The new snobPho... er iPhone.

Jumping from my 3Gs to the 5 has been nice. Much faster response, LTE data now, posh screen. Probably not worth the jump if you've got a 4S. But like I said, my old one required external power to function reliably. Mercifully I'd bought one of the external battery cases for motoing a couple years back that I could use to keep it going when I couldn't have it plugged in. But the whole random 'I'm going to shut of AND keep draining the battery" thing got old fast.

yeah, not enthused about that part...

But now my work space has full time streaming radio thanks to my old phone. Still works on wi-fi, plug it into some computer speakers and the wall... bam!

Without the phone capability they are really just new gen ipods. Those have touch screens, wi-fi and can load apps.

I don't care what you touch!

Pedantic moment - they call them iPod Touch. There's no iTouch.

Went diving. Hung with a green turtle for a few minutes while (s)he scratched his back on some coral.

Rode to Battley.....froze my arse off.  Saw a nice old MV and a couple nice Ferrari's.  Fixed license plate bracket and a chain that was ready to fall off another rider's bike which was scrubbing the ba-jezus out of the tire.  Note: vented leather gear 9no matter how many layers you have underneath) and summer gloves do not keep you warm in 40-50 something degree temps.

Broke off the bleeder valve on the left caliper of my 83 Honda Magna.  The clutch bleeder valve is messed up, so I have three on order now.

you looked in a bad way when you showed up...I felt bad for you...

BTW...whose bike were you readjusting the chain on? and the nice old MV is a buddy of mine's out of his collection...that particular bike is for sale....

Hopefully the levers I'm getting from another member here will be on my door step when I get home and the new bleeder valves will be at the dealership when I check my phone this afternoon.
