If I were to migrate to NZ it would be to Nelson, northern end of the South
Island..  Properties with water views are quite affordable.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

And Aussieland, like NZ, would require you to have large sums of cash or a 
business to land in the country permanently if you’re older than that. A friend 
in Brisbane tells me that even these requirements are being reconsidered due to 
the large number of Asian immigrants who are bringing large sums of $$ with 
them.

A coworker has an uncle who emigrated to NZ a few years ago. Essentially, if 
you’re toward the end of your career they don’t want you showing up and tapping 
their services, so you have to bring in and maintain a large sum of money in 
country so they know you won’t be a burden. Uncle sold off businesses that he 
owned which generated the funds necessary for he and Auntie to land in Kiwiland.

[Clay via Mercedes]

Living that dream now.  All my tools are a very long drive away.  Burns me to 
know I have the needed tool, but not on hand.  Good excuse for me to just look 
at SWMBA forlorn when she wants something fixed.

I have no use for two homes, where neither one has what I need.  SEA has all my 
gear, nothing I can use up here.  Trying to reconcile retirement locale for 
when SWMBA taps her pension.  Aussieland is out, as you have to be younger then 
45 to emigrate.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Bloomington, IN. Actually I'm in more rural Monroe County.

I will say that the weather we've had this week is NOT typical August
weather here. It's normally upper 80s to mid-90s and humid during the
day this time of year. Maybe 70s and still humid at night.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

Some observations:  It's cheaper to cool (AC) than to heat.  If your state (or 
city) is broke and deep in debt someone's going to be left holding the bag; 
better if it's not you.  If LOEs cannot maintain order (because LEOs are too 
few or criminals are too numerous or traitor politicians still need to be 
guillotined) you need to leave.  If fixed costs (groceries, shelter, energy, 
utilities, taxes, etc.) consume nearly all of your income you did something 
wrong.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

He’s in Bloomington, home of Indiana University (I.U.) Beautiful area, very 
nice. Literally the foothills of the Appalachians. I’m going to be down that 
way for a wedding in September. The weather will be perfect that time of year.

The dividing line is more or less I-70. North of that is flat and south is 
rolling hills that get progressively larger as you head towards the Ohio River.

 I can deal with the winter, I think. It wasn’t bad before when we moved
 back to Indiana, just the lack of sunlight, but that can be addressed a
 number of ways. The thing we like about WI is the quality of life there.
 Can’t quantify this, but it’s a great place in so many ways. I would

Northern Indiana is flat and boring IMO. Southern Indiana is hilly and
more interesting at least in that sense.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

We've had a normal-to-cool summer here so far. Got down to 52 last
night, unheard of for August. Wonderful sleeping weather. Haven't run
the AC since last weekend.

The worst of the hot/humid summer days here can be unpleasant to be
sure. But I like having a distinct Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. By
the time you get sick of the heat (or cold), the season changes. At the
same time, none of it is really extreme.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’m going to guess you weren’t there in the winter…

Green Bay and the whole Fox River valley (Appleton, Neenah, Oshkosh, Fond du 
Lac, etc.) is a great area, but lousy in the winter. They’re far enough inland 
that they really get some nasty cold and snow. If you were going that far north 
I would stick to Sheboygan or Manitowoc, as the closer you are to the lake the 
less effect the cold weather can have. As they always said in the weather 
forecasts, “Cooler by the lake.”

Wonderful areas, though, really great people and lots to do all year round. If 
there was a down side it would be property taxes, which are pretty high there. 
However, the infrastructure is excellent as a result, so it’s a bit of a 
tradeoff.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I was thinking that if you wanted to be semi-rural WI, MN, MI and IN are all 
pretty similar. Iowa might be too but probably not as cold.
One of my favorite work trips was to Green Bay, WI. Worked at a TV station 
(WLUK) right next to the stadium. It didn't hurt that one of the students 
looked and sounded just like Don Adams. His first name was Don too...

