Apple know how to charge don’t they? £35 for a leather key ring! I’ve never lost a set of keys as I’m very particular about where I put them. So why do I keep thinking I need an Airtag?
Enjoy. Must be nearly time to have a beer. It’s been a few months!Rather tasty
I’ve never lost a key or wallet either - but my partner is very good at it! Though I often have rummaged through by bag or panic-unpacked a suitcase to double check they were there, which I guess an AirTag would help with.
A replacement handle
for my new brush axe,
purchased just a week ago on Amazon.
The manufacturer didn't see fit to install lock washers on the handle bolts, which of course loosened up with use. Instead of stopping, I forged ahead and cut a few more saplings, with the inevitable result of the handle splitting at the bolt holes. Simple physics.
Yes, there should have been lock washers on the bolts, but there weren't. At the first sign of looseness I should have stopped work until I could get to a wrench. But no, I had to make just a few more cuts.
My bad. Another tuition payment.

as a Doctor Strange fan, how could I not buy this shirt (with my favorite goofy quip by Sam Wilson)

New PVC gutters, to (a) replace the ones shown directly below, and (b) add a gutter on a rear roof that never had one.
The phrase "if you want it done right, do it yourself" has never resounded as strongly for me, as it does here. Why attach the gutters to the steel frame of the carport roof, when there's this really convenient fascia board just hanging right here. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!?

It surprises me that when you "add accessories" for a device like that, they often ship the accessories, separately, first.
I understand they have inventory etc, but why send two shipments? Last year my wife and I got Apple pencils, quite a significant time before our iPad Air's arrived. Even if they just made it an opt-out feature "These items will deliver together, is that OK? <Yes> <No, send each item as soon as available>".
I would have much rather preferred to have an option to ship them in the same box together.
I got a great deal open box. If you find a good deal, go for it. It sounds fantastic. Not as good as the One / Move but great for the speaker of this size!

Went from a 49 to a 65. Colors are beautiful.

Picked one of these up a few days ago. Sound pretty good, but main selling point is the seamless integration and swapping between my other Sonos speakers and Bluetooth. A really fantastic little device.
