There are lots of these lights advertised and after a bit 'o research, I found a set I liked that had great reviews - so I took a chance. Holy brightness, Batman! These worked fantastic for the garage and lit it up like daylight. I was skeptical because of the cheap crap 'as seen on TV' stuff, but love this set. Getting a set for my parents home because it's so dim in their 2.5 car garage.

Ignore the super bug-covered windshield in the pic - had a 7 hour drive the night before. :) And, yes I use a tennis ball hanging from the ceiling like your 90 yr old grandpa. I only have a couple inches clearance behind me - wanna make something of it? Your grandpa was a smart man - you should be ashamed of yourself for making fun of him like that! :grin::grin:

I'm more impressed with the fact that you can actually fit a car in your garage.

Nicee! What does the ball do again? I have seen it but I don't get why. This is a serious question.

The object of the game is to drive into your garage as fast as you can to hit the ball and make it touch the ceiling.:winktongue::evil:
Supposed to be a little of both. Mine is where if I'm not going fast enough when I hit the ball it won't hit the ceiling BUT if I'm going too fast, I won't be able to stop without crashing into the laundry room. Has gotten easier over the years as the garage kept getting bigger and the laundry room kept getting smaller from times I was off my game.

decided to upgrade my phone from a samsung galaxy note10+ to a samsung galaxyS21 Ultra. First time without a note since the original was released. Going to miss mst, microsd card and a couple other features but in the end, I am still happy with the new phone. Just about got it set up when I remember to post it here.

Coming soon, just bought a Surface Duo (AT&T locked version) on Woot's Amazon store

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3831452

I'm on Cricket but I read before that AT&T locked devices still work on Cricket since AT&T owns Cricket and uses their network. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work and I have to return it.

I cannot see why it would not work with cricket. I looked at it myself before getting the s21. Decided against it because it did not have nfc and did not know if all the health features of the samsung active 2 watch would work with it.

I also have an Active 2. I don't have NFC turned on and instead I have it connected via Bluetooth to my phone. Seems to work fine, however, I don't use the Samsung health app so I'm not sure what data is/isn't being transferred.

I was also under the impressions that companies couldn't stop consumers from unlocking their phones, or at least a person had to wait X amount of time before unlocking. Of course, a lot may have changed while Ajit Pai was in charge.

I am taking a wait and see attitude about the phone the op posted. I looked at it a last week just before ordering the s21 ultra and though I decided against it because of the reasons I previously stated, I would not have ordered it from that company. Shipping date was too far off and the price was way too low. I was not willing to take the risk. If it turned out to be a good bargain, then I may consider ordering from them the next time I need a phone. So HeyCoi remember to post when you get it.

as far as I know that had not change. You can unlock it as long as you fulfilled all obligations you made when you originally purchased it. I paid off my 10+ about a year ago and within days got an email from att stating I could unlock it if I wanted.
