Can you hear me now?

 

Another "sound check" today.  Well, a reason to get out and about on the scoot.  The norther that blew in a couple days ago is mostly gone - low 70s today and the wind was down to 15 mph or less most of the day.

After clearing out a bunch of stuff in the storage area under the house, it was two piles: stuff to toss, stuff to take to the thrift store (Whiskers) that helps fund the local animal shelter.

Late this afternoon, I was feeling the need for a ride.  I wanted to try out these new molded earplugs with my Nolan helmet, and see if I could hear my helmet communicator through those earplugs.  I put a video on my phone, with the sound being sent via bluetooth to my helmet.  I could mostly hear it, but it was still pretty quiet, even with the volume turned all the way up.  It may be different when Joan and I are talking via those communicators... but it is a testament to how much noise those molded earplugs block.  And once again, wind noise was barely a whisper.

I got back home a few minutes before Rufus's supper time.  There was quite a bit of bellering when I came in... "Where have you been?  It is 15 minutes before feeding time, and I was worried sick about you!"  That is cat-speak for: "If you are late in feeding me, I will poop on your pillow!"

Just kidding.  Rufus doesn't poop on my pillow.  Because... he's such a good boy!  ;-)

While out today, I saw a Mustang Mach-E; first one I've seen "in the wild."  It is a good looking car... um, SUV... um electric crossover.


That is a file photo; I didn't have my camera with me.  I did get the opportunity to see it front, back, and side... very nice!
