WDYDT (What Did You Do Today)

[Sammconn]

So I’ve been busy…and cold…

On the way to work this morning.

Found some 14 ply trailer tires. Mounted theee of the four. Need a wheel off the trailer for the fourth.

They are some off shore company but the price was right for a trial of a set.

Regroovable too!

Dang
(the -38F part)

[Sammconn]

It’s square tire weather…literally.
They take a bit to smooth the flat spot out.

And I’m unsure if it’s just been so warm this winter or if I’m getting soft but it sure is cold…

[JR]

I wouldn't even go outside in that!

[oklawall]

What is the wind chill with that? I've worked on airplanes with  -72 deg windchill it wasn't fun.

To be honest it wasn’t too windy but it does add up quick.
Likey in the -50 to 50-something range.

I generally don’t pay “that” much attention as if I’m heading out in that cold I’ll be on a snowmobile or some other form of wind amplifying device.
Wind proof head gear and mitts are a must.

Sold all my porter cable tools today. I have been moving to Dewalt for some time, you can really find deals on open box stuff on Ebay.

12v I have gone to Milwalkee for the compact stuff. I still have some old 12v Craftsman Nextec and a couple Ryobi 18v that are oddball tools, but I have dewalt adapters I can use..

“Open Box” on eBay means all the stuff the theft rings walked out of Home Depot with…

Hey Don. This was in your backyard.  Did you attend??

You don’t think it’s in the pallets of returned junk you can buy from Amazon? Not arguing just asking.

[JR]

Amazon tends to be pricier, had good luck with ebay being cheaper. Used the same seller several times now. I just made an "iffy" buy, but PP gives refunds pretty easy.

[stlaser]

JR, what I’m saying to Charles is maybe the eBay sellers are selling items they bought from amazons returned pallet system and then sell it on eBay versus thieves walking it out of stores and selling on eBay.

Furthermore, the issue isn’t if pp protects your money it’s whether you just bought stolen chit or not.

[JR]

Yes, could be either really. My 2 pending Im not sure of. Other were still a fair price.

[JR]

Bots have been busy today, wow!

[Flyin6]

Bots have been busy today, wow!

Yes they have, I just canned 9!

I submitted a ticket to inquire why so many scammers are getting through the filters.

[JR]

Think I have done 20 now.

I approved 1 a few days back from N Kentucky after an email check.

Dang, another 10 or so, then more showed up. Its out of control!

[TexasRedNeck]

Shawn, entirely possible.  I’m just making hyperbolic statements as more and more theft rings go pro and use reselling sites.

About to land in HRL.  Up close and personal with the border crisis.  Thank God it’s just a day trip.  Hate not being armed while I’m here.  Not even a blade since I didn’t check a bag.

We have an open ticket with the small orange folks to address...

[Flyin6]

For the time being, let's neither approve not reject any new member requests.

I want the "small orange" folks to see what I am talking about.

[JR]

Ouch, another 25 or so this am. Just deleted the email.

TRN, buy a throw away when you get there. If its nice, just mail it home!

Got up to 32
I'm seeing some countries I did not know existed!
Today Iceland, Malta, Afghanistan, Bahamas...

[JR]

Yeah, I just did another 25 or so, crazy.

What was the country in World Police, Jerkistan?

[oklawall]

Don,

Are we still holding off on looking at the new member applications or are we cleaning them up? There are only 5 waiting now so I think you all have been clearing them out but the last I saw was to not touch them so the orange people would see them.

[JR]

For my last approval, I sent an email asking for confirmation. Worked fine.

[Flyin6]

I worked with ASO to try and close the hole these mice were getting through. I cannot say if the technicians got it patched, or if a patch is even possible.

What happens, is that the longer you go, your contact/email/address gets circulated. Many bad characters get access to it. Once someone puts you on some dark list that scammers access, then they just use the normal process to get in. Our defense is our approval process. It works in that it stacks applications to join up in a list. Then one of us, and that person is rather random just looks over the list and makes the calls. All of you in the Global Moderator or Administrator status can hire or fire. I get to it a couple of times a day and so do many of you. Collectively we kick the assumed bad ones to the curb.

Not an ideal system, but it is what we have.

You all are free to approve or reject as you see fit, your call. Restrictions are lifted.

Bud lite did that a year ago, went from number one in the country about to the bottom.   Big $$$ hit for them

I knew it was Bud just having fun. Tells you that American values are still there when you have a trans (or whatever) promote a staple product.

FYI, I don't care who you say or think you are. I don't want it shoved in my face or told I have to accept it. If that means I'm a bigot, so be it.

[Flyin6]

^^^^Well said! And I'm sure the exact sentiments of most of us here.

[JR]

I hope so or I wouldn't be here.

You put tires on the new truck yet?

[stlaser]

Neighbor & I scored some cedar raised garden beds. We were able to haul 8 at a time with my dump trailer. & yes men those are in fact 4x4 solid cedar posts!  The units measure 8’ x 4’ x 2’ tall


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Flyin6]

That is indeed, a score!

[stlaser]

Yup, way I figure it just the lumber is right shy of $1k per bed. We paid a 1/10th of that per unit plus add that there’s labor and some large screws included.

[Bob Smith]

Other than corn what are your plans. Hope you are looking for wood and not garden planting area

[stlaser]

Corn? Doubtful, wife has a plan. These will be for a fenced in garden area.

Fence: So Important!

[stlaser]

Absolutely, we have a resident deer population that lives between our homes. Safety and ability to see and sense predators at night along with abundant food source keeps them here. Rarely, we see bucks, mostly does and fawns etc.

Went to the local VFW service unit for help with my VA appeal on my disability. Quoting an old saying that an uncle had said, " they have more red tape than Carter had little pills "

Why does this process have to be so hard?

Done venting. Hope you have a great day

Just get an attorney. Doing that will get it done quicker and you will get to the real decision much faster. The VA wants to get rid of the attorneys, so those claims are processed faster. Plus an attorney can hurt a VA processor. The Attorney studies the law and the regulations, whereas the adjudicators at the VA come and go. Those folks know they are not all that safe when working with an attorney.
So, like I said a paragraph ago, just hire an attorney.

[oklawall]

I may just do that if this appeal doesn't go anywhere

As long as you play ball on their field, they can always control who or what shows up. I'd lawyer up ASAP. These bureaucrats are not improving with age.
I did it with my appeal. Leaving the Army I could not hear well, and I had broken my back twice on deployments. Both knees were shot (In special ops we ran 5-7 miles almost every day and hours in the gym) I suffered spinal compression when the helo I was in crashed in Korea... The VA gave me 0% disability...ZERO!
The first attorney got that to 30 then to 50%. The second one got me to 80% with payments and benefits set at 100% because of the combat-related issues. Three months flash to bang with an attorney, with back pay.
Just sayin...

[Sammconn]

Sheesh. Been quiet here. On my side too at least here.

Did a little moving today.


Little winch action and the 975 pound box on the sleigh.



EZPZ move it was.

About a week out we’re supposed to be either side of freezing.
I’m looking forward to spring.
But got a couple more big loads to haul.
Then I can get to work.

[JR]

Dang, other side of freezing or 0?

And I thought I had a cool thing follow me home (bought a lab oven), you get a mill!
