I can not be trusted to order things apparently 😒. I got in a hurry to order a trickle charger and ordered the wrong one. It will still work, but I looked at how small the box was and then I took it out of the box and was like what in the world. Its a battery tender JR.... this might take forever.

I'm going to bed before I'm tempted to order a different one.

@RedneckGrump I have been tossing most things, there has been mice through it. The "stuff" has been a point of contention for years, so I don't have a problem tossing it. I'm not patient when it comes to people picking things up that I give away.
Thanks for answering the trickle charge question, that was what I needed. @Spicoli43 I have never used one so I wasn't sure about settings and such. I don't remember seeing any instructions in the box, but I will give it a gander again.

Work day is almost over, last break of the day. Excited for a day off tomorrow!!

Actually, yesterday I was watching videos from Lehto's Law and he was discussing just that scenario!
Cash transactions of $10K or more get reported to the Feds.
People didn't do anything wrong but authorities happened to noticed they had a lot of cash and grabbed it. They sued to get it back, but the local people said they turned the cash over to the Feds and didn't have it. Even though judge ordered them to give it back. So they had to start over and sue the Feds. Feds claim they can't be sued. Feds drag everything out forever. Cost to sue is more than the thousands of dollars in cash. Plus there's all sorts of weirdness involved: Feds have legal precedent to show they can not only sue people but also sue inanimate objects such as cash. Also, the locals turned the original cash into a check that went to the Feds, so nobody knows where the actual missing cash actually is that the people want back... and they can't sue for the check because they never had it... etc... etc... etc...

So, I guess I really missed a headache... Got the money without an issue, paid for the truck, and got the truck... Maybe I am on someone's watch list now... Who know's??
 
Buzz, Lehto's law is an excellent YouTube channel in my opinion, and yeah he talks about civil forfeiture a lot. Spicoli, unfortunately abuses happen all the time without law enforcement (local or otherwise) getting sued, as I pointed out to Havasu once on here. Successful suits happen so rarely they make the news, and that's when Lehto talks about them in his videos. He doesn't get into how it can all be traced to Joe Biden, and I can't blame him because that would inadvertently politicize his channel, plus he usually doesn't get into the history of the law, but it is a connection I think many people would be shocked to learn. Our country would be in better shape if people were aware of civil forfeiture and the way it misaligns incentives, turns communities and law enforcement against each other, etc. Okay, stepping off my soap box now...

Taking my 5yo to his first baseball practice today, then hoping to cook ribs (also a first, for me).

@Spicoli43 my other charger is a knockoff of that. It has sat for about 2.5 years without a charge and I tried charging it with an extension cord, but it doesn't do a thing..... MY BAD.

Workday is up in 5 minutes.. woot woot

How long did you charge it? Does it have indicator lights that tell you when it's charged? Stanley Fat Max is a pretty inexpensive peace of mind, especially with Winter closing in.
 
I would sue the Government without a lawyer... I would include in the suit a few Million as a penalty and interest. Just need to win the Jury.
 
@Flyover I will have to check that channel out.
@RedneckGrump This is what I ordered Battery Tender JR High Efficiency 800mA Battery Charger. Robot or human?

@Spicoli43 it was plugged in for 4 days. My son has apparently moved it somewhere because its not sitting where I had it.

Gotta head to Sam's for a couple of things this morning, then I am gonna make beef stew in the crockpot and hopefully be a little lazy today. I mean I'm kinda lazy every day, just trying to actually PLAN for lazy today because I work the next 3 days.

Hope everyone has a Great Sunday!
 
Well good morning Ladies, Gentlemen...
Well, we are supposed to be going to an old friend from work... we stayed in touch after our accident... You know when you are at work, and you meet lots of people, and some of those people you go out for a beer or two together... and always talk to... But then one of you leaves because of retirement, sick leave, or disability... and you will never hear from again... That is a work acquaintance... Never was a friend... Well, I learned that the hard way... But a lot of people from work, we have turned out to be true friends... We visit one another, drop in and have a coffee with one another. or a beer... talk about the old days of work, etc... Well we are supposed to be going to a Buddy from work's place, he wants to have Lorie and me over for the BBQ, and meet the rest of his family... So if we don't both go because of Lorie's dental surgery... I might go on my own... Time will tell in a few hours...

Well, I hope YOU all have a great Sunday, rest those who can... Enjoy the day the best YOU can...

Cheers~ God Bless YOU all
Mike

Don't know if that USA $10K law is in Canada where you are...
In USA, you can also be prosecuted if caught for taking out less than $10K a couple times to avoid being reported above $10K...
Lehto is in Michigan where they do something they don't do in Ohio... in Michigan, if a cop gives you a traffic ticket, he asks how much money you have on you.... if it's a lot, he may grab it... if it's as much as or almost as much as the ticket, he takes it and you go free to go to court or pay the rest... if you don't have much money he takes you to jail and someone has to come and bail you out...
The first time a Michigan cop asked me how much money I had on me, I felt like I was in an old Grade 'B' movie or TV show... or 1930's Germany...

The Feds would simply appeal to SCOTUS and evil SCOTUS recently passed a rule that regular people can't bring cases before SCOTUS any more...
 
I got an email from Chewy the other day saying they missed me and here's some great offers or whatever, same dried dead garbage Dog food that I used to buy, which got me thinking about the food I make for the Dog in the crock pot... I make enough for 4 days, two of these glass storage containers plus what's left in the crock. Refrigerating it makes the fat easy to remove...

This is Human grade all Organic vegetables with the Beef being Grass Fed / Finished... I could eat it, but I think my Dog would give me a real weird look. I do wonder if it would taste good though after a night in the fridge? I guess it's like any other leftovers, just weird sounding to me for some reason.

I only add one Supplement to his food, Artemisinin... He HAD a Baseball sized tumor on each side by his Armpit, which was Lung Cancer. I don't know about the Cancer, but the tumors are gone now. I'll have to take him to the vet for an X-Ray. I will take Artemisinin myself if I have any hint of problems...

I'll have to add artemisinin to my topical mix for skin cancer and actinic keratosis treatment.

Well, not sure why they can arrest you when it's your money... Your savings... That doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense...

And if you guys don't want me here... Just say the word...
 
@RedneckGrump you're fine right where you are.... buzz just likes to try to ruffle feathers about religion. Just ignore him on that aspect. To each their own with opinions. I personally enjoy the topic, but respect others who don't..... even if the have to point it out all the time. Thats OK also.


I just plugged my tiny battery up to the equally tiny charger. I'm gonna go put dinner in the crockpot and then come back out to check on it. I don't really know how long it needs to charge, probably several hours minimally. I'm not going to leave it plugged in and unattended though. I don't need any new problems.


I also got a good deal in lowes today. I will share it later when I have less going on.

The roots of the law probably go back to the anti-racketeering efforts from Prohibition, which might explain why laws like that, at least, don't plague Canada. For us it was a way to put mobsters in jail without having to do the hard work of catching them committing actual crimes. But it was still pretty limited regulation and then they re-legalized alcohol. Then in the 1970s right as everyone was panicking about junkies returning from Vietnam there was this senator from New Jersey who wanted to look tough on crime and he found a bill that was meant to attach to this old anti-racketeering law. He picked it up, dusted it off, and powered it through Congress. He didn't mind that it caused a lot of problems for society's lowest rungs and he didn't mind that it gave the government a reason to never terminate one of our worst policies since slavery, because at least he got to say he was tough on crime. He did a similar thing in the 90s too, in response to all the additional crime his bill created since the 70s. It makes perfect sense, really, once you know the history.

Baseball got cancelled but I am making the ribs.
