No Comments on iPod Touch 4 Still a Great Music Player

Last week I found an old email from Apple welcoming me to my iPod touch. This was my third Apple product I bought, and it was amazing! It came with 32GB of storage and can play all of my games, videos, YouTube videos, and music with space to spare. I used this as my camera on our Disney World vacation, and took it camping with me.

Last year I wiped and reset the iPod and left it on the charger for the longest time. I had no intention of using it in my Jeep. My music is on an SD card and I use Sirius XM or stream Apple Music when I travel. But the last couple of days, I’ve been driving my old Subaru which does not have an SD card reader or Bluetooth. It has a an AUX connect that works well. So yesterday I uploaded all my music to the iPod Touch and played music on the way to work, and I’m listening a rock music playlist with some of my favorite artists including Meat Loaf, AC/DC, Van Halen, Kansas, David Bowie, David Gilmour, and Bob Seger.

My iPod Touch is still working great for music, reading email, reminders, address book, and some web sites. Definitely one of my better purchases.

1 Comment on Another Bike Ride at C&D Canal

Sunday night I met up with my good friend, Mike, and had a few beers and grilled burgers and brats. He was talking about his Boy Scout Troop going on a bike trip on the C&O Canal and would like to get in a few practice rides at the C&D Canal. This morning we started in Delaware City, Delaware and rode to Chesapeake City and back (about 29.2 miles in 2 hours and 14 minutes). I closed out 2 rings (Exercise and Move) and just need to close out the Stand ring.

I had a follow-up visit with my doctor and reported I was doing well, but need to keep it up. It is easy to stop or cut back on exercise and start eating too much. She is right, I can feel the difference because I cut back on how much exercise I was doings and started eating too many carbs.

For September, I’m going to get back on the exercise program and continue my weight loss and strength training. I’ve lost 40 pounds to far. According to the BMI, I’m still considered to be obese for my height. I need to lose another 40 pounds to be in the normal weight.

A bit bummed out I missed the August 2018 Challenge of completing 60 exercises for a minimum if 15 minutes. However, I plan on earning the National Parks Challenge on September 1st – rain or shine.

Earth Day 2018

Happy Earth Day! I took Wilderness First Aid this weekend at Akridge Scout Reservation in Dover, Delaware this weekend. I was able to reach my daily goals by hiking each evening and running the stairs in my hiking boots. Here are some pictures from the weekend. The last one was the best I could shoot of a herd of deer that walked through our camp site.

Can you spot the deer?

Apple AirPods Battery Levels

No Comments on Apple AirPods Battery Levels

I was skeptical when Apple released the AirPods back in December 2016. I purchased the AirPods to work with my new Apple Watch Series 3, and the AirPods have worked very well except for a few minor times when Bluetooth would cut out (but I think that’s an iPhone 6S problem).

I wish I could figure out why the batteries in my AirPods show different levels. I would be OK with it if the difference was within 3% of each pod, but not 12%.
