The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

This whole “we ride at dawn” thing once sounded really menacing and tough.

We didn’t know where we were going, but heads were gonna roll. We were gonna kick some ass and take names.

But it quickly dissolved everyone kinda doing their own thing, leaving when they wanted to and now…

A bio break and snack break logistical nightmare! 😂

In fact, let’s all just stay cozy in our beds…
Wait... Does this mean we're not riding anywhere? 🤣🤣
 
An update after talking to the bank’s fraud department, I froze my account. Now I have a new account, I can’t use it until the laptop is cleaned.

I am taking the laptop to the good shop here that will scan and clean. I drop it off tomorrow and pick it up Monday.

Fortunately the iPhone is not affected. So I can come here. My money is safe now.

The lesson is learned. My GF feels bad but it’s not her fault. Her phone also was not affected. 😮‍💨
I so glad you both are taken care of! 🫂🫂
 
Getting sick of this stuff already.

This new fucking truck decides to take itself OUT of 4WD when it chooses! $$%^&&@$%^$!!!

Today was the third time I've almost wrecked this truck or killed myself because some dumb fuck programmer decides what my truck should do rather than leave it the fuck alone. The fucker asks me if I want to stay in a particular driving mode, and if I respond yes, that it will turn OFF 4WD!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬 I thought you just asked me if I wanted to stay in that mode!

Going straight down a flat stretch of road 55mph (of course our roads are glare ice always) the ass end shot out from under me. This is with Blizzak tires on the thing. If it weren't for my cat like reflexes, I might not be here.

There, that's off my chest now. I feel better.

But this weekend might be time to send some emails. I know a few guys, and maybe they can pass the word along. The sales/repair/warranty/whateverthefucktheythinktheyare guys in the local dealership are fucking useless.

This is one of my buildings. This building has 12' walls. This snow has been untouched by the hand of man.

This is mother nature just trying to crush my shit.

I'm glad you're safe. Can the auto programming be turned off?
 
No, they can't fix it. They can't even do a software update. Their whole system is so screwed up.

The truck keeps saying there's an update. So I click "Download Update", and the very next screen
is that there are no updates at this time. EVERY SINGLE TIME I START THE TRUCK.

Been to the dealer 10 times over this software shit. "We're being told not to do any updates..."

Real soon, I'm going to find the radio module and disable it. They don't need to know where I am, or how I drive, or break my truck worse. Once that warranty is up, this thing is going radio silent... Big brother can take his update and 1984 them right up his ass!

(OK, apparently I'm not done bitching about this... :LOL )
Take all the time you need... 😅😅

You guys up north know how to drive in the ice and snow. But shit like throwing out of 4 WD at 55 MPH is dangerous. I am glad you know how to dance on ice.

It might the time to trade in that dangerous truck.

BTW those south of you even with AWD forgot about the laws of friction. Spin outs everywhere!😮
 
I was able to blow most of it off the deck and grill tent with my trusty Makita. The driveway was a different story. Some of that I kind of made a path with a broom. The steps I scraped off and then swept. So if they make it from the driveway without breaking their neck they can get up the steps. Some of the more sensationalized weekend forecasts are for 30-50mph gusts. I am hoping they are wrong.
Those winds came in last night and continue. I was too tired to worry about them.
 
So somehow you were hacked online / from laptop? How was money actually drawn from the account? ATM or credit transaction? I'd be interested to know the type transaction where money changed hands and alerted the fraud. Having a new account will fix that. But you need to plug the hole with more than a password.
Fortunately no money actually left my account. My banks fraud department caught the suspicious activity and stopped the transaction.

According to my computer guy, the attack was designed only on desk or laptop computers. My phone was not infected. But 2 factor authentication stopped it as they don’t have my phone number.

I’m still not sure how they got as far as they did. I might know more later today.
