Thanks Dude

Ya know I’ve gotten used to the 1 kid that goes through here every night around 10:30 with his music bumping. I think to myself about 6 or 7 years ago that was me. I know he’s got a part time job working for some lawyer (maybe even a truck accident lawyer) in the evenings, and he’s on his way home. He bumps, but it’s not so loud that things shake. It’s just loud enough for me to hear him go by.

What I don’t care for is the person who just came through here with their music so loud that it shook my house. My $470 motorcycle helmet was sitting neatly on it’s shelf waiting for the day it’s worn again. I turned around in time to see it roll off the shelf, drop about 6 ft, and smack the floor.

You know it’s gotta be a good vibration to cause my helmet to leap off the shelf. The helmet weighs about 3 lbs and sits flat.  I blast my music loud enough during the day time that the neighbors can hear it, but even that doesn’t shake my house hard enough to knock my helmet off it’s shelf!
