    Does anyone still use a clock radio or traditional alarm clock

    I do have a clock radio in the bedroom still. It's one of the old-school ones. It has the correct time but I haven't set an alarm on it in years. I've since moved to an Amazon Echo Spot for an alarm... Everything in our house is voice controlled now either by an Amazon or Google product.

    Anyone taking online college classes this summer?

    Get it done and get it behind you. It sounds like this is something you have been pursuing and want to complete. It will feel great when it is done. I just finished an MBA in Michigan. There were times where it was painful, but I'm glad I pursued the degree. I "digitally walk" on Friday next week.

    What do you spend on groceries per month?

    Talking groceries specifically.. We've been spending $200 a month between the two of us. We've spent a lot of time travelling December through February (skiing). Restaurants though... a lot. Now that we are at a shelter in place advisory, I'll have to update this figure..

    Working from home due to Corona Virus

    Fair Price on used axelback

    I have a Borla ATAK I bought two years ago on my car. In great shape but it is a bit loud for me... I'm looking for an S-type. I paid $700 used for my axelback I believe.

    Air compressors

    Typically you're right but I was actually impressed by the CAT dual piston system. I bought this one specifically for the dB rating and would say I'm pleased with it. It cycles a lot for big jobs because of tank size, but small things around the house while keeping noise down it is great. My...

    Air compressors

    Just picked up a California Air Tools compressor. Extremely impressed. It's only 60db too... It's a great household compressor. Great for a trim gun / small garage work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G75OUO8/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
