    Never thought I'd ever have to worry but I need outdoor security cameras!

    By any chance do you use Apple? I’ve used Eufy and Aqara cameras with Homekit Secure Video for awhile now with good results. Mine mostly cover areas that are out of the elements so I’ve used “indoor” cameras to save some cash, but I know there’s several good outdoor ones too, including some with...

    Adding valve actuator to hose bib - no overflow port in pool

    Hi all - my pool strangely does not have an overflow port. This is super annoying because hopefully I just happen to be home when we get 3" of rain in 1 day in Houston, and...I have to go out in the rain, turn the spigot on, set a timer on my iphone so I don't forget about it, then go back out...

    Anyone do travel sports with their kids? Tips to make it more affordable?

    Another tip is to pay attention to the fundraisers the club may do. Hopefully the team is mindful of these expenses and help fundraise some cash to offset the price tags of the trips. If they don’t, maybe it’s in your best interest to help organize a few. The old fundraisers of selling candy or...

    Anyone do travel sports with their kids? Tips to make it more affordable?

    I would jump up and down encouraging this! Between the oldest doing band and the middle doing cheer, band, softball, and every other sport we’ve spent the few years running with the kids. We’ve found splitting a house often cheaper than a hotel but watch the “cleaning fees” that many vrbo’s are...

    Chat GPT

    Many of these massive tech companies have used AI technology for years, and they know how beneficial it’s going to be for their bottom lines. There’s no doubt in my mind each of these companies will open up the checkbook to fix a problem they run into. The first prime example of this is Apples...

    Chat GPT

    Over the last year I’ve really watched AI technology as it’s shaping up to really alter the technology game. The amount of money Google, Apple, and Microsoft are spending on AI is putting it into a “no fail” position, so I’d prefer to get a jump on the technology rather than waiting.

    Spent some time today during a slow period on TFP working on a personal project I’ve wanted for some time. Over the last year or two I’ve purchased multiple smart plugs that power certain items around the house and I purchased several sensors that monitor major areas of concern at the house...

    We Challenged AI To Design The Ultimate Pool

    Skip Stable Diffusion and go Midjourney! Quality is massively improved. Paying a few bucks for the premium subscription causes things to really get real. AI in my eyes is a tool that’s preparing to massively break out of its shell. Right now so much of the technology is just a neat toy as the...

    While this mild weather stinks for swimming, I’m LOVING it! I enjoy just sitting on the back porch and this weather is perfect! Cooked twice today and just sat around all day eating. Anytime I got bored……grabbed a snack! 😂

    Happy Valentine’s Day.

    We’re about 90 minutes south of there right on the Ohio/WV border……right off the Ohio River. So far almost every water department in the are has reported finding elevated levels of butyl acrylate in the RAW water except ours. We may have lucked out as our supply comes from a well unlike others...

    No worries if ChatGPT knows about us, I’m already working to get inside of their brains. 😉 Nothing at all is set yet, but there’s a fair amount of possibility for the future.

    Char-Griller or Blackstone?

    I enjoy grilled food more than the griddle BUT the griddle really seems to be more versatile for me. I’d hate to say it, but if I could only pick one it would be a Blackstone. That also said, have you seen the 4 burner at Walmart? On sale for $242??

    Why... WHY?!?

    Ya know @Dirk I’m so glad to see this as THIS is desperately needed this day and age. This photo is a mirror image for the workroom in my garage, it once was spotless with everything in its place, but now there’s tools everywhere and the trash can is full. I’ve had some things going on over the...

    Fell in love today……family always enjoys pork cutlets but they’re a pain to make. Often they take forever to cook enough as we can only fry two at a time and there’s always grease everywhere when we’re done. The weather was nice out today and thought I’d give things a shot. Not sure we’ll make...

    Another week of being an underpaid Uber driver for the kids in the books. Every day this week had us out and about at Supper time and I was dead tired of takeout. Took some time this morning for a home cooked breakfast. Started with some trimmings from steaks we bought to get some grease down...

    This weekends High School game. Finial score didn’t go the way we wanted, but the game at least was close. As a plus, daughter is in her second year in the band and they still haven’t lost a game.😂

    Without a doubt my favorite thing for the griddle is weekend breakfast. Being an early riser I’ll frequently wake up before others wake. As the wander out of their rooms they’ll grab a plate, eat, then disappear for a few hours. 😂😂
