I have had mine for about a month and use it Friday-Sunday every single weekend.
It is fantastic. So much so that we set it up by the pool and 5 of the 6 houses on our street now have one. It sells itself.
It definitely eats through wood though so make sure you have an ample stock before firing it up. Smokes for a bit on start up but no smoke the rest of the way.
Cleanup is one of the best things about it as it disintegrate almost any wood and it leaves such small ash its amazing.
Get yourself the shield accessory to prevent the random sparkling here and there.
10/10 would recommend to anyone. I got mine for 50% off and they actually messed up and sent me 2 lol.
I picked up these to finish off my desktop PC build. Fingers crossed it is finished and I hope I don't find anything else.
The motherboard I have has an mini M.2 dedicated for WiFi/Bluetooth and while I don't use WiFi on this computer, I use Bluetooth so I was interested when I saw this one on Amazon.
A WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 card. It was $24, right at the same pricing as a current wifi and bluetooth spec chip so the next couple days will be testing to see how well it performs.
Chip is an Intel ax210.
Second picture is a PC restart/power chip. It connect to an onboard USB port and can restart or shutdown or power up the computer.
This computer is a home theater gaming PC so it is hidden away and the power button isn't easily accessible so I am interested on trying this out.

iPhone mini for my girlfriend, MacBook Air M1 for myself.
Both very satisfied, two great devices!
Santa gave me the same thing! Although, I am definitely behind on my reading (I'm still on Photo).
Halfords Advanced 2 Tonne Low Profile Trolley Jack for swapping to/from my winter/summer wheels..
Jay as you probably know that title in that main shot with Sun Chien holding the sword is the German title for The Kid With The Golden Arm. I think I have that German blu ray. What’s weird is The Kid With The Golden Arm is mentioned right under Next. I checked it in my Apple TV and do not see that. However, other Shaw Brothers films I bought from iTunes are using art from the recent German blu rays.So we wanted to put some stuff on the new M1 MacBook Air. I myself got some classics to put on it, but I don't remember the title quite being this...
🙂 I have the Photo and Designer workbooks too. Haven’t started with any of them because my old iMac couldn’t run the Affinity software without freaking out. Now that I have an M1 machine, I want to learn Publisher first.
That is great you are getting through the Photo workbook.
I forgot the name but I bought the second largest, not the Yukon.
We normally sit 8-10 people around it and its plenty big and warm enough.
I would think the Yukon is massive and probably pretty great too.
Yes, get the stand so you can put it on any surface.
I really wanted to get the sit down cocktail version, but I didn't want to give up the floor space. I picked this PartyCade version from QVC. I unpacked it yesterday to test it out, and it will be wall mounted this week.
I don't recommend those 4 seasons tyres, they may be legal in winter (where you are required to have winter tyres in winter) but they perform noticeably worse than actual winter tyres. And they're bad in summer too...
I've only ever read good reviews from people who have fitted them and run them all year. However, I'll only have them fitted during winter after which I'll be refitting my original alloys as they have nearly new Goodyear Efficientgrip tyres, then back to the 4Seasons for next winter.
Highland 2 screenwriting (novel/etc.) software, Pro version.
I've wanted to get back to screenwriting for awhile now, but was waiting on a new Mac. Now that I have the new Mac, I found Highland 2. Any screenwriting software that automatically formats (indents) my weird character names by the second time I type the name and dialog is a keeper.

Not going to excite you sorry. 2015 MacBook Air with an English /Arabic keyboard! It was cheap, runs Big Sur and probably will for the next 2 years, good battery and great physical condition no scratches or marks. Sometimes you have to do what you need to do. It will surpass my needs for sure.
