============================================

Security – If you are concerned about the security of your property, there are a couple of easy solutions. I have a couple of DropCams from dropcam.com. They take very high quality videos. If you subscribe to their recording service for a fee, you get a video record of your property for one week stored on their server. For free you can see live video of your property from anywhere using a computer or smart phone. Installs in less than two minutes! Downsides: Fixed position and it uses about 25% of your upstream bandwidth. There is a built in scheduler and remote on/off. My next is the Moultrie A5 Low Glow Game Camera. It’s a fixed base all weather still camera that takes over 10,000 photos during day or night when the motion sensor is tripped. No remote access on that Game Camera. The street price of the Drop Cam is $150 and $56 for the Game Camera.

Scams - You get an email from your Bank, Paypal, Twitter or Facebook. The email tells you that they have noticed unusual activity on your account. Click on the link to confirm your account information. For some bizarre reason, you clicked on that link (please, never tell your mother that you did that) and you are about to be hacked. For example: If you look close enough at this Twitter example you will see Tvvitter instead of Twitter. The two “v’s” look like a “w” at quick glance especially if I manipulate the fonts. You are about to be scammed! Never click on a link in an email! Go directly to the site.

Backups: You should have a monthly routine to backup your computers! If you have a Ipad or Iphone, it may just be a great idea to signup for ICloud backups. People are taking and storing huge numbers of photos on their mobile devices. Don’t get caught without a backup if your phone is stolen. Android has a similar backup system though their initial signup. I use Helium on my androids for backups. More on backup solutions later, I have to get started on mine and my proof reader just dozed off.

ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.  Thanks for all your responses! From what I can gather, we have two separate issues: 1. Lack of traps and lack of adequate ventilation (particularly offensive where a/c drain was connected to plumbing vent, thank you C&G Builders!). 2. Where there are traps below plumbing, they dry out easily esp when ventilation is not adequate. We cover our drains for both smells and mosquitos, which helps. So, we are installing Mexican drains which have water around them to prevent odors from escaping and we are adding vents where possible. Leslie

FISHING REPORTS - Local's fishing reports do NOT need to be signed.

a.  Kudos to Kaliman up in San Bartolo for his auto body work. He is not only an awesome  craftsman for any size job, but he goes out of his way to work with you to get the job done fast and for a very fair price on your schedule. The job was done in 2 days and the paint matched perfectly, no signs of my accident. He is a master, off road racer, mechanic too.. He is located just off the road after the first big tope going into town. 612-104-8940. CAT
