The saga continues

 A couple of days ago I mentioned the discovery of an old pedometer I had, I did, in fact have two.  One just registered miles and 10th of miles walked.  Quite ancient it seems from the sophisticated ones you can buy now.  The second one gave more information, calories used, steps etc. etc.   Did it work....of course not it needed a battery.   Hubby went to several stores to find the correct size..... nope.  I tried to call a well know world wide department store, not naming them to give free advertising for them,  maybe I should,  so that shoppers know about the poor phone service.  Anyway, I called customer service after pushing "0" , no one answered.  Tried most of the other departments, no answer, finally got the photo dept. and she put me on hold and then hung up.   Oh!!   I could get them on line, however, it would cost an arm and a leg to have them shipped.    

In the mail yesterday was a flyer for a well known store here in Canada which carries a wide array of auto, sports, household, garden and the like products.   On the front page was a unit much like a Fitbit, and as it was on sale, it was a very good price.  Normally these things are only guaranteed for a year anyway, so if it only lasts that long I would be happy.   So off we go, find a sales rep. (that seems like a task in itself these days) and took it to the check out.  Much to my surprise and the rep. it was full price on the screen, he could not understand until he looked at the flyer I took with me.   Well, sale does not start until Friday.  Oooops.  So you know where I will be first thing tomorrow.

Seems like I am venting here all the time over one thing or another.   Must be the age thing, anyway that is my excuse.

Today, to keep my promise to you I will use the mileage unit until I get the above tomorrow.

It is a beautiful day, so I am off of here and going to get my walking shoes.

UPDATE

Returned from my walk.....

Two and almost 2/10th of a mile this morning.    It was a lovely day so thoroughly enjoyed it.
