Motorola Blink1 Baby Monitor



This is only about 4"by 4", a little bitty thing.

I review a lot of products.   Frankly more of them make me frown than smile.  This product gave me a flat out grin.  Not only did it install easily, it works beautifully.   This is a home run!  This is truly a consumer product.  If you follow my reviews I am sure you have seen my dismay over products that claim to be consumer products and truly demand a technical education to install.   This install was flawless.  You do a simple reset of the camera before beginning and then install the free software from Google Play.   The software downloaded cleanly and also setup easily.  I put it on my tablet and my phone.   You will need the access name and password for your wifi but besides that you need nothing extra.  

The camera pans and tilts, it is not overwhelmed by outside or inside light.  It detects noise.  You can set up notifications for noise and temperature.   It really is a remarkable product and especially if you plan on using it as it is billed, a baby monitor.  You can even have it play lullabies’ for the baby.  After having purchased baby monitors in the past as gifts and going way back to the wired intercom I installed when my kids were babies,  the price is not out of line.   $249 at Amazon and as the commercials say, peace of mind, priceless.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
