Here you go. Best I could do given our nation's current state of emergency:



BTW, I think I'm the only one here who thinks Pizza Ranch is awful? When you factor how much you pay it doesn't really matter that it's all-you-can eat. For over $30 (with drinks) I can easily get my fill of much better food. For instance, some tout the all-you-can-eat chicken and for $15 per person I can buy a couple of 8pc buckets of chicken from King Soopers. I promise you I can't eat 16 pieces of chicken over the course of several days. The pizza is meh at best and I certainly wouldn't put it against even decent pizza.

To me, Pizza Ranch reminds me of Cici's Pizza only 3x more expensive with similar pizza, worse drink selections and the addition of fried chicken. That's just me though. There's usually lots of cars in the parking lot when we drive by so I must be in the minority with that opinion.

I'm not super selective with my food choices either but I do tend to try to shy away from buffets these days and would rather eat 2-3 good slices of pizza rather than 9-24 slices of pizza that is only a few steps above a cardboard box with gubment cheese & canned meats thrown on it.

No, you're not.

No, you're not.

I've only been there once but I would rate it half a step above CiCi's. Then again, I am not a big fan of buffet style food anyways.

The quality (or lack there of) of Pizza Ranch probably has to do with geography.

If you?re in a town like Red Oak, Iowa then suddenly Pizza Ranch is a very good option for lunch.

Also, when the company is paying for lunch then the price vs what you are getting for your money becomes an irrelevant part of the equation.

I've been looking at replacing the Wyze camera at the front door for awhile. It requires a power cord so I have it mounted in our front window which works ok but the glare in the daytime makes it horrible. It also doesn't do a great job of picking up movement on certain things (especially people) but always picks up the wind moving the bush out front. I think it has a really hard time seeing through the glass which doesn't help.


I was about to pull the trigger on a Ring camera but our doorbell is mounted in a weird spot. They do make a right-ish angle mount but I know the lady wasn't going to like it because it was going to stick out like a sore thumb. I also really don't like the idea the it's obvious it's a camera and I've heard of people stealing them.


A friend told me Amazon had a 100% wire free camera and the battery life was around 3-6 months depending on how much it is used so I picked this guy up. Hopefully it works as well as the reviews say it does.

I tried that route too, but the infrared detection didn't work through the glass and the IR illumination LEDs reflected back off the glass at night.

My doorbell is like yours. I went the Ring route. It has a brushed bronze bezel like the door hardware and doesn't look crazy. Stealing it would also take some effort since it uses a security screw to gain access to the mounting screws.

Having had battery powered cameras before, I like that the standard doorbell transformer keeps it charged. I have another camera that I plan to put under an eave that will cover the entire front of the property.

Did you go with the angle mount as well? The stories I heard about people stealing them was just prying them off, not even working about the security screw. I'd prefer to go the Ring mount but like I said, I hate that is plain as day that it is a camera.



I plan on mounting this wireless one in the corner of the eave so it is less noticeable.
