Pimp my Ride

My co-workers "Pimped my Ride" today.  

Getting Old

From Hog to Knee Scooter....Oh my.    Can a nursing home and wheel chair be far behind?   

Looking for a winter project?

Anyone remember the speed boat dad had at Lake Jefferson?  I think the one pictured here is pretty close.  It's for sale.  It needs a lot of work.  Who wants to fix it up for me? 

Blackberry v. iPhone

I had a blackberry for many years.  I loved it.  I knew how to use it and it treated me well.  It did everything I wanted it to do and I was happy. 
Then, we dropped our blackberry server and I had to get an iPhone.  Very sad.  Not a big fan of Steve Jobs (sounds cruel now that he is dead, but I didn't like him)
I spent weeks trying to adapt to my iPhone.  I didn't love it. 
Now I feel better about it.  The iPhone can do tricks the blackberry can't.  One thing I hated about the iPhone at first was that it didn't have a flashing red light when I had a new email and it is difficult to turn the email notice vibrator on and off so I just keep it off.  Well, who knew those blinking red lights and vibrating email alerts casued me stress?  Well, they did.  I can't explain it other than I have less anxiety about email and check it when I think of it instead of everytime I see a red light or feel a vibration.  Who knew?   I probaly no longer reply instantly to messages, but no one has complained so far.  I get at least 100 emails a day and since no one complained I guess it's ok.   You can teach an old dog new tricks.
