Well….it has been an interesting day today with lots of things happening…some good…and others that all I could do was laugh at…this morning, I ran a couple of errands that I really needed to do to get some things that I wanted instead of needed, starting with a cable that lets me hook my mp3 player up to the my receiver and it sounds better than I expected it to even without working on the equalizer in the player to match it up better with the receiver…that’s a job for another day…it is so damn cool to now have all 1700 songs on the player available to listen to in the living room without having to use my ear buds…and that along with the vinyl…some of which was never available on cd’s makes my library complete to me…oh, and I went to Kohl’s to get a pair of lounging pants to add to the two that I have since it is damn cold in here and I need to dress warmer…and at only 10 bucks they were a deal. After that, I decided to get out on the bike to start riding the 20 miles I had left to do to break my record, but about a mile and a half out, I had a flat from a staple that punctured the sidewall of the tire that is not protected by the tube protectors that I have in the tires…so, after a mile and a half walk back here, I luckily had a new tube that I bought a couple of months back so I changed out the old one and got ready to put it back on the bike…but, as I was doing that, I noticed that the cords were showing through the tread so I again, luckily, had a new tire in the box so I took the whole thing back apart and put the new tire on with the new tube…finally, and got out for a bike ride that wasn’t bad but still a little icy and now I’m down to 7 1/2 miles to go to break the record…and my new piece of equipment came this afternoon and I had to install that before I could take a break…but, it’s veg time now and I’m taking the rest of the day off…
