BOWIE CAM was killing my data limit with Xfinity, so I have to shut it down for now, while I contemplate other ways to keep track of him.
REVIEW: YAKIMA BACKSWING 8002483 HITCH RACK SWING AWAY ADAPTER YAKIMA BACKSWING 8002483 and TRIMAX RMBR4 HITCH MOUNT BIKE TRAY are a match made in heaven! OVERALL This YAKIMA BACKSWING 8002483 HITCH RACK SWING AWAY ADAPTER will make my biking and camping with bikes so much easier. I used to have a super heavy hanging hitch mount bike rack and I recently switched to the TRIMAX RMBR4 4 POSITION HITCH MOUNT BIKE TRAY / RACK. My old hanging rack weight about 80lbs and with 4 mountain bikes on it trying to dead lift it into “towing position” vs “loading position” took 2 people. [See my full review of TRIMAX RMBR4 ( here )] Especially for camping, I hated having to remove all the bikes and the hitch mount just to get to the back of my truck. The YAKIMA BACKSWING 8002483 HITCH RACK SWING AWAY ADAPTER solves the problem. Know that it pushes the whole bike rack back about 20 inches. However, I can now open the truck bed gate without problems. But more importantly, I can
LEGION T5 26AMR5: UPDATE TO WINDOWS 10 PRO BYPASS BIOS KEY (UPDATE 1) My first upgrade task was to to put a fresh build of Windows 10 Professional onto the LEGION gaming desktop. Why? Why not? Plus, I like a factory fresh build without built in bloatware. After putting in my own NVME (Samsung 980 pro PCI v4) into the M2 slot next to the CPU, it should have been easy to put a fresh install of windows. The problem was that windows would only read the built in Windows 10 Home Key from the LEGION BIOS and I could not get it to ask for key (like it used to do) so that I could install Windows 10 PRO. The old process was to go to MS and build an install disk for the OS type you had. MS decided instead to merge all the OS builds onto one image then the license key would determine what was installed. This is great in theory, but in practice it means that it always reads the key from the BIOS. Thanks to part of a post at superuser.com , I was able to make it work. STEP 1: Build a Windows
THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT FOR ME I like to write reviews for products and give advice to anyone who asks for it on topics like Travel, Tech Gadgets, Home Improvement, Etc. My intent is to let you know how I approached solving my particular needs. What worked, as well as what did not work, or even went horribly wrong. I make no claim to be an expert on any particular subject, just to share with you what I did, warts and all. I am very frugal and always looking for bargains. Sometimes that works, but as often as not it backfires and I end up spending more than expected due to unforeseen circumstances. My hope is to provide a little more context than a particular stand alone product review. Just because a product was good or bad, does not mean that you would use it the same way or have the same results. Chances are you can do it better, as I am just a hack at everything. A topic like reducing your cable bill by "cutting the cord" on cable TV, covers a dozen produc
