WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Wow, that's quite some snow. Sounds like it's an annoying combination today. Does this mean that you get a breather for a little bit?

Not really. We're going to be having a teleconference meeting starting in 30 minutes.

I figured that would happen but thought that it wouldn't hurt to ask. Good luck with your meeting and the rest of the snowy day.

We'll, running around today...while I don't have the snow like 99, I dealt with that light snow/rain crap.

Have to stop on the way in to wolf down some lunch before a busy afternoon.

MIA, I recall you already having the Oreo beta but apparently Essential is rolling out the public release of it today: https://www.phonearena.com/news/Essential-Phone-Android-Oreo-update-release_id103188

Speaking of, since you're hanging out with the Pixel 2, have you missed the size/build of the Essential or you're good?

Thanks for letting me know. I still have Andy's phone so I'll do the official update.

Essentially (pun intended), I prefer the design, storage, screen size and in-hand feel of Andy's phone but everything else is better on the lil Pixie dust.

What I'd like to do is turn it into a V30...

On-site meeting got cancelled today. Too windy out there and the snow is coming down in spades. Here's how things look outside from my hotel room.//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180313/178f3f7486723004b1d7d7e89f9514eb.jpg

Common, that’s a dusting where I come from!

You're welcome. All of those points make sense for you. I can relate to that feeling.

That would be awesome.

Just took this outside the one open restaurant - most other places are closed.

It looks messy there in your second shot. Wow that the whole statue is basically covered.

Here's the view from the car, 2 minutes before we got to the restaurant.

Wow.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Wow.

Yeah, it's like almost 20 inches of snow give or take.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Well, I must say that I have to be careful of the watch complications I use. I switched to my old watch face after a few days of the new ones that showed it was a battery hog. I liked the complications of the watch, but a dead watch is worse.

I'm curious to see how Google will improve the OS after the rebranding.

Looks like I can still make this old jambalaya recipe I found a few years back. Always nice to have certain recipes in memory...

The Fitbit Versa looks very interesting. Would I buy one now? Nope.

Could I recommend one? Possibly. Not seeing anything about if it uses standard straps...but if it does, it can sell. It looks like a potential hit at $200 and an upgrade to the Blaze.

I do like it but I agree with you about the straps thing.

It's a phone I still like. There's a part of me that wants to keep it and park it in the bench as a back up for the Pixel 2, but there's a part of me that also would prefer to get a V30 for it as I'd be more likely to use them both (and OK with parking the Mi Note 2 with the 950XL).

I do like the look...a modern Pebble. I'm curious to read the reviews.
