Cells & Scootering
« on: August 25, 2016, 10:38:18 AM »
Man, I use the heck out of my cellphone in my scooter addiction.
Wake every morning at 5:00am and check for rain, snow or heavy fog on the  weather radar of the phone. It wakes me to sea gulls and surf sounds and then informs me about road conditions.
I can count on one hand the number of times since spring that I could not ride.
Beats getting caught in a snow flurry (only three times in three yrs of riding)
Rain storm ...I stop and put valuables away....and cut it somewhat short.
Have sat at lights in a pounding thunderstorm and ignored the kids laughing and pointing from minivans.
Goofy hobby...

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Must admit, don't use my phone much at all apart from checking emails.  Use my home computer for just about everything.  Love the big screen.

My 'mobile memory'  is with me always, an indispensable tool, and play thing.
I have all my data I need to do my job on it plus I can keep in contact with you guys 😊

It comes in  right handy for emergencies.
I had to use it this a.m. ,  when I got a flat tyre from a nail, the tyre came off the rim on one side.!

I use my Cell phone as a phone, an alarm clock and a calendar.  Occasionally I use it as a computer but only if I don't have a real computer available.  I prefer the big screen.  I also prefer to use a real camera rather than the one on my phone.
