I think I look especially good. The hat is a nice touch. Being the youngest, I always got suckered into playing dress up with my big sister. Mom’s 56 Beetle is in the background. -D > On Dec 5, 2020, at 5:48 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > >  > >

NOAA finally did a study to learn why the salmon seemed to have crashed and if all the Columbia river and Snake dams were the cause. Same theory with the Rouge river as well. Turned out that the populations were declining because there were too many wild salmon getting caught commercially and

It has more to do with Seattle being a liberal nut zone where panic and hysteria about any manner of perceived threat to wildlife and human activities must be persecuted with Greenpeace level zeal. There was massive outcry a few years ago that people were peeing too much caffeine into Puget

Yes we all thought we knew the answers. But none of them really seemed controllable until this one. E.g. the logging clearcut runoff, or Japanese purse seiners. On Sun, Dec 6, 2020, 1:15 AM Clay Monroe via Mercedes wrote: > NOAA finally did a study to learn why the salmon seemed to have crashed

My first car was a 1951 beetle, deluxe version (aluminum trim and hydraulic brakes. My second car was another '51 VW, standard version with cable operated brakes. I maintained Mom's 1958 Deluxe bus, the one with all the windows. It had the 1200cc engine and she hated it because it was so slow. Dad

Re: [MBZ] Cars kill fish

IMO there are many factors impacting salmon runs. Logging roads were placed adjacent to creeks in order to take advantage of the relatively level runs, multiplying the silting and polluting of the creeks. Loss of creekside vegetation causes warming of the water, which along with the silt and

Yes, fun picture!  Wonder how many of us have air cooled engine experience?  I've driven and worked on 63 beetle,  71 or so super beetle, 66 van, and a 69 wagon.  Only had one engine blow up and shove a valve out of the head.  Rebuilt one engine. Max Dillon Charleston SC Dec 5, 2020 5:48:57

We had a 70 Beetle, dropped #3 exhaust valve and we had a family friend rebuild it. Rusted away, but we all drove the stuffings out of it. Great car for what it was. The trick to them is that they NEED valve adjustments, particularly on #3 cylinder because the oil cooler is on that side and
