Saga of the Wireless Speaker

On Friday, my evening outing objective was to be the purchase of the Bose® SoundLink® Mini at the fruit-based computer store (an authorized Bose® reseller) in the den of consumerism (read: shopping mall) in Kahala. I was about the purchase the item in question with my sole credit card when I was asked for an identification (ID) card. Say what? No ID, no merchandise, I was told. Okay, see you snobs later!

Of course, I could have just waited until the next morning and made the trek to the Bose® showroom. However, I walked over to the Radio Shack® store, a place that is always completely empty. Overpriced, questionable merchandize, and no brand recognition. Yet, I ended up purchasing an Auvio® wireless speaker. I have a pair of $9 Auvio® earbuds, probably the best sounding earbuds at any price. So, when I listened to the floor model, I was quite impressed. The unit is fairly large and heavy, by the way. It is not battery powered, thank goodness. So, it's not a portable wireless speaker. I purchased the device for $150 with my credit card and no ID.

Upon returning to Slob Manor (read: rental housing), I unpacked the device. I discovered that it was previously opened. That's probably why it was a "clearance" item. Who cares? I am now less likely to obsess over keeping it meticulous. Once paired with the Nexus 7 tablet computer, it provided excellent sound in my squalid room. The bass is quite amazing. And, the damned thing gets real loud. I have been enjoying a House Music marathon since then. Yeah, one-man house party, just like the old days.

Why did I waste money on another wireless speaker? Oh, I don't know. In a few years, I may not have much of my hearing left, so I may as well enjoy it while I can. I will probably be downloading a few flicks via bit-torrent, and the wireless speaker will provide me with the poor man's "home theater" experience. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Ol' Lavahead Mini-Update®
My essential appliance, the Waterpik® flosser, has developed a leak in the nozzle handle. The device appears serviceable, so a replacement part may be available. Otherwise, a new unit will be necessary. More expenses. Was the wireless speaker a prudent purchase after all?

Surveillance Mini-Update®
The ridiculous Google® automated surveillance drone is still at it. What is the plan? Who is the "terrorist"?
