I bet he got more than that. My youngest son is awaiting trial for reckless driving over a similar accident in his Mom's car.  I kind of like our sheriff, but he seems to one of those "accidents don't just happen" guys.  I blame the boy's accident on the poor condition of the road ( poor maintenance, not bad weather) & an 18 year old kid driving to fast & not paying enough attention to the road. I would consider that negligent driving, but not reckless. The difference if we convince th jury is a lower fine, no jail time, & no forfeiture of licence.

[The Trinity Kid]

Thanks for the coffee, LR.  Well, my confuser is....decommissioned. I was watching a catfishin' video on the Youtube, and BAM! my conputer froze up, then went to a site that was almost convincingly "The U.S. Department of Cyber Crime."  But, my pappy is the big-wig computer tech-guy for the county, and he got to work on it.  Turns out, I bumped the mouse and hit an ad that was alink to a virus.   Now I have to use the same computer as the rest of the family.  Uh-oh, sister wants on...

I'm sure you've heard it before, but when we were your age, there was no such thing as YouTube, or the interweb, or eve the "information superhighway". I think you could find fishin'on tv, but I don't know, I was out fishin'.

Nope not me.


It is a wonder sometimes how cautious I am about people that I let this one go too far.  As some or most of you know we are moving and so we are downsizing. I have been listing items here and at another site where I trust most people with my life. However I have been listing things on Craigslist. I know what your all thinking. I am one of those also. I have had some mysterious people respond and blown off by the way they did so. I have had many genuine buyers also respond. All of whom responded with payment in the manner I had requested.  Two weeks ago a person claiming he was a Sgt in the Air Force stationed with Host unit at Kandahar AB in Afghanistan. emailed and wanted to purchase a item I had listed. He asked if he could text me. (Flag) Eventually I gave him the phone number. I as all the buyers I come in contact request a USPS money order, something I learned off of Gunbroker. Might be the only thing I learned.  I explained to him that other than cash I would not release the item till any other payment cleared the banks. Since this item is quite heavy I told him unless someone was going to pick it up for him that he would also be responsible for shipping expenses on his dime. I would box and seal it only. I also went on like I have done on all sales when I had an agreement to by edited the listing as sale pending. He asked for me not to do this since he was buying this as a surprise for his friend. (FLAG) A week later he text me and tells me that he has sent the funds by certified check however the mail carriers car broke down and it would take a couple extra days. He also when on and told me to keep the amount we agreed upon and what I needed for handling and let him know so he could have me send it to his agent.(FLAG). I told him at this time I was not his boy and he would have to contact his own shipper that I would return the check when it arrived. I don't have time for nonsense. I get a text 2 days I had blown this guy off and had planned on renewing the item that evening when I get a text with a tracking number. From Texas. The next day a envelope from Hawley Texas arrived with a certified(just typed in in the memo line) check from a Bank in Vermont.  (Flag Flag) The name of the bank was also just typed in at the top however they had listed as a legitimated bank or savings and loan. However they spelled savings "savins" (Flag) the senders name was also typed in and was different than whom I was told he was but from Hauge NY (Flag) then to top it all off the once 150 buck sale I have a check for $1900(ding ding ding ding ). So after work I went to my bank and the manager on duty looked up the Savins and loan, she also caught the spelling, and called them to confirm. This was a piece of worthless paper. So I thanked her for her assistance and went over to "76" that's what the Sheriffs office here is referred to. and talked to the K9 officer on duty there at the time. Who got the initial info and called a detective in. So if you don't know how the scam plays out. This is it in a nut shell you cash the MO or fake check and send money from your account to the crew working the scam by different names. In the mean time the fake bounces and you are held liable for the one you sent off. For what good it was I saved the emails in a file and I did not delete the phone messages . I did not cash theirs and did not send the balance to anyone else.The detectives are not hopeful but will work the fraud case as it is. I did have more information saved than most I was told. So today the person sent me a text, and said he seen by the tracking number I had received the check. I then came uncorked on him.
The sheriff deputy shared this one with me also
The other Scam is the used car at a unbelievable low price, (recently divorced or overseas for a couple of years) send the money and they will send the title to you. After they pay the bank the balance.


Anyways i am not out any money just wasted my time doing something I could have used the time to something else with.


I have 4 work days left


Stu I agree

[Texas Lawdog]

I'm familiar with that one. The Wife is a Craig's lister & too & was shopping for a camper - found one rediculously low priced in Montana. Sellers was in the army, in Afghanistan, several flags later she did a search for the same model & found two more adds with the same picture, of he same camper, in he same driveway, in two other states. She didn't send any money, but didn't call the sheriff either.

I by you love Montana, it's out here in God's Country. If you travel I-80 you won't miss my driveway by 20. Maybe we could get a chance too meet in real life.

[litl rooster]

Thanks Stu...we have traveled 80 many times across there. Normal stop in Kearney at Platte Valley Saddlery and Cabelas before we would head thru Wyoming. I have had taken 90 across one winter and got blizzard in, in Jamestown ND. Once in Sheridan Wy. also. It will depend on the forcast that week. Since I will be driving a UHaul with my Jeep in Tow, I don't want to take any chances. She is going to drive her car. Before i leave I will get your info.

Tex I know this fella that sells pretty hats with flowers and dead birds in them and long handles with trap doors

[litl rooster]

Morning Coffee is up

[Texas Lawdog]

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. I worked in feed lots in the winter in the Panhandle of Texas and Oklahoma while I attended College up there. The temps were plenty cold enough for me back then. I know it will much colder in Montana. Don't be a stranger, keep in touch. You will be missed, my friend.
