After verifying that none of the 16 000 angry truck drivers were
blockading the road to Tiwanaku, we set out for a very fun day at the ruins!
We grabbed a city bus/van to the cemetery district and then got into
another minivan heading to Tiwanaku. After waiting around for a while,
we set off, driving out of the city through the neighbouring
municipality of El Alto and then through the stunning Altiplano with
views of snowy mountains above the city. We chatted with a couple of
English people, also spending the day at the ruins. It never takes long
for people to think that the gulf islands are one of the weirdest places
they've ever heard of.
We hopped out of the van outside the ruins and bought some cookies for a
snack before entering the main site. It was almost deserted and
absolutely spectacular. We started by exploring Akapana, a large pyramid
made mainly from earth that was thought to have been the centre of the
city. Then we visited the semi-subterranean temple with carving of faces
jutting out from the walls. They are thought to represent the gods of
the cultures conquered by the Tiwanaku. Then, we spent a long time
oohing and awing over the incredible architecture of Kalasasaya, the
sacred centre of the city. The stone work was incredible, and it's
especially amazing in a culture without iron tools. There were ornate
doorways and statues, and a very sophisticated aqueduct system. We also
saw a huge mud alter that's still used for Aymara ceremonies at the
site. Our last stop in the main complex was Putini, which is thought to
be a burial ground. By this time, buses full of tourists were arriving,
but we managed to avoid them as they started to explore the site.
Next, we visited the Museo Litico which houses many of the statues
uncovered during the excavations of Tiwanaku. They were all incredible;
the Pachamama (or Mother Earth) statue was 7.3 meters tall and covered
from head to toe in details carvings. The style of lots of the statues
resembles totem poles, so that was a cool link between distant cultures.
It was past noon by now, so we decided to venture into the town of
Tiwanaku to find a cheap place to eat. After a delicious meal of soup
and rice, we found a store selling treats to the hoards of
turquoise-sweater-wearing school kids. We bought ice cream and then
headed towards the second complex of ruins: Puma Punku. We were the only
ones there for most of the time and it was magical. There was some
impressive stonework and it was super cool to walk around the earth
pyramid and see it from all angles.
Finally, we visited the ceramics museum, which was very busy with tour
groups. It was still cool though, to see the pottery and a few textiles
that had been used in the site.
Tired after such a fun day, we got on another mini-bus and headed back
to La Paz.

Dinosaur tracker Ray Stanford describes the cretaceous-era nodosaur track he found on the Goddard Space Flight Center campus with Dr. Robert Weems, emeritus paleontologist for the USGS who verified his discovery.
This imprint shows the right rear foot of a nodosaur - a low-slung, spiny leaf-eater - apparently moving in haste as the heel did not fully settle in the cretaceous mud, according to dinosaur tracker Ray Stanford. It was found recently on NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center campus and is being preserved for study.

On Friday, Aug. 17, 2012, noted dinosaur hunter Ray Stanford shared the location of that footprint with Goddard’s facility management.
The imprint shows the right rear foot of a nodosaur - a low-slung, spiny leaf-eater - apparently moving in haste as the heel did not fully settle in the cretaceous mud, according to dinosaur tracker Ray Stanford. It was found recently on NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center campus and is being preserved for study.
Picuted here are Dr. Robert Weems, emeritus paleontologist for the USGS and Goddard Facilities Planner Alan Binstock, covering the newly discover nodosaur imprint with a sandbag to help preserve the imprecision.

