Your funny Les with the compass and maps :B
Our youngest grand kid (5) was here over the holidays with the kids. Little guy picked up our cordless house phone and asked " what is this? I told him it was a phone and he looked puzzled. I showed him how it worked by calling my cell number. Didn't think much about it till he took it with us to town and at the restaurant he said your phone is broken :B Well I reach down for the smart phone and tell him, no it's working fine. He pulls out our house phone from his backpack and tells me it's don't work. I told him I would fix it when we get back to the house, sure enough I got it fixed for him.
Just a grandparent story !
That's a good one. I don't have grandkids yet, but most of my peers do and I get a kick out of hearing their stories.

BTW I only get out the compass when I'm hiking, indoors it's a bit off and degrees matter in the woods as the cell service usually don't work.
I'm retired now and one of things I like to do is to drive down back roads...all seasons...although where I live winters seem to last 6 months. I walk down forest trails and always have a camera in hand (for wildlife/landscape photos) and a compass in the pocket of my beat up old Carhartt jacket. With these two pieces of equipment I'm ready for anything.
Driving I listen to the nice lady on the radio speakers, the DW is usually steering me wrong down some lonely road with 15% grades with beautiful scenery. :B
