I was so happy to leave early this a.m. I always strive to get out of the house early, but it never seems to happen. This morning. I actually did.
But, before I got out of the neighborhood, I realized that my flashing light on front - even tho' it does have a low-beam steady on - was not sufficient for the dark morning. So, I pulled over to switch the light from flashing to steady. Now... I love this light, but switching from flashing to steady is not an easy task and since I don't do it regularly, I have to stop and think about it...and it went something like this:
"Okay, I think it's 'Hold the button for 2-seconds to shut it off. Then press and hold for 6- seconds to switch modes.' Then...what? Another 2 seconds to turn it on to steady? How come it's not working?? Drat it! How do I get this thing to turn back on at all?"
So, with much puttering, I finally got the light on steady. But by the time I got 2 miles away, on the darkest part of the road, I realized that the battery was nearly dead. So at the top of the hill, I pulled over onto a lit side street and swapped out the batteries (rechargeable AA's).
Whoa! Light and dark difference! Night and day! Aaaaaaa (imagine a host of angels singing on high).....let there be light!!!!
But....so much for my early start. All that puttering on the side of the road ate up all that early start. Regular time at my desk (actually...late, cuz I ended up talking with folks in the fitness center).
So....love the light, but I think the Knog is going on when I get home, instead.
