I wear Brooks Addiction 14. Used to wear them for my walks but they're so comfortable now I wear them all day. Think they cost me $150-$160; been several years since I bought them and I bought a few pairs. Brooks makes a new Addiction now so glad I did buy a few of them. You can still get the Addiction 14s on Amazon for about $130 (not sure what colors and sizes are available). Great shoe.

I have been wearing the Brooks Ghost series for years. Best all around shoes I have found.

Yeah I know Apple watches are overpriced and this one crazy so. Until one checks what I wanted a watch for.

Golf - I want a golf watch with advanced features. The watch I need to replace my old one is the Garmin S70. $700

Fitness - Probably just a low end FitBit for $200

So I was gonna spend that much anyway. Instead I get an all in one I don't have to change (or on the course wear two to play golf and track walking). Sorry if I am feeling like I'm defending my purchase. I just wanted it.

Love my AW6. I like being able to deny a spam call by just tapping the watch face. Plus I use it to track exercise and it notifies me if something shows up on one of my outdoor cams. Well worth the money. And they're not that pricey compared to some of the latest sport watches from Garmin and other brands.

I went from the Nike AW4 to an 8 and I like it, add AirPods and I have music while running. I think about the Extreme or whatever they call it but I just cannot justify the difference. Enjoy!

I love my Apple Watch Ultra. I use it all the time for golf with the SwingU golf app and it works flawlessly!

So my GF hated Brooks because they looked like "grandpa" shoes - which my boss who swears by them agrees with- but talked her into trying them. Now she has 10 pair.

I want to try some - can you comment on their sizing? I usually wear a 9.5-10 in everything, but Under Armor I were a 10.5 for some reason. I have read that Brooks run small, but maybe they are like UA size?

Need to find a store and try some I guess, but I'd rather order online. I have a stand up desk now that 100% cleared up all my back/nerve issues. I want to try the Brooks.

Yes, in my experience they do run a little small. Try buying a half size larger than you normally wear. I wear a wide shoe (2E) and they have those, and wider.

I order online and if I don't like them I just return them. They have a 90-day trial run and if you aren't satisfied, return them for free. No shipping or re-stocking fee.

They also have an online guide that will help you decide what shoe is best for you. It's not great but it helps you narrow them down.

Apple iPad 10.2" (9th Gen). These were going for $250 on Amazon, so I grabbed one to use as a monitor for my PoE cams. I have one already in my office, but I wanted one to set beside my recliner in the living room. It'll also come in handy for reading the occasional e-book.

I used to work for UPS in Nürnberg and had a supervisor who was Hungarian. He used to use the word minchia all the time. I found it amusing that here I am, an American, having a conversation in German, with a Hungarian, who is swearing in Italian.

Synology DiskStation DS224+

I had a couple of 8TB drives I wasn't using, to I got this to set up as a backup server for my NAS and as a Central Management Server (CMS) for my other Synology boxes.

Just placed my order for this BESPOKE Samsung Refrigerator. Pretty hyped! Our current one we got when we built our house 6yrs ago. It's also a Samsung: Stainless Steel 2-Door + 2-Drawer. This new one will be White Glass, 4-Door, Smart AI Vision, Dual Ice-Maker and much more!

Balsamic vinegar. Not an expert by any means. They had some brands that were $3.00 + per ounce. Yikes..

This brand is $13.00 for a pint. Probably is rot-gut... ... and I'll use it for cleaning the coffee pot !
