While I love the sounds of nature, being exposed to it already 24/7/365 (spring peepers are already out in my woods) I need motivation sometimes & miss my jody calls for that.

Still open for discussion, just understand one thing folks, I already get the need to be able to hear the sounds around me, like horns/folks calling out/etc. My state does allow 1 ear listening device so its not illegal here.
