Well…this one is going to be a mish mash of various types of these…or, maybe I should separate them to get caught up? That sounds like a plan so here goes…I did have to break down and buy a new battery for the walkman today…I just do not like riding the bike without music and it was only 14 bucks so I thought I just get it done…and, to have all my music no longer available is a big pain in the butt…I got through three songs on the ride today before the battery gave out but I kept the buds in the ears even after that…it is just too loud next to the e-way to take them out…makes for a very unpleasant ride….should have the new battery by the end of the week if all goes well….and the novelty of listening to the radio in the car is starting to fade with the huge quantity of commercials that they have on….okay…that’s it for now…I do have a few things to do so I should get doing them…more later…
