First off, this is NOT a communicator.


This is simply the best quality Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Headset pairing for making even a sound engineer happy.


I just need navigation and maybe some music at times. Not looking to make phone calls, etc. just yet so I am not in the market for a communicator so this really looked like it would fit the bill.

Man, the last couple weeks offshore make me feel like I've lost contact with the world. Lol. Anyway, did some black Friday shopping while I was gone. Bought Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers for the Lexus. Along with 4 new O2 sensors, new intake and exhaust, brake rotors and pads, stainless steel brake lines, dash bulbs, and strut tower bar. Have to return the strut tower bar, because they have it listed as one for an IS300, but sent one for a Hyundai Veloster.

Also, about to buy maintenance stuff for the pt cruiser. Have to make it reliable also, as it's on the cusp of failure also, it seems.

I had to look it up. I doubt I've had it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't served at my 1st generation Norsk grandfathers' home.

There is a small town not too far from Cheesy Manor that was the first Norwegian settlement in Illannoy called Norway(not much thought put into that town name). The Norway General Store has been a going concern for over 150 years and they stock a lot of Norwegian goodies. Next time I'm out that way, I'll have to check if they have some rakfisk.

Mrs.C is a big fan of Dream Academy, especially their cut, "Life In A Northern Town". I scored a mint 12" EP single for her for Christmas.

Ipod 6th gen screen.

I did a battery replacement on mine but was a tad hamfisted removing the screen. I now know how to remove the screen without effing it up. Just learned it too late.

Garmin Nav unit for my car and bike. I really don't like the Nav app in my Apple S.

Received and fully tested with various audio frequency sweeps then positional audio tests and vocal tests.

I’m usually jaded but I am really impressed. Next will be audio performance in the helmet while on the roads.

Dropped three bills at Costco today on who knows what. I just push the cart and put in a bag of chips and AA batteries.

Much to my chagrin, Mrs.C volunteered to host Christmas this year because none of her sisters would do it. I had to ask, again, if her Drill Instructor father ever told her to never volunteer.

$445 of electricity from last month. My bill last year was only $115 for almost the same amount of KWh. I guess when you're the only game in town you can charge what you want. There excuse is because of higher natural gas prices. For some reason it just doesn't add up. I think they use a different calculator. Natural gas prices may have doubled but my electric bill almost quadrupled.
