Please note also, my driveway is notorious for causing slide offs, hitting snow banks, getting stuck from not enough forward momentum, too much forward momentum on the curve throws you into the snow drift that is really more like concrete ice drift right now and will rip a bumper off is smacked.

We also have a rule here, you get stuck in the driveway, you gotta get yourself out. I do not push, pull, tow or dig anybody out. I will provide a list of tow trucks that service the area.

TL;DR Be careful on the driveway, man.

Starting to get some things hooked up in the basement. I need to find a good Powerline conditioner/UPS. I need battery power for about 12 seconds as generator switches on and switches to feed the house.

I'm curious. What do you run that requires a switch? I just don't have enough dedicated hardline equipment to require one still. The 4 ports on the back of my router are more than enough haha.

Btw JAR.

I just ordered 4 TP-Link 50W 2700K 600 lumen wifi dimmable bulbs for my kitchen. I'll let you know how nicely they place with Alexa. So far, everything else has been working smoothly. I don't even catch myself pausing after saying "Alexa" to input my commands. I just speak naturally and she does it.

The only times she doesn't recognize my voice is when the alarm goes off in the morning and I slur my words like crazy from being miserable.

Have you done the training? I've found she does so much better if you do the voice training. She can pick my voice out even through the cacophony of sounds during the explosion sequences of a movie playing at full volume. Before she would get confused sometimes just if someone else spoke at the same time as my command - no problems with that any more.

Yes, but only for 1 of them so far. Still need to train the 2 others. It indefinably helps.

Hello sexy z people.

BoneZ 01-12-2017 02:26 PM

I'm about to go get new rear tires.

BoneZ 01-12-2017 02:27 PM

Trying to decide if I should get 275s again or save $120 and go back to 245s.

BoneZ 01-12-2017 02:28 PM

Does a ~340hp car really need 275s.
