In some cases maybe but not the case with me. I'm a type A personality and rarely sit down. I always have multiple things going on at once and multi-task like a mad man. There are times when I'm working on projects and have my hands full then have a thought or remember something that I need info on or to make a mental note, make a list etc. I originally thought that Alexa would be good for stuff like this. Ultimately....Alexa became nothing more than "Alexa, connect speaker" and then "Alexa, play Wu-Tang Clan"

One of my cousins got my grandparents an Alexa. For being 78 and 77 years old they are quite good with technology, but I couldn't help laughing last time I was over there and my grandmother was yelling "Alexis" at it instead of "Alexa" and wondering why it wasn't responding.

While I use Siri/Apple HomeKit, I do use voice control often... Mostly to change lighting scenes, and to set timers. A good example is when I'm carrying in groceries I ask Siri to "activate grocery." This puts all my lights on and lowers the heat or AC. It's nice because my hands are full carrying in the groceries.

XMark Olympic EZ-curl bar. Black finish probably won't last but otherwise a decent build and didn't break the bank (< half the cost of Rogue's). Used the money saved to buy some beefy j-cups and other USA-made stuff for my workout rig.

UNTUCKit shirt. I have a blue version of this same shirt that gets constant complements, so when I could get a red version at a deep discount I pulled the trigger.

I've been looking for a new shirt for going out (as opposed to work), so I'm trying out this Butter Cloth shirt.

Since you guys shamed me above...I've had sleepless nights wondering how to remedy the situation.
Tonight, I will get some rest....maybe. Need the weather to turn to blacken the headlights. |

I need new cold-weather tires, so I took advantage of the $70 off deal at Costco and ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Usually I have run Continental AWS in the winter, but I thought I'd try these since I like my Michelin summer tires so much.
