"Whenever there's a head of hair being threatened by a criminal clipper, I'll be there."

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is the cool and incomprehensible hero, swarthy and musclebound, sporting sunglasses and a large golden afro. He is called "Bo-bobo" for short, as he refuses to let people call him "Bo".

• Mid series Bo-Bobo receives a power up that makes him as powerful as all 5634 supermarkets in Japan with an aura stronger than anyone in the series before. These feats are easy to pick out as Bo-Bobo will be wearing his black jacket instead of his normal outfit.

Hanage Shinken

Bo-bobo's primary form of offense is a technique called the "Hanage Shinken". This technique involves stretching out his nose hairs in order to whip or constrict his enemies. He is one of the few people who knows this technique, so he believes that it is sacred and that he shouldn't overuse it. It is powered by Taiyaki.

• To explain why this section is about to be VERY large, Bo-Bobo has a wide of array of techniques.

GOOD: real Full HD 1920x1080, INSANELY CHEAP, 100w LED is decently bright, lasts long and heats "little". Sound is loud enough to mask the fan noise. Good image quality and colors.
BAD: simple lens set means no zoom adjustment (you get a fixed-size image which depends on the distance from the projection screen) and completely useless keystone trapezoid adjustment - you MUST install the projector on a high shelf, completely flat and pointing to the center of the projection screen (no ceiling mount or table mount), otherwise the image will be out of focus. The corners of the image are darker than the center.
Like many other LED products, the blue color is bright enough to activate UV reactive fluorescence. I noticed when the screen is blue, any fluorescent items nearby will light up with the mere reflection from the wall. You should probably avoid looking directly into the projection lenses, as with any projector. I don't believe the reflected light poses any harm to the eye, as any UV in it should be near-UV.
Projecting from approx. 3.7m away, I got a screen which has a diagonal of 125 inches (3,18m). Screen dimensions 1.56m x 2.77m. If you need to use keystone correction, buy the T26K because it has digital keystone (this is the only difference between the models). Overall it's a good projector for an amazing price, if you can live with the limitations I've described. Improvements: I highly advise to install a fine air filter on the air inlet, or else you will someday need to disassemble the projector to clean dust - very tricky but there are videos on YouTube for that. An external fan to help push the air through the fine filter is a great idea too. Never block the air outlet!
Instructions for installation: 1 - Put it in a flat horizontal shelf pointing to the center of the screen. The projector should be completely flat, centered and perpendicular to the screen. 2 - Adjust the focus side wheel until the center of the screen is in focus 3 - Adjust the keystone side wheel until the top and the bottom of the screen are also in focus, and the projected shape looks rectangular. 4 - Check the projected image up close to see if the focus is good. Fine tune the projector pan/tilt/focus/keystone until you get the best image you can.
Miscellaneous characteristics: projector has a menu to adjust color, sound and some other stuff. Has IR remote and IR sensor on the front and on the back. INPUTS: VGA, dual HDMI, USB, audio in/out. If you're looking in the same direction as the projector is pointing, the hot air comes from the left side. All inputs and ports are on the back.
Cost me about 200 USD. Despite the limitations of the optics, it's surprisingly decent. Being LED I hope it will last for a decently long time. I bought it from TouYinger on AliExpress, which gives me reason to trust their other products. Just beware that getting the perfect placement for it is very tricky if you have a fixed size screen. It's much easier if you have an entire wall so you have more flexibility for positioning it perfectly perpendicular to the wall.

howdy,
hardware:

• Chromecast with Google TV (HD)
• loxjie A30 (optical connection to the tv)

is it possible to control the volume of my amp LOXJIE A30 via IR with the cc-remote? my amp is not listed in the receivers, but maybe it is compatible with a listed one??
my amp is connected to the tv via optical cable.
would be nice to control the amp with the cc-remote
thanks in advanced​

Hey all,
So I installed everything and it's been running for a week now. A lot of issues so far.

1. My phone from remote location connecting to unifi protect on key+ gen 2 is very iffy. Like it connects 1/5 times. And I haven't had one ring alert to my phone when it rang. I have OPNsense router, do I need to add any rules to get this to work better?
2. I tried to use wireguard VPN to make the connection better. It seems to work better w connecting to protect but the app keeps warning me to not use VPN. But even with wireguard I get no rings to my phone. I turned off battery optimization on wireguard app.
3. The POE chime just failed yesterday. Doesn't even show up on my devices. It showed on my device for like 3 days, didn't chime once, then it just died.
4. Enable IR without the LED light on the doorbell just doesn't work. The LED lights up w every IR trigger. So I have the IR completely off which removes the filter on the recording that makes it b/w. And searching on this, it's a known issue that hasn't been fixed for like a year lol.
5. I think I hear the hard drive of the key+ gen2 going off every 15 seconds lol. I guess swapping the hd to ssd is possible. Why couldn't this be virtualized to use the same ssd I'm using for my other cameras? I just fail to see the necessity of it other than a tax.