I can deal with the winter, I think. It wasn’t bad before when we moved back to 
Indiana, just the lack of sunlight, but that can be addressed a number of ways. 
The thing we like about WI is the quality of life there. Can’t quantify this, 
but it’s a great place in so many ways. I would presume that places like MI or 
MN would be similar.

SWMBO has pretty well decided that this is the house she’s going to expire in, 
so the potential for a future move is pretty slim. I could see a possible 
seasonal home somewhere else, but even that’s not likely.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I haven’t been to Madison in many years, but I had a great uncle who had a 
cottage near Hanover, just west of Madison, that we used to visit regularly as 
a kid. Nice area. If that’s a consideration, I would suggest a bit north of 
there in the Greensburg/Batesville area. Pleasantly rural but close enough to 
the big city, either Indianapolis or Cincinnati only an hour away. Low property 
costs and cost of living in general. My brother in law is from Batesville and 
he and my sister have a retirement home they just finished building there last 
year on Lake Santee.

Illinois is swirling the bowl. It was severely in the red before the government 
reaction to Covid. I haven't looked at the numbers recently, but I suspect they 
are within twenty four months of bankruptcy at this point. I also suspect they 
are hoping for a federal regime change, followed by a nice bail out package. 
The public pensions are protected by the Illinois Constitution, and they are 
wicked expensive. Plus most, if not all pensions are guaranteed a three percent 
increase per annum. Retire at 55, collect a pension, get another cush job for a 
decade, collect two pensions. If you take into consideration there are school 
administrators in absolute sh*t hole school districts making upwards of $300 k 
a year, you can see this is quite a dilemma. As of now pensions are not taxed, 
but that WILL be changing. 


I would strongly urge NOT moving to Illinois. 
I might consider Southern Indiana where Peter lives, or perhaps somewhere 
around Madison. 

 See for reference.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

DC Area had its hottest July on record with 20 straight days above 90 deg.
F.  We are also up 7" on rainfall YTD after the Isaias drenching.
Incidentally, my Pepco bill for July was $30 net due to 55 solar PV panels
on the roof, with the central AC running 24/7.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I would say that’s a pretty broad list. You probably need to qualify what’s 
most important to you and weight each choice to figure out what’s best.

I can deal with the winter, I think. It wasn’t bad before when we moved back to 
Indiana, just the lack of sunlight, but that can be addressed a number of ways. 
The thing we like about WI is the quality of life there. Can’t quantify this, 
but it’s a great place in so many ways. I would presume that places like MI or 
MN would be similar.

SWMBO has pretty well decided that this is the house she’s going to expire in, 
so the potential for a future move is pretty slim. I could see a possible 
seasonal home somewhere else, but even that’s not likely.

You know, Dan, we are considering the following in no particular order:

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

You DO NOT want to move to Illinois.

My brother in law left Illinois two years ago to move back to Indiana, after 
living near Champagne/Urbana for a number of years. Great area, wonderful 
college town with a very vibrant community,low crime, etc. His tax burden 
dropped by double digits when he moved out of IL.

The state is going down the financial tubes, and they're increasingly placing 
the burden on the taxpayers while doing little to remediate the problems that 
caused the issues to begin with.

I would move back to WI in a heartbeat. SWMBO would never sign off on this 
unless it was for a summer home, but I don’t want to split my life between two 
places so far apart. All I can think of is what I would do when I needed 
something and it was at the other house…

