[Sportsandrec] Research Not Survey

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Ashley,

         At workout I need not my stick since I am spinning, but I 
place it by my bike, within easy reach, should the joint like, go up in flames.
Apparently, you take your divice much more seriously. More power to you.

>I put it under the equipment.