Disappointed w this G4 pro POE doorbell so far. It looks nice but it should do the bare minimum of connecting ringing to my phone.

So, I switched to Linux mint today. Everything is fine just one problem. I used Samsung U flex with the windows before but in linux it's not showing under devices... not only that even my phone is not showing.
I didn't wanted to post this, So I tried to find a solution but I really could not understand much. I found https://www.reddit.com/linuxmint/comments/y3dyev/bluetooth_devices_not_detected/ this thread with similar problem and their problem was solved after they insatalled "BCM20702A1-0a5c-216f.hcd" which I do not know how to.
So, I have come to ask for help, here are some information that is helpful I guess.

I am going to write a comment under this for people that might have the same problem... so you can look for the solution that worked for me here...

Hello Reddit! As an enthusiastic tech aficionado and a seasoned expert in home security, I’m here to share my insights on the latest and greatest in outdoor security cameras. These devices aren't just about capturing footage; they're about offering peace of mind, deterring unwanted guests, and integrating seamlessly into our smart homes. Today's outdoor cameras come with a host of features like high-definition video, night vision, facial recognition, weather resistance, and even AI-driven alerts. They are the unsung heroes guarding our homes against potential intruders while we sleep or are away. But with so many options out there, choosing the right one can be as tricky as spotting a cat in a camouflaged curtain! Let's break down the pros and cons of some of the top contenders in the market, to help you make an informed decision. Here’s a comparative table to kick things off:

TOP 5 Outdoor Security Cameras:

Amazon Links	PROS	CONS
eufy Security eufyCam S330	High-quality imaging, facial recognition	Higher price point
Arlo Pro 4	Great smart home integration, wireless installation	Requires hub purchase for some features
GALAYOU	Budget-friendly, easy installation	Limited smart detection features
Noorio Security Camera B210	Long battery life, waterproof	Occasional Wi-Fi connectivity issues
Blink Outdoor 4	Affordable, user-friendly	Limited image quality compared to others

# 1 Eufy Security S330 Security Camera Outdoor Wireless: A New Era of Home Security

Revolutionize Your Home's Safety and Convenience

The Eufy Security S330 Video Doorbell is a remarkable addition to modern home security solutions. Its innovative design incorporates not one, but two cameras, providing unparalleled coverage. The primary camera records in crisp 2K resolution with a 160° field of view, while the secondary 1080p camera, angled towards your porch, ensures no detail is missed, particularly effective for package theft prevention.
Six months into using this new surveillance system, I'm eager to share my personal insights. Frankly, it's surpassed what I had hoped for. My decision to upgrade was driven by the frustration with my old, hardwired camera system, which was archaic and not compatible with recent Windows operating systems - a real hassle.
I didn't have high hopes for the camera on my porch because it doesn't get much direct sunlight. However, the integrated solar panel was a revelation. It keeps the camera charged with just the ambient light, which is impressive considering it only sends about 1 to 2 alerts per week - a testament to its efficiency. In contrast, the camera on my garage, which enjoys plenty of sunlight, manages around 10 to 20 alerts every day. Even as the days grow shorter in the fall, it still retains about 70% charge.
The signal strength is remarkably strong, considering my home's thick, 12-inch insulated concrete walls. The unit inside my kitchen pantry communicates flawlessly with the cameras, including the one on my garage which has to transmit through two interior walls, an exterior wall, and the garage door.
I'm particularly impressed with the AI recognition. It accurately identifies people from various angles, not just straight on. The night vision is pretty good, though not quite perfect. It works well within a limited range, but I think adding some IR repeaters could expand its coverage and make it even better.
Daytime image quality is exceptional, and the user-friendly app really enhances the experience. Setting everything up was straightforward, and the app's responsiveness, even on mobile data, deserves applause. I appreciate being able to adjust the motion detection sensitivity, which is particularly useful for the garage camera that often picks up false alerts caused by the wind.
Drawing detection zones is a useful feature, but adjusting the points on the edges of my phone's screen can be a bit tricky. It would be great to have the option to do this on a PC for added convenience.
One suggestion I have is for a scheduler to set "do not disturb" times, which would help reduce unnecessary alerts during busy periods.
One small gripe is that the camera mounts need to be tightened well to prevent any movement over time. Despite this minor issue, I wholeheartedly recommend this system and am looking to expand it with more units.

