    Getting worried I was doing it all wrong.

    Navagation used to be GPS (Graphite Pencil and Stationary)

    When I was over the road we used maps:rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I'm all local so I just use Google maps on my phone, mostly for construction updates and traffic back up info. If I was still over the road I might invest in a Garmin's diezel unit. When I was otr I used maps and the road atlas. I might get a Garmin nav unit for my motorcycle.

    Don’t let all the old guys fool you, driving app is correct if you were born within this century :D local I use mostly Apple Maps but I always look at the map and make sure if I’m going somewhere unfamiliar I look for turn around places and tight spots that I might get stuck. But I know just about everywhere to go now so all in the head.

    Well only 5 days this week thankfully. It supposed to warm up into the 70s this week. So I'm back on the ebike for my work commute. This morning it will be 38 degrees when I leave for work, that will be the coldest this week. Then it warms up for the rest of the week. I'm thinking I should get my work truck back from repair soon.
    Enjoy the ride guys!

    Went to leave for work and it was 45 this morning… felt nice to turn the heater down on the morning commute. Looks like it will just be south of 80 today.
    @Squirt good luck today and enjoy it today.