After verifying that none of the 16 000 angry truck drivers were
blockading the road to Tiwanaku, we set out for a very fun day at the
ruins!
We grabbed a city bus/van to the cemetery district and then got into
another minivan heading to Tiwanaku. After waiting around for a while,
we set off, driving out of the city through the neighbouring
municipality of El Alto and then through the stunning Altiplano with
views of snowy mountains above the city. We chatted with a couple of
English people, also spending the day at the ruins. It never takes long
for people to think that the gulf islands are one of the weirdest places
they've ever heard of.
We hopped out of the van outside the ruins and bought some cookies for a
snack before entering the main site. It was almost deserted and
absolutely spectacular. We started by exploring Akapana, a large pyramid
made mainly from earth that was thought to have been the centre of the
city. Then we visited the semi-subterranean temple with carving of faces
jutting out from the walls. They are thought to represent the gods of
the cultures conquered by the Tiwanaku. Then, we spent a long time
oohing and awing over the incredible architecture of Kalasasaya, the
sacred centre of the city. The stone work was incredible, and it's
especially amazing in a culture without iron tools. There were ornate
doorways and statues, and a very sophisticated aqueduct system. We also
saw a huge mud alter that's still used for Aymara ceremonies at the
site. Our last stop in the main complex was Putini, which is thought to
be a burial ground. By this time, buses full of tourists were arriving,
but we managed to avoid them as they started to explore the site.
Next, we visited the Museo Litico which houses many of the statues
uncovered during the excavations of Tiwanaku. They were all incredible;
the Pachamama (or Mother Earth) statue was 7.3 meters tall and covered
from head to toe in details carvings. The style of lots of the statues
resembles totem poles, so that was a cool link between distant cultures.
It was past noon by now, so we decided to venture into the town of
Tiwanaku to find a cheap place to eat. After a delicious meal of soup
and rice, we found a store selling treats to the hoards of
turquoise-sweater-wearing school kids. We bought ice cream and then
headed towards the second complex of ruins: Puma Punku. We were the only
ones there for most of the time and it was magical. There was some
impressive stonework and it was super cool to walk around the earth
pyramid and see it from all angles.
Finally, we visited the ceramics museum, which was very busy with tour
groups. It was still cool though, to see the pottery and a few textiles
that had been used in the site.
Tired after such a fun day, we got on another mini-bus and headed back
to La Paz.

-----------------------------------
A perennial plant that grows naturally in the central and southeastern parts of the USA. I have an individual of Texas ancestry.
Place it in a bright half-day shade that avoids the west sun, not in the shade.
The flowers bloom for a long time, with a flowering period of May to October. The cool autumn has a darker flower color, and the flower color is slightly lighter in the hot season when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius.
It is a perennial plant, and if managed indoors in winter, rhizomes will remain, and in spring it will sprout again and bloom from early summer to late autumn.
If possible, replant with new soil every year to divide the stock. The reason is that continuous cropping disorders are likely to occur.
As fertilizer, a proper amount of slow-release fertilizer is applied as the main fertilizer, or 1000 diluted liquid chemical fertilizer is given once a week.
美國中南部～東南部に自生する多年草～宿根草。テキサスの系統が手許にあります。
置き場所は、あまり日蔭ではなく西日の避けられる明るい半日蔭に置きます。
開花期間が5～10月くらいまでと、長く花が咲きます。涼しい秋のほうが濃い色の花色になり、気温が30度を超える暑い時期は花色はやや薄くなります。

It's no coincidence that Pines International, the same company that produced the first #greensuperfood 1976, introduced the World’s first Non-GMO Project Verified alfalfa leaf.
During its 40 years, Pines helped establish national organic standards and provided significant financial assistance and leadership to dozens of organizations dedicated to sustainability and environmental causes. Pines has also been speaking out and active in educating consumers about the increased #herbicide and #pesticide residue in our food supply caused by GMOs.
In the past several years, Pines organic farm families joined with others to speak out against allowing GMO alfalfa. Despite strong objection, the government now allows alfalfa leaf that has been genetically modified to tolerate direct spray of herbicide.
Most alfalfa leaf now on the market is #GMO because those who grow alfalfa for natural food products also grow it as feed for the meat industry. Killing weeds with poison for their animal feed is more profitable for them.
Our certified #organic #gmofree alfalfa is also a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable like #PinesWheatGrass. Most people do not eat enough dark green #vegetables to protect their health. Pines specializes in convenient and economical products to help you and your family increase your dark green #vegetable #nutrition.
Pines' alfalfa is used in our alfalfa tablets and powder as well as Green Duo, which is a 50/50 blend of #alfalfa and #wheatgrass. #GreenDuo is available in both capsules and powder.
Another tasty product is #MightyGreens, a simple-but-effective blend of alfalfa and wheatgrass with only two additional ingredients for more #plantbasedprotein and flavor. For a list of stores or to order directly, please visit wheatgrass.com
Pines Is the only wheatgrass and alfalfa producer to follow the standards established in 1937 by Charles F. Schnabel, the father of wheatgrass.

