Fair enough I suppose. I'll ignore the whole phone location debate.


The main reason I don't use mine is the opposite of you; When at home I just open the app and start the truck, so it warms up by time we head out the door. Or I'll covertly use it a couple minutes before my "smoke" breaks at work. (Don't smoke anymore, but I will take advantage of breaks).

The second, it was from my F150 and while I know it will work... I'm just too lazy. Plus, not sure if it'll interfere with ford pass app or not.
So far it hasn't changed Ford Pass but I didn't think to consider that - thanks for the heads up, just in case.

I guess it's more a factor of my phone, but it takes a while for it to load the app. And I always close all my apps, because of my phone's age. I suppose I could just leave the Ford App open to shorten my perceived slow go with it.

And there are many times I leave home without my phone or I might be doing yard work and won't have the phone with me but I'm ready to head to the dump. Or in the middle of a project and need a quick run up to Lowe's.

In the summer, that would be nice since I often have the key nearby and I could start it up for the AC while finishing up without needing to go in and grab my phone.

LOL, as you can tell, I'm not a huge fan of carrying my phone with me. =)

If they find stool when you're getting a colonoscopy you're not prepping properly... I'm just saying...

Or, stay with me for a second....

You could get a new phone.

LOL, so true!

But nah, this is an unlocked Motorola costing about $200 - I don't want any carrier-branded phone or mark-ups.

For me, I use it to make calls, take pics of my Ranger (ugh, that's dumb), and maps (and pics of Cheech too, but that's not dumb!). And I live on the edge without having it in my pocket all the time.

Nothing against those that are more connected than me. My boss uses an Apple watch and can look like he's in the office regardless of where he is. I do envy that but not enough to actually set it all up.

Now get off my lawn! =p

I get it.

I got a pixel as my last device because I didn't want to be stuck with any carrier. And I'll be getting another one probably this year if I can find money in the budget...

And I can choose what apps I install (beyond system apps) and what I allow them access to because of the granularity of the new os's.

But, you do you boo. (as my kids teacher says)

Cologuard is an incredibly complicated thing, if you've ever had the fun opportunity to partake in such a marvel. =(

TMI? not if you're an old fart ...

No to cologuard. The real experience is much more pleasant and memorable. o_O
Especially when the Dr. allows you to stay awake and watch the process on the monitor!

I prefer the getting knocked out part of the procedure (I'm a product of the 60"s). Not so much the studying for the test.
