An example to follow

A couple weeks ago I got an email from my property insurance company VRYD, yes, that is their name. The email informed me that they were sending me a water sensor kit for free. I assumed there had to be some sort of catch. There wasn’t. In fact it only got better. If I take the time to set up the sensors and activate them VRYD would send me a check for roughly $300 and my annual policy would have this same discount for having these sensors in place going forward, wow.

Last night I set up the 5 sensors and connected them to the app, placing them around my house in spots where a possible water leak could take place. They track temperature, humidity as well as the presence of water, obviously. The intent is if there is a water break/leak the sensors would alert me immediately so I could take action sooner rather than later, mitigating the potential damage, saving both me and the insurance company money/hassle. I have to say I love the proactive approach VRYD has taken in this area. I wish more companies would do the same. Spend some money up front to potentially save a ton down the line, a concept I can get behind.

I have been cautiously optimistic that the worst of my my IT band related pain is now behind me, I am feeling less and less negative impacts after my pickleball sessions. Last week I played three times. I am feeling confident enough that I may even try to step back on the sand volleyball court next week if I continue to feel ok, something that has not happened in close to 6 months.
