Last week my family moved. Second damn time in three months. I know, that's short, but gotta do what you gotta do. We lived in one valley for five years and we have had the same phone numbers for all five of those years. So, since we moved three hours away we thought it would be worth it to change area codes. In doing that, we needed new Sims sent to us from Verizon. So, we have them send them and we get them. I call and have Verizon change our numbers. I have both phones powered off when I call. When instructed, I put my Sims in and boot the phone. Lady tells me that after ten minutes they should work, and we hang up. Twelve tries later, the phones won't activate and I call Verizon back. Seems I fried the Sims some how and need to trade them out at a vzw corporate store. We head there and they can trade out my wife's phone sim and it works, but my phone won't have the number change until midnight for some reason. So, we have to come back the next day. Ah, but okay, whatever. While I am there the next day I see the car mount I had my eye on... its only 29.99, and I am getting ready to drive from Salt Lake City to Lubbock Texas. So, I pick one up! Good market ting messing up my sim card vzw! Lol

Now, that was the back story. Today, I begin my trip. I forgot to grab my car dock, but remember just before leaving. As I remember, my wife is also leaving and going to meet me at a gas station to file me up on her card before we part ways. She leaves, and I send my 9 year old in to grab the car dock. Understanding that if my wife finds out she is waiting on me because I wanted to put my car dock in she will not be mad, but she will make fun of me ruthlessly. So, I don't have much time! Dang if this thing didn't actually install in about two minutes! I was stoked. Click the bionic in and we are off. GPS running. I use Google maps navigator and I put the satellite layer in so I can see cool things as I drive. Really I guess I don't know why I put the satellite image up, but I love it, so I keep it. Anyway, I got to the gas station fast enough that I didn't get picked on. Whew!
Now, for the drive start. Driving down the 6 highway across east Utah is really mountainous and really turn heavy. Guess what... it was dark when I got there too. Yay for me! But there was a cool thing. This was the first time I had used Google navigation while being able to see the screen at a quick glance because of where the car mount was. It was awesome to quickly check the few miles forward that we could see. It was nice to see a sharp turn coming up and know I had to be ready to slow down. And, one time when I had to pee I was able to see there was a road turn out coming up and I was able to slow and turn down that road and stop my truck and pee! It was really cool there in the middle of know where because of how many stars I could see. The only place I have seen more stars was on the deck of an aircraft carrier at sea at 2 am during lights out periods. I suggest that everyone some day go to the middle of no where in Utah and take a look at the stars in a clear night. So, back in the truck the road seems to straighten out. I reached up and turn my screen off, makes it easier to see at night. In the end I got here with my Bionic showing me where to go and that car dock is straight sweet. So, tomorrow as me and the three kids bite off a 8 hour drive, we will have my bionic up and running the whole time. Can't wait for the bionic part. Long drives blow, but the bionic and car dock will be fun.
Night AC! Enjoy my story,

The car doc is great, the Motorola Roadster Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone is another terrific investment, also does the reading of text and FM transmitter so you can stream from your phone.
