Good morning Woods. Late check in today. I've been messing around outside where it's still nice and cool after a trip to McD's to visit with the farmer crowd.


Well after 5 years of hanging on to my old Samsung Android, I now have a new LG G5 smart phone. My first impression; man this thing is freakin' huge compared to my old phone. Old phone about 4.5 x 2.5 inches. New phone 6 x 3 inches.


Now I know that's still pretty small compared to what's out there right now, but how do you carry these things around? Pocket? Belt holster like I did with my old phone?

Bwahaha!


That might work! I have actually entertained the idea of wearing suspenders while riding for the extra comfort factor.


I don't want to carry it in my pocket and considering how stupid insurance is priced with my provider ($10 a month w/$200 deductible), I dang sure don't want to lose or break it!

That might be just perfect Stan. Is the S6 about the same size?

Fire was at 1200 acres last night. 4000 acres this morning. 5% contained. Even have fire tornadoes! Not looking good. Shut down a major freeway.

What kind of phone holder is that Lou?


Since the phone was larger, I was thinking of getting one for my bike as well.


Hope you guys can get some rain or something!

Tracy, if you get extended saddle bags it may fit.

Brand is Slip Grip. Made in USA. Have to have a phone cover like an Otter box Commuter. Fits 1-1 1/2 bars ! I like it! Like $35.
