  12. As you end your video Chris I understand you, according to Jen, have a 'thing' for trains. So it's not lost on you when I speak of the horn on those engines. I'm about 15 miles from the 'BNSF' and AMTRAK rail line in a valley here in Arizona. The track runs on the east side of this valley golden, abutting the Hualapia Mountain range. And when the engineer blows the horn on a quiet night to warn cattle or vehicles at crossings of its approach, I can hear it way over here on the eastern side of the valley. I also can hear the rumble of those mighty diesel engines as they roll along so far away from my home here on the western side of the valley. I reside on historic route 66, a.k.a. Oatman Hwy ajacent the Black Mountain where mining is still ongoing. I believe you may have heard of the tourist town of Oatman with its errant local celebrity donkeys roam the main street (State Route 66). Now all of that intro was to explain that when you're near the track as the engineer blasts so loudly its deafening horn, you jump out of your bed and even your skin. I'm sure I don't need to explain just how loud those horn blasts are to you Chris. I nick named the 'BNSF' as the "Blasted Noisey Son of a Female" (BNSF) when I lived 300 yards from the track. Every now and then the engineer found reason enough to wake up the tiny RV Park where I was staying back then. Much happier now 15 miles from all the toxic materials hauled in the tanks on that route. Prevailing wind normally would also be helpful in my current location.... IF

  16. The Stick It's crazy to see for sure how someone will adapt this or that. This 'stick' mount did remind me of the Merc Marquis '02 model I had back a year or two ago. The heater/defrost was inoperable when I purchased it, used of course. So I had a shop do the dirty task of getting to the repair of the blend door, no easy nor inexpensive job to say the least. When I went to pay the invoice the guy that did the job had left the part he removed for me to inspect. Crazy as it seemed then, somewhere along the way someone had decided that being the blend door wouldn't close when not warranted that a stick [ piece/block ] of wood would be just what was conviently at hand as a workable solution in shutting off the flow of heat, permantly. In Arizona not an issue 'cept in winter mornings. What is ironic is where that make shift block of wood had to be placed, how in heaven's name that was done, I can't fathom. Chris I'm sure you are likely aware of where this blend door is located up under the dashboard and why not order the part if you've gone that far to DIY this job, quite the mystery. It's possible the job of rigging the blend door with that block of wood, which was glued in place, could be managed without removing the dash. If I recall correctly, the job performed correctly did require removing the dash, at least the invoice seemed to tell me that when I left a chunk of my week's wage with the cashier. At 63 years of age, retired with a part time 'C' store job and not in the best of physical condition, I had little serious thought of trying to DI'Myself.
