Year end surprise
What a way to end the year.
I got an E-mail from my old friend and Engine Masters boss asking for some help. You guys know him as head of NHRA technical services. Lonnie Grim About the time I was going to read the e-mail I get a call from R.J. Sledge my working partner and friend who also worked for Lonnie at EMC. Did you get an E-mail from Lonnie? Read it he says.... It Says: How are you doing today? I hope you had a lovely Christmas. I need a little favor from you and hope you are not busy? Thank you , Lonnie Grim After RJ replied we find out he wanted money and was locked out of his bank account and his phone was broken.... Poor Lonnie. If you were on his e-mail list you probably got one, too...RJ and I were thinking about a Go Fund Me account for him... Yep, it was a scam, Lonnie's good name has been hacked and abused by the internet. We did get a good laugh at the wording... Didn't sound a thing like my Arkansas friend...

Re: Year end surprise
Adger, I'm being held in a Somali prison, could you please send money to this bank account number?

Re: Year end surprise
Frank, All I'm sending to Billy is a dime..
Maybe that Somali dude will appreciate what Billy can do with a dime and send him home.

Re: Year end surprise
I answered his e-mail. Seems he cannot find an Apple gift card in his area. It is for a sick friend. I told him I could not find an Apple card either but I could find a Prune card. The only problem with a Prune card is if it is used it goes thru your account like Grant went thru Richmond.
