I feel like this is the journey of all automation enthusiasts. We start with a giant dream plan and then reel it into reality. Don’t automate everything…just the stuff that makes sense for you. Not that I don’t appreciate the dedication involved in complex automation, but our family favorites are the simple ones like opening curtains at sunrise, or dimly turning on the kitchen lights when we walk in for a late night snack. Small things that take away mundane tasks.

I bought a Solo 2 just last week and have been very impressed. Great battery life, great performance, looks good, and easy to use. Seems to be built like a tank, too. Very solid. I’d recommend based on my limited experience with it.

Look for a recessed outlet box, then add your own outlet that has USB. I found a recessed box on Amazon from a company called Arlington, but I’m sure you could find them locally at a home improvement store near you.

I can understand that. I grew up in Western Kentucky, and Evansville was where we went for fun…yeah, my hometown was pretty dull. 😂 Hope you are in a better place and in happier times now, friend!

The article is poorly written, but refers to a kids team. Evansville does have a pro baseball team, though. The Evansville Otters. They play in the Frontier league, and have been champions twice since starting the team in 1995. They play at Bosse Field, one of the oldest baseball parks in the country. They shot “A League of Their Own” there, actually. Last time I was there (late 90s), it was still decorated as it was in the movie, as the park would have been in the 40s/50s. Amazing place to see a game!

You don’t miss the bus just because it doesn’t go directly to your location. You take the bus that gets you closest to where you want to go. Biden is that bus right now.
