    I need to start using a timer when I'm heating up soup, and go on INGO for a "minute".
    Dont know if you have a google home or alexa type device in your house, but that is what I use. Yell out that I need a timer, and the whole house sounds like there's an incoming missile at the end of the timer.

    Could be the SWAT team coming in because Alexa thought you were building a B***!

    Yep, I have an Alexa timer going for my chicken in the oven as we speak. Also great for Daisy's three times a day eyedrops. I can set a reminder for her 2:00 pm drops, which I seem to forget sometimes. She has two sets of drops that have to be given 15 minutes apart, so after the first set, I can set a timer for 15 minutes to give the next set.

    It doesn't matter, you have a smart phone.

    I saw a kids show on PBS listed last night and thought the name was funny and said it out loud.

    Two seconds later my wife laughs and shows me her phone. it had pulled up the show on its own.

    Well, my phone hasn't pulled anything up. Unless I've done a search for it, and then i see ads in Amazon for it.

    Course, I don't use any voice activated features.
    I abhor voice activated features. Well, except being able to get a song in the car off the flash drive, without paging through thousands of songs.

    Just ran the snow blower. Kinda light stuff. But...
    1) I don't like to risk missing more work due to my back, and twisting all them times is a big risk.
    2) I needed to test that the locktite kept the collars and set screw on.

    Test is GOOD.
    I shoulda done that the first time.