# 2 Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera: A New Standard in Home Security

Elevate Your Home’s Safety with Cutting-Edge Technology

The Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera emerges as a formidable contender in the realm of home security cameras. It sets itself apart by offering direct-to-WiFi connectivity, eliminating the need for a separate hub. This wire-free camera boasts an impressive 2K video resolution, ensuring detailed and sharp footage in both day and night settings. Its color night vision, powered by a spotlight, enhances visibility and detail in low-light conditions. While its specs are similar to its predecessor, the Pro 3, its streamlined setup and smart home integration make it a noteworthy upgrade.
I recently decided to enhance my home's security system by installing cameras. After some research, I settled on the Arlo Pro 4 cameras, despite their higher price point, believing they would be a worthwhile investment. One of the features I particularly like is the magnetic mounts – they're strong, easy to set up, and so far, they've withstood windy conditions without any issues.
When purchasing these cameras, I had the option to connect them to my existing WiFi router or use a separate hub. Since these cameras only connect to the 2.4 GHz frequency and most routers broadcast both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, I had to switch my mobile device to the 2.4 GHz network for setup. I didn't want to disable the 5 GHz band on my router, as past experiences taught me that such changes often lead to new problems. So, I opted for the Arlo Hub VMB 4540.
Before installing, I downloaded the Pro 4 camera manual and thoroughly read through it. The first step was to download the Arlo Smart App on my mobile device. Once I got the hang of the app, setting up the smart hub and cameras was straightforward.
To find the best spots for camera installation, I used the Airport Utility App. This app allowed me to walk around my house and scan for the best 2.4 GHz signals. I looked for signal strengths between -50 dBm to -68 dBm, which are ideal for the cameras. Although the app isn’t necessary – the camera setup process includes a similar feature – I wanted to pre-determine the best locations for strong signal reception.
I installed three cameras and kept my router and smart hub about 20 feet apart to avoid signal interference. The ethernet cable provided with the system is relatively short, around 4 to 5 feet, but I wanted the hub farther from my router and wireless printer to prevent any signal disruptions.
The smart hub emits a 2.4 GHz signal, which has a longer range than 5 GHz. I also bought the Arlo Battery Charging Station for convenient simultaneous charging of two batteries. The batteries that came with the cameras were partially charged and reached full capacity within an hour, whereas the additional batteries I ordered took several hours to fully charge. Having a full set of charged replacement batteries means I can quickly swap them out without affecting the cameras' positioning.
The Arlo App's activity zones are handy for customizing motion alerts. I've been impressed with the sound quality captured by the cameras' microphones and speakers. Arlo offers a free three-month trial for their app, after which it costs $9.99 per month to maintain the full range of features, which I'm inclined to subscribe to.
For backup storage, I installed a 128 GB flash drive in the smart hub. This setup ensures that events are recorded both in the cloud and locally, with the flash drive set to overwrite old recordings as it fills up.
The 2K resolution of the Pro 4 cameras is very good, and I didn't see the need to spend extra for 4K resolution. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase. However, I was disappointed to find that the three-pack of cameras I bought came with only two magnetic mounts and one Arlo adjustable mount. I had to buy an additional two-pack of magnetic mounts. Another issue is that, in my 2400 square foot ranch house, the hub's signal wasn't strong enough to cover my entire backyard. I had to settle for a partial view from a side-mounted camera. Considering range extenders or an additional hub wasn't feasible due to the need for an ethernet connection to my WiFi router. Despite these drawbacks, my overall experience with the Arlo Pro 4 cameras has been positive.

