No, not yet. I'm not sure I want to go that far. My main thing with this is to be able to monitor the doors, locks, and lights when we're away and we have the pet sitter coming by every day. I like being able to see all sides of my house and to turn lights on or off as needed. And if the pet sitter neglects to lock a door, I'll be able to do that. I bought a new iPad and an app that lets you develop your own HomeKit interface, so that's my next goal, just to keep my techie side proficient.

I've looked forward to this for years.
As I dropped my daughter off to school this morning.. I went to best buy, only to realize they don't open till 11am ![]() After a day of meetings and having to pick my cousin up from the airport, I also realized Best Buy closes at 7pm (who the hell closes at 7pm on a Friday). By now I had 30 minutes to make a 40 minute drive. I was in the X5, which isn't fitted with a radar detector. I drove like a bat out of hell, risking it all. Didn't even bother to park the car, just pulled up in front of the store, left the car there and made a run for it. A store employee is literally closing the gate as I run up to it. He was cool.... so he let me through. Finally the game was mine. I guess I could have waited till tomorrow... but these assholes don't open till 11 and I wake up very early (yes even on Saturdays). Now hopefully the game is as exciting as the adventure I had getting to the store in time....

Yeah I was waiting to see if I'd like the setup before investing in a clutch pedal and h shifter.
You can tell the wheel is optimized for GT7... I'm in shock over how good it is. The feedback is so accurate, for the first time since I've ever used wheel setups I feel like the car's behavior is predictable. I just drove a 66 Cobra around a challenging course and didn't spin out because i knew exactly what my tires were doing.. thats how good the wheel is.

Hoping this installs and works as easily as I've read. If it does, I'll be installing these in every entry door.

Level Lock works like a charm. Easy install, too.

Alright so it's comedy hour time. Let's call this - "shoei got extra high with some friends the other night and apparently cannot be trusted with credit cards, internet access and the promise of Prime delivery."
Amazon packages are being delivered at a pretty steady pace. Here's what I have had delivered thus far lol. I'm literally laughing so hard I can barely type this. 1. I was clearly craving salty snacks. I ordered myself not one not two but three bags of salt & vinegar almonds. Three ONE POUND BAGS. 2. Apparently I was looking for scissors because I just received three different sizes. 3. I ran out of vitamins. I will no longer run out of vitamins. There's also toothpastes and mouthwashes and whitening strips. Yes, all multiples lol. Good to know I still emphasize hygiene I'll keep you all posted. Not only are more packages coming, there's also a motorcycle helmet with face shields coming apparently next week. You know, for the motorcycle I don't own. |
