My wife and I are interested in that. I have been reading up and really do feel like they're the future, but I just can't find anyone with any experience in East Tennessee to go get a consultation with. I'd buy one tomorrow if I could get face to face with someone and have them walk me through the process in person.

I worked at a place that did pre fab homes for Habitat for Humanity. Man it was a really neat job. To see your work house a family in need is truly fulfilling.

But the president by the name of Russel Meade and some of his cronies ran the place into the ground. He'd show up for 4 hours a week and create havoc. Made well over $250K and his vice prez was an incompetent douche as well. We built provided 48 houses that year and filed bankruptcy. Screw those dudes. They legit are two of the biggest turds I've ever met.

Never understood earbuds. At all. Overpriced. Feel weird in your ear and fall out while running. Overheat (the wireless ones). Cheaply made. Poor sound and bass. Fall apart all the time.

You can get great sounding on-ear or over-ear full headphones these days, wireless for $20. And you can get all that, along with studio quality sound for production and noise cancellation for $70+.

People going back to wired buds could be more cost-effective and give better sound for the price I suppose, if you don't run/mind the wires. But imo once you go wireless on/over ear, there's no going back.

Literally none of those negatives you listed are true about the earbuds I’ve worn 5 days a week for a year.

I liken that to bringing in a manager who believes contractors and contracted services are better than the existing in-house skills, and bringing in a manager who values the existing personnel and puts them in positions to succeed. Totally different mindset and relationship models.

Ok, I'll quit mentioning gambling after this, it's just something new to me and I've never really won anything via the lottery, casino, sportsbook, etc., so I'm definitely feeling the excitement over how lucky I've been.

A couple of y'all asked what I'd bet next. I picked an 8 leg parlay (I think that's what it's called) that is +3706. This time I'm just putting $25 on it, because the book will insure a lost bet up to $25 one time. If I lose, I get $25 in site credit, if I win, I get like $925. I figure I'm gonna bet $25 here and there anyway, might as well test my luck.

If you win this…

I have some questions for you as I’m going to Oaklawn and Hot Springs this weekend.

I feel about like I did with the other 2, 100% expecting to lose. If by some miracle it hits, incredible. If it doesn't, at least I still get the $ back.

We'll know pretty soon either way, it's the football game being played tonight.

Parlays are tough to hit…at least consistently. I only do 2 or 3 bet parlays because the odds are not in your favor when there are more.

This is weird. But this is also seems like an appropriate time for me to vent about AirPods.

I have AirPod pros. Yet I only use them now to work out and use my old wired headphones for phone calls. So I spent all that money for headphones I can only use some of the time.

Used the pros at first but had multiple people complain that I would go from sounding normal to sounding really far away. And maybe would’ve walked like 10 feet in that time. And they complained about background noise.

Anyone else?

I use the AirPod Pros for work calls and main reason I got them was because the computer mic would sound like a wind tunnel at times. My co-workers say that I sound crystal clear now. Between dogs barking and a newborn downstairs I rarely get any complains on background noise and I’m a big fan of the transparency mode. Overall they have been great for me.