# 4 Noorio B210 Security Camera: Ultimate Protection with Clarity

A Comprehensive Security Solution for Modern Homes

The Noorio B210 Security Camera is a remarkable innovation in the realm of home security. Offering 2K resolution for crystal clear imagery, this camera is designed to deliver both indoor and outdoor surveillance with ease. Its wire-free design and magnetic mounting system offer unparalleled flexibility in installation, allowing users to secure any area of their home effortlessly. Adding to its impressive features are the color night vision, a spotlight for enhanced visibility, and smart integration with Alexa for a hands-free experience.
I recently got a new security camera, and I'm quite impressed with its performance. The setup process was incredibly straightforward, taking only about 10 minutes from unboxing to full operation. One minor issue I encountered was with the QR code needed for setup via the free app. Unlike what one might expect, the QR code isn't on the box but rather on the camera itself, printed in very light gray ink and easy to miss.
The camera arrived fully charged, but I still followed the instructions to charge it for 24 hours to ensure a full battery. After 13 days of use since January 22, the battery is still at 87%. Although the advertisement claims six months of battery life, based on my usage, I expect it might last over a month. However, it's important to note that I only turn it on at night, which could be affecting battery life. The firmware is up to date, and that's all I can comment on regarding the battery for now.
Mounting the camera is as simple as advertised. It's genuinely magnetic, attaching securely without the need for a steel mount. They do provide a separate bracket with a steel back for non-magnetic surfaces, but the magnetic feature was a major selling point for me.
Take a look at the photo I've attached. The camera is mounted on a steel lawn chair without screws or glue, just using its magnetic base. It's surprisingly secure, even withstanding below-freezing temperatures, winds over 20 MPH, and heavy rain, proving its weatherproof capability.
The camera has a little red light indicating when it's recording. It doesn't record continuously but is triggered by motion. I haven't explored potential streaming capabilities.
The camera is highly adjustable within its base, allowing for a wide range of angles while maintaining a secure hold.
Regarding night vision, it automatically switches between night and full-color modes based on lighting, though these settings might be adjustable in the app.
It's also worth noting that the camera has 16 GB of internal storage. This was unclear in the advertisement, but there's no need for an external SD card, and it doesn't even have a slot for one.
Transferring videos from the camera is straightforward. They can be downloaded to a phone via the app and then uploaded to a cloud service for easy access. The camera has a USB-C port, which might allow for direct transfers to a computer, though I haven't tried this.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this camera. I give it 4 stars for picture quality; it's not quite "2K" as claimed, but it's still high definition. You can see the video quality for yourself.

Key Features

• 2K resolution for high-definition video.
• Color night vision and built-in spotlight.
• Magnetic mount for flexible installation.
• 16GB of internal storage, with cloud storage as an option.

Pros

• Exceptional video quality with 2K resolution.

I've seen a few posts addressing a similar issue but nothing I've found has worked.
I am using an LG sound bar and a Chromecast HD with my LG C9 and I've been having issues with the power sync working. First off, a known issue is that, for the time being my sound bar is sitting in front of the TV where it blocks the IR receiver on the TV. I'm planning on wall mounting the TV soon though. So that won't be a problem anymore.
A while back, maybe 5 or 6 months, I couldn't get the Chromecast remote to control the sound bar volume. Then suddenly everything started working as expected.
Last night my 1yr old got a hold of the Chromecast remote and now it's not working properly again. The settings all seem correct. On the TV the HDMI power sync options are on, on the Chromecast I have the controller buttons set to control the LG sound bar. The Chromecast remote turns the sound bar off and on and controls the volume like I want, but the TV won't power off with the sound bar now. I tried a factory reset on the TV as well as unplugging all the HDMI cables and power cables and plugging them back in. But still noting. Any ideas?

I was given these 3 options for a new work laptop. My current computer is a dell latitude 3520. The hinges took a crap but works well. I suggested Lenovo as i've always liked the Thinkpads. I also suggested a touchscreen due to possibly the hinges being heavier duty? This is what our IT department presented to me to pick from. Option 2 is an older Lenovo if i'm not mistaken but the specs don't look terrible on the Dell or Option 3 Lenovo. I work for a general contractor in project management so i will be on site at times and then office so i take my laptop everywhere. Sure i can pick a model and ask to upgrade or change the build slightly but also don't want to seem extremely picky/complicated. Also prefer a keyboard with T9 numeric keys for doing billing it comes in super handy.
What would you guys pick?

I will likely be a ‘lifer’ at the company I work at just due to the flexibility, freedom, and development opportunities afforded to me as a B.S. degree holder. To do what I do in my industry, typically specialty education (M.S. &/or P.hd) is necessary but I have wonderful coworkers, mentors, and supervisors who have given many hours to help educate me, partaken in many workshops and industry trainings, trained myself through self-study and research, and used networking connections to find myself in national and state level organizations that afford me access to a whole field of great minds to ask questions to.
As mentioned in the title, I’m in the process of developing a new department at my company and have a timeline of roughly a year to get it off the ground while also training someone to fill my current position. I expect this to come with a job title change and pay raise but that has not been fully fleshed out yet.

Yes, both my husband and I have Income Share Agreements…. I would NOT recommend this to ANYONE EVER. We were taken advantage of by the university we attended and were lied to about the funding source and purpose. Ended up being that our university partnered with a huge hedge fund to fund Income Share Agreements with false projected salaries to make future payment assumptions upon. In my husband’s case, we will pay less than he borrowed but for me, I will pay more than I borrowed. We are 4 years into our 10-year income share agreements. Unfortunately, not covered in any borrower’s defense and despite a lot of local media coverage there has been so collective action lawsuit or anything for us to take part in so we’re just kind of screwed. If we lose our jobs however the payment goes to $0 so there are a few measures in place that give us a little bit of protection.

