Is a piece of work.
2 years ago a bunch of my friends got together and bought me a TomTom GPS for my birthday
Their reasoning being 2 fold
While I don’t often get lost if I’ve been somewhere before – I am definitely directionally challenged – so much so that I have to pause and think about left and right before I go left or right…
So I’m not going to get lost going thru Vancouver anymore
And there’s the added bonus of there being a speed feature on the GPS and my trike doesn’t have a speedo
I’ve not been able to ride for over 2 years due to my health (something I hope gets rectified this summer) so I’ve never actually used the GPS on my trike…and as a result of not riding I’ve not used the GPS in my car more than once or twice (I live on an island…pretty hard to get lost here LoL)
About 10 mths ago I was going to visit friends in Port Alberni and he suggested I bring my GPS so that he could show me how to sync it etc. I was surprised when I got to their house that the car charger wasn’t in the bag with the rest of the stuff…but it was ok at the time as the USB computer cord was there and we synced it and set it up and now I’m all ready to travel….except for that car charger cord…
I came home from Port Alberni and began to search…I looked everywhere (at least I thought I did) and finally threw in the towel and decided before I go away again I’ll order one from TomTom (I couldn’t for the life of me figure out where it was cos I have inherited the “never throw nothing out” disease)
Pixie has 2 toy boxes – one in front of the couch and one under the dining room table (which is in the corner in my living room that I never use – keep in mind this is a smaller apartment)…mostly she has 2 toy boxes cos so many people have bought her tiny toys that she’s got more toys than most stores….for the longest time she’s not used the box under the table…just hasn’t shown interest.
Today it was nice out…so I had the patio doors open and Pixie was running back and forth, in and out.
I have to keep an eye on her cos she’ll often bring twigs and pine cones and other miscellaneous crud in to chew on and make a mess..and we have this little give and take over the subject all the time (that’s where I talk like she understands, and she looks at me to make me think she understands…and then just goes about her own damn business LoL) but as life will have it I got distracted by my computer…
I’m sitting at my computer and out of the corner of my eye I see a wee movement under the dining room table…I turned in time to see her arse end disappear…so I get up and pull a chair out…and there she is…sitting in her box of toys and she’s pushed a bunch of toys out of the box in an effort to bury something (Chihuahua’s are notorious burying, saving for later kind of dogs – food, toys, everything)
Her sitting in the box is odd in itself so I go under the table to see what she has that she is trying so cleverly to hide from me…and sure enough there was a part of a old wet dirty pine cone in there.
I start to mutter at her about the mess and dig thru the rest of the box to see what else the little magpie has…low and behold there’s a small ziplock bag with the car charger for my TomTom along with a scarf, a hat, one glove and a sock and a teaspoon (don’t ask???).
Yup…She’s a caution.
