so going around to CVS Pharmacy stores
and not finding previously bought bunny ears
that light up, and the lights not working
on the i guess now 2 year old pair
that have seen a lot of miles,
and wondering if can build a pair?

Deconstructing?
Falling apart really
wire was sticking out and one ear doesn't
stand up, floppy instead,
someone didn't see it in a residential area,
so i called it a unicorn instead,
depending upon perspective,

Something fuzzy on top of wire(s)
would be good for it to be water resistant/
proof, as the current one(s) aren't really
light shine through
these are blue and red,
which are police colors,
if get official about it,
and attenuating? articulating,
like a figurine for drawing postures exercises
artist may have...
Moveable joints and poses possible,
i guess for something, see angles and 
practice, i'd have to look it up,
and not possible,

so APN was a problem, but the whole
system is/ was,
ran out of data, and all it says i buy,
some automated system help
gives a numbered menu
1 data
out of data
buy,
and goes to a website link
for CHAT
and technical
otherwise Usage
and out in the cold,
looking at card(s) $25 buy
and a $40-50 flip phone,
text a model number to 611611
would give more information,
but also a web link back,
which didn't even work,
and everything electronics over priced
at CVS, like a 7-11 convenience store i guess,
don't go out elsewhere to save 50% or more,
other stores say try bigger stores,
one up a big hill, and i'd gone
for a walk, check bank,
panhandler/ someone asking for something there
too, early am, had seen dawn, online,
and kept going, rolly and all,
but real pants, and duffel bag
helmet with bunny ears,
stop in at Harris Teeter, so after 0600a
new month money came in,
and got cash out,


Last night just around midnight,
some one panhandling
and a drunk guy stumbling home,
i guess, not sure were he was going
but wasn't letting him near me
trying to get in the door,
wavering so much,
probably not much of a fight,
and that was if i could see,
i was looking to get glasses,
during errands out,
a big loop and near last,
two CVSs that way
ran out battery on the eScooter,
had picked up some pads,
knee and elbow, and trying
for the first time,
but range of the eScooter
is so small, fun for a while,
but can't see / not looking as
much for rocks, time for eye exam,
had checked one place LansCrafters
in SkyLine area, asked last month
talking about this month,
$88 for an exam,
and around 1530 on a FriDay
stop in having bought water,
one gallon from Aldi,
done some online bill paying
at theliberary, someone behind
me telling me he can see,
why look and not leave people alone
his two Apple products,
and another guy, in front,
i guess they wait for kids
pickup, or something,
lots of noise and kids,
and it's supposed to be a library,
has signs on the tables, near
the windows, 4 tables,
and a row of computers, WinBlows,
so bring my own, havea history
in pdfs of monthly payments
for utilities,
WashingtonGas.com
DominionEnergy.com

check the POBox, nothing,
not sure what i'd be expecting,

but ThursDay expecting rain,
and look in more detail the forecast
is 1.xx millimeters mm
so let it rain, gives some cloud cover,
walked with rolly as above
and got to CleveLandPark a DC Public Library
with a garden nearby, couple ladies
there, one may know me, not sure how,
but possiblities, bike stuff, relative
of some people, and seems familiar
what retired people do,
wait for the public library to open,
sone and try and connect,
free wifi, VPN
guy comes out and goes to bike
lockers motorcycles parked and locked
to those, alarm goes, and notice
49CC tag taped/ziptied on,
alarm keeps going,
old lady thinks he's stealing it,
i get a picture from the back,
not sure, guessing getting seasonal
tags, i said itl ooks like fun,
i'm wearing holes in my feet again,
about a week after the last one,
for sudden recert demands,
( ReSubMitToWhat )

earlier in the long walk,
a loud boom/ explosions around the
Fort(/ Myer )
but ran into a lady and puppy
very cute puppy, and she's available,
(goes back to
KillShelterInParadiseYYYY
maybe a K9 unit protective around me?)
slow going if they are,

one panhandler asks for directions instead
through residential, kiddy corner/ diagonal
then conflicts himself, he knows arlington,
i guess it's a trick white people thing,
like see if you can get something from them/us,
playing on various things,
stuttering, oh, that's ok,
and then says he can go in my unit
and get whatever he wants,
and other problems,
likely recording some of it,
and trying play it back,
like gave verbal permission,
or a trap, letting people in
Boulivard (sp?) Blvd,
Langston Hughes, old Lee HighWay name,
and changing over,
and some other things,
would have to go around Foreign
Service Training Center,
so George Mason does that,
but down a hill to go up a hill,
and not liking all the hills,
especially in the rolly,
and pussing it, each big bump
in pavement, some almost trip,
and lifting it up, a lot of cut out
curb cuts, for wheel chair, but
wheelie/ rollenator/ rolly needs
bigger and offroad wheels to be
useful, so having had some welding
experience classes only,
a reDesign of that too,
folding to go small, and flat,
stronger, maybe just go
full wheel chair
but off road, not tip over,
so more like the garden cart wheels,
but that is heavy and doesn't go flat,
folding, though tips up,
big wheels, and had bought some
sale at Harbour Freight Tools a while back,
replacements, but axle and compatability,
a lot like all the bike stuff,
parts, learning brakes,
cantilever, Post Pads and Bolt on ends,
threaded, turns out i've got a mix and match
sort of thing between all the two wheels
and one three wheeled i've collected over my lifetime,
the old Gary Fisher, is cantilver, and got some
cheap replacemnts on those,
one each of the post brake pads,
wasn't sure and got one of each,

VBrake a Shimano standard,
noodle,
Mechanical Disc Caliper brakes,

cabling, shifter and gear,
thicknesses differ, lengths,
brands, etc...

So getting light,
remembered the Hidden Life of Dogs
and how the Husky did intersections,
got out into it before the 4Way intersection
ears turned to listen each way,
hearing nothing going through,
trotting speed varies if hear,
sort of a listen each way,

Turn signals might help too,
which would take motors,
and how that works,
turns out cable housing is like an antenna
floppy buy holds, see the different huosing
sizes and stiffnesses,
as don't want anything piercing my skill if i
fall/ land / hit something, so nothing very solid,
pointy, hard, compressable into the helmet,
and battery pack,
an arduino/ RPiZero
BlueTooth and some special code likely,
as handlebar bluetooth button,
app, and logging/ antenna, maybe a camera too,
look around snap shots, full video nice,
but eats memory, GPS tag it,
and resolution(s) TBD,
distance and crash avoidance,
some audio/ buzzer, warning alarm/ horn
hookup nice too doesn't needs/ don't want
too close to my ears, and loud, so forward
and/or backward facing, capture at the same
time, picture of someone anytime i hit the horn,
as a problem, likely in bike lane,
right hook, and passing on right/ left, etc

Baret/ head peice, doesn't matter as much
a girlie thing, colors of the ears,
pink was because it was available that way,
removeable, and replaceable
EL Wire likely, and stips ADAFruit has some,
i've bought some, and LED/Color RGB
programmable, might be options to try,
so some specs, idears,
and happy hopping,
PiDay (3/14) coming up,
see what y'all come up with,
i likely won't, getting this far,
is about all the energy/ time i've got

Now see if i remember how to cchange tubes,
on ballooney 26x2.5 tires,
and 36 degrees out going to 63?
or just go back to bed,
some other time
had plenty of exercise, cold
and feet, and get sick,
up late in the cold and back out into it?
SunRise, and late start as started doing this,
ate 30+ minutes...

timing and routine, need to get into some of that,
plenty of other things to do,
but some that are fun, would help...
