    New scam tactic: Close to a hundred emails such as website sign ups to mask the fraudulent charge on your card.

    Good catch. I also have the two factor auth. The use of spamming emails to overwhelm someone. An elderly person maybe. That was the interesting bit. Because it happened before, it actually tipped me off.

    New scam tactic: Close to a hundred emails such as website sign ups to mask the fraudulent charge on your card.

    In the matter of 20 minutes, paypal had determined that the charges were fraudulent and refunded the charges. The charge had already appeared on my credit card used for paypal and now it shows the same amount as refunded. Great service from paypal.

    New scam tactic: Close to a hundred emails such as website sign ups to mask the fraudulent charge on your card.

    For the second time, a fraudulent charge was made on my CC. This time via paypal. The last time was through the costco online program. I caught both but here is the tactic used to try to mask the fake charge. The thief signed me up for many different web services. Forums, online stores, anything...

    Working or not working between Christmas and New Years?

    Warehouse labor here. We had Christmas eve and Christmas off, weekends off, and New Years eve and New Years off. I'm good with that. Sucks they land in the middle of the week but I've had to work through holidays before so I'll take it and smile.

    Tool Talk

    It's not so cut and dried any more, brand wise. My Dad started me out with a craftsman mechanics set @ 18. Probably so I would stop using his tools. I still have all of the wrenches and sockets. Ratchets have been replaced by a blackhawk and some HF Pittsburg ones that I use all the time. I...

    Tucker Gott - Paramotor flight over glamis...

    Not trying to talk you out of the interest at all. I had briefly considered buying a used motor and wing. It seems like you need to go all in and practice practice practice. Like any proper flight training. I decided I didn't have the desire to spend so much time on what was essentially a whim...

    Tucker Gott - Paramotor flight over glamis...

    While simple looking, they require quite a bit of training to fly safely and even then, the community loses some pilots with lots of hours often. I have no affiliation with these guys. It was the first hit of a google search. https://arizonaparamotor.com/

    Harbor freight badlands winch, 40% off tomorrow (Thurs.) with coupon.

    Right on. Glad to get the info out. My store showed the apex 5500lb long drum w/ synthetic line that I wanted as in stock so I dropped in after work and sure enough, it was there and I bought it for $169 OTD. MSRP was $259. Doesn't look like many people were buying winches as they still had some...

    Harbor freight badlands winch, 40% off tomorrow (Thurs.) with coupon.

    https://www.harborfreight.com/12-days-of-deals They will probably all be gone in the first half hour so I will miss out but if you are in the market and can get there early, they seem to be a stout winch. This is any badland but not the other winch models.

    Where to Buy Storage Container?

    I looked at both sites when buying my 20'. I picked one off of craigslist. I used a credit card just in case of a scam but the deal was flawless.

    If a utility is fined, it passes its costs onto its customers. The other utilities take notice and raise rates. The amount of electric cars here is staggering. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/cpuc-imposes-largest-ever-penalty-of-19b-on-pge-for-northern-california/577625/

    It depends on the generation. 10-current, it seems everyone wants to make a sports sedan. Even the Japanese buick avalon got firmer. The GS is firmer than the ES but I wouldn't ever describe it as sportscar like.

    Consider a gs350 also. The FWD ES is a pain in the ais to do rear cylinder sparkplugs on. The GS being rear wheel drive is much easier and/or cheaper if you have a mechanic work on your vehicles.

    Rav4 LE non hybrid is the base model. This should be the last year of this generation so proven engine, motor, trans, etc. Lots sold so lots of parts out there and lots of mechanics know how to service them. I bought my parents a 2022 mid tier XLE premium hybrid and they love it. It's a pretty...
