ddm502001 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 (edited) Thank you for that. Did contact the attorney we use for Farm where he noted all the Card Companies understand what figures they can adjust out or void altogether, they also have a flock of on staff lawyers that do nothing but drag the hearings on these larger challenges out for Months and repetitive courts events to cost the challenger out of the value. His notation, accept the loss, claim against taxes or just buck up and move on. Will not get it back, would spend far more for litigation that can achieve as refund. So off we go on that path. AMEX cards are already Closed, just paying that balance off, Visa accepted the loss as a Fraud event and moved on, still have that one. Bought a RFID Wallet, make certain each use are in it, and are in my pocket now, a lot paranoid of it all as remembered had been in a hurry, was fumbling around with the hoist and trolley, taking stuff out to the car pulled gloves from the pocket had hurriedly dropped the cards into as when removed from my old wallet were stuck together as usual. Not a second thought to recovering them at the time as Knew were Safely in that pocket. As to that 'Approval' that AMEX had sent to me, have friends in IT departments, asked if had a Passcode or Face ID on my old phone, said was available just found it inconvenient. My fault there as well. As to Iphones from a Tech, if the cards were picked up or pick pocketed by one of the more intelligent less desirable, all had to do was follow as we moved to the Grocer after HF, get within a Few Feet with my phone active and can Clone it, unseen, discriminately, one of the easier "Skims" that happen. For cards, if are using a card reader at a store, as soon as swipe and log the code to access, they can have those as well from a few feet away. Cloned phone, can redirect ALL inbound calls for a period of time, yet if slip out of range or out of a region and phone connectivity that reverts to most active phone. Today Skimming Scamming Thieves are so far advanced could be paid well by most industries for IT security, just easier money to steal from someone else. What was purchased were $1000 and $500 Gift Cards, also access our VENMO and PAYPAL accounts, set up a Bogus Bank account, sent money that was then recalled and sent to that bogus account. Bank checked those transactions, cannot recall electronic Wire payments or refunded moneys to bogus Temporary accounts these people immediately close out. The notes above are just words to the wise, a warning to remain vigilant on guard. Dave Edited March 31 by ddm502001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aknavy Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Got a new windshield put in after driving it with a huge spiderweb of cracks for a year. Also put Dynamat and Dynapad in the cab, followed by stock rubber floor and a layer of carpet. While it's plush and clean, it only dropped the sound at idle 4 DB. It does sound noticeably quieter driving. Also put a Gen 2 door panel in on my passenger door. The old panel didn't take to -15 F very well and broke pretty badly. Other than the power window switch, it's a painless swap. The panel I bought came with a switch that was bad, so I had to finagle it.

ddm502001 Posted Saturday at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:03 PM (edited) So, installing Reese Style rails for a Detachable Hitch?, Very nice work so far. I had to R&R my Right Fuel Tank, had considered doing this very repair while had tanks off to move mounts to OE Locations, is what I deserve for being Cheap. Is called Strapping a Tank, where corrosion sets in along the retainer strap and/or saddles for the tank support, eventually begin to Seep, was defined as begun. Weld shop pressure checked and found two other pin holes one of those is the small square to the Left, the other is on the bottom not pictured. End result after sand out and polishing. Segmented Tank, forward half is an unused Hydraulics Tank, still has a PTO on the trans just no pump or lines or controls for hydraulic system.

jenandjon Posted yesterday at 06:34 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:34 PM Leaving for Florida May 20 or 21 so I started getting everything ready. Sometime between now and then I have to plant another 800 acres of soybeans. Attend 2 scouting events, Wife's 40th birthday party attend 2 graduations and do a bunch of stuff I probably forgot about. I changed oil and greased. Only put on 6,000 miles in 3 years. Getting tools and generator packed up. 7000 k Kubota generator was giving me a little trouble bogging down on the last trip. I got that back from the dealer. There was problem with the fuel pump. We should be good there now. I'm still bringing my little 3500 Brute gas generator for redundancy. I have plenty of room for it since I junked the old Onan out of my side box. The Kubota is too big, so it has to ride on the bed. Camper is still at the shop. A tree fell on it last fall. Just grazed it but I got 6K in insurance money. So, I had them coat the roof and repair a little spot of the fiberglass that got busted. Replace the water heater and tv antenna then they found that the rear AC was shot so replace that. Dumped in a little over $5,000. What's left of the insurance money will go to the principal on the loan. Couple years ago, I got a new fridge and beefed up the suspension. With A little help from Chad, Wandering Dave and Mr. Cob, I got 2 AGM batteries and an inverter installed to run the beer fridge. All that is still working just fine. We should be good for a while.