Wednesday: Z wakes up before me to get ready to go into the office. He goes in about two times a month but it’s about 75 minutes from our house. I get up after a few additional snoozes on the alarm and get ready. He heads out and I scoop the litter boxes, play with the cats, make my coffee, fill my water bottle, and head out as well. I get to the office, boot up my computer, put together a task list for the day, and update some projects I’m working on. After a 90-minute marketing meeting, I take a phone call from someone who is driving up some pretty crucial samples to my laboratory from a farming operation in Illinois. They’ll be here in about 2 hours. I grab my purse and head out into the nearest town to go purchase a dishwasher (company’s dime, not mine!) for the laboratory we are about 3 weeks from being completely done with building. I designed almost every aspect of this new laboratory, and even did the 3D proof of concept design drawing myself! I’m not sure how many people can say they’ve had as much involvement in a project like this or have been on the receiving end of such an amazing investment for not only the company but for the operation and logistics of our laboratory.
While in town, I pick up a Subway sandwich and bring it back to the office to have for lunch. $12.29. While eating my lunch I see my local yoga/pilates studio I attend is partnering with a local independent bookstore for an event next week that will benefit the bookstore. They are trying to expand into a second location and are fundraising to make it happen. The class is a $25 donation that the studio will match. I sign up. $25. When the samples arrive, I start doing an algal ID while my lab tech starts on the water quality. I’m walking around boxes as we are partially trying to pack and partially trying to still keep necessary supplies accessible. We currently work in about 100 sqft of area… Our 2000 sq ft space can not be finished fast enough.
I write up a report, do my time card for the past three days, and get the heck out of the office after summarizing some meeting notes into my project management software into some action items for further developing the new department I’m working on getting off the ground. I’ll work more on this tomorrow if time allows. It’s grocery pick up day! Groceries end up being $109.62 after some substitutions and unfulfilled items. I fill up the gas tank on the car for $38.52. The second car only gets filled up maybe once every other month depending on how much we’ve got going on. I drop the groceries off at home and get started on dishes and dinner while Z attends the State of the City address by our mayor on his way home from work. Z is running for a county government position and we are very involved in local politics so we try to attend pretty much everything we can to keep up to date on the goings-ons, I just simply would not have made it to the meeting on time and could not stare at the sink being that full any longer.
Z gets home and we have Steak and asparagus. My attempt at zucchini fries is a horrendous and an absolutely gross mushy mess and does not get eaten. We watch New Girl (Season 4) and then I eventually fall asleep on the couch while Z plays video games until about 10pm when he wakes me up to go to bed. We put the house to bed and then ourselves to bed.

Thursday: Z and I wake up, shower, and get ready. I fill up my water bottle, make my coffee, and head out the door VERY sluggish this morning. No need to pack my lunch as we are having lunch catered by the dealership where we buy our work trucks. We placed a truck order this year in the $X,XXX,XXX number range and made some promotional videos that went semi-viral so a thank-you lunch is being provided. I make some edits to a document I’m supposed to have done before our research meeting right before the meeting… and then sit through a 2-hour long meeting going over the year's research projects at all of our office locations. After that, some of us stayed to talk about a specific project call that is happening at noon to talk through specifics on the plan for management and monitoring this year as it is a VERY complicated water body with very complicated regulations. I’m not actually in the project call later, but I’ll be looking at these samples so getting a gist on the project is always helpful.
Lunch is wonderful and I snag some brownies to bring home for Z and I. Our CEO is in the office and we spend a long time talking about the goings-on in the area and I update them on the political issues around town as they snowbird part of the year. After a very long lunch, I get back to work and start working on a presentation outline for a conference I’ll be attending in 2 ½ weeks that I should have started a lot sooner. I eventually hit a wall with this and ID some algae that came in during the morning of meetings. After that, I check in on the task list I’ve got for the department I’m working on developing. There’s a bit of laboratory research we are working on accomplishing so that we can determine the viability of this new operational department so I review an SOP we are working on updating and set up a game plan for the next time we will tackling the method again. I leave work at about 4:45 to get to town for a 5:30 yoga class before heading home. I purchased an unlimited class pass for $99/month. I typically attend somewhere between 15-25 classes a month and will do two classes on Saturday’s sometimes depending on whose teaching and what classes are in rotation! I’d guess I pay about $7/class on average once you work in the very occasional late cancelation fee.
I get home around 6:45 and head upstairs to Z’s office to hang out with him and the cats. We do some work getting his schedule together for campaign things, talk about the letter to the editor he’s writing, and chat about our weekend plans. By the time we realize what time it is, we realize we need to make dinner. We phone it in and have a freschetta frozen pizza and have some devils lettuce while it cooks. We catch up on some youtube, watch two more episodes of New Girl to finish Season 4, and then I read a library book before going to bed at 10pm. Z joins me around midnight after spending a lot of time thinking about the city’s poor transportation and working more on his letter to the editor.

