Well, no doubt this will strike most of you as hilarious.
I was pulling my shorts up after using the toilet, and my freebie Special K pedometer came off the waistband, and fell into the toiletbowl. The toilet was in mid-flush, and alas, I was not quick enough to save the pedometer from disappearing in a swirl of water.
Hey, NO problem! I have another one, which I found in the closet, mixed in with the dog toys...
So, I clip it to my bum pack, and go off to practise some tracking with Ranger.
When I got home, I decided to check how much mileage I had racked up...
The pedometer was gone.
RATS!! Now I'll actually have to pay MONEY for one!!
And even though the pedometers were free, they actually worked quite well! I checked it out carefully when I first began using one.
