I have issues with sales because my VPN or block lists won't allow a connection to finalize a sale. Its a PITA!!!

@Serea71 how about going to a public library computer and trying the sales from there?

I thought about that and tried it on my phone and it still wouldn't go through

I would but the closest library is like 45 minutes away 2 towns over and no vehicle at the moment. I tried using my phone and even that didnt work.

Try asking Futaba to simply send you a PayPal invoice.

 

[Serea71]

Still going through this nonsense. I can't believe it's giving me such a fit over a $30 dollar transaction. Futaba said they'll call me back in a few minutes.

another update, their website guy is looking into it and will call back in about an hour.

That's what I wanted to do in the first place but they dont accept it

I have a friend who has what is essentially a polished bowling ball for a head at the ripe old age of 26. I send him every single hair growth ad I see on Facebook.

I always slick shave my head. During the winter I let it grow out, cauz it's warmer. I have more head than hair still

Right now I look like Tom Hanks on the desserted island.

My beard absolutely keeps my face warmer out in the cold!!!

Went to the bank in person and FINALLY it went through.

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

Working on my hot wheels Guinevere van mod and the new wheels I bought aren't wide enough for the chassis. Time to part out another car for it's wheels

*I should proofread better. Lol

Hopefully, it doesn't get handed off to USPS and has to go through Indiana

Or Phoenix...

Or Phoenix...

Or New Jersey, or North Carolina. I am seeing longer than usual delays from all of these. Nothing like Indy, but places the packages normally move through in a day or two are now taking 2 or 3 days.

Indy has become a craps shoot. Some packages flow right through there, but if you see one stay there more than 2 days, plan on at least a week delay, with that averaging around 2 weeks, at least for me. It's about 1 in 5 or 6 packages that get hung up.

Yea, it's hard to avoid those bottleneck hubs lately. I was just super grateful my LC when through Denver

I order my cigars online. I wasn't even thinking I should have ordered my supply a few weeks ago. A package with my order left NC nearly 3 days ago and have yet to hit Indy. I am praying they make it through there quickly. I'm nearly out

 

[Doom!]

I'm sure the fire department has a way. I would have let them handle it.

That's exactly what I was thinking local fire department would get the power dept guys butts in gear.

Well I was fixing.my.scx10 crawler and thought that a rod end came off and was going to have to wait when I order a new one but it turns out the rod end was still attached to the servo and it just had separated from the ends. That's My daily rant

Rant on marshalling at the track.

Don't be lazy and go out and MARSHALL

Last round I marshalled 3 times, besides my 2 races. In the 2nd round and after my 2 races I just had to sit down as I felt a bit dizzy. And race director kept calling my name and I'm like there 3 other guys next to me that aren't racing until next race and doing nothing. Like do your dang jobs. I help around out here and I try my best. Not my fault people or lazy. Or how about just run on how many Marshalls are already out there.

Or just honestly, hire PAID Marshalls and this issue wouldnt be an issue.
