Sat
-- 12:40a  Bed
--   9:02a  Up
--   9:45a  Leaving via bike for breakfast @McD: Big Breakfast with hotcakes
-- 11:51p  Sitting in garage;  Total ride: 11 mi
-- 12:58p  Inside after biking 2 mi
--   4:05p  Leaving to bike, then get dinner @Arby's: turkey & bacon
I was going to get a shake but when I came out it was cloudy so I changed my mind.
--   5:46p  Sitting in garage after biking 3+3. 
--   7:22p  Mail finally came, including my new hearing aid.
Tracking said it went out for delivery at 8:30a and would be delivered by 7:15p.
--   7:49p  Inside after biking 4+2 (Total 25 mi today)
--   8:45p  Finished reading hearing aid User Manual.
--   9:03p - 9:13p  Tony called
He's upset because someone hit his mailbox.

--   9:30p  Downloaded hearing aid app to phone.
--   9:54p  Had trouble with bluetooth pairing but it seems that the
problem was that the hearing aids did NOT automatically turn on when they
were removed from the case, so I had to do it manually.
~~  The next step (although I could have done it first) is to pick the
properly-sized ear cap, but before I can do that, I have to get them out of
the bag, and they are resisting.
~~  There are 3 types, and each comes in 4 sizes!
It seems that there is one size already on the hearing aid, so, I suppose I'll try that
but the device seems very delicate and it's difficult to get it positioned,
-- 10:09p  I got the right one into right ear and I hear some static, but I can
hear my voice coming through, so, that's something -- but it seems weird.
The instructions say it takes 3 or 4 weeks for the brain to adjust, but I wasn't
planning on wearing them all the time.
~~  The left one didn't seem to be turned on, so I was able to turn it on but
it seems strange that they'd have to be turned on one at a time.
-- 10:22p  Installing firmware upgrade;  Skim Ch5 news
TV sounds a bit tinny through the hearing aids, but 
no customs settings have been made.
-- 10:30p  I'm now at the app settings screen, but there don't seem to be
any instructions for how to use it.
-- 10:34p  I decided that I've had enough for today.
-- 10:46p  "SNL"-;  Cheese was mentioned.
