What I'm pleased about is the fact the Pixel 6 Pro is a relative bargain at $899 (128GB). Compared to the S21 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro (or whatever it's called), it's a steal IMHO. I came from an older Pixel 3 which was a great phone and much smaller. They gave me a $600 credit for a trade-in which surprised me. $300 out of pocket ain't bad at all.

It took me a while to get used to this monster sized phone but I like it now. Camera is phenomenal. I got used to having a more pure Android experience w/o all the crap that most manufactures force into their phones, including Samsung. Some features are exclusive to the Pixel which I like.

Magic Eraser feature is pretty cool.
They gave me $800 trade in for my S7 so the S21, which is normally $800 now, was completely free. Yeah, you got a good deal as well. I prefer a more pure Android experience as well but it is what it is... maybe I'll try again in another 5 years lol

That is a spectacular monitor! To $$$$ currently but like all electronics, it will reduce eventually.

Probably an immature impulse buy...but sometimes you gotta know how it's responding before track day.

Nice part - magnetizes right on the center speaker.

Cancelled season tickets when Manny Diaz was hired. He’s gone so I’m back.

Although not invisible, it disappears quickly.

It just occurred to me what the jars you are referencing were for. I'm a little slow today.

The contents of my jars are something to behold.

Lol, that's okay. I'm fairly certain very few people understood the reference. It was a short lived topic before someone got their panties in a bunch. My point is still the same. I want what's in your jar if given a choice.

Oh I see. I was gonna say thank goodness for Japanese Microsoft IME if needing to write in Japanese language. Much easier than trying to remember the layout of that keyboard.

Professional grill cleaning for my 6-year old grill. Second time I’ve had it done and this was a different vendor. Probably a little cleaner that I would have gotten it, but not blown away by results. They all have websites that make it seem like an old grill can be made to look like brand new. It’s clean, but nowhere near brand new-looking. It did save me a good 2-3 hours I don’t have though.

That's an outstanding job Rick. How bad was it initially though?
