No big deal.

I was on it a few weeks ago, heading to COTA for the F1 race!

Is that the Valentine App or one of the other V1 apps? If so, which app? I've been using the V1 app. It's OK, but I'd make changes if I could. I've been wondering about the other couple of V1 capable apps out there.

Yes, it is a private party app called V1 Companion, and adds a bunch of features and enhancements to a Valentine 1. Highly recommended. And the developer is very active on the Radar Detector Forum and responds to questions and feature requests.

Thanks, I'd wondered. I've seen and posted about a few 3rd party apps in another thread about radar detectors. I have been using the V1 app for a month or so now, and it's OK, but not great. I've been wondering about the others, but don't want to make a purchase without hearing from someone with first hard experience.

I saw that the Companion app seems to be the most highly rated of the 3 that I saw for iPhones. And it seems to get a fair amount of love at https://www.rdforum.org/.

I may give it a try, thanks.

For randomish photos, I saw this on the way home from work one day. Electric Mustang in Gulf colors.

International Space Station slipping across the Moon's face as it flies by at 8 kilometers per second, gently kissing Tycho crater. That crater is 53 miles wide, so while the station almost looks like it's orbiting the moon, it's actually 1000x closer to us. What a shot!

This is seriously cool! This is a REALLY OLD handsaw.

I've noticed something that I think is really odd. We have ants that spend nights in between the posts and rails of our fence. The thing that I find so odd is that they come from one fence post, walk across our gate, over the chain, and then spend the night on the other fence post. In the morning, they travel back to the other side of the gate.

We usually have our gate closed with a chain around the end that opens. On the odd occasion that the gate is left open until it gets dark, if I go out to close the gate, the end of the gate is covered in ants. I'm not sure what they do if the gate gets left open all night (do they sit on the end of the gate all night?). But if I close the gate, they then proceed to their usual spot. It's also interesting to note that these ants are polymorphic. There are two different sizes with one that's fairly small, and the others are quite large (easily twice as long and probably 8x heavier).

In the first two shots, you can see the size difference



THis shows them huddled up together between the rails and posts


The ants come from the far side, walk across the gate, and then use the chain to get to the fence on the near side.
