I thought I would like the solitude more than I do. I like solitude but enjoy company too.

Your CB handle will be firefly.

Use it as morse code?

Thanks.

I had a trailer the other day I could have sworn was rolling behind me more right than centered but wondered if it was just my imagination. So that's what that is? It was off tracking? Hadn't seen this til that day. Thought I was losing my marbles.

The school I went to taught us to put our hand at the top of the steering wheel. (steering wheel being a clock, the top being 12:00). When we start to see trouble, turn toward trouble. Trailer going too much left, turn to 9:00. Too much right, 3:00. Small movements is all that's needed. "Turn toward trouble" they'd say over and over.

Most digital aids now have volume suppression programmed for sounds that are too loud. I had to have it shut off because being around deisal motors would make them turn all the way down making them virtually useless.

Takes quite awhile to get used to them. I go nuts now when they break down. Hate having to go without them. Been reading lips as well my whole life. The worlds a really loud place. No wonder it's nuts.

I wear over the ear heariing aids and every headset I've tried causes feedback. Anyone who wears hearing aids knows how frustrating feedback can be. The speaker phone mode on my phone isn't loud enough for me. I'm not the kinda person that needs to chat but sometimes I have to leave a message with my DM or someone else within the company and can't take the return call when I'm driving. I then have to pull off to a safe location and try again to reach them. That can waste time. Well I found a device and wanted to share with others in case anyone else maybe has a similar issue. It's called the Jabra Tour. It's a bluetooth speaker phone that clips to your sun visor. Works fantastic and plenty loud enough and clear enough for both parties. I found it at the 49er in Sacramento. The only place I've seen it. $99.00. All the typical voice command functions.

I'm pretty sure the weight limit's 50lbs. That doesn't count your carry on. You get a free carry on. Although I've seen people with multiple carry on. Whether they paid extra for multiples I dont know.
