Gabe's 2014 Navistar Rodeo

Why, Am I Confused?

Sometimes when Gabe sends me stuff, I think I am losing my mind. You see 2016 has not arrived yet and 2015 is actually 2014. But, then I remember he is from Jersey.

A Note From Tommy

Thanks to all who attended this years G-6 outing at Old Forge, And i want to thank the
Gabrielle,s for the follow up and the pics they sent out. It was great to see everyone and
i am sure it was good times for all ! I would like to suggest that our next "resort area" to
visit, be Grand Turk in the Bahama's ( i could easily stay there for a week and do absolutely
nothing), besides Rum is cheap in the area and there are plenty of different combinations
of cocktails with Rum to satisfy ones thirst. I want to thank Gabe for the Passing of the "Cordials".

Someone gave the gift that keeps on giving, I now have a green oozing pustule on my lip. the doctors said they have only seen this on heavy drinking Russians near the Chernobyl nuclear leakage site. Or from mixing an Odd amount of cordials in one sitting. one of the doctors did say he saw it in a Frankenstein movie once too . All in all, i think i am on the mend cause it only oozes at night now. On a positive note , the Boat ride was relaxing the train ride was relaxing and the company at our meeting and dinner was great . 

Hope to see ya'll soon.

Tommy Boy, (aka; Tommy The Tiger, aka : Anaconda : )

2015 G6 Reunion

Dear fellow Alumni, NADS, and Friends
     

First, I want say that once again we had a successful and fun gathering this year that was hosted by Tom & Kathy Pelow, at Adirondack Lodge, in Old Forge, NY. http://adirondacklodgeoldforge.com/wp/

And I appreciate the efforts made by all who attended.

Some of our activities included: 

Boat tour on the Clearwater http://www.oldforgelakecruises.com/ 

The ladies enjoyed wine tasting at Montezuma Winery  http://www.montezumawinery.com/ , then a lunch at Sister's Bistrohttp://sistersbistro.com/ 

Going to a an antique boat show  http://www.acbs.org/calendar/index.php?eID=779 

Taking a train ride on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad with a lunch stop at Big Moose http://www.adirondackrr.com/ 

Dinner at Van Auken's Inne http://vanaukensinne.com/ 

Lounging in the parking lot with "The Magic Box"  (passing of the cordials)

The annual "Engineering Meeting" was held on Friday 7-10-15, at The Old Mill Restaurant with our personal Barmaid Andrea.  

Discussion and debate topics included:

• "Tommy the Tiger", aka "Anaconda"
• Wives who talk to us like "Dino" http://www.hark.com/clips/chblnnhxwm-dino-barks
• Menopause (this has been a repeated subject matter!)
• Retirement
• Having a 40th anniversary of those for those who graduated from Alfred State College. Since we have graduates from 1977, 78, 79 & 80, the vote was to celebrate this event in 2018. I have volunteered to host this event that will take place in Wellsville. 
• Details of this separate event will be forth coming.

For planning the 2016 gathering which will be July 8-10, 2016, Mike & Peggy Zotter have graciously volunteered, (not pressured),  to host the 2016 gathering. (yes, Peggy has been informed of this)

If you have specific requirements or questions for the 2016 gathering, such as:

             

Needing a mattress that isn't shaped like a sand trap

              

Dietary requirements              

              

How many dollar bills should I bring to the "Engineering Meeting" ?

Will the "Engineering Meeting" location have an ample supply of "Peanuts or Popcorn !!!"

Hosting the "Wives Club" 2016 meeting while the men THINK they are solving world problems 

Will all of our "dinners" be served at the same time at our Saturday dinner event, and that the restaurant isn't out of coffee beans for my Sambuca.             

Is there a hospital close by

Is there abundant parking

Will a "Cabaña Boy" be available for the ladies requirements

 Please forward these concerns to Mike Z. and "Nad Historian" Peggy. 

I hope this finds you all enjoying what's left of the summer, and I will look forward to seeing you in the future.

I will be sending additional emails of photos from our event. 

Sincerely,              

Gabe  

April just picked up her new ride today from the dealership.

Fishing Trip Paul Organized in October on Alex Bay

... i've never seen a group of more manly men! 

Photos from the fishing trip we took out of Clayton, NY (1000 Islands) that Paul organized in October. We met Friday night in Alexandria Bay and went out fishing Saturday morning. We all caught and brought home Northern Pike that was very taste!

Sincerely,
Gabe

We spent all day fishing so we could eat at a restaurant?

Is this a fishing lure or a sex toy?

Must be a female, look at the mouth!

Is that the Gorton fisherman next to the drunk guy?

Americans spent some $263 billion shopping online in 2013, with over $2 billion spent on Cyber Monday alone. This year is on track to be even bigger.

But as you shop for the perfect holiday gift, hackers are shopping for you. This time of year is rife with email scams, deceptive advertising and criminals lurking to steal information from vulnerable devices and unwary shoppers.

