Landglide!

August 22, 2024

I am sure you have heard about Google Maps, Waze, Apple maps and more. Most of these mobile apps rely on the phone GPS and locations services for point-to-point navigation by car, bus or by foot on city streets.

You may not be aware of a whole other category of location-based mapping tools. These other navigation tools are optimized for outdoor activities on the lake, hiking, hunting and more.

Take a moment to read about Landglide. This location-based map integrates satellite, topography, contour data, flood zone data, and building information with publicly available property records!

As you walk or drive, Landglide will overlay your moving location onto a map highlighting all property boundaries. It provides address, acreage, land use type, valuations and ownership information – based on the publicly available property records that Landglide has accessed.

Don’t expect instant updates when property changes hands, and don’t be surprised if there are occasionally errors in the public databases. Do expect to have your curiosity satisfied about that big beach house or that old mansion on the outside of town.

Of course, if you work in real estate, construction or related fields – you will find this a valuable work aid, and the monthly or annual fee might be justified as a business expense.

Check out the landglide.com website and take a look at the Landglide YouTube Demo. Remember, this is not a substitute for surveying expertise. GPS and location services in a mobile phone are not pinpoint accurate, but certainly sufficient to find markers, survey pins and other distinguishing features of a piece of property.

nutribullet Blender

August 12, 2024

Can’t wait to tell you more…

Our nutribullet blender got a real workout these last couple of weeks. You may have yet to experience the discomfort of wisdom teeth removal or a similar jaw stretching procedure. If that is so, get a nutribullet before you need it!

This fast, powerful and easy to clean blender turns raw and cooked vegetables, fruits and cooked lean meats with broth into an instant and comforting meal for those “after the dentist” recovery days.

This is not a juicer. you could add a little extra water and strain after blending, but many people appreciate the fiber left after completely and quickly reducing a sliced peach or apple to applesauce.

Now that this is in the front of our kitchen “gadget shelf”, I’ll be using this blender to mix the liquid ingredients for our blueberry and corn muffins.

The nutribullet has a couple of models. There is a standard model and a higher wattage model for those who want “more power”.

The EGO Power+ BCA1220 12” Carbon Fiber Shaft Brush Cutter Attachment deserves its own page and its own review. It is one of many attachments available for the EGO Powerhead system of high performance battery powered tools.

If you have used string cutters successfully up to the point of frustration, and want something capable of heavier weeds, bushes and undergrowth; then you should check out this brush cutter. The metal blade cuts through thick brush that is too large for string cutters and too small for chain saws.

My next purchase for the Powerhead system will likely be the pole saw, but this brush cutter attachment probably sees more use than any other EGO product that I own. The brush cutter and Powerhead combo is a great starter kit for the EGO system of battery powered tools.
