September 23,2016 - Friday

We started the day with a good home-made breakfast made by Chef Richard and his hot griddle. We had an appointment  in the afternoon made by KIA to have the trailer hitch put on our new car. It was in Emeral Coast which is between Navarre & Destin about 1/2 hr away. Richard was pleased with the end result. When we got back he made sure the bike rack fit the hitch, which it did. One thing our new car doesn't have is a CD player on the radio. That sure was a surprise to me. The salesman told us that the KIA Soul was orginally geared for the younger  population by the manufacturer and they use their smart phones with playlist. We found out that a lot of the newer cars now aren't including CD players for the same reason. I have to have a CD player in my car because I listen to audio books from the library when I drive. The salesman told us we could buy a portable one with an auxiliary cord so that it would play it through the radio speakers. So we went to Best Buy and got one for $25 and it works fine. The gal at Best Buy said she heard that also about newer cars not including a CD player as standard  equipment. I guess we do live in a "smart phone" world. Call me old fashioned, but we still have flip phones!!
