Windelynn has been looking for a place for some time and asked me if there were any units available in my condominium. I was curious myself as to the prices that these units were going for and I found one which was actually the same layout as my unit that was going for.. two hundred and eighty grand. Holy crap! Prices have gone up! (I certainly could not have afforded that!)
I also went out to look for some watch batteries. The clock in my bedroom has been dead for years and I figured that it was high time that I replaced the battery in it. I also wanted to replace the battery in the compass that my dad gave me for my car. It too has been dead for at least a year. I was a little surprised to see that it was run by a watch battery too. AAA batteries would have much easier to procure.
Since it was getting late, I was pretty much forced to go to a Best Buy and hope for the best. I also decided to ride since I did not take advantage of the clear skies during the day, and the temperature was still above freezing. (Well, technically it was.) My gear certainly was being pushed to the limit for cold weather protection, and I realized that my boots would probably need changing first. In any case, I got to the store, found the battery rack and..
I forgot to bring the batteries. I barely even looked at them before I left, and I had left them on the counter so that I would not forget bringing them to the store! Argh!
Well, I knew which batteries I did not need, and I eliminated virtually all of the batteries that were available. But when I got back, I found out that I needed a 337A button cell (which they did not have) and a CR2032 cell which the might have had. (I was staring at the CR2025s.) Ah well, I will go tomorrow morning.

When it comes to unconventional batteries The Source (aka Radio Shack) is the best place to go IMHO.
Secondly, your compass needs a battery? (That's weird...is it electronic?)

Yes, I wanted to go to The Source by Circuit City but they were closed by the time I even thought of leaving. I will be going there this morning though.
And yes, it is an electronic compass. It lights up too! (Which really drains the battery.)