Friday: I wake up feeling refreshed. I get ready, fill up my water bottle, and make my coffee and my lunch (Turkey & Pepperjack sandwich, fancy yogurt, granola bar, some cheese, & clementines). There’s only a tiny bit of turkey leftover after my sandwich so I split the turkey between our two cats. Both our cats have M names but two insanely different personalities. One is a grandpa in a 2-year-old cat body, the other is a hellbender. I give the hellbender some first and then run over to the other cat and give him his half and then run back over to the hellbender and scatter some tiny pieces around him so it takes him longer to eat it to give grandpa a fair shot at eating his before hellbender can run over and steal his treats. Z helps me give Grandpa a fair chance by giving some encouraging pets.
Off to work and today I’m doing more lab work than I normally do as my lab tech is working from home so she could spend time with family and her twin sister. I try to be as fair and compassionate of a manager as humanly possible, especially since our ETO policy really sucks the first year of employment at just 40 hours of ETO. Before heading into the lab, I ask my mom if she wants to come up to a yoga class on Sunday with me if I buy brunch and she signs up for class. $7 I live about 90 minutes from my parents so we are always trying to find good excuses to get together. Then I use $30 in coupons I have for American Eagle to buy more of my favorite leggings that are on clearance. $27.78 I hope they aren’t getting rid of this style as it is my favorite legging I’ve had in YEARS. I work on some water quality, clean up the laboratory, and start packing some of our equipment into boxes that we won’t need in the next two weeks. We move into the new lab space in approximately 2 weeks! Speaking of which, I head over to the new lab and check on the progress so far. They have installed carpet in the office space and are installing cabinets in our dark room and bathrooms today! By lunchtime I’ve got a ton of reports to generate, lots of phone calls to make, still need to email out some results, and work on my conference presentation some more. I call it quits around 2:45 and head home. I’m over 40 hours for the week and don’t have anything else that HAS to get done today.
On my way home, Z’s dad texts us about going to an open sensory gym this evening with Z’s niblings. I ask if Z’s dad will bring us some bikes (I’m hoping to learn how to ride a bike soon!) and that I’d see him there to help with keeping the kids in line. Z and I chat and talk about our weekend plans when I get home, but I’m not home for long before heading off to my 4:30 yoga class. After yoga I drive home to switch cars so I can better fit bikes in the back of the car and drive off to the open gym. Z stays home and starts on some spring cleaning tasks. We are only just now, over 5 years into our relationship really learning how to divide and conquer but we are honestly crushing it. It ends up just being my father in-law and I and two of the three niblings but we still have a lot of fun! My father in-law loses in glasses in a ball pit at some point so the next time I’m in it with my neice, I hunt them down for him. I teach my two-year-old niece how to use a water fountain, and I think it’s her favorite thing at the whole gymnasium. It’s raining really bad when they close the gym, so we drop off the kids at their house and say goodnight then meet back at my house where my father in law backs his car up to our garage and we put the bikes in the garage. He even gives up a bike rack we can attach to the back of our car. It’s 7:30pm and dinner hasn’t been started yet, so I head inside why Z and his dad chat in the garage and start making a really quick stir fry with some frozen veggies, leftover zucchini, and leftover steak. I use a store bought sauce that I fancy up with some spices and seasonings in the pantry and dinner is ready in 20 minutes. We watch the last episode of The Curse by Nathan Fielder and it’s so insanely trippy I can’t even begin to summarize my thoughts. I read through the subreddit for The Curse and read a few reviews I found online before calling it a night.

Saturday: Saturday’s are usually our spendiest days as we tend to do a lot of our out-of-house shopping tasks on Saturday. Z and I wake up at 8am and start getting ready. I’m doing a double header of classes at the studio this morning so I get into workout gear and spend way too long braiding my hair. Usually Z will come downtown with me and work in a coffee shop on campaign things while I’m in class but he’s no where near ready when I need to leave for class or I’ll be late. He decides to stay home and do a few more spring cleaning tasks and we’ll go out when I get back. First up in a 45 minute group strength class where we work on muscle groups from largest to smallest, set to music and it’s SO FUN. It’s my first time ever doing this class but it itches that recovering marching band addict in my brain. After that, I do an hour long restorative yoga class and feel nice and refreshed afterwards. $14
I call Z after class and we discuss lunch options which results in me driving over to our favorite local deli and it’s closed so I drive home. I’m ravenous after two back to back classes and start eating trail mix while Z gets ready. We decide to grab Tropical Smoothie Cafe $25 before making a return at Joann Fabrics $11 and going to get cat food and litter. $79 We also end up in Target for a lot of household needs and they got a target circle deal for $15 gift card if you buy $50 in household care items. We also bought some easter candy and ice cream, a cute toy for the cats, refill razors for Z, conditioner, a new pair of tennis shoes and some socks for me, and two shirts for Z for work/campaigning. $178
We head home after this and put away everything we got while we were out. We open the cats new toy and play with them with it, before hanging out on the couch where I end up taking a two hour nap. When I wake up I feel really refreshed and my oura ring scores shot way up. I make dinner of meatloaf, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes. From here, the rest of our evening is just eating dinner and watching Poor Things. I end up having a mini ice cream sandwich with a spoon of whipped cream and fall asleep pretty early.

