    2x4s were commonly used to get a mule's attention, or so they say. Unfortunately, I can no longer ask my late father for conformation.

    However, I can reliably report that goats are excellent gifts for those you dislike, because they are great wreakers of damage. They'll eat almost anything, and their sharp hooves are better than hail.

    And no, I have never given anyone a goat. I don't know anyone who could take care of one.

    Google Maps reads to you. Why would you need to look at it, unless you're driving in a new area that hasn't been mapped sufficiently yet?

    The in car nav works well for me. Toyota Nav Lady tells me where to go and the HUD shows me where to go.

    The Garmin sounds really nice, but I'd prefer it if it could be integrated into the HUD, that would be the best of all worlds for me. Of course, YMMV, but I don't think I could go back to a car without HUD.

    I submit that those of you who need to take your phones out of pockets and unlock them to access Google Maps may be able to use IFTTT.

    Have a look at Discover IFTTT and Applets - IFTTT for sample applets that others have programmed.

    You might get ideas on how to put together what you need to get what you want to do done.

    Off topic here. But are you the other "RC airplane guy" I've heard about here on Prius Chat?

    Nice to meet ya then Lee Jay. :)

    Been flying only a couple years longer than you it seems, but took a good size break when I discovered Girls and Cars so maybe it evens out. I didn't get back into the hobby until my late 20's and have been flying ever since. If you ever make it to the Midwest give me a yell. We'll burn some Nitro & fizzle some electrons.

    I went to XFC in 2016, in Champaign IL. Rippin' flying. You could come out here to Warbirds Over The Rockies this year, if you want. I'll probably be a volunteer every day. Here's last year's show.

    Giant scale warbirds! I sure remember those days - but gave those big gassers up when I dumb-thumbed a JU-87 into the ground. Ever since it's been Sailplanes, sport flyers & my favorite, RC Combat. But there isn't anyone left around here doing RC Combat... The closest I get to it now is when my brother and maybe a friend or two tie on a streamer at a Fun Fly event to put on a show for the crowd.

    Looking at those pics though - I'm going to get with a friend of mine. He goes to all those big warbird events. Maybe I'll tag along if it's on his list of visits this year.

    I don't do big warbirds either. But I enjoy watching them.
