self contradictory verbiage which 
seems to indicate that the only way to make the car survive is to have the 
dealer do any and all work, including refueling, detailing and washing the car, 
operating the in dash entertainment system, and reading the dash display.On 
another note,  my presence has been noted in AK, as the snow is melting away 
from my internal climate changing prestidigitation.  In the past 60 hours I 
have been able to increase the ambient outside temperature by over 17c to a 
balmy, and slushy 279K (really 7c).clay 1974 450sl -  Frosch - Two tone

Re: [MBZ] OT - Fun with Water Heaters

A retired realtor friend says people buy lipstick. If the house is clean and 
they can haul in the couch and flop onto it to watch TV, they are happy and 
will ignore the need for things like a new roof.Sent from my Galaxy Tab® A

- Fun with Water Heaters You’re talking out your butt and you don’t know this 
real estate market.Properties like my house are under contract around here in 
three days on average unless there’s something seriously wrong with the place. 
No one is going to demand a new roof when one was just done less than 18 months 
ago. Nor are they going to expect/demand a new heat pump when the one in the 
house is under two years old. Same with the water heater. That’s crazy talk. 
There are institutional investors in the wings with cash who will also come out 
of the woodwork to grab homes like this to add to their rental portfolio.With 
an average home age of 20 years in this area, if these items haven’t been 
addressed yet it’s huge ding on the value of the home and will seriously affect 
the marketability. With all of them done the house is good for another 20 
years.I don’t know what you’re smoking, but you need to cut it out.-D> On Dec

The "right" way is causing the problems.TC was in the trans.   TC was seated in 
the trans before I carried it to the car.   In fact the tc has not been out of 
the trans since I picked up the trans a couple years ago.  I suppose the TC 
could have slid forward while I was pulling the trans under the car, but I 
don't think so.    If the tc slid forward and the ears or splines are not 
aligned with the trans, that would keep it from sliding forward.I could try 
putting the trans in some gear and try turning the output shaft to see if that 
frees up anything holding up the trans from seating.After the rain, I am gonna 
try to get the fan off so I can get the shroud off so I can get a socket on the 
crank to turn the engine over. FIggered I'd have to do that anyway to bolt the

<126die...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] 722 Trans again What I said was in the 
past, when I did it the "wrong" way, everything slid together slick as snot.    
The "right" way is causing the problems.TC was in the trans.   TC was seated in 
the trans before I carried it to the car.   In fact the tc has not been out of 
the trans since I picked up the trans a couple years ago.  I suppose the TC 
could have slid forward while I was pulling the trans under the car, but I 
don't think so.    If the tc slid forward and the ears or splines are not 
aligned with the trans, that would keep it from sliding forward.I could try 
putting the trans in some gear and try turning the output shaft to see if that 
frees up anything holding up the trans from seating.After the rain, I am gonna 
try to get the fan off so I can get the shroud off so I can get a socket on the 
crank to turn the engine over. FIggered I'd have to do that anyway to bolt the 
tr to the flex plate, unless I got real lucky, and things lined up.  As it 
stands now, I can't turn the tc or the engine.   If I could get the trans 
seated, then I could turn the flywheel.Peter Frederick via Mercedes wrote on

Re: [MBZ] 722 Trans again

I am thinking you are supposed to put the tc on the transmission and push it in 
and turn it to make sure it is fully seated and then hoist the transmission 
into place and then bolt the tc to the flex plate through the opening in the 
bottom of the bell housing turning as necessary to get to all of the

that keep it from sliding forward?When I had the engine out, I did what is

not a good thing either. In fact it might have been in your earlier post. The

I'd spent the week in DC for a class. In the airport coming home I started to 
not feel good. Nearly home I realized I needed the ER. 9 years ago it was just 
angina, this time it's a heart attack. People got very excited.I'm in Worcester 
now with 3 new stents. Stenting is much more painful when you've had a heart 
attack, I don't advise it.
Anyhow I'm still alive, put me on the injured reserve list with Rich and Gerry.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill (Mitch Haley)

[tyee165 via Mercedes]

My carbed version wasn't bad on the highway either. However, as the 
transmission got old it required effort to keep it in overdrive. When it 
dropped into 3rd the rpm rose and the mileage dropped. Also noisy and rougher 
at 3K plus rpm. In 4th around 2K rpm. Had to be very light on the gas pedal or 
it would shift down and proved difficult to get it back into 4th at higher 
speeds.

