Ooh, the satellite ones appeal to the gadget man in me, but a bit overkill and expensive once service plans are taken account of.
Think the investment might be better spent on a LiveTrack compatible computer. At least that means I can hide when it is not switched on.

I cycle on my own, off and on road sometimes in remote areas. I use a Garmin watch to record all my rides and my phone for maps.
What, if anything, are folk using to be able to be tracked, just in case I end up in a ditch. So if i'm an hour or so late home, Mrs can find me.

Beautiful, love it

Agree, once outline planning permission granted, start charging council tax.

Papped in Hull

Yes, on a visit

@lynx yes, but i only ever pass on an evening, so don't know whether its operating
@grams looks a bit healthier there

Saab 9000? Car transporter looking a bit worse for wear

Sweet-tooth

I'm just about to start S03, the writing can be a bit sugary, but it is easy to care for the characters so I can live with it.

I had the Suzuki Swift, mild hybrid is a bit of a fetch, just a lithium battery under the front seat that gives a little assistance. They are nippy with the 3cyl turbocharged engine.
End of last year swapped for an Ignis, mild hybrid, wrongly I assumed it would be the same drive train. It isn't, it's a 4 cyl na, more sluggish and not as nippy as the swift, needs a lot more revs and isn't as economical.
I wrongly assumed that the under pins and electronics etc. would be the same across models. Nope, no adaptive cruise, trip computer is different, no heated or folding mirrors.
Two fully different vehicles. Not disappointed, just surprised.

Hiding isn't removing

Aware, but it doesn't annoy me now when I look at it. Fortunately, as well, you can install some apps on the SD card.

On my Samsung tablet I use Niagra Launcher just to hide all the Samsung bloat

from Creation

Who knew I need one of the calculator casios for £25. n+1

Cannot wait until next year and my shingles vax.

Not sure where you tongue is with this, but i've missed this, 65 at the wrong time. Shingrix is 97% effective so think i'm going to invest privately for it.

I'm still on my Pixel 5a from new. Last few weeks battery has not been lasting as well as it used to. Had to 30sec reset last week and sometimes all that will start is the clock. Don't think 3 years is bad.

This is great, spent the time I normally go out for a ride looking at it. The Wandrer link to Strava is recommended. Although small bits, that get picked up on Activities, are not going to Big Map, which for completeness is a bit annoying. Because I put my walks and runs on Strava, which I do more of when on holidays my map looks more covered.
@Ruserius thanks for the idea and links.

First trip out on fat bike. A lot harder ride than I imagined. Very bottom of Spurn Point

In the far east of East Yorkshire, flying ants emerging, being picked off at low level by dragon flies, at higher levels by black headed gulls. Quite a spectacle.

Is there a pre-retiring / just retired / not ready mentally / body-not-ready thread?

A grumparents thread?
The so-fucken-bliss-happy-biekGrandParents-t­hread?
I mean, I’m feeling faded but teeny-tiny grandkids on balance-machines et. al. must be a thing for others on here?

Just recently ticked this box. Retired and a Grandfather within a month.

The hard and worrying part is staying alive and fit enough to enjoy the Granddaughter growing up. Been visiting National Trust properties for practice walks, rides and cafe'ing in anticipation of the event. Need an offroad pram.

Unless I am on a city break in a Northern German city in winter, i always manage to look like a tourist as hard as I try not too.

Unbreakable, Split, Glass
The M. Night Shyamalan trilogy of 'Superhero' films. Binged on one night.
I like the style they are shot in, the acting's great, they fit together nicely. The stairs scene in the first, grisly.

Approve the CEE viewing
