I'm the last person in the world you'll find with one hand holding a gizmo and the fingers on the other hand making seeming obscene gestures on the screen. Some people are addicted to this stuff. Apps. "Burro Rind", "Poison Ivy Root", "Tailpipe Soot", the list of insanity is endless and obviously valueless. Remember my story about a friend that got addicted to his 386 computer?

"It makes phone calls!"

"All's you gotta do is (type type type type type type type)"

"Then do this, no wait, do this first, then that"

"Then enter the telephone number"

"And it dials your number!"

"Pete?"

"Yes?"

"I could have picked up a regular phone, dialed it, had my conversation, hung and and gone to lunch in the time it took you to screw around"

It's like some wimmen. They call a friend, fifty feet distant, then proceed to list chronologically, verbatim, every single thing that happened to them that day.

To me, a gizmo is a tool

This gizmo, being electronic, is an instrument, not a tool. Treat accordingly is my point. Tools are disposable and can be treated like sh*t and abused and make you money still. This item, if abused, goes "poof"! with one little mistake. Electronics are like that. Big difference, know the difference is all I am saying. Handle only like a fine calibrated instrument, or accept the perils.

I want Santa to bring me a 100,000,000 gallon barge so I can have it pushed to Venezuela and fill it with ten cent a gallon gasoline.

Barring that, Santa came early this year and deposited a cellular computer phone that is far smarter than it's operator. Like turning a 2-year old loose at Time's Square on New Years.

I am getting a roof rack. A beeg one for my little Dodge Spirit. Now I can strap solar panels to it when I go north for purchases. Maybe I otter start looking for eight ply 14" tires?

I've always maintained since before giving you the Galaxy S2, that a smart phone and a dumb owner (me), was a dangerous combination. No drop zone, or figure out a way to get a case like some sort of Otter Box that protects it if it falls.

For our RV, Santa decided that a new savings account is what we need,....so that we can purchase more diesel than just the new lower price will allow us to buy. At 7-1/2 MPG, and 150 gal capacity, more money is the best solution.

Bought the Denali a morryde pin box for christmas

But I dint get rain on or have hair removed in high wind

Not really a Tech Issue item, but maybe a set of tires for the 5er.

The original tires on the 2003 trailer (built Oct 2002) are still on there ( only with fancy shiny wheels I got a few years ago.) with now 19,500 miles on them. Lots of tread still on there though.

According to the trailer Forums (Fora? Forae? Fori ?) My Goodyear STs should have been replaced at least eight years ago but there is nothing really wrong with their sidewalls or treads from UV or whatever, as confirmed by a Tire Guy. They don't get much sun. Had a couple of punctures plugged over the years.

The last puncture didn't even show for a while (unknown time) till I eventually did one of my tire pressure checks, because the other tire on that side took the weight ok. No idea how long I went on one tire that side. Obviously there is plenty of margin in the weight ratings!

Still, I am almost convinced Doom is upon me for going so long on the 2002 Goodyear STs (which say "Tread made in Canada" on them--no idea where the rest of tire was made! :) )

So that is an X-Mas possible. More likely I will re-do the floor again. The dogs are tough on carpeting. Money will be spent on something! :)

A kick out of watching someone learn how to operate an AT&T Galaxy S II smart phone in Spanglish somewhere south of the border. Pinche gRiNgO!

Black Friday deal on an Olympian Wave 6 for $200 delivered. That price is now long, long gone, me thinks.
