traffic reporting is busted
For a good long time, I used GPS navigation with no traffic reporting whatsoever. Something like 13 or 14 years. It was in the late 2010s that I started using it due to a goof.
At that time, that older Garmins started getting cheap. What was hundreds of dollars when new could now be had for under $30, so I started collecting them. One of the used Garmin nuvis that I bought came with a GTM60 cable, which is a highfalutin charge cord with traffic antenna built-in. I got a chuckle when I saw it, because the cord was (and still is) actually worth significantly more than the screen itself. The seller simply didn't know how valuable that cord was.
After updating the nuvi, I got it all set up, plugged in the GTM60 in the car and took it out on the road.
I had to go get some service done to my car, and a standard thing I do before I go to the shop is take out my newer Garmin navigator and purposely use an older one before going there.
There are three reasons I do this.
First is the whole "not responsible for what happens to items in car" thing that every garage states in their documentation. That's a not-so subtle way of saying, "We can and we will steal stuff out of your car if we think we can get away with it."
Second, none of my favorites are saved on the older one I use. If anybody that gets in my car goes snooping around my Garmin, there's nothing there to find.
While the DriveSmart 66 and 76 are nice (I own both), neither of them can be set to a vertical display or portrait view. To get that new, the DriveSmart 86 is what you want...
...if it fits in your car, which it may not, because it's huge. The physical dimensions of the 86 are 7.6" (19.2cm) wide by 4.7" (11.9cm) tall.
Fortunately, there are a few older models of the 5" and 6" screen variety.
Sometimes I wish I was okay having a beard or even a goatee, but I just can't do it. Every time I've grown one out, I'm relieved to shave it off. Having hair on my face just doesn't feel right and probably never will, even though I'm blessed with having facial hair that grows very evenly.
Given I like a hairless face, I shave. But I don't shave like I used to.
Years ago, all I would ever use is whatever cheap-but-not-bargain-bin twin blade cartridge razor was available (I probably used Bic Twin Select?) and shaving gel (usually Edge).
What I use now is significantly different.
In my last post, I said how a dive style watch is literally the absolute easiest way to have a quick timer on your person. I also mentioned that the low cost way of getting a watch with that rotating bezel timer is the Casio MRW200H.
Rumors have been going around that the MRW200H is discontinued. Does Casio has a replacement model? I believe they do.
