Default Long Walk

At lunch I like to go down to the park and walk a few laps. The track is around a half mile, all open space with no shade.

Well anyways what I learned today is you should keep your key in a different pocket from your mp3 player. I had to adjust the volume a Couple of times and the key fell out.

Luckily no one else was walking today so I didn’t have to worry about someone kicking it into the grass. But none the less I felt like an idiot but on the bright side I was able to get another lap in.

Sucky.



The other folks at my office dont like it but I keep my keys on my chain wallet. I've lost them more times than I like to admit.

A lost key is almost as bad as a misplaced wallet.

Knock on wood I've never lost the bike keys or the car keys. I've "lost" the lawn mower keys more times than I can count.

My buddy bought a HD the same day I did at the same dealership. He had a key problem. He ended up ordering five from the dealer.

I keep a spare key in my wallet. If I accidentally lose my keys, or lock them in the car, or anything...I just whip out my wallet. Also have another spare hidden away in my room, incase god hates me and I lose my keys, and my wallet...all at once.

If you lose your keys and your wallet, then you have just been mugged and you have bigger problems.
