    Just turn auto updates off and install Malwarebytes. Best Anti virus ever and it’s free if you’re ok with just a scanner and no actual active prevention. I’ve killed plenty of viruses with it.

    One old VW died, Cattlemans expert eld logging, and some actual wood splitting logging. Lots of gravy. Weather reports. Back road routes.

    I bought a new computer. My old one was really slow. It only had, new egg installed, and abs. Abs, is the maker of the computer. No bloat ware. It plays world of tanks very quickly.

    My old system fps 55 then in battle 8 fps. The new one 190 to 220. Then in battle , I haven't looked because it doesn't seize.

    Was a slick SOB on all the bridges in the area of Cleveland and Akron, OH in the wee hours this morning. Was a wreck at MM 210 on I-71 North... Looked like a car lost it on a bridge with a slight curve and slight down hill. Either the car spun into a Big truck... Or truck was following to close. Front of both vehicles were smashed, the car was really smashed. It ended up on the left shoulder, the truck jack-knifed with tractor on right shoulder... trailer blocking 2 right hand lanes about 20 yards past the bridge.

    It had the making of a mega pileup because the lights on the truck were dark, the one cop was on the left shoulder with blinding lights going. Naturally you want to shift to the right, but if you came over that bridge going more than 20 mph you wouldnt have been able to stop or correct quick enough by time you saw the blocked lanes. I lost traction and got a little squirrely amd I started slowing down half a mile before the bridge because I saw 2 big trucks with brake lights on. The one was still sliding and pointing to the ditch, but was able to get stopped just in time. All three of us were able to get around the back of the trailer before the scene got all crazy.

    My Trucks been shutting down after a wash or rain. Low coolant code. I’ve battled this problem for 11 yrs. Replacing sensors, finally the pigtail. Had it fixed for about 4 yrs. I tried to spray water to find a broken wire. Replaced pigtail again. Yesterday I got Lucky, it shutdown for no reason. I was able to unplug, and plug it in a few times, replicating the shutdown. Half the time without a code. Then jumped the pigtail with paper clip. Bottom line- Bad sensor.Mystery solved. Glad it’s not a broken wire mystery. Today I’ll change it out. One less loose end to worry about.

    What you doing way over here? Thought you stayed out west. We missed most of the snow. It was very windy though 24 wind chill. Today it’s 40s tomorrow 50s then 60s . Almost 70 by next weekend. Crazy weather. Warm up this late is very rare. Glad you didn’t get tangled up in that.
