REVIEW – Not sure how many agree with me, but I see climate change effects all around me. Each year, the coldness of the winter season seems to linger longer into Spring, and the overall effect is that my time enjoying my backyard and watching movies under my gazebo seems to get shorter each year. One way to fight back is outdoor heat. This East Oak TORCH 48,000 BTU Propane Patio Heater with Round Table should do the trick.

REVIEW – For the past year or so, I have been working remotely 100% of the time as I recover from total knee replacement surgery. For infrequent use, I was satisfied with the camera built into my laptop, but now that I am using it in meetings all day, every day, I want and need something better. I need something with better resolution choices and auto-tracking so when I move around to reposition my knee, the camera follows me, keeping me visually engaged with the other attendees.

REVIEW – I love my dog! What I don’t love is all of the fur he leaves around the house. I reviewed the HomerunPet Grooming vacuum back in December 2023, and I am still using it today to help keep a handle on my dog’s fur. That vacuum does a great job of pulling the loose fur off my short-haired dog. My only complaint is that I have to plug it in every time I have to use it. The Petaboo Airy 150 Pro is a rechargeable, cordless pet grooming vacuum. Does it work as well as the HomeRunPet vacuum?

NEWS – My first gaming console was the Atari 2600. It was actually the Sears Tele-Games Video Arcade, a rebranded but officially licensed version of the Atari 2600. My dad worked part-time at Sears, so he got a discount. I loved spending hours playing games like Pong and Breakout. I would go to sleep with the animations still playing in my mind.