The history of roses in the People's Garden
The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:
1000 standard roses
4000 Floribunda,
300 rambling roses,
(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.
Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:
1859 - Rubens
1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods
1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier
The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:
730 tree roses
2300 Floribunda
132 rambling roses
100 shrub roses
That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.
Molineux 1994
Rubens 1859
Medialis 1993
Swan lake 1968
Once flourished here Lilac and Rhododendron bushes
1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made multiple extensions.
The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)
What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.
Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.
Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.
1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.
(All the pictures you can see by clicking the link at the end of the side!)

Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)
Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses
Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).
All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".
Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )
Other classifications are:
(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.
Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds
Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other

4000 Floribunda
Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy
There are few smelling varieties
Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms
New concept of color: from red to light yellow
The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.
This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.
Colorful roses
2011: white and pink roses
2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .
Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering
Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock
What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.
Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.
1000 Tree roses
Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.
During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.
Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)
Plantings - Pests - Winter Care
Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).
Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).
In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.
Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.
Pest Control with Poison
The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).
They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.
Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.
They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.
Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.
4 x/year fertilizing
4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.
Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.
In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).
Finishes in the Augarten
Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.
Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.
Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.
200 shrub roses
Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument
Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.
The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.
Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time
classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.
Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.
They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.
The Renner- Rose
The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.
It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner
When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.
Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.
Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz
He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.
In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.
High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.
Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?
The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".
After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.
Renner Rose is almost 100 years old
A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.
In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

This came along before my cataract surgery, so I "farmed out" the verification, even though I was sure it was legitimate. What I couldn't tell was small details... I've since had cataract surgery, but because of some of the lunatics I've encountered on the web, I still double verify and re-corroborate. I have also learned it's a waste of time to pamper the gutless f**kheaded loudmouths who spew bullshit on the web as "authorities". They scum. And I've started treating the bastards just as they deserve.
In person and via photography, verified and corroborated with the most trustworthy, heavily credentialed, senior, and sane collectors I know--about a half dozen of them!!--that this "last cartouche" (the DAS is NOT a cartouche--no writing or letters! Check a dictionary for the old "Egyptian" correct definition and its basis if you doubt that... ) butt stock is authentic, albeit it's been sanded. Not too many dings. No cracks, no paint, weird Danish or other stampings...
The metal will be removed before I dump it for something I actually need.
Weirdly, this was about the very LAST item I was looking for or wanted when I stumbled across this, and upon cleanup, contacted the network of "usual suspects" because I no longer trust my eyesight on wood. Looking back, I doubt if I've seen two dozen of these. They're fairly close to being the least common of the letter cartouched butt stocks.
Last one I had was on an old D.C.M. rifle, from an estate, and had been surmarked with a DAS (Defense Acceptance Stamp). It, too, was absolutely authentic, and appeared on an all original rifle right in that low 4 million area where one would figure such things might've happened.
Then there's the even weirder tale of "JLG", the initials of an expired shooter, with which he had emblazoned his M1 and several other firearms and appliancs, along with his social security number.
Had one specimen whose actual wood dated from about 1939, but also bearing an undoubted authentic "JLG" cartouche. Obviously, it sat somewhere at the armory, probably coming off a rejected rifle, then got marked MUCH later. The imbecile who claimed it was "fake" was spewing nonsense out his idiotic butt.
Anyway, it's a certainty. Not some loudmouth's assertion or slimy internet "proof"!! Strange find. There are handguards with it which "color match", but I remain unconvinced they're "correct" to it, and I have other uses for them, anyway.

