Summer time again, and I am about to head to Banff for some extreme biking riding. I remember that I have a watch Casio Pro Trek model PRT 40 that I brought in 1998 and I want to use it because the watch has: 1. digit compass 2. Altimeter 3. Thermometer It will be cool to see how elavation I ride up the on the Rocky Montian. However, I needed to replace the battery. I rememer that there are 2 batteries in my watch. I "assumed" that one of the battery (which has a red cover) is for maintaining the data while the other one is for display, so I decided just to get buy one for now, and I will get new battery when I go back to HK (i.e. it is very cheap to get battery in HK's Women Market) Tonight, I went to SuperStore, brought a button battery model 395 and I try to replace the battery.

I should have posted news about my long lasting parking lot accident last week. So... finally, I am breath again! Here is what happen and a bit of recap: About four weeks ago, my adjuster tired to negotiate with the other insurance company, stating that they believe the case isn't my fault. However, because of the current law (not sure if it is Alberta traffic law or some insurance company's rule), the decision stayed as 50% of my fault. Basically, when your car is in reverse, you are consider to be a moving vehicle , even you step on the brake paddle and stopped fully .
