My Garmin 205 is officially toast. It was turning OFF during runs (last 3) and I found one of the pins that connect the electronics to the screen was broken off from sweat corrision. It appears that sweat enters the battery sound holes and touches these pins. It is a very poor design for a running GPS. I will not buy another 205 or a 305 model for this reason. I used it for about 1.5 years and the pin can not be repaired. Luckily, my 201 has dried out and is working OK. I may look at the 405 or another brand. Any suggestions?
Today I ran Wheeler Farm while Lucas, Elizabeth and my mother-in-law checked the farm out. I had a pit bull dog jump up and bite a hole in my old St.George shirt...stupid dog...stupid owner. The guy felt bad, but you can not have a dog like that running around Wheeler Farm with all those toddlers around! Stupid guy! He immediately loaded up his dog and left. I hope he buys some dog obedience classes for him and his dog. Other than the dog excitement, the run was nice.
