The two things are now ASP.NET MVC-6 and SharePoint. The SharePoint came from work and I’m not all that upset about it. I can still hone my skills in C# at the same time I am using that skill set and at the same time enhancing while I am at work. The best of both worlds.

Angie seems to be getting along ok without me getting a loan for her car. She was very sick and still had to move, hopefully she will be done by Tuesday because I don’t have her rent now that she has used it up for the move.

She has also turned on her phone number again, hope she keeps using it. She would never had had to do it if she did not turn it off to begin will but such is life.

I found my favorite workout tool. The Sosche Rhythm+ heart rate monitor. It cost me 79.00 (a lot more than that, explanation coming) but is well worth the time and money. Why did it cost so much? Chalk this up to your typical instant gratification syndrome. I wanted a heart rate monitor for use with my Peloton. Their monitor was 48.00 and I figured I could get one cheaper and better from Amazon and purchased a 28.99 and delivered on 10-20-2017. I gave it a couple of tries and it would barely sync to the bike. I then checked with Peloton and found one they recommended, a Garmin, purchased this and it was delivered on the 22nd. I opened the box and tried this that evening with basically the same results. This time the monitor paired with the bike but over 30 minutes showed a heart rate of 44 and a whopping 57 cal burned in 30 minutes. Note, both of these were of the chest strap kind and I really don’t like them.

This next time I decided to do some research and found one which was not a chest strap but you wear it on your forearm, no wetting of electrical contacts or the use of gels. I found a very large number of great reviews for this one and the less than positive review seemed more like user error than a problem with the device. Another plus was a review that specifically mentioned that it would pair with the Peloton instantly. I purchased this and in the mean time I also purchased Peloton’s own monitor (chest strap).

The monitor like I said earlier is the Sosche Rhythm+ and it is all everyone said it is. Paired instantly with my Peloton and matched the Fitbit heart rate precisely. This may have cost me 29.99 + 42.99 + 79.95 or 151.93 but it is well worth the actual cost of 79.95. Oh, the Peloton chest strap arrived on Saturday as well but I have not tried it out (It is a chest strap).

Have a great week and I’ll update you with how this item has fared throughout the week next Monday.
