    New to me anyway.

    I got 4 emails today, 3 of them official looking, saying my account had been suspended, blocked or deleted due to unauthorized access. The email itself didn't raise any alarm bells, and it included a link to login to rectify. The webpage looked good, but the address was totally wrong - not Craigslist at all.

    The 4th one came in the form of someone complaining to me that my listings were somehow on their account, with a link that looked like a link to an ad. The link goes to another login screen, again, with the wrong URL.

    Keep your eyes open.

    Ah, serves me right for putting a normal email address in the ad. Fortunately it's a throwaway created just for that ad, so it's not bugging me too much. Just thought I'd give a heads up.

    The only two things in life that make it worth livin' are guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women.

    And wow - just noticed my spam filter caught about 10 more in the past 12 hours.

    Much appreciated as some stuff is about to go on CL, triumph GT6 parts and some stuff for a sailboat.

    Whatcha Sellin', TR5?

    Intake manifold with carbs and some linkage. Carbs need to be rebuilt, of course.

    Sorry, I could kinda justify some GT6 front brakes/spindles for one of my Europa projects.

    How about large high-load, never used Harken snatch blocks, one with trunion joint one without. They're used on medium-sized sailboats.

    Don't think those would work on my AMF Force 5. I could use a few square feet of sale to use for patching, though. Damn rats.

    How much for the snatch blocks?

    How much material do you really need? I might be able gather some from a sail making buddy. Are you just looking for dacron?

    Yeah, kinda, I guess. I really don't know what the material is called. It is just whatever the Force 5 came with. Some kind of synthetic material. I had it all stored neatly in the bag in my shed and the damn rats took over the shed and chewed holes in my sail, along with other stuff. I capped their asses when I found out. As for how much, I dunno. A couple of square feet should be enough I guess. I think they just got one area.