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

We have had 32 days with highs over 110 degrees this summer so far. More are 
forecasted for the next week. Now, granted, our humidity is nonexistent, so 
it’s just as stifling but in a different way.  
We’ve lived here since 1982. I am getting ready to retire, living in a place 
where many retire to. SWMBO says she misses seasons (I interpret that as, 
“let’s move”).
We both grew up in Illinois, we have family there, but taxes are killer (my dad 
reminds me every time I talk with him on the phone).
So much to consider.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Fall is the greatest time of the year, temps moderate, bugs decrease, days are 
still relatively long.
Buster and I went out yesterday before the storm to scout goose hunting spots. 
I've got one more week of furlough and it coincides with the first week of 
goose season. My intention is to hunt every day, the only thing that will stop 
me is terrible weather. I'll hunt in mild rain but if its pouring that's no 
fun. Fortunately not common in the fall here.
We found a terrific spot, beaver pond next to a fairly recent cut forest. Lots 
of lilly pads, shallow with good feed for geese. They cut near the edge of the 
pond but the bushes have grown so theres a good place to hide.

 You're bonkers, I'd rather have 0F than 85F and 95% humidity.
The storm yesterday has brought us some cooler temperatures which is a 
blessing, its been 80+ and 80+% humidity for nearly a month now.
Folks around here are complaining about their electric bill "mysteriously"

 There was a time when a tornado "warning" was a fairly serious
 situation, and specifically meant that a tornado had been spotted. Now,
 it just means that radar has detected conditions that are "likely" to be
 associated with a potential tornado.
 
 I'm not exactly sure when this changed but it seems to go along with the
 "dangerous heat advisories" being issued for normal summer temperatures.

Speaking of which, there will be no spectators at the Indy 500 this year.
And those tickets they made you buy a year in advance? Nonrefundable (but
I believe you can apply the cost towards 2021 tickets).

 There was a time when a tornado "warning" was a fairly serious
 situation, and specifically meant that a tornado had been spotted. Now,
 it just means that radar has detected conditions that are "likely" to be
 associated with a potential tornado.
 
 I'm not exactly sure when this changed but it seems to go along with the
 "dangerous heat advisories" being issued for normal summer temperatures.

That’s the one thing that’s different about Indiana and Florida. It doesn’t 
cool off overnight here like it does there. I lived relatively close to where 
Allan lives (I was on the far southside of Indianapolis/Marion County just east 
of SR37, the main highway to Bloomington) and did a lot of farm work north of

I also remember my shoes mildewing in the closet in those days, so it wasn't 
much cooler or drier.  I don't miss not having AC.

Mom remembers the summer of 1936 when the temp got up to 107F.  I think they 
may have had an electric fan.  Only thing air conditioned was the new theater 
in town. with a large steam powered vacuum unit -- must have been pure hell 
working the boiler in there!

Salt pills were new then, and probably helped when you were dripping sweat all 
day.

Re: [MBZ] Wilton: How are you doing?

Growing up in central Indiana I don’t see where it’s any hotter (or humid) then 
as it is now. in the months of July, August and even into September 90s with 
maximum humidity was the norm, and I can recall it well. I was usually baling 
hay in August or working in greenhouses the rest of the time as a teenager, 
hydrating heavily and staying covered if out in the sun for extended periods. 
Baling hay you had to wear dungarees and long sleeved shirts or you would be 
itching for days afterwards. Stacking in the barn loft was the worst because it 
was hotter than Hades in there and there wasn’t a lot of air moving around.

I don’t ever recall “dangerous heat advisories” when I was a kid. We were lucky 
to get the parents to turn on the AC. They were convinced you could crack the 
windows and use the attic fan to keep it cool all day long (wrong!)

https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Line-Force-Pilots-Journey-ebook/dp/B00P8BN9L8
  Flying the Line, An Air Force Pilot's Journey: Pilot Training,
  Vietnam, SAC, 1970-1979
  by Lt Col Jay Lacklen USAFR Retired (Author)

Do you know of this fellow and his B52 flying?

Some of the reviews on Amazon are rather scathing.

Yes, "my" 91 350SDL is black; don't remember a GP fuse; vaguely remember 
replacing relay.

