Update on the Garmin install

Well, after the class at 24-hour fitness today (which actually had an instructor this time, but sadly was not all I'd hoped it would be), I went over to the bike shop across the street. They are of the same chain as my usual shop, so I felt I could trust them. This option also had the bonus of avoiding the guilt of asking my regular shop to troubleshoot something that I bought elsewhere.* I was thwarted however, when the guy at this location didn't know anything about the Edge, and immediately tried to call his friend for advice. Who, of course, is one of the mechanic guys at my usual location. Sigh. See, this is what I get for attempting to cheat on my bike shop. And with its sister, no less. :)

At any rate, I now have a plan of attack--I'm going to try replacing the battery in the sensor tonight, followed by a hard master reset of the receiver. If that doesn't work, I surrender and make a lunchtime trip to my favorite shop. I think I'll come bearing cookies.

*I don't know why I continue to feel guilty about this, since I do it constantly. Love 'em, but price will win over loyalty every time. I do buy my small stuff there, and they get all my service work regardless of cost, but I still feel like a traitor. Residual Catholicism, maybe?
