<\/p>\n I got up from the Hotel in Susanville Ca, thinking about the lost GoPro. I decided to forget it, buy another one tomorrow, and move on. \u00a0I was about a mile or two out of town and went to call my brother from the helmet phone.<\/p>\n “Mobile 1 can not be found” \u00a0said the familiar voice of Siri into my precision labs molded ear phones in perfect fidelity. \u00a0Siri’s never mad, can have a hint of\u00a0glad. but no real feeling of\u00a0understanding.<\/p>\n She sounded cold this cold as ice this morning.<\/p>\n I pulled over. The phone was not in any of the bags, so back to the Hotel. Searched the room, and …it was nowhere.<\/p>\n “Find my iPhone” yeah of course my iPad could find it. The app error out! Dug out the laptop and it said it was right there! Joy! There’s a button I noticed that said “Make a sound on the phone” and I did and went back to the room.<\/p>\n It was under the pillow bleeping away and flashing..of course! I was listening to an audio book in the middle of the night to drop back off to sleep!<\/p>\n I need a “find my….” for everything on the bike and me. \u00a0I’ve lost three things since 2006 ..a cell phone charger, my GoPro (damn, I wasn’t supposed to think of the anymore!) and now this iPhone. Before 2006, I was a total loser. A complete idiot, I almost lost everything.<\/p>\n I was headed to Salt Lake City and passed a sign\u00a0for Reno. Beth Housen lives in Reno. She was an old friend from my childhood neighborhood. \u00a0I called her and apologized for dropping in but assured her I’d drop right on out to. She was working at a fair near the Golden Nugget.<\/p>\n I was there in 20 minutes. Great thing about a bike you can drive around in places cars can’t. The guards let me roll around looking for her as I spoke to her on the phone trying to find common signs. Finally I just blew my air horn (glad that was fixed) and said<\/p>\n “Can you hear that?”<\/p>\n She was right across the way from me.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’ll have to straighten that photo later.<\/p>\n Trust me she looks great vertical. \u00a0I gave her a bad girl sticker, as Lisa, Beth’s best friend, and another girl from the old gang wanted one, as did Dee Dee, who actually looks like the sticker, \u00a0so I’d brought them along.<\/p>\n We talked for a short bit and i was off to Salt Lake to see Lisa. I had to make dinner. I had 5 hours and 500 miles to do it in. Time to ride.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vanishing Point\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The Salt flats, rte 80 Straight as an arrow and flat as a lake. Let’s see what this thing can do.<\/p>\n![\"iphone8n-4-web\"](\"https:\/\/daverand.com\/ride\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/iphone8n-4-web.jpg\")
