Lost my Ipod on this morning's ride

[azfiddle]

I had just enough time to do a 10 mile ride before teaching a fiddle lesson. There I was, on the downhill cruise home, listening to some nice tunes and suddenly the music stopped, I felt a little jerk on on the headphones and my Ipod was missing. Apparently, it jumped right out of my jacket pocket. I spent 25 minutes searching, got help from my DH and his running partner who stopped on their way to their run, and we never found it. How far can an Ipod bounce? It wasn't in the road, and it's desert, so it's not like the ground is covered with vegetation that would hide it.

I was 20 minutes later for my fiddle student, who fortunately is a very relaxed and patient guy.....I think I'm going to go look again.

Okay, I'm done whining now.

Aw, that stinks. Hope you find it.

I'm so lucky to have my DH... he has a finder's heart. Any time I lose something like that, he can find it right away!

Oh, that sucks. Especially if you didn't have a back-up of the music on it. If you do need to buy a new one I can recommend the Zen Stone Plus for riding - small, lightweight, hard to destroy and cheap enough that losing it isn't too bad.

No luck- another 20 minutes search, with extra help from a very sweet older gentleman who was walking on the pedestrian trail next to the road.

It was very mysterious disappearing act.
The DH is renowned for his finding abilities, but alas, they failed him this time.

Fortunately, I have cds and/or all the music on my computer, and we have a 2nd Ipod so I'm covered. I mistakenly thought it would be better to put the small one right into a pocket instead of strapping the big one onto my arm.

In the desert? Remote area? Aliens grabbed it.

How about borrowing a metal detector?

Mystery solved.. DH returned to the scene and found it hiding in plain sight in the middle of the road.. but- unfortunately- completely squashed.

Oh well...
