RE: COVID PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
Three friends got #3 and report increased side effects over 1 and 2, after 24 hours.

Question
Has the Pfizer vs Moderna comparison been peer reviewed and confirmed? Some of the statements were vague and confusing.

RE: Charging Timer?
Amazon has Intermatics by the railroad boxcar full. The OMRON electronic I used was pricey but could be fed with 12 volts to 480 volts AC or DC.
I have a drawerful of cheap timers that don't.
But I have a small box of Intermatics that will.
I guess my patience tolerance is quite low.

RE: Charging Timer?
Screwup Proofing is why I use a timer.
Infallible reliability is why I chose the Intermatic mechanical windup timer.
Saving a few dollars which destroys a few thousand fails the wisdom test utterly.
For example when I did battery cycle testing, I chose a 12-volt powered OMRON timer that over-rode the voltage limit switches. Destroying a pallet of L16s was not an option.
The fact that the wind up timers work in commercial restrooms is a testament of their reliability and ruggedness.
Are they accurate? Down to the minute? Hell no. Did I need resolution down to the minute? Hell no.
I just needed an absolutely reliable cutoff without being forced to learn c++ programming language.

If you lust for an electric timer. Use an OMRON. Japanese. And they last.

RE: Charging Timer?
Look on Amazon for square face 200 - Amp DC relay.The Intermatic is a snap action switch. The relay should last forever x 12.

Wind up timer powering a constant duty relay. Chinese electronic timers are
J U N K
even the most expensive Chinese models blow up
I have never had a failure with an Intermatic.

RE: Power "vampire" on coach batteries
A favorite robber is a power amplifier for a stereo sound system. A hidden light left on in some remote compartment is another drain.
An unprofessionally installed constant duty power relay's coil can draw amperage.

RE: COVID PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
The only time CBP gets wound up is when a person shows up without proof of citizenship, like I did last January with a bleeding ulcer. Even then they groused when calling an ambulance.
During the border closure, the hospital called San Ysidro and authorized the passage of my friend Pablo to come north alone and fetch me when I was discharged. He does have a border crossing card, but the border was closed then to all Mexicans except workers holding green cards. Citizens claiming "incapacides" which means disabled totally are allowed a Mexican national with a valid border crossing card. but only a single individual.
Like always this explanation is not theoretical but actually tested and proven in reality.
If the citizen declares COVID an ambulance is called right at secondary. I have a dubious record of three ambulance rides. US Customs does not screw around when a citizen declares an emergency.

For Southwest Salmonella Onion Alert
Yellow, white, and red onions are causing a major outbreak of food borne salmonella in the southwest and here in México. It made headlines. Normally the stereotypical stomach problems of Mexico are handled with a few loperamide.
But this stuff can be much more intense.
A doctor is the one who can advise the afflicted. If the onions are thoroughly cooked it will destroy the bacteria
HOWEVER merely handling the onions can infect a person.
Direct from the school of (ugh) hard knocks.

RE: 2019–2022 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
Without citing links the preponderance of the evidence is pointing toward full immunization followed by asymptomatic infection as giving the best immunity. The key being asymptomatic.
The stumbling block is inhibited immunity due to age or other comorbidities.

RE: 2019–2022 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
I have encountered too many articles that wildly claim extreme COVID19 data minus corrobarative links. Mutant strains, multiple infections, you name it. This is why I ignore them. Beside Johns Hopkins and Lancet there are New England Journal of Medicine and Merck including the Merck Manual. Double Blind studies with peer reviewed corroboration weed out spurious claims that seldom lead to solid evidence. Social Media attempts emotional superlatives to gain a purely political objective.
The facts are bald faced Pianotuna, immunizations have saved millions of lives. They are not foolproof just like automobile and aircraft travel are not foolproof. But the process has been mired so deep in political mud, reality has been obscured.
This has evolved into the "IT'S ALL ABOUT ME" age. Personally I have hardened my stance to protect and insulate ME against politically oriented agendas. If a legitimate flaw in national posture regarding COVID19 was discovered a hurricane of outrage would ensue, not clusters of dissent.
Stiff upper lip sir. Enduring hyperbole builds character.

RE: COVID PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
Sometimes I think I was born under a lucky star. I try to count my blessings and sweep short comings under the rug...
The latest reports by the WHO indicate México COVID-19 case numbers are plunging. ICU patient percentages are down almost 80%.
Some of this is due to strict autonomy of rural villages in the south. Virtual isolation but that's the way they've been for centuries.
Masking (cubrebocas) is still strictly observed at stores. So is distancing. And air circulation. Fans are whirring.
For whatever reason, Tijuana and across the border are still hot spots.
But starting 8 November, CBP says it will start demanding proof of full inoculation to enter the USA. I haven't read anything regarding US citizens but I am going to carry my certificates to speed things up. It might be rumor but it is said people driving up to the Customs booth without wearing a mask are far more likely to be sent to secondary inspection.
There is a lot of peer pressure to get jabbed with an American vaccine. No one I know trusts anything other than the Pfizer or Moderna jab. The Russians say the papers just sent 1.5 million doses of Sputnik V vaccine even though the virus is considered to be runaway in Russia.
That's pretty much the latest gossip from here.

RE: Wheel Bearings - re-grease?
IMHO The brakes should be visually verified and since that involves pulling the drums...I used to use an inductive ammeter to ensure all drums were activated equally.
Another quirk I insisted on was to make sure lug nuts could be spun with the fingers and use of a torque wrench, and three cross lug verifications for each wheel.Bend and check valve stems for base cracking and examine every tire inch-by-inch. I detest road shoulder breakdowns.

RE: Separate Alternator Rectifier For HOUSE Batteries
Count your rectifiers. If there are four pairs, OEM is obviously rectifying that termination. I personally disfavor unbalanced phases for the sake of the voltage regulator even if it is ECU contained. To keep this a bit less technical I have seen overheated phase windings due to a disordered phase 4 conductor. With a principal loading route still connected a total phase connection does not exist but amplified phase inequality due to small #1 vs Large #2 over long periods of time have impacts. I used to use TO5 30-amp rectifiers both anode and cathode connections to fully rectify the stator on Ford 3G and 4G units.

RE: Generator runs fine, but no electricity in coach
I can hope there is a responsible You Tube tutorial about how to use your meter. Do not guess.
Also, I highly recommend using nitrile mechanic's gloves when working around live circuits. They will protect against 120vac shock if dry.
Also folks with Pacemakers should not work on generators. The reality is not a failure of the Pacemaker. It's vulnerability is corrupted memory that can erroneously show fibrillation, Bradycardia, or even Infarction when your cardiologist retrieves data.

RE: 2019–2022 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
To keep this objective and clinical...
The Swiss and German studies on prime boost philosophy insisted on hetero killed virus prime then mRNA boost. Titer neutralizer counts were much higher using this particular recipe.
The first mRNA jab was intended to complete the series but two caveats have arisen.
The Delta variant
Full immunization is mandatory in the USA for surgery.
I had my choice of Boosters. Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J. I chose Moderna.
Medical is not simple chemistry. Reactive modulators created in the body must be specially determined and even then the apparent values are unique to that person. That is why large scale peer reviewed studies are absolutely mandatory.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if my Titer count amounted to within the bell curve. I am old and frail with a highly compromised immune system. I remain sequestered until mid November. By December my immune response "should be" at it's theoretical maximum level of neutralizers.
Time will tell. I intend to get bi-monthly Titer analysis.
