jcollie719My federal tax refund was deposited into my account this morning! I immediately replenished my overdraft account and currently have over $1,100 in my checking account. (Last week's DoorDash earnings were also deposited.)
I switched the FM frequency I use in Denver for my car's Bluetooth FM transmitter. I originally used 103.3 FM in both Colorado Springs and Denver since KIQN-FM has been off the air for the past few years (except for occasionally broadcasting to maintain their license.) In Denver, 103.3 is sandwiched between the low-power "Comedy 103.1" and full-powered KRFX 103.5. I get some bleed-over from KRFX while using 103.3. This morning, I changed my transmitter's frequency to 90.7 FM. The closest station on 90.7 is a lower-power one in Longmont, so the frequency is much clearer for me in Denver. I switched to 90.9 FM when I got back to Colorado Springs to avoid bleed-over from 90.5 KTLF. There is a "Way FM" in Rye on 90.9, but most people in Colorado Springs listen to Way FM on the local 99.3 repeater. (UPDATE [3/13]: 90.7 is actually clearer than 90.9 in Colorado Springs.)
I found I was occasionally missing urgent messages since I don't always hear the notification sound I use (a single bell ring.) I changed it to part of the dialogue from the beginning of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Fat" video: "Yo, Ding Dong, man! Ding Dong! Ding Dong, yo!"
