Just got a tankless hot water heater two weeks ago. It is a beast. Fights about who is using up all the hot water have ended.

Rawlings R9 Contour Fit Catcher's Mitt. If you have a catcher in the 7U-10U age range this is basically the only glove I've found that's worth a crap for those small kids. every grade school kid mitt we've ever used lasted about a half season before falling apart. We're going into season 2 with this thing and it seems like it may have an entire year left in it.

Hilariously I bought the bigger R9 (see you in middle school) before we got the contour and it's still in my office and I smack balls into it while I'm on meetings and crap all the time

Why?

I'm curious because I've been disappointed with the couple that I've owned and assumed they all kinda suck (pun intended).

Has a dock to self clean out the vacuum along with sucking well. Has two mop heads on the back that spin that perform really well. The dock also self cleans the mop heads and refills the water. It's the only one I've had that actually mops well. I can take a paper towel to the floor after and get no dirt.

Also Roborocks are super smart mapping wise so can just clean one room and it precisely cleans that room.

so it doesn't immediately go to the only 2 spots in your house where it will get stuck like all of the rest of them do?

I can't remember where I left this but I got a Robrorock Revo Q middle of last year and still absolutely loving it. I haven't done much research since then so maybe they've upgraded? I'd definitely stick with RoboRock. I have another buddy more into them than I am and he is switching all over to RR. The revo Q cleans hardwood great and is super smart to not get rugs wet for example. My affiliate link full disclosure.

EcoFlow River 2 Pro just ran my tailgate (TV and cell phone charging as a hotspot). Said it would run 16 hours under that load. It also is strong enough to run my full sized freezer. Says 6 hours but that's when compressor is running so guessing like double that.

Now looking to add some solar panels to run it indefinitely if needed. I know nothing about good/bad panels.

Been researching these things forever and haven't pulled the trigger. I've been looking at Jackery. We lose power all the freaking time and get it back on last. I'm actually looking at a whole house, but have thought about getting a batter power generator to supplement my little gas one if the whole house one falls through. It would be nice to have one I can use inside the house while the gas one runs outside.

yeah I don't lose power much so wanted a very portable one but big enough to help out an appliance or two if it came to it. I'm happy with it. Yeah can go nuts looking at all the brands and sizing.

I bought a reusable disposable-type of camera and it’s been a lot of fun to take out and mess with. Pictures look nostalgic and more in the moment. The shittiness of the image quality is a vibe. Also fun waiting for pictures to be developed. Have since bought a decent film camera from 1982 that I’m excited to try out.

One of my kids has an app that will take pictures and then "develop" them later. They come out looking like they were taken in the 90's -- even have a time stamp on the bottom. She got some really cool ones on vacation last summer with it.

I have my dad's old film camera (Canon FTb) and it is really fun to use. If you like color photography, I would recommend getting your hands on some Kodak Porta 400 film. If you prefer B/W Kodak Tri-X 400 is fun to use. I've enjoyed messing around with using it in lower light conditions and asking the photo lab to "push" the exposure. (apologies if you already knew all of that....) Which film camera do you have?