Sunday: I wake up at about 8am which is actually 7am but time change :( . I send my mom a text to make sure she’s up and coming to 10am yoga. She’s heading out soon! My quads are so insanely stiff and sore this morning. I struggle a lot with DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and have my entire life so this pain will only get worse for the next 24-48 hours. I stretch and get changed and work on writing this MD which feels very meta. I head out to yoga with a game plan to call Z when mom and I are done so he can join us for brunch in town. I get to the studio and set up props for mom and I and chat with some of the girls in the studio who are also very sore from the weights class on Saturday. Mom cuts it close, but makes it in the studio and gets set up just in time for class to start. I love this instructor SO much, she teaches a very dynamic stretching flow for all skill levels and shows an awesome variation for pigeon pose that uses a bolster that my mom and I gush over after class. $7 I call Z and let him know we are heading over to the restaurant for brunch.
I’m the person that loves to share food when eating with family. My mom orders a breakfast pizza, Z orders stuffed french toast w/ half order of biscuits and gravy, and I get coffee cake w/ a side of bacon. I eat a piece of my moms breakfast pizza and it is so insanely good. I dip my crust in some of Z’s gravy. The coffee cake is orange and sage flavored and this is not the first time I’ve had it. Z’s french toast is good, but not for me. He thinks the coffee cake is too sweet, so we end up with our respective meals. Typically we are a switch meals half way through kind of couple. Z pays because our rewards account is under his card, and we end up with 11 dollars off our meal. $47 w/ 25% tip. I drive my mom back to her car and we end up sitting around gossiping for a bit before she heads home. I get home and change into pj’s and play with the cats for a bit with their new toy. Z updates me on the outline he’s putting together for a project he and a friend are working on. I hang out on the couch with grandpa at my feet and play switch for a few hours. I’m really late to the game, but I’m currently playing Tears of the Kingdom and working on the Fire Temple. I ask Z to switch spots with me so I can charge the switch and play on the monitor at our desk. We do this/Z ends up playing Baulders Gate 3 until dinner time. We almost always order food on Sunday nights and make the poor decision to order Taco Bell after partaking in some devil’s lettuce. $37 w/ tip. We have dinner and watch youtube on the couch for an hour before I head off to bed.

Monday: Waking up really sucks today, it’s dark out and hellbender bites at my feet after our first alarm so I don’t even get to enjoy hitting snooze. Z and I shower, get ready, and I get out the door later that normal. I’m at the office by 8:30am but today our sewer line is being replaced… we are not allowed to use the bathroom after 9:15am. We have some auto transfers that happen every monday. $50’s each to our brokerage accounts and $100 each to our Roth IRAs. $300 total. By 10:45 I already have to pee and decide I’ll see how poorly this whole toilets thing is going for everyone else. Someone at my office is 39 weeks pregnant so she has claimed a bathroom as hers and is just peeing ontop of her own pee at this point. I’m definitely not up to peeing on top of my coworkers pee or trying to squat in view of the many cameras on property so I get in my car and head to the closest gas station. Halfway into my ten mile drive back into civilization I realize I’m going to be spending 30 minutes of my life today just going pee ONCE and that there is no way in hell that me, someone who pees every 60-75 minutes, am working from the office in this condition.
I text my supervisor to inform her and update my lab tech that she can go home if she wishes and work from home. I head home, have lunch with Z and set up at the desk in the living room to work on my powerpoint for the conference next week. This is the same location where I play switch a lot, so it’s a lot of fighting myself to get work done and not just say fuck it and do what I want to do instead. I make it to 4pm before caving and playing some tears of the kingdom until I need to leave for my 5:15 warm yoga class. My legs aren’t hurting as bad as they did this morning thank goodness, or I would not have made it through class. $7 I stop at Aldi and grab a bag of lettuce, chicken, coffee, two yakisoba noodles for Z, and dryer sheets. $18.12 I stop and get gas for car #1. $33 I want to make a pasta with some leftover veggies, but I meant to pick up some frozen garlic knots at aldi but forgot. I decide I’ll try and make them myself which I’ve done a few times. They turn out… okay. I should have added more salt to the dough but they still get the job done! We end up with a zucchini, onion, and pea alfredo pasta with the last of our leftover steak.
Z and I watch the first episode of season 5 of New Girl and then we clean up the kitchen. I make us brownie sundaes with leftover brownies from the catered lunch last week that I brought home. I always forget home much I love rainbow sprinkles! I play Switch for an hour before Z and I go to bed around 9:30pm.

