Scammer? or legit buyer?

After our usual start to the day I got busy with marketing, blogging & tutorial work. S spent the morning on the phone with people then to his biweekly zoom class at 11. B continued her month of relaxation. I have had a person requesting info on products. Some of the conversation has felt spammy but some felt legit. Today they added to their order so I hauled out the items, wrapped and found a box to fit. Got the shipping quotes. They then asked to have art sent to add to the parcel. From Okotoks… hmmmm No sorry. OK how much? I give the total and they say they can not e transfer as they are US citizen?? And don’t have PayPal but they can send a check. A check you say, ok! They then wanted to send the check photos via email…. I now know it is a scam but tease the along. Eventually after more back and forth chat they claim the check in a Canadian check. Well if you have a Canadian checking account you can e-transfer - goodbye. Now to put all the stuff way and be disappointed it was not legit. What a waste of my time ;(

After a bite of leftovers for lunch I ran to town to help Dad with lunch. He was having an “excellent” day he said. Amanda stopped to drop our Badger discount pack. she and I visited while dad napped in his room. The morning was ugly, windy and overcast but now the sun peeked thru. I had a dr appointment, dropped off a library book and grabbed a jug of milk.

The wind howled on way to ranch. S came in from the shop. He had retrieved his clothes out of the trailer, put the merc Alberta plate on his truck and cut some more angle iron. This piece was pounded in by a broken fence post near the house. B had found Bird lost a shoe so searched for it. She had S help her hookup the harrows while she looked. Eventually she found it near the road. She left off and was in her room. We had a cold refreshment.

I cooked another HF meal- chipotle turkey rice bowl. My bowl looked lots different than the other 2 without peppers, cucumbers and onions. It was spicy!! But S loved it. He had a cancer zoom webinar he listened to as we ate and after. Usual evening of TV, computer work, hot tub, reading and Netflix. Britt mixed it up making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Yum!
