I went to a local trans org picnic today in giant state park, but I showed up super late and basically only had time to join the hike.

I left my keys in the truck and figured I could use the phone to unlock it when I was ready to go, but my phone didn’t have signal down in the valley parking lot and since I got the cheaper model it can’t do a PaaK bluetooth connection. So I had climb the trailhead a quarter mile again to get cell signal to unlock the truck.

But I was too cleaver by half, because I was hot and sweaty I figured “why not start it too to get the air running?”. When I got all the way back down to the truck I realized that remote start re-locks the doors. So I had to climb the trail to unlock it again.

Also, I’m 0 for 1 on using Satellite for Messages. I spent 10 minutes with my phone pointed at the sky in a clearing by the truck trying to ask my wife to unlock it with the ford app from where she was, but the short text message never made it through in that 10 minutes.

Thankfully the car itself was able to get cell signal to receive the message down in the valley. I guess it’s got a better antenna setup than my phone.

Also the battle between humidity and hair products, humidity won.

She has grown increasingly frustrated with having to repeated climb the same hill to get a cellular phone signal.
