Like the BassBoomz Bluetooth Speaker, I was also given the opportunity to try out what I have to admit are the best in ear headphones I have ever used. I’ll let the video tell you why:

I recently did a review of the best bluetooth speaker I’ve ever seen or heard, the BassBoomz Bluetooth Speaker. Here is the video of that review. Please excuse the blurriness of the video – it wasn’t that blurry when I shot the video, but the uploading to YouTube seems to have destroyed the quality of the video.
If you haven’t run a paper route lately, you wouldn’t believe how much gas it takes to do a paper route. You see, it’s pointless to turn the vehicle off whenever you stop because you only deliver to one or two houses before you continue on your route. So turning the vehicle off and back on is going to waste even more gas than allowing the car to idle while you deliver the papers.
Add to this that I have two routes, not one, and you can imagine that I go through a lot of gas. As in enough gas that we go through an entire tank in one week. This doesn’t leave much money for other things, such as indoor wall fountains for your home or anything else I want. I was hoping to be able to schedule a vacation to St. Louis for a convention in April of 2014, but at this point, saving for that vacation will be impossible with having to use most of my paper route money to buy gas for the car!
If you haven’t heard, I posted about my new paper route on one of my other blogs. Thursday morning I went out with the district manager for my district and he showed me the route – I delivered 4 of the papers. This morning I went out with him again on the route, but this time I delivered all but about 6 of the papers. He gave me a list of where the papers are to be delivered, how the customers want them delivered1, and what days not to deliver or what days to deliver.
The businesses on my route don’t take the Sunday paper, just Monday – Saturday, and I have one house that doesn’t take the Sunday paper. I have a few people who only take the paper on Sunday, a few that only take it Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and a few who only take it on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
So tomorrow morning the district manager has decided to have me do the route alone from now on. The way he figures it, and he’s right, I’ll only really learn the route by doing it by myself, as I’ll have to drive myself around. Well, once I’ve learned the route well enough to tell LaShawn where to go, I’ll start having her drive so I can deliver the papers easier, but on Sundays I’ll have to do it alone no matter what, because she’ll need to be up for church a couple hours after I get home.
Monday – Saturday I have until 6 AM to deliver the papers, Sunday I have until 7 AM to deliver the papers. According to the district manager, even if I don’t grab my papers tomorrow morning until 3 AM, I should be fine – even new I should be able to deliver the route in 3 hours since it only took us an hour and 15 minutes to deliver the route with him driving and me delivering papers. Even if I’m driving, it’s still the same thing – get out of the vehicle, deliver the paper, get back in the vehicle. LOL There are a few spots where I have 3 or 4 houses who all get the paper in the same area so I can do all of them at once, but most houses on my route actually don’t take the paper. Yet despite the lack of people taking the paper on my route, I’ll still get a good chunk of change for doing the route. 
So we’ll see how my first morning alone goes.
