Good morning!!!!

Reading some more the number 22000 is used by google to send verification codes. Not sure exact how that transfers to apple, but definitely a scam to get access to your account.
What number does it show the txt came from?

It's just plain crazy, Drew. A while back they stopped allowing people to register Diesel trucks over a certain age. Earlier this year they outlawed sales of new devices that use small gas engines, like string trimmers and blowers. Trying to force everyone to go with electric/battery power.

Even crazier, last summer they issued alerts asking people not to charge their electric cars in the afternoon and evening because the grid wouldn't support it. Yet they still want to limit sales of gas engined vehicles.

For the brand new RAM van I just bought, I had to have it smog tested here in Kalifornia, even though it meets emissions regs in all 50 states. Sez so right on the sticker.

The inmates are clearly in charge of the asylum.

Sorry, but it figures...

WE HAVE RAIN!!!!
102˚ outside and the drops are evaporating in about 2 seconds. This is the pic with the most rain showing. Humidity still 32%. keeping our fingers crossed for some more.
edit: 10 minutes later humidity down to 31% and temp has gone up to 103˚.
The drops must have missed the Tempest rain gauge which goes by drops not accumulation, it is still showing no rain.

yay!

It doesn’t look great for the future…

California county that banned 100LL to be first in FAA lead-free transition

The FAA has invited Santa Clara County airports to participate in the first-ever demonstration evaluating the best practices for transitioning airports to unleaded aviation fuel. This county had banned the sale of leaded avgas in airports in 2022.

My work planes all burn kerosene, but not my little ones. Any replacement has a lot of regulatory hurdles.

Figures...
Kalifornia has set the standard for costing the rest of the nation a quadzillion dollars on all things CARB related.

We officially have had our first rain of the Summer. .05" not an extreme drought breaker but very welcomed indeed. We are actually below 95˚ before midnight, temp 76˚.

Yay again! WE GOT NONE. I could smell it, and we got some really high gusts....but not a perceptible drop.

72 outside this AM. May touch 80. 91% humidity. Maybe some rain later. Hopefully.

Busy weekend. But I did manage to get up on the roof of the Milk House and remove part of the chimney to below the roof line. Unfortunately it was exhausting. Legs all bent out of normal directions, hip, knees. Dang. Need to take up some serious stretching going forward. Just exhausting.

Today and this week I will attempt to remove the chimney bricks in the attic. Hopefully it remains below 90 so I can work up there.

Hope all have a great day, a good start to the work week. Be safe. Those ailing, wishing you get better.

WOW! DIY chimney removal. I knew you had it in you! Be careful up there.

Good Evening Guys,
So I’m wondering if any of you guys have tried to sell anything on FB Marketplace ?
Earlier today I listed two toddler push cars. I’ve been texted twice by different people that asked if the items were still available. I said they were and then they asked for my cell number which I thought was Ok to give that out ! Then they say they want to text me a 6 number code. I didn’t see a problem with that , but when they texted me the code 22000, on my phone a message comes up that says this is your Apple ID, do not give this code to anyone ! So if I had texted the number back they would have my Apple ID , along with some other info that I’m pretty sure I don’t want to give out !! Then just a few minutes ago the same thing happens again !
And all I'm trying to do is sell some inexpensive children toys that the kids have outgrown !
I think it might be easier to just put an add in the paper, with a phone number !! Any thoughts on all of this madness ??
Thanks !!

Don't give out anything. Only communicate on FB marketplace. If they ask for anything, be suspect. Cash in hand works.

Ron, thanks for the pics. The moon has acne.

Prayers for Buppies and wife, for knees, sore necks/joints, our country, peace around the world.

I have messages from 22000. It’s the number google uses to send you 2 factor authentication. They need the code sent from that number to access your google account. They are trying to access your account.

 

[Buppies]

Sounds like CBS news hype to me but I’ve been wrong before Don

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Just found out that on FB, when they switched and became Meta, they opened the security on my account so anyone can see it. I had it set to only friends could see my posts. I wondered because I posted about a stolen tractor in Ohio, and I started getting spammers replying. Had to button it up again. Makes me want to cuss.

The few things I have put on FB marketplace I listed the location where it would be available and the hours it would be available until sold. I said that if the ad is up the item is available and I will not be responding to texts or messages asking if it's available. Cash on the Spot! People who wanted those items called and left a message that they were on the way with cash. When they came and paid I immediately took the item off Marketplace. I did not have anyone show up after the initial ones who called and said they were on the way.

It seemed to work ok when I did that. One time a guy called and asked if I would deliver an item. It happened to be on the way to a place I needed to go so I said I would deliver it and he should be outside with the cash in hand when I got there in 10 minutes or so. When I drove up he came up to the truck and looked in the bed and "OK, I'll take it". He just stood there like I was going to unload it for him. I asked for the money. He smiled like he had been caught and gave it to me so I unlocked the tailgate and he reached in and put it on the ground. Thank You and Have A Nice Day says I.

Coffee has been poured. 50° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 77° with afternoon thunder storms. Yesterday was a day of redo's. Sent Sassy out for her morning yard tour. She came back with green legs from grass clippings. Cleaned her up and made plans to cleanup of clipping in afternoon. Friend came up with a suggestion to redo jump seat on Mule arm rest. Spent way to many hours making brackets for arm rest and pole rack. Then cleanup of grass clipping Slept very good last night.
Going to be conserve energy day.
Flowers have bugs.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
cloudy day high of 80, expected rain but it's holding off until tonight.
Fine with me, I'm off with motorhome at 8am to car radio place to get the rv radio/back up camera fixed.
I'm hoping if it's not raining, maybe they could put some better speakers in the front doors.

radio place in crowded business district. Had to use google maps to make sure I could get to their back door. Yup, looks fine.

Google Maps

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

www.google.com

place has been in business since early sixties, I remember taking my first car there in 1971 to get better speakers.

when I had my electronics business here in mid 80's, I did not do car stereo, did not want to get involved in installs.
So I sent business down to these folks. I wonder if any of the old timers remember.

If I didn't need an install, I would buy from Crutchfield. I have found them to be outstanding, the LL Bean of electronics.
And often the same price, with free shipping. And today we pay state sales tax no matter where we buy things.

slept really well last nice, nice to get up rested

Sassy needs to save her green legs for St. Patrick's Day

68 this morning high low 80s 1.77 inches of rain this week still need more more on the way later today we still need it pond not moving up yet

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country
