Decided to give the new dog wash in Frenchtown a try. It’s a nice place but it was hard for Bentley to get into the tub. He is not so sure about ramps and this tub had a ramp up to it. Once he was in it was great, nice and big with plenty of room to maneuver him in. The dryer is nice and strong and for some strange reason Bentley loves dryers so he was happy after the stressful wash to get warm air blown at him.
Wow, this phone is phenomenally good! The camera does suck but I could give a shit… If I want good pictures I will get out a real camera. The screen is velvety smooth, it’s fast, loud and built like a fucking tank. It feels super premium but looks very industrial. The Chroma rear snake is super cool and sets it apart from everything else. The gaming performance is stellar but it does get a bit warm when cranking. Even the box was crazy… It comes highly recommended if you can deal with the camera. I also picked up the Hammer Head ear buds with noise canceling… They are excellent as well! That fruity company can’t touch Razer…
I’m sick of missing people and packages at the door so I installed 2 Nest Hello bells today. It took me some time to run the wires as no existing equipment was installed in the house. I have some wires to paint but the install is very clean and I tried to reuse any old holes I could find. I only needed to drill two holes for the entire job! Now I have to see how much bandwidth they use uploading video all the time. My current cameras only upload when they detect movement. So far I like them but I will see how it goes when I am at work talking to someone at the door.
They changed the date and showed up this morning! It was supposed to be for next week. I had to call out from work last minute. I am off again tomorrow as well. Looks good and alot faster than I would have been able to do.
Does anyone out there have any experience with the Roon Nucleus Plus music server? It looks like a really cool device! I will be finally setting up a proper listening room in the coming months and I think the Roon music service really brings something to a digital collection. The server itself is kinda expensive and I can probably do the same thing under a Linux VM but sometimes it’s nice to just have something turnkey that just works without having to mess with it. I think audio equipment should be that way so that is why I’m thinking about adding it to my setup.
If anyone has anything to say about this please chime in!
I just installed a Sense with the solar option in my power distribution panel. So far it looks good. It’s still learning so I can’t really go into it’s functions but I can say installing it is a snap. If your comfortable working around mains voltage then you should be able to do this is about 10mins like I did. It’s basically 4 CT’s and wiring it up to a 240V breaker.
As I said it’s learning the devices in the house so at the moment it can just tell me usage and production numbers. It the future it will be able to identify when a load comes on and off and kick off an action. An example is when your washer stops blink your hue lights in a room.
Once it unlocks more features I will do a proper review of the device so check back!

Awesome… Another pro nuclear documentary… Let’s have more of them to dispel all the lies and FUD the tree huggers spread. Renewable is nice but it’s not the answer people..
