3 days ago. Finished talk to a bud,hung up phone. Roughly 2 mins later I happen to walk by table where phone was laying when it gave the 'end of call' sound. I looked and just seen in the carrier ID section on screen it read 'Saskatchewan'.

Was someone on line with my bud and I ?. He is not in Saskatchewan so not him hanging up late something I already did by pressing 'end call' tab.

My win7 pc 2 days ago had a meltdown. No way shape or form could I restore. Call my teck guy who talked me through all DOS options. No go. Hmmm Fired up the win10 pc that I hate but fine, I'll give it a go. Still working for now.

Many of my devices last 5-7 years seem to suffer from unexplained catastrophic malfunctions btw.

So here is today incident. Was out most of day. Small community (250'ish) overrun by power guys fixing crap. They be back Monday.

Walked in and all normal. Kitchen has main door. Spend an hour in office in other end of house. I live alone btw. Heard sounds from kitchen area but stayed in office as it is normal for a friend to walk in and come down see me in office. No one showed and I got busy.

2 hours later I walk to kitchen to warm some leftovers for suppers when I smell natural gas. Gas stove had a burner on low,if you have gas you will know what I am saying here,no sound.

I check kitchen door and notice it is locked,we never lock doors here when home and sometimes not even when out.

Here is the thing, I have not used stove today at all at this point in time.

There was zero smell when I came home after gone for hours. Late afternoon and sun will set soon and the furnace will kick in as it is still nippy at night up here. Calculating time frame my best guess is that stove would have been on for 3-4 hours bringing us to around 19:30'ish.

There are zero chance to 'bump' the old school controller as you need to push and twist to turn on gas.

I now keep door locked and has booby trapped some areas.

Bottom line is someone did something but I stopped it by pure luck or gut feeling.

Never bow down and never step back.

Bring it you fcks.
