Dell DJ Battery

Ok.  I finally went to ebay and found a power seller who sells this battery for $10 with $7 shipping.  The total was$16.94.  I'm very happy that I bought this.  I was so worried I would have to pay $50 for a battery and then shipping on top of that.  Since it was so cheap, if this works I may buy another one or 2 just in case.

Nice Weather

Finally!  October 4th and it's cloudy outside and there is a chance of showers.  This is the time of year that I like, right when the heat is replaced by cold.

Dell DJ Battery On Hold

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.

I can do 2 shows...

I was worried when we got Digital cable that because we had to have a cable box that I would have trouble when I have 2 shows on at the same time.  Without a cable box I can record 1 show on my dvd recorder and watch another show on another channel by hitting the tv/vcr button.  But with a cable box, the dvd recorder only records what is currently on the cable box channel since the tv is always on channel 3.  There is no getting around that.  Forget being able to record ever again.

But, thank goodness for the internet because if I have a show on ABC and NBC at the same time I can just go to that networks website and watch the show on my computer.  Last night I had 2 shows, both on at 8pm.  Pushing Daisies on ABC and Knight Rider on NBC so I watched Pushing Daisies last  night then this morning I watched Knight Rider at the NBC website.

Unfortunately, not all networks do that.  Well, mostly they do but like the CW channel, last year I tried missed a couple episodes of Smallville and Supernatural and they had all their other shows on their website but those 2 they didn't for some reason.  I ended up having to download them via emule.

The networks that do have their shows on their website "on demand" they keep the current season on there from episode 1.  Heroes for example, when season 2 began they removed all of season 1.  Since season 3 has already begun they have totally removed season 2 except for the last episode of that season.  I don't know why keep the last episode, maybe so people can catch up first.

The point of this blog was to establish the fact that I'm happy I can watch my shows if I miss them hehe.