***********************************************************************************
STOP! Don't take your shifter apart until you have positively identified that the problem is internal and can not be solved or helped by spraying lubrication into the shifter.
Background: My brother in-law brought his bike over and mentioned that the shifting wasn’t working. He had purchased the bike used sometime in the last year but this was the first time I had seen it. Thus I don’t know the full background of the bike but here is a general description. The bike had a full Shimano 105 ((speed 5500 series) buildout, it was a 1999 Raleigh R600 (2) based on some BikePedia research. It had an Ohio bike shop sticker on it and there was some rust on the brake springs and stem. Bare aluminum by the cranks looked slightly corroded. So to me it looked like the bike may have spent some time outside, unprotected or ridden in salty midwest winters.
Diagnosing: On the bike stand I pedaled and tried to shift through the gears in the rear (right shift lever). The downshifting clicks (big paddle) were distinct but a little gummy. The upshift (small paddle) didn’t want to click. As I pushed the small paddle the big paddle wanted to follow. I then unhooked the rear derailleur cable and removed it from the shifter so there was no tension from the rear derailleur. There wasn’t much improvement in how crisp the shifting felt. When pressing the small paddle the large paddle still wanted to follow. The large paddle had to be held in place while the small one was pressed in order to get a click/shift. This pointed towards an internal problem.
Lube First: Since the action felt gummy and there was evidence the bike may have been left outside I suspected the internal lubrication in the shifter was no longer in good shape. At this time I tried spraying some PB blaster (which I bought based on internet recommendations) into the shifter lever and working it the shifter though the range of clicks. In a best case scenario the action would have freed up and the shifter been usable.
I opted to to take a more extreme solvent to the shifter, some aerosol carburetor cleaner. This stuff is nasty. I had gloves and glasses on. I watched some of the clear coat bubble off the aluminum shift/brake lever. I suspect this could also harm plastic or rubber items as well. I regretted using the carb cleaner at this point. I wiped as much off as I could and tried spraying more PB blaster in and the shooting some BikeAid lubricant in. This process was messy. It was hard to tell if the solvent/lube was getting fully into the shifter. I think this process did loosen up some of the gummy grease but as I would later find out there was more to the problem.
Going Deeper: At this point the shifter was still not working and I wanted to see inside of it. I’d found enough pieces of information online to suggest that is was possible to take apart (and reassemble) an STI shifter but it was also possible that I would end up losing parts or never get it put back together. I gave myself a quick pep talk, listened to John Henry and decided to give those Japanese robots a run for their money.
Preparing to Disassemble: I made sure to have a clear and clean work place on my workbench with some fresh paper towels down. For tools I had a small philips, ⅜” punch, allen wrenches, 8mm and 9mm wrenches, dental picks and a roll pin. I had teflon grease for reassembly. I shifted to the highest gear position to release as much initial spring tension as possible. The Front/Back and Top/Bottom of the shifter all refer to the viewpoint of a rider sitting on the bike. The shifter was primarily disassembled facing the front of the shifter though so Left/Right references would be reversed from the riders perspective.
Disassembly: I took the lever off the bike and removed the rubber hood (3485, 3486). I pried off the plastic 105 cap that covered the front of the shifter (3487). I backed out the grub screw (3489) that kept the pivot in place and used the punch to drive it out (3491). There is a coil spring that helps the brake lever return. Take note of its position (3493-95). Remove the brake cable stop pivot (3496). The pivot has a plastic and metal beveled washer on each side (3502-04)
At this point the brake components have been removed from the shifter (3505-06). On the front of the shifter there is a philips head bolt that holds a black plastic bracket that the 105 faceplate was formerly mounted to (3508). Removing this bolt will not release any springs. This reveals an 8mm nut (5510). This nut holds the large shift paddle/brake lever on the center column of the shifter but there is a second screw on the back we will get to in a moment. Remove the metal washer with the cross shaped center and the nylon shim using a pick (3511, 12, 14). Notice the end of the coil spring that will release in a moment (3511).
