I drive past this scene of mayhem at least once a day. I just thought it was funny.
Recently I bought myself a pair of Airpods from Apple. I don’t listen to a lot of music through them. I mostly use them when I am navigating either in the car or on the street. And when I make phone calls in the car. Today, though, was the first time that I used them both at the same time. Usually I only use one ear at a time. But this time, I decided to put them both in. And boy was I surprised! The sound cancelling feature works really well!! I had the car windows open (it was a beautiful day today) and the wind noise was pretty ferocious. But with the Airpods in, I could barely hear it. So cool!
Also, when I have the earbuds in, I can hear the chimes for a dash despite it being plugged into this neolithic automobile. That’s a good thing. I had been worried about battery life for my phone. But not any longer in this car. Which I can, hopefully, exchange for my car tomorrow. So excited!
Last thing about the Airpods. They are already connected to the Apple TV so I can use them instead of wired head phones next time I have guests in the room at the head of the stairs. Or guests anywhere, I guess. I do like Apple’s eco system.
Today was a two dash day. The first dash was outstanding. Not the most I have made in 3.5 hours, but close to. And the second shift was the opposite. 3.5 hours, but despite having 11 rides, I sat around for almost two hours altogether. Grrr. And my fellow dasher was lied to. It wasn’t everyone who got knocked down to Silver, it was just her for not completing enough dashes. Or something like that. Who knows. I don’t understand the whole thing…
I am soooo looking forward to getting my car back tomorrow. I will be irked if it doesn’t happen. I will call them during my shift tomorrow. Or at least before I hit the road to get up there by 2:00 pm. If I can get out of there in less than an hour, I might do an evening dashing shift. If I can’t, oh well. Life is that way sometimes. The rental does have an owie that I don’t think was there when I got the car. I hope that won’t be too expensive. Sigh. Money money money. Honey.
I watched a lot of different shows the other day. Tracker is back with new episodes. And a weird version of Matlock, starring Kathy Bates just started. I also watch some weird show about kids at the Outer Banks in NC. Not sure I will go back to that one. And one day, after finishing all 60+ episodes of the new McGyver, I will eventually go back to Vikings and the sequel show. And I am watching The British Baking Show (often copied, never equalled, imho) as episodes come out. How did we live in a world where TV was almost always only available serialized? Eeek!
Tonight is the Q3 earnings call from Tesla. And being a major (hahahaha) stock holder, I like to listen to them (the earnings calls). Which I will do after posting this.