Tuesday:
Getting up sucks again! I wake up and hellbender has all 4 of his paws touching my back which is cute. I get ready and pack my lunch (leftovers from last night). Z is reading on the couch when I leave, man what I would give to not have to commute every day. Lots of weird tasks today, I order a chemical cabinet that I should have ordered last week as well as I make an order for more sampling bottles for some of our remote offices. I work on my presentation until lunch time when my coworker and I head up to the new laboratory to see the office furniture is being built! It looks so good! After lunch, I’ve got an email from a lake we work closely with wanting to partner on a case study that will help bring the department I’m working on starting into fruition. I spend the next three hours deeply focused on creating some guidance documents, identifying the needs we will need to develop this project, reading a research paper that outlines a similar case study I would want to utilize as a guide, and chatting with my coworkers about the feasibility of doing this project as a cost-share project. The whole idea of this new department is to address the ROOT causation of harmful algal blooms and nuisance aquatic vegetation via sediment analysis and phosphorus management. I make some notes to bring to my coworkers who are helping guide me on this journey of mine as they are mentoring me through this process as they both have started and grown their own departments at our company.
I start packing up around 3:45 so I can make it to my 4:30 pilates reformer class. When I get to the studio it’s just 3 of today and it’s a pretty great but quick workout. My instructor is about to be gone for approximately 8 weeks without anyone replacing her and I’m going to miss these pilates classes while shes off doing some training hours and getting some medical work done. I stay after class chatting with her and helping clean up the studio. $7 While I was in class, Z went to the bank to work on getting his bank account for his campaign. They can’t help him because they aren’t sure what to do? So he goes to lowes and buys some new lights for our kitchen. He spends $17.48. I head home and tell Z we have to go outside it’s so nice today. His idea of fun is to get on the roof and clean our dryer vent…. I hold the ladder to help get him up there but once he’s up there I go around to the garden beds and pull weeds and leftover stems from last season that I never pulled out. I left my tomatoes and peppers in the ground to try and encourage any leftover fruit/vegetables on the stems to leave some seeds behind to volunteer plant themselves so I don’t have to buy new starts (I’ve grown my own seedlings before, I just didn’t have the time this year with Z running for local office). The dry stems staying up over fall and winter can also provide a safe place for overwintering bugs in their egg or pupae state, before pulling them up I make sure that theres no stragglers but they are all clear. I have almost an entire garden bed of strawberries already growing and my rhubarb in the same bed is poking through the dirt! I trim back the asparagus stems I left up as well for bug habitat. Z is done on the roof so I hold the ladder so he can come down. The cats are sitting at the back window and looking at us so concerned it’s frankly adorable.
We have a jack’s pizza for dinner with salad on the side. I have a bowl of vanilla ice cream with a ton of rainbow sprinkles as we watch 2 episodes of New Girl and then play our respective video games. Another night of going to bed earlier than normal at 9:30 as I still feel so messed up from the time change.

Reflection: It’s really interesting to write up a new money diary! First, reflecting on how my life has changed since my first money diary. We have had some lifestyle creep since our last diary. I attended a LOT of classes this week, which was more than I think I’ve ever attended before at my studio but we had some really awesome classes that aligned with my schedule during this time period. There a lot of things that have changed in our lives, like 2 cat additions we didn’t have and we have slowed down our lego collecting a LOT since early pandemic days. We still have a LOT of legos, but we routinely take them apart and let our friends build them/use them as decor in their homes too. I never expected to see my salary change as dramatically but it has been a huge blessing since my husband has had 1-2% salary increases annually since starting his job right after my first money diary.
Reflecting on this week in particular, there was a dramatic LACK of entertainment spending which is VERY not like us. We usually have SOME sort of entertainment expense each week wether it’s for future concerts/events or simple stuff like the movies or buying a new video game. We have both been playing games we’ve had for a long time, focusing on local events that tend to be free, or don’t have a ton of plans coming up as we have a long summer of doorknocking ahead of us for Z’s campaign. Our next big trip is in September for a string of concerts for our favorite band in Red Rocks, The Gorge, and several venues in the PNW. But it shouldn’t be too expensive as we will be camping and hosteling with friends as we travel around. We definitely spend more on food/eating out than necessary, but it is better than it has been in the past! It definitely still fits within our 50/30/20 so I’m not too worried about it.
