Transformer went. No voltage. Chime may still work, but they are cheap enough.

9th gen 10.2" iPad and mount for my trainer bike. I got tired of trying to read emails and texts on my iPhone when I'm cranking away on the trainer. This will make that a lot easier. And since Amazon was practically giving them away last week, it was a no-brainer.

And in my never ending quest to find inexpensive cameras that work well with Homekit, I grabbed a Tapo C520WS on sale. I'm hoping it works as well as the Tapo C120 cams I have.

I just installed two of these on Saturday after one of my older security cameras stopped working last week.

Got to love it when the 2 pack is more expensive than twice the price of the single one

Collapsible table for tailgate food prep. Need to look it over more as I think it should be a little taller but legs seem to resist extending further.

When it was in use, here is the meaning of opiniate that I found:

Adjective: Grounded on opinion or lacking firm factual bases
Transitive verb: To express one's opinion, especially in an uninformed or stubborn manner

Given the evolution of social media and extrapolating the future, this word needs to be dusted off and put back into common usage.

I think the modern term is "opine." At least that's what most crossword puzzles want for an answer.
