Finally getting a chance to devote more time to this blog!

Did you ever feel like the manufacturers have you caught in a trap - one only they can control! While working in the basement running a few more power circuits it hit me once more: We are caught in the manufacturer’s steel trap and are being forced to live, AND PAY, according to the tunes they produce. 

Did you ever notice there is very little competition working in the buyer’s favor? If your house is installed with a Square D box, or a CH box, or a GE box, or… you are forced to purchase only that manufacturer’s circuit breakers!  No competition!  Just pay!

Each manufacturer has its own standards (proprietary) for how the circuit breaker must be produced to fit into their boxes!  And you and I are not only stuck one time, but we are stuck there for as long as you own the house.  Yeah, you can buy another manufacturer’s box, but there you are AGAIN - STUCK.

I remember when going for a run just meant changing into a pair of tennis shoes, running until I got tired, and then turning around and heading for home.

Nothing makes it clearer that those days are over than this new gadget from Garmin - the Forerunner 305. This thing not does the mundane stuff like monitoring your heart rate, speed and distance, it also tracks your every move so you can download your routes and compare times.

I don’t know if I take my running this seriously, but if you’re the type of person who does then this may be just the gadget you’re looking for to really take your runs to the next level.