Re: [MBZ] Series 5 F series Ford pickups -the anti-Prius

[tyee165 via Mercedes]

That vintage will be the twin I beam front suspension. Difficult to align if it 
gets out of whack. Have to tie it down and use a jack to bend the I beam and 
know how much to bend it. The ends of the I beams have something like a 
kingpin. This would be 2 wheel drive. Cannot recall but think the 4 wheel drive 
had some form of independant suspension on the front too. My father had a 2 WD 
new in 68 and kept it a long time. Came with a 352 V8 which he swapped out 
later for a 240 inline 6. He did not like the mileage on the V8. Had a 3 speed 
manual trans with 3 on the tree. Made great mileage with the 6 as it was geared 
for the 8 but lacked power when pulling away from a stop esp if loaded.The box 
rusted out which finished it off.The Chevy of similar vintage may be a better 
truck but if you are tall, I think there is more room in the cab of the Ford. I 
have had a 67 short box Chevy and a 68 long box in the past. Both were good 
trucks.

Good basic pickup.   As long as it is not rusted away, and the engine 
runs, then you might wanna check out the front end for worn ball joints, 
tie rods, LCA bushings, etc. (Assuming 2wd)   If 4 WD, there are 4

easy to put new bearings in.  There are shims to adjust the preload, but 
as long as you are careful, and put them all back the same way, you 
should not need to check/adjust them.

Check all the u joints and if it has CV joints, check them too.  The CV 
joints were expensive in 1972, and probably are now also.

Plan on putting volvo seats in it unless you are only gonna drive it

That is the first step.

Then, the most effective reaction is to sound the horn.  And not a
polite "toot, toot" but push the button and keep pushing until the
risk is over.

At the same time, slow down.  And don't keep watching the deer you
spotted.  Very often there are more around and any that you see
you have already seen and the _unseen_ ones are the most
surprising.

This is based on many, many miles of driving in rural deer
country.  So while I have impacted many deer,  the one that got
this wagon is the only contact in the last decade or so that I
have used the horn.  There have been at least a dozen situations
that could have easily included impact.  Of course, I can't say
what would have really happened.

In urban and suburban, the horn sounding may be an issue.  Use at
your own risk. *smiles*

Did you ever check the battery voltage? Given that the car sat for a bit while 
you worked on it and then  it sounds like you did not run it for long after you 
started it, maybe the battery is down and needs to be charged.

Ok so I finally get the new vacuum booster line and brake light switch (fyi
daytona MB is crushing on prices for OE) anyway and the r129 dual diaphragm
booster and 500e fronts and sl600 rear calipers on the knuckles right side
up and re bled with the pressure thingy today. Good news is it stops with
very little pedal effort now. Almost too little, but I will get used to it.

Anyway I drive down the steep driveway, and there is all kinds of water
running out of drains from the storm this week, because the car hasnt
moved. Anyway, park it across the street to check the mail, which isnt
there, get back in and no crank. Fiddle with the selector lever, no dice. I
guess the next step is to jump the starter at the terminal block and see if
it has any life. Then the neutral safety switch. Is there anything I am
missing? I wiggled all the fuses. The lights all come on the panel and dim
slightly when I turn it to start position, so I think the switch is ok, and
obviously it has juice from the batry. I was under there messing around, so
could have knocked something loose, but it started fine a few times in the
driveway before it didnt.

Thoughts?

I believe a full 55 gal barrel might exceed it's structural limits, but
only because the rim of the barrel would be the only contact area vs the
weight load.
It might work if you set the barrel on a piece of plywood to distribute the
load beyond the rim of the barrel.

With a load of dirt or rock, the weight is distributed across a much wider
area [although perhaps the same weight] against the "tarp" which slides
across the bed of the truck as you wind the handle.

I've used one for landscape rock... worked really well.
