I went by the liquor store today to get a bottle of Crown Royal - as an American II was concerned about the coming tariffs but apparently they have been put on hold...I will need another bottle before we're out of this :)

Yeah, you're going to want to go with irc for that. Everything of printed words is there.

I want to say "good job, she will be happy you did" but in my heart I'm thinking "naps together are just the best - go be a bed warmer" but that is just me.

Im still not quite old enough to need the little cans of Ensure. Yes, adult beverages indeed.

About 10 years ago I got tired of searching through the stacks of disks and jockeying around plugging in actual physical media to make entertainment happen. I ripped everything to disk and started using PleX, found out about the *arr suite of helpers to get everything on earth and got a hdhomerun for broadcast media.

I am the master of all video media from the comfort of my couch - no disks or subscriptions required. Never going back!

I'm boring - every night is Crown and 7-up over chewy ice (I LOVE chewy ice). After my 12-oz 7-up is empty I transition to Coors Banquet bottles.

I generally don't lunch (or breakfast) - I'm old and don't need much nutrition and my evening drinkies provide more calories than needed. If I lunch than dinner is a no-go. If I breakfast than perhaps a snack at night is in order. Don't question your decision making paradigm - you got this - just go with it.

Yes, this is the way - graphite powder is the stuff for locks. I once had a handyman blow WD40 in there and I promptly fired him.

You know, those Amazon Basics batteries are a poor replacement for Duracells. Batteries are one of the things that I never cheap out on.

I have ceiling fans that I run (on slow) clockwise when it's cold. I can clearly feel the mixing of upper level (warm) air into my environment which is comfortable but my wife thinks any moving air is cold air and hates it. I think I need to position multiple temp sensors at various heights and locations to prove my point but my concern is that if I have empirical evidence to back my supposition it will be poorly received because, of course, I'm over-thinking it. Thoughts?

Edit: after receiving the thoughts I requested I must say I agree with everyone and will simply pack my opinion away and mix a lovely beverage with some warming whiskey when we settle in tonight...of course, I'll make two so we can enjoy together.

Edit edit: Sorry, but as I am a goober I had to gather data and I can unequivocally state that fan blowing up makes temp sensors warmer.

 

My wife was kind enough to get the neck for me. Feels good to chop the mop and now I'm ready for come-what-may.

 

Starting tomorrow I'm off through the new year. What should I do to really bang it up? I was thinking breakfast out tomorrow seems like the way to go.

 

I suspect some of you are already aware of it but I wasn't.

 

I love playing with my HA and associated devices. I suspect that most of you reading this get a bit of a jolt every time you add and incorporate a new sensor, camera, integration and get to play with it.

I have all the door/window sensors and locks/covers, every angle of my exterior covered with cameras, alarm, network devices, appliances, sprinklers, household devices covered.

Any ideas for a new thing I can play with?

 

My beloved wife is preparing to wage war against colonel Kitchener. Stand back, 7 needles in play!

This is probably the only thing I miss about that place.

 

I'm loving wefwef - my sadness over Apollo's demise was softened by the arrival of this great recreation...Thanks!

I use Safari on my MacBook and keybindings are not working - space for page down, left arrow for back, etc. I'm hoping this is on the roadmap somewhere.