Wasn't WIlton's black car a 350SDL? Anybody know if it had the normal GP

Patrick, did you take the cover off the GP relay and see where the GP

It probably was not us specifically but whatever server we are one. So it makes

The only thing I would suggest for anybody not getting mail is to report the 
issue to their isp or mail provider and request they remove the block or 
whitelist us. As to why were were blocked in the first place or what the 
different email addresses have in common I don’t know. It does seem to be 
related to hotmail and it appears a lot of hotmail folks are the ones bouncing 
mail back. Other domains are bouncing as well so there has to be some common 
connection among them.

The next time somebody asks how you're doing say "hello" and see if they say

Thanks Wilton,

I'll see how receptive my Neurologist is to trying it at 2 week 
intervals.   BTW, did you receive your IVIG in the hospital or at home? 
The last one we did at home, we had trouble getting the fluid to flow in 
the tubing (because it is kept pretty cold for one reason).  My wife is a 
RN with lots of experience with this kind of thing and she was getting 
frustrated.  Plus I don't pay as well as the VA Hosp. ;-)


Maybe the hospital could have warmed it?  Just curious where you rec'd

I just called him.

He said things are continuing on the same, with him having immunoglobulin
infusions every two weeks to control his CIPD.

He said his CDI is running well and doesn't have the typical 123, 124,
and 126 problems to take care of, so he has been lurking.

I suggested he might post another Sondy tale. He said he would think
about that and that he could pass out a few ATTABOYs, too.

He said he didn't like all the computer stuff in the CDI and much
preferred driving his W124 when he had it before it got wrecked.

Yep; 'been lurking.

Indeed, I don't enjoy driving the 320CDI as much as I did my 126 & 124.  I'm

still even a little nervous driving, too, since the accident.  'Never had 
that problem before, neither driving nor flying.  'Don't know how I could

The 320CDI does drive and ride mighty good, though, and has an excess of 
power - almost scary.

BTW, that's CIDP - chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

Enjoyed short phone conversation with Craig.  Thanks, Craig.

Thanks for sharing, Larry.  My GF's brother has severe, debilitating pain
from sciatica.  Would this product help with that as well?

He said things are continuing on the same, with him having

immunoglobulin

infusions every two weeks to control his CIPD.

He said his CDI is running well and doesn't have the typical 123, 
124,

and 126 problems to take care of, so he has been lurking.

I suggested he might post another Sondy tale. He said he would think
about that and that he could pass out a few ATTABOYs, too.

He said he didn't like all the computer stuff in the CDI and much

Re: [MBZ] Wilton?

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

Thanks Gerry !!

I'll pass this along to my neurologist to see if he is familiar with 
this.  Since he 1st treated me and eventually sent me to a 
anesthesiologist for pain management, he has shifted his practice to 
concentrate on sleep problems so he may not be aware of CIDP developments.


Thanks again. Maybe this will help?

Have you heard of any other treatments?

The 320CDI does drive and ride mighty good, though, and has an excess of

BTW, that's CIDP - chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

Enjoyed short phone conversation with Craig.  Thanks, Craig.

Yep, I'll even see if there's a Sondy Tale I've not yet posted.

Happy new year!

I just called him.

He said things are continuing on the same, with him having

immunoglobulin

infusions every two weeks to control his CIPD.

He said his CDI is running well and doesn't have the typical 123, 124,
and 126 problems to take care of, so he has been lurking.

I suggested he might post another Sondy tale. He said he would think
about that and that he could pass out a few ATTABOYs, too.

He said he didn't like all the computer stuff in the CDI and much
preferred driving his W124 when he had it before it got wrecked.

Hey Wilton!

I'm glad to hear the Immunoglobulin infusions are helpful.  I had 3 
infusions when I was 1st diagnosed with CIDP and they were less and less 
successful with each infusion.  I guess everyone reacts differently to 
the disease as well as the treatment?  I continue to try to control the 
pain which is only partly successful.


Maybe I should get my neurologist to give me multiple infusions 
like you get?  I guess if that would help, maybe the infusions I rec'd 
would have shown more promise?