"Increasingly, the bad buys are not targeting weaknesses in your computer, they're targeting the user," Brian Krebs, cybersecurity expert and author of "Spam Nation," told CBS News. "They try to make you do things that are not in your best interest."

So what do you need to do to keep your accounts as safe and secure as possible while you're scouring the Web for today's best deals? Here are five smart ways to stay one step ahead of the hackers.

1. Get email savvy
Email isn't the first thing on a digital shopper's mind while hunting for deals -- but maybe it should be.

"Email is the Achilles heel of security," Marc Boroditsky, president of the cybersecurity start-up Authy, told CBS News.

"Never ever click on a URL you receive in an email, especially one from a merchant or bank ... no matter how persuasive that email looks," warned Steve Bellovin, a computer science professor and cybersecurity expert at Columbia University.

Cyber Monday is primetime for phishing, where hackers send you a forged email to trick you into clicking on the link and entering your login and password onto a fake site, which they control. The easiest way to avoid a phishing scam? Just don't click. Instead, type the URL of the site you want to visit directly into your browser.

It's also important to keep your email clean.

Your inbox is a treasure trove of private information. It's full of password reset links, bank statements and other pieces of sensitive information that hackers can use to get access to your money. They can even use seemingly innocuous emails like birthday cards and party invitations to learn your date of birth, home address and other details that could enable them to answer security questions meant to authenticate your identity.

Boroditsky said that there is a simple way to prevent hackers from getting emails you don't want them to have: "Delete them, and proactively manage your email."

2. Use a credit card rather than a debit card
Most issuers of both credit and debit cards will tell you that you're not liable for fraudulent charges -- and technically that's true.

"You don't need to worry so much about your credit card. Nobody will charge you more than $50 if there is fraud, and nobody does that anyway. Just be sure to check your credit card transactions," said Bellovin. If you report fraudulent transactions, "banks and stores are liable for fraud, not you."

The difference is that fraudulent charges can take time to recoup, and while that may be a nuisance when it happens on your credit card, it can be much more complicated if it happens on your debit card, which is linked directly to your checking account.

"Not everybody's got millions of dollars in their bank account. You wake up one morning and your account's cleaned out, and maybe you just sent your rent check in or your mortgage payment or your car payment and all these checks bounce," Krebs mused. "Who's gonna pay for that?"

3. Practice "good password hygiene"
The new mobile payment system Apple Pay uses your fingerprint to verify that you are who you say you are. But laptops, desktops and most mobile payment systems still rely on passwords to authenticate your identity, so experts urge consumers to practice good password hygiene.

"The risk of Cyber Monday extends back to other tools you use, where you open yourself up to potential risk," Boroditsky lamented.

According to Bellovin, "password reuse is a much worse danger than weak passwords are."

Passwords you use on shopping sites should never match passwords you use for more sensitive sites, such as your bank, social media or cloud storage.

If you have trouble keeping all your passwords in order, password managers, such as LastPass, will organize them for you and give you one master password to access them all.

4. Beware of phantom sites
"One of the biggest mistakes online shoppers make is they search for the store with the lowest price," Krebs said. Comparison shopping is one thing, but a sudden unbelievable deal might be a coupon to nowhere.

"This time of year we always see the same thing -- a whole bunch of phantom stores just pop up. They're there for a couple of weeks, then disappear with your credit card and your money and you don't get anything," Krebs explained.

However convincing a site might look, a deal that seems too good to be true probably is.

Try to stick to stores you recognize.

Krebs allowed that getting lured into a fake store is a common mistake, and easy to make, and that it's very hard to tell if a site is legitimate without checking its registration records to see how long it's been online.

One good rule of thumb for confirming that you are on a legitimate site is to look for "https://" at the beginning of the URL and other evidence that the identity of that site has been confirmed by a third party security firm.

5. Keep your browser up to date
Keeping your browser up to date will do more for you than make sure you don't have any glitches interrupting your digital shopping spree (though that certainly counts for something). It can also keep you safer.

Krebs said that most people are familiar with operating system updates intended to protect your computer from viruses and malware, "but a lot of folks don't get that the bad guys have actually moved to targeting the browser because that's the way most people interact with the Web. Increasingly they're targeting vulnerabilities in the browser, all these little programs that plug into the browser -- Flash, Adobe Reader, that stuff."

He stressed that it's crucial to keep up with the monthly security updates that come out for these add-ons, closing off that avenue of threat.

New Addition To Our Blog

G6 Gang

I have received so many pictures from Gabe, K and April that I had to give April her own blog. It is attached under the G6 Blog. 

The pictures of that part of the country are so breath taking I could cover a wall with them. And to go to the Mopar Nationals, who knew there was that much "scrap metal" out there?

And Sturgis, one day I will make it there. 

Remember to send your pics to g6wellsville@gmail.com, my regular email address I receives over 150 emails a day, so if you send them their it might take awhile to get to them. Also we can take favorite links, video, etc...

A Web Log(Blog) is a record of the important things and events that happen in your lives. Think of it as a journal or diary. But it is permanent, so, "what you put out there, stays out there"
