Oy

Let's see if the app posts without error.

Been busy working, and carving on the side.  :-)

It's that time of year. Carved anything lately?

This post is a review. I recently got a new Bluetooth speaker. Specifically this one:

CakFun Portable Bluetooth Speaker 4.0 Outdoor Waterproof Wireless Dual Speakers System for iPhones with Bass Subwoofer, Fm Radio, Microphone - Army Green

This is a pretty cool Bluetooth speaker. It's bigger than the oontz one I had before getting this. It's not huge though. The olive green color and kinda rugged look is appealing visually. It has a carrying strap on the side which is a convenient way to carry it. I haven't tested the waterproof claim, but I appreciate that it should be. Using outside walking, hiking, or doing whatever it seems able to hold up well. It sounds really good when streaming  music to it from Spotify. Nice depth to the music. The battery life is a big plus! 8-10 hours of play is great.

This also has NFC, which is nice. It has a radio transmitter so you can listen to the local fm stations wherever you are. This is especially great if you want some tunes without needing to stream from your phone or tablet.

The only dislike I have is the voice when going to pair it. Which it easily does with both tablet and phone. The voice is both way loud and unpleasant. I would like to be able to turn it down at least and cannot see a way to do so.

This is a competitively priced speaker and good value for the price. Would recommend it if you are in the market for one.

Artsy coffee

A lovely way to start the day. Artsy organic micro roasted coffee! Along with a garlic bagel with cream cheese. Yum!

Another rainy day

Well, sort of. It's cold, overcast and raining lightly here and there.

Fall seems to have arrived indeed.

Time to consider electric blankets, and running stoves or heaters. Ah, that scent on the crisp air outside of a fireplace burning is lovely. Would you agree?

Mmm

Season change

This weekend has brought some rain and cool temps. 50s! It's amazing to think it is October already. Time flies for sure. All the more reason to be busy making gifts for Christmas since it is rapidly approaching.

But it is also pumpkin time! I sold one of the carves this past week on etsy. I am hoping for many more as well. I am going to carve another this coming week. Well, 2 probably since I also need something that conforms to a lot of the pumpkin carving contest rules. Which rules out recognized characters, etc.

Hm
