2. GABOSS Inflatable Waterproof Lounger

Under $40

Whether you're camping in the woods, listening to music at a festival, or just hanging out in your own backyard, it's hard to enjoy your time outside if you're uncomfortable. On the flipside, it's easy to spend a lot of money trying to find that comfort. You might invest in patio furniture, pool rafts, folding tailgating chairs and sleeping bags.

Or instead of buying all that stuff, you can buy one product that does it all. Inflatable lounge chairs are a versatile solution to this costly problem. They float so you can bring them in the pool but they'd also be a great addition to your home's bonus room. And since you can lie down in these cushiony seats, they are great for staring up at the sky to stargaze or watch firework shows.

Quick Inflation -Only one hole, Inflatable faster than the two-holes inflatable sofa; No Air Pump Needed: - Materials of our inflatable lounger are lightweight and durable nylon fabric. In a windy day, it can be inflated after you run a few steps against wind no more than 10 seconds, it do not need any inflator tools and can hold upwards of 400 lbs. Comes in different colors.

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on Radio 105.7 - Omni Bedford Springs and Grilling Gadgets

Rick is Pennsylvania this week... kind of Western Pennsylvania as he was in Pittsburgh and then Bedford, PA at the historic, Omni Bedford Springs Resort and Spa. A great resort that has been around for over 2 centuries. 12 Presidents have visited the resort and President James Buchanan came here for 40 years and made it his Summer White House.  Great golf, relaxing and hot springs in the Allegheny Mountains.

With Memorial Day weekend here, Rick and Sully look at some grilling and BBQ tech.

 
Have a listen and see the show notes below:

1.  Flexible Skewers

From a company called Fire-Wire

Flexible Skewers ($10): These extra long skewers fit twice the amount of food as normal skewers. They also bend, which allows you to marinate your kebabs after they’ve been skewered.

 


2.  Outset Chicken Drumstick Roaster

Barbecue season will soon be in full swing. And if drumsticks are on your must-grill list, try Outset’s chicken drumstick roaster ($25) that will take away the hassle of constantly flipping your meat. The nonstick contraption can roast up to 16 drumsticks at once. Use it in the oven once the weather cools down. Find it at Chapters Indigo stores or various spots online.

 
3.  Thermacell Mosquito lantern

It doesn't matter where yoyu live in this country, be it the Pacific Northwest, the South  or even Midatlantic or Midwest regions, there is one problem just about every faces each spring and summer. That problem would be mosquitos and other insects that bite.

So an introduction to Thermacell and their all encompassing line of mosquito repelling lanterns, torches and repellers is necessary. Thermacell does something no one else does and that is use their technology to put a repellant that is a copy of the insecticide produced by chrysanthemums in their products. It proves to be 90% effective and welcome relief to those looking to spend an afternoon or evening outdoors with family, friends or a good book.

Thermacell says a latern will cover a 225-square feet area at up to four hours per mat or 12 hours for a refill kit. A Thermacell latern is not only more effective, but it is safer than using citronella candles.
Prices for lanterns start around $30.

WGST's "The Sully Show" for 1/8/15 - Rick and CES

Rick has been out in Las Vegas all week at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)

He's fresh off the plane and back home with some recaps and observations.

Rick arrived on Sunday. Monday started with the Storage Visions Conference, a 2-day conference on digital and data storage. Monday night was the CES Unveiled Show, a press only event where some of the new gadgets debut. Tuesday is "Press Day" and it's wall-to-wall press conferences with all the big tech companies. Tuesday night is the Pepcom media event and the actual show begins Wednesday.

Have a listen to Rick and Sully

1. This Show is Massive

CES takes up most of the Las Vegas Strip.  Last year there  were 176,000 people. This year they say around 160,000.  This is one of the largest trade shows in the world and many of the new products shown here won't debut until later in 2016.
 
 

2.  Press Events are Important

The show is so large, it would be impossible to see everything. Therefore the press (1000s of them) come in days before for press events and briefings.

Rick attended the Fitbit press conference at 7:30 am on Tues to hear about Fitbits new products which were shown off by former Falcon great, Tony Gonzalez, or attend a breakfast put on by Under Armour to see what new offerings they have.
 

3.  A "Smart Everything"

Smart watches, smart cars, smart beds, a smart refrigerator an even the debut of a smart spoon this week in Vegas.
New for 2016, Slow Control has a "smart spoon." Of course they do, but the thought here is noble in that a toy makes kids want to try and eat vegetables. It's said this spoon will come out in the first quarter of 2016.

Who would've thought that a spoon could be smart?
 

4.  Older Brands Trying to Become New Again

Remember RCA, Panasonic, Pioneer, Casio and more...'
These iconic brands all have a big presence at CES and are reinventing themselves in different ways.
***RCA is introducing some new TVs and accessories, working on info for the others...

5.  One of Rick's favorite finds.... a company called Steam CC and their Ripples machine and app

Steam CC, the inventive company aimed at transforming a simple cup of coffee, debuted their latest innovation, the Coffee Ripples App, at CES this week, which connects users to Ripple-enabled coffee establishments. With the Coffee Ripples App, java aficionados can print any picture or message, let's call it a “Ripple” onto a foam-topped latte or cappuccino.

Rick brought the logo of the Green Bay Packers and they transformed it onto the coffee.
 

CES wraps up this weekend and Rick is glad to be home.
