GALSOAR 10x20FT Carport

From what I have seen, this is as well built as they described. The poles, tarp, and cables are all well-constructed and should last. I mean, no tarp or frame will withstand a crazy wind gust, but I think if you anchor this down well, it will do a really good job at trying.  

I love that the poles have push pins on them that snap into the hole on the other post to hold them in place. They aren’t going anyplace once in place. The tarp also comes with heavy-duty ball bungee fasteners that make putting this up and down, a piece of cake.

This does take a little time to put up and down and is made more for a long term use rather than a quick couple of hours on the same day and there are no sides to this, so if you only need coverage from the top, this is perfect.

This is 8.5 feet high in the middle and should fit most cars, trucks, and SUV under it with no problem. The sides are 6.5 feet high, so pretty much all people will fit under that as well.

These legs come with a flat bottom with holes in it to anchor to the ground with six ropes and stakes. The rope and stakes maybe the week point in all this. They work, but for a long term and better tie-downs, I would get thicker rope and bigger stakes and if you are going to use this on a hard surface, you will need some 5-gallon bucks/cinder blocks  and some sand or concrete to hold this down with.

Sintave USB Charging Green Light Demonstration Projector Pen

I have AA battery-operated laser lights I use to play with the cats and those are ok, but this one with a rechargeable 18650 battery is way better than those. This laser is not only bright but seems to go for miles. I love that I can see the beam in the air as I shine it. This is the one that you go to jail for if you shine it at a plane flying overhead (so don’t do that).

As a bonus, there is a star cap that screws on the tip that allows you to turn it and create a star or flower-like pattern(s) instead of a beam, very fun to play with and something different. I have Christmas lights that do the same thing and they cover the whole house and look very cool.  

This comes with a micro USB charging cable and can be charged using about anything that has a USB plug on it. PC, laptop, battery pack, wall outlet, you name it.

At almost 7 inches long and almost 1-inch round, this is a big laser light, but still small enough to fit in a pocket or purse and still very portable when needed. The 18650 is a pretty big battery as well and does take a couple of hours to fully charge it but seems to last forever once you do.

24-LED Rechargeable Motion Sensor Closet Light

I have been adding these kinds of lights all over my dark 100-year-old house that has very little light, to begin with, and these are great. They are a little bigger than my other ones and give off a little more light which is great in my dark landing heading to the basement.

I love that these are rechargeable and don’t need batteries and that you can either use the tape or magnet to attach these to anything. I have these on metal and wood and they do not come off very easily. I just recharge them every few months depending on how often they come on and get used and when I start to see the light is getting a little dimmer. It only takes about an hour to fully charge one of these when it is about dead if you use a wall adapter and plug it in. Takes a little longer if just using a USB port on something.

These type lights are not only great for closets, hallways, steps and under the cabinet but great for in the cabinet as well. It really helps me see in the deep back kitchen cabinets that I have. I swapped out my smaller ones for these in the hallways and landing and moved the smaller ones inside the cabinets.

There is only one switch on this to operate it and it couldn’t be any easier to use and they use a micro USB cable to charge them, I bet you have 100 of them laying around like I do since they come with everything nowadays.

1MORE Stylus True Wireless Earbuds

If you made it this far, then you already know how great these are and that these are being compared to the other two giants in the game, the Apple Air pods and Samsung Galaxy Buds and, on most comparisons, these come out on top and at a lower cost.

The battery lasts all day at work if I charge them in the case while I go to lunch and I don’t need to charge the case for three days. If you use them continuously, you will get around 6 hours of playtime depending on how high you keep the volume on these. Play it low and get over 6 hours or play it high and get under 6 hours.

The case is your normal clam case and the earbuds fit and charge great in it and its small enough to easily fit in your pocket or purse. It is a plastic case, but most are.

Number one complaint on these, they don’t fit my ears. I understand that, but that is all earbuds and really, just depends on your ear shape. They do their best to give you different silicone earpieces and ear fins to try and make them fit everyone, but have you looked at people’s ears? Everyone is different. I bet both ears on the same person are not the same on most people.  

Overall, I understand these are wireless and not going to play like the top of the line headphones, but these are very nice, sound great to me and I like them.

Encrypted USB Flash Drive, 32 GB Keypad Secure FIPS Certified Memory Stick, Military Grade Hardware U Disk with Password Protection, Personal USB 2.0 AES 256-bit Encryption by STNTUS INNOVATIONS

This is the best flash drive I have ever owned. I love this. It is a little on the big size for a flash drive, but it can be encrypted and is IP57 waterproof. What is not to like? It can be used with or without the encryption and will save you a little bit of time not having to open the encrypted files each time but that is its best feature and worth using. I have always worried about my info getting lost or stolen, but not anymore. It will even auto-lock after a predetermined amount of time to protect your data if you leave it lying around and forgot about it.

This does feel a little on the heavy side, but it is made from zinc alloy to stop tampering with it. Much better than those plastic flash drives. The keypad is big enough and easy enough to push without any issues.

This does take a couple of minutes to set up and get encrypted but it is pretty straightforward and easy to do and once set up, you use it just like any other flash drive except you have to enter the passcode you created to see the files. If not, you see one giant file that is encrypted and unreadable. Don’t worry if you forgot your password or locked yourself out, contact the company and they can get you back in.

Roffie White Noise Machine

Not sure who likes or needs this more, the wife or my grandson when he stays here? They both are very light sleepers and need something to help them sleep. The TV works to a point but this noise machine from Roffie works so much better and gives you 30 different sounds with 35 sound levels. You have sounded like the normal white noise (static), thunderstorm, fan, brook, ocean wave. You can find something you will like.

Uses a micro USB plug (bet you have 20 layings around if you need another one) to power it. Have 5 buttons on the front that make it very easy to operate and has an auto timer and will shut off by itself if needed.    

The sound level gets high if needed and seems to drown out all the other noises in the house when used. Everyone seems to be happy with it so far.

SkyGenius Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

This is a great little battery-operated fan. Works great on the golf cart, next to my laptop, on the baby stroller or any place else I can take it. It is very easy to operate and lasts forever. I have multiple 18650 rechargeable batteries, so I always have one charged and ready to go. These 2600 mAh batteries do take a little while to charge but last a very long time based on how high you operate the fan. The higher the speed, the less time you get but I have never run out of battery while I have used this. The clip holds on very well and has never fallen or come off without me taking it off.
