Author Topic: Music solution (Read 7071 times)

In my spare time I've been thinking about what to do for music while I soak.

Here is the solution I came up with a couple of weeks ago.

I bought them for $20. My wife has an Ipod Nano which she doesn't use, so I figured I'd put it to good use.

Few reasons I like them

No wires
Access to volume, track, etc while you soak. Simply push button on the fly while they are still on your head.
Headphone style works better than earplug (or external speakers for that matter) to muffle out the sound of jets and focus on music sound quality.
When I get out then stay on my head while I dry myself off, add chemicals, and all the way until I enter the house.
Plan on using them for snowblowing driveway, and mowing the lawn as well..

Only item of concern is the fact they are not water proof.. But that is the risk I am going to take.
What I did was wrap the Ipod Nano with saran wrap, and then slide it in the headphone slot. i figured this should eliminate any problems with water damage.

So far I've been using them almost every night for the past 2 weeks without problems..

OK for yourself. Not so good for background music for a group. �:-?

That of course also depends on whether you have joined the ipod club. I realize I am rapidly headed for the minority crowd but I haven't got around to paying my dues for that club yet!

Yes obviously it's a solo solution..

And as far as IPod. I couldn't agree with you more. I am not a fan at all of the Ipod's. My wife got it as a gift, and doesn't use it.

That is awesome. I typically soak by myself and I am a huge Ipod fan.

Tell me more about the headphones. Where did you get them? What is the quality?

I bought them through PCConnection http://www.pcconnection.com
Item # 6270431

They are listed at $29.99 but I get a discount from them.

If you're wearing those, it would make it easy for a Ninja to sneak up on you and steal your beer. A real Ninja could do it anyway, but those dammed headphones just invite trouble, in my opinion.

A true Ninja brother would not have to carry a 50 cal. rifle. So Ninja wanta be, When you want to enter our elite club and have the hair on your..... ooops sorry....have the hair on your man organs to become a TRUE Ninja brother. I will send you to a secret site and you will have to pass a test much like the secret test you had to pass to sell Hot Springs Tubs. �

I didn't say I were a Ninja, although I am familiar with their ways, including the Touch of Deathness. I even have the special wall-climbing boots, but I'm too fat to get more than 3' off the ground before I fall.

I only wish I had a .50 cal! I only have the punly little .223 at the moment, and it is for when I'm in those occasional situations when I'm surrounded and cannot Death Touch all my enemies.

I would be honored to join your secret society as long as their are no gayful initiation rites of passage and I get to wear a cool costume like I do at my job:

Ah, one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a Ninja wanta be. You ate refried beans with your water tight suit on. I can see you have much learning to become a watertight Ninja. �And the clostest to gayfulness rites is you may have to expose yourself to relieve yourself in remote locations, then a brother may cast an longful eye, only to verify you are a brother. You never know nowdays. :-/

Alas, I am not a brother, simply a cracker.

I would be derided.

lil' Willy, if I was somehow ��invited to this gathering tonight, we may reconsider. �

Is this a wet gathering or a dry gathering?

You lost me with that last one, Old Great Ninja, but I am easily lost at times.

I bid thee all farewell! I'm off to a birfday party, then to go do the Turkey Day family crap, and then to help my Ol' Pappy build a fire pit to cook his wild pigs in for the pennance and restitution of the heathern souls who work on Sunday.

Ya'll take care and be safeful.
