<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Elle is 18 months old and has clocked in a bit over 20,000 miles. Over the Easter weekend we took a quick run to Anderson, TX (about 200 miles round-trip). Elle instills tons of confidence when passing, although the Excess Speed Alert chimes just a bit too much. On the Toll Roads it will chime at 83 MPH, just to keep me honest. When passing, 83 is not realistic. </span><div><br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Good </span></h3>
<div>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The Auto Stop/Start feature is still on my "can't decide if I hate it" list. But, long stoplights mean 2-3 minutes where Elle is not burning fossil fuels. I'm watching some of the 328-based "e" announcements - with hopes that the rough restart is solved. Then again, the weight additions for the Hybrid do not look promising (so far.)</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">The Bad </span></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Eco-Pro Mode is hideous. Another nanny-state solution that simply does not work in the real world. I cannot see any reason to switch it on for more than a chance to heckle the feature. I have never been able to add >5 miles to a tank of gas, never able to get to +1 more MPG, never reached a mere 2% improvement. It kills the fun and yields nearly nothing. </span></li>
<li><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">AS/S rough restarts can be defeated by slipping the brake, pushing the button on above the starter, of sliding the shift lever into Sport mode. It's love/hate on this feature.</span></li>
<li><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The iDrive system hates my 32 Gig music drive. It fails to resume play and fails to return to the Current Playback song. I'm willing to cut my playlist... but dang, this is annoying.</span></li></ul></div>
<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">The Ugly </span></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">There is not enough open road in the entire state of Texas. (Same as last report).</span></li>
<li><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">I'll never buy another BMW without xDrive. I'm only an OK driver, so the xDrive was a very good friend. </span></li>
<li><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The engine Double-Tap to turn off - still hate it. </span></li></ul></div>
<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Bottom Line</span></h3>
<div>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Eagerly waiting for June 2017 to take European delivery of an M235 with xDrive. But, worried that the political (social, cultural?) environment might be too risky. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">As soon as
school let out in June, we flew out to Pennsylvania to visit Curt, Kelley, and
Thomas. The trip included several swings into Philadelphia, a trip to New York,
Boston and Salem, MA. The museums in Philly were terrific, as was Valley Forge.
We stayed two blocks off of Times Square in New York – which was just as
frenetic as you might imagine. In Boston we stayed near Faneuil Hall and had
time to take in a “haaabaaah” cruise. </span></span></div>

by the slice, Chinese food in Chinatown in Philly, and ice cream from a working
dairy near the Spanglers’ house. But the biggest highlight from the trip was
our tour bus being hit by a NYPD car. The kids checked the box on visiting: NY,
NJ, PA, CT and MA. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

rained out – culminating in the Memorial Day flooding. Since school restarted, he has spent lots of time honing his YouTube and Minecraft skills. He did get
to host an epic birthday party – complete with video gaming truck. He is doing well in school and has earned a spot on the honor
role for the last three years. Intelligence is not his problem; motivation
seems to be hard to come by. He really is a sweet and loving boy. Holly and
Phil are close and that makes Christy happy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<h2>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Garmin Vivofit Review at 2,000,000+ Steps</span></h2>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">I froze in horror when the Garmin Connect site said it was time to change the battery in my 18-month-old Garmin Vivofit. But they provided a link to a simple, step-by-step video and the process only took a few minutes to complete. Now that it's fully recharged, here are my observations at the 2,000,000+ step milestone. </span><br />

<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Good</span></h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">In 18 months, I have only removed the Vivofit to dress a turkey. Just couldn't see getting all of that "ick" on the band. Otherwise, it has been on my wrist nearly 24x7. That's why I was so hesitant to change the battery. Waterproof? Yep. Water park, swimming pool, dishes, yard work, showers, baths, hot tubs, wading across the river, it just works.</span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The RED "Move Bar" is motivating without being annoying. </span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The Sleep functionality was the biggest surprise. Watching sleep cycles over days and weeks gave me insight into long work weeks, crash and burn weekends (12 hours in bed?!?) and the train schedule - tossing and turning at the exact some time every night when the train passes by. </span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Bad</span></h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">I went on a long summer vacation and did not sync prior to leaving. The Garmin Vivofit keeps about two weeks of data. When I got home... I had lost a couple weeks of data. You have to get in the habit of syncing every week, and need to make sure to sync prior to any long vacation. The ANT stick required for sync should probably be replaced by a simple Bluetooth connection. </span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The Vivofit also does not like shopping carts. When pushing a cart around a grocery store the lack of arm swing (motion) does not trigger step counts. I've been pushing carts with my right hand, just to allow the Vivofit to swing properly. </span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Ugly</span></h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The only "ugly" is that my model didn't have any heart rate monitoring features. Prices have fallen (a lot) and the basic pedometer functionality is just fine. But my MD was only a little supporting my 1000-mile accomplishment. She said walking is just not enough. When I'm ready to upgrade I'll include heart-rate monitoring so I can demonstrate that yard work is aerobic exercise. </span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The Bottom Line</span></h3>
<div>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">If you need to get up off the couch and get started, t</span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">he Garmin Vivofit at $50 is a good deal. It works as advertised and provides enough subtle motivation to keep moving. For the more active, the Vivofit doesn't do all the things that a $250+ device can do... so look a bit higher in the feature and cost curve. </span></div>
