The Sonos music has worked very well. I made my first attempt at controlling it via Alexa. I first did a backup of the Pi SD image to my laptop then started adding the Alexa to Sonos install. I also did all the work on Amazon in the Skills service and the Lambda service. Next I created a favorite on the Sonos. It tested well standalone on Amazon but when I tried testing it to the real device I got an endpoint error. I believe this is because I do not have https enabled for the connection. I think I need a setting file pointing to my certificate keys. I have not done this part.
We went for a 10 mile bike ride today to the quilt shop on Clark and Honore. This was a long ride but enjoyable. We also stopped at the Publix on Honore to pick up some more cheese and triscuits. After the ride we decided to go to the Club house for lunch. I had a chicken salad wrap which also had bacon and avocado plus tomato. I had it with a Yuengling. Yummy! This wiped me out for the day so we chose not to go to the Saradance studio tonight. instead we had triscuits and cheese with wine then an hour later a bowl of Clam Chowder for dinner. I spent the rest of the night reading, looking at blogs on Tumblr and also some work on the AVM article index that Terry sent me for January 2017. I got the article index posted but not the photo index. Since this is a new year, 2017, i had to figure out how to add the 2017 tag to the picture.