Turn the shifter over to see the back and there is a philips screw that needs to be removed (3515-17). This will allow the large shift paddle to come fully off and release the first coil spring (3519-21, 24). Some shots of the lever disassembled to this point (3526,28,29,31). Use a 9mm wrench to take off the next gold nut (3532-33). This frees rest of the shifter components to come off the central column (3534). The first pieces to come off are a metal plate, a round grey plastic plate and the large gray plastic housing. As the large housing comes off a small spring will release (3535-36). Photos 3543-53, show the shifter with the housing remove. The pawls and ratchets wheels are all still in place though so this series should be helpful for verifying reassembly too.
I donned the nitril gloves and put on my glasses again so I could use more of the carb cleaner to try to clear out some of the gunk before continuing to remove parts. During this cleaning some of the pieces began to slide further off the central column so not all of the parts are in alignment in these photos (3554-57). The next parts to come off are the ratchet wheel assembly, this is also what holds the shift cable head (3558-59). There is a coil spring sandwiched in this assembly that causes the ratchet wheel to want to return to the high gear position (3562). The silver ratchet wheel has teeth on the right side (NDS) that engage the twin pawls on the top of the shifter. Behind this is a pair of gold ratchets that have a black metal piece in between (3562). These pawls are on the left (DS) of the shifter and engage the pawl on the bottom of the shifter. Photo 3563 shows the last of the ratchet wheel assembly removed, the pawls are still in place. Photo 3569 shows the parts removed at this point.
Photos 3571-72 show the orientation of a few pieces that need to go on in a specific way. Pulling a black metal piece off reveals a thin silver washer (3573). The next few photos show how warped and bent this silver washer was. I suspect that this was the culprit or evidence of the interference that was going on in the shifter. (I accidently changed the name of these photos before I realized the sequential numbers were easier to reference). The last parts on the column are a silver ‘comma’ shaped piece with a cross in the middle, a ‘c’ shaped spring and one more thin silver washer with a tab (3585).
Assembly: First off, Sorry. There are only about ten pictures of the assembly process. It was very iterative. I had to repeat a lot of steps as things fell out of alignment. When I would accomplish a sub step I wouldn’t want to let go if the parts and take a picture since there would be a chance all of my work would come undone.
Starting with the first three pieces, silver washer, c-spring, and comma, make sure they align like shown in 3588-89. I unhooked the springs for the pawl eventually to keep it out of the way. It was easy to reinstall later. I then put the same bent washer back since I know there are no spare parts. I also didn’t want to keep the shifter apart to look for a substitute part and then forget how to put it back together. Added some new clean grease though (3593). Picture 3594 shows another milestone. This took a little while but I figured out to put the 1st gold ratchet wheel and the black spacer on first. Next put the second gold piece already mounted to the silver ratchet wheel with the coil spring and holder in place. These 5 parts go on as one. Keep the spring pinched in place and slide it in the cross column with the cable head holder in the 2 o'clock position. Rotate CCW, you’ll feel the spring tensioning, until you get to 10 o'clock and then things should press together. More shots of this phase are shown in 3595-97.
I missed a photo of the next stage in assembly, that is re-loading the small spring that is hiding behind the silver plastic cover (3535-36 disassembly). I used the roll pin to pull the spring down and then snap the gray plastic cover on. By the time I had it finsihed it was all covered up (3599). The gold plate and nut held everything together at this point. The last step was pretty much to put the large shift lever on. It has one large coil spring that needed to be pre-loaded. This was easy after all the prior steps and because I had a small roll pin. Unloaded, the spring tab rests in the 10 o'clock position but needs to be moved CW to the 2 o'clock position. Once there, pinch the lever in place and it will hold. Put the outer nut on, put the philips screw on in the back, and then the tense part of the shifter assembly is over. After that put the shifter back onto the brake mount and replace the rubber hood. The shifter should be in the highest gear position. Try clicking through the range.
Verdict: The shifter still sucks. I put it back together correctly (which was an accomplishment) but there was too much internal friction still. The clicks are there but the internals are not free to move about without impacting other internals. Unfortunately disassembling, cleaning, and regreasing couldn’t solve the problem in this case. I don’t know is something else was bent or if i tightened the two inner nuts too much. It was still an interesting learning experience though.

I'd planned a photoshoot with Jessica, but it was going to rain. After verifying that the person I'd been wanting to do a rain shoot with for months wasn't available, I suggested to Jessica that we just go ahead and shoot in the rain. Camera still works, and I'm reasonably sure that the cold and the wet didn't kill Jessica, so I'm calling it a win.
