Well, since I bought the pump and frame bag for my bike I now have to wait on the battery for my Dell DJ. In order to ride my bike I need stuff for it. If my tire blows I can't pump it up without the tools in a bag on my bike frame so the Dell DJ is a moot point because the whole reason I wanted to get a new battery was so I could enjoy music while riding the bike, if I can't ride the bike then no reason for music.
There are a few other things I need as well like a new headlight and backlight preferably the kind that attach to the back wheel that turns on while you are riding the bike. What can I say, I hate buying batteries.
I also need a bike shirt that absorbs the sweat and makes me cooler while I ride. Cotton is so bad for riding a bike because it sticks to your skin. It doesn't absorb the sweat and then dry while you are riding. Ok, don't worry, I won't subject anybody to bike shorts. Believe me, it ain't gonna happen.
I do need a helmet too though. I know it's the law for teenagers but it's only common sense for an adult to wear one. I tried buying one at this thrift store one time and Chip laughed at me and it was a very nice one so if he laughs at me then it makes me not want to wear it which is a very dangerous way of thinking because if I got into an accident I'd DIE!
Hopefully when I get all that I need to ride then I will be able to get a battery for my Dell DJ. I just can't ride without music. It's so boring without it. I do have a solar charger that plugs into the Dell DJ so that's not a problem, the solar charger works as a battery. But still, I'd rather have a proper battery.

O.J. Simpson Guilty!
Jury finds O.J. Simpson guilty on all charges
13 years ago today O.J. Simpson was aquited of a double homicide in Brentwood, CA and now he is found guilty on all 12 charges in the gunpoint robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room more than a year ago. You could see his friend and 2 women crying as they heard each charge read along with guilty.
Chip says that each charge brings 5 years to life in prison and that's 12 charges which means he will never see freedom again in his life. He is 61 years old now so if he makes it to the age of 121 he might be able to get off on good behavior. I doubt it though.
Bike Necessities
I just bought some things I really needed for my bike. I've been wanting a new pump forever that is small enough that I can carry with me when riding but with a gauge. I found a pump at www.nashbar.com. The pump was $20 which is $10 less than Snider's.
I also bought a frame bag ($10) while I was there to store the pump as well as the tools needed to change or repair a flat tire. It's also big enough to hold a tire tube just in case. The bag is in the shape of a triangle so that it fits right inside the frame.
