I post about being worried that I was going to get after an Ebay seller that was slow shipping out my cat's flea remedy. He sent me an email saying he shipped it but didn't have a tracking number due to some server issues and he would send it when he got it. I immediately became concerned as that sounded like bull to me. When the expected arrival date came and went I emailed him again for the number and a couple of days later I received the tracking number and could see that he had just sent it. Then a couple of days later I received it.
Today I received a package of the same from a pet pharmacy place, almost $80.
I have no idea except maybe the eBay seller ran out of product and had it sent to me or the eBay seller works at the pet pharmacy and is stealing product and selling it on eBay.
Edit: I forgot to mention that were sent from San Francisco area.
I'll be calling them later this morning, I hope the eBay seller isn't the one that answers the phone...LOL

A month or so ago I upgraded Win 7 to 10 and the welcome screen got stuck in a loop. I have that going on right now with one that I upgraded. Wish I could remember how I fixed it.
I got it, I had to do a Reset.

One of my acquisitions at work tonight was a Dell Optiplex 9030 AIO, 500 Gb drive and 8Gb ram Intel I5 fourth generation now with Windows 10 Pro. 23 inch screen
I had to borrow the mouse and keyboard fron the Security DVR, I hope after I put them back that I don't have to reboot the DVR, it's time to go home.

I put them back and they worked.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Back in my cig-a-like days I built a capacitive discharge spot welder to weld nickle leads onto kanthal coil wire. I had it set up with various values of electrolytics, 125 through 1000mfd, that were switchable, in parallel, so I could vary the current and charged them using a variable 12 volt supply. It worked well as a spot welder but now is collecting dust in the basement. No need for "zero" resistance leads using TCR capable wire for coils.

Mine is sitting right here, I occasionally threaten the wife with it to leave me alone.
Mine is powered with a C battery, the output is determined by how long you charge it up. I got nailed by one of the cameras with disassembling them.

Here's the message I got back from the eBay seller after I asked him if he sent them (again).

"Hi there, actually at the time you order, I had to take it from my supplier to send it to you. However, it take too long for waiting tracking number from my supplier so I had to take it from another to send it to you avoiding the late. Fortunate that you have received both of them. If you want both, I will give you the price 30$ for the second 6 doses. Hope you understand for this. Please let me know. Btw - thank you for your honest. Stay safe my friend."

I then told him that I didn't understand whether he wanted to give me $30 for them or me give him $30. At $5 (6) I'll do it, but I have no problem just keeping them either. I told him the send me a prepaid shipping label and I'd send them back if he wanted.

pretty sure he wants 30 bucks from you but you're right - $5.00 per dose is a very good deal ;)

this seems to be a seller going the extra mile to take care of his customer so if he wants it back i'd let paypal take care of the return

He's a really new seller. I paid $23 a dose at the vet.
