My $10 Android phone (Moto E, 1st Gen) which has no voice, text or data plan is complaining about space, the final frontier. As in, I finally can't fit another app on it. Which sux, 'cause I've moved all the ones I can move to the SD card (16GB), and all my photos and videos are stored in the cloud, now. This may be why my pano shot at Lake Leland did not store... anywhere. And the one nice shot I got had a nasty horizontal line glitch in it.
Yes, Google Play Movies & TV... almost all of that is on the SD card, as its approximately 17 hours of television episodes (SD card) and the app (internal). Those episodes are of The Expanse (whole first season) and the last eight episodes of Breaking Bad. Those are my "go to sleep" entertainment for my battery-powered sleep cycle. Start one, I'm asleep in 15 minutes or less.
All of the Google shit seems to have to run from the internal storage, which really chaps my scrotum. 'Cause it's all so big and heavy!
This is all I can put on the SD card, so far. I'd love to install MyTracks again, to help Brother Bob with the cool map action, but I don't know a way to force it to install on the SD! Any hints?

Weekend Recap, Succinct w/Lessons Learned
Wink is deceptively simple... for morons, apparently. If I hadn't seen this screen 100 times since Friday evening, I wouldn't have had to viciously cockpunch that old man for innocuously uttering "uh-oh" in my presence, today. ;)
Eighth and Roast's hipster/quasi-vegan (not) biscuits are small, pricy and delicious.
Landlady felt guilty, gave me this. :)
There are good people doing good works in Nashville. Click to, well, you know. h/t Ed.
Honda kicks major ass, forever and always, ramen.
Mormons can be people, despite the majority who present as advanced androids with can opener personalities.
Awww, KITTEH!
Awww, HOPPY BEER! I want the 12pk/2-flight "Deconstructed" set... brewmaster preparatory classes!
Steve is a fellow Smyrnan, rides a kickass Vespa 300ie Super and knows some awesome backroads in Roofie County. Also? Hell of a Nice Guy, and newish friend. Here's our ride today, map junkies!
Steve and I are considering a counter-club alternative to Nashville's The Snakes SC. That would be the Volunteer Scooter Cooter Collective of Middle Tennessee. Must be age 40 or over to enter. And if your main ride is Chinese, under 100cc or pink and/or flowery, you must have a visible tattoo. ;) Face/neck, preferably.
GoodYear is spying on me. I knew I shouldn't have started with the Michelins and the Wink mesh net.

Mo' Dollar Tree Holla
Slipcase for the LG G2. No belt clip, but still useful. One side is reinforced with a stiff foam (screen side), and the whole dealio stays nicely secure over the sun visor in the truck.
Golla for a dollah makes me holla for Dollar Tree!

Remote Possibility
Ever since my aging HTC Incredible 2 stopped being able to recognize its microSD slot a few weeks ago, I have struggled for a reason not to recycle it. I mean it's still a 4" WiFi tablet, but its old, non-upgradeable OS (Android 2.3.4) means my choice in browsers is limited, as are the sites I can use without crashing it. It also still works pretty well for GPS stuff (Glympse, GoogNav, etc.), but no camera and no music makes this thang more paperweight than I would like.
Since my PC is now my all-in-one solitary entertainment center, I decided it'd be nice to be able to control Netflix from the HTC. Enter myRemote, which is a free Android app that will work with Windows Media Center. Now, I'd much rather view Netflix using a browser, since its UI is 10x faster. But being able to lay down to sleep and not have to get back up to navigate to the next episode of Breaking Bad is not worth nothing. :)
The app is no-muss, no-fuss. Just launch the server app on the PC (requires latest Java JRE), tell the Android client the server's IP address (which it tells you with a right-click on its system tray widget), and you're off to the races. Me likey. Plus, if I'm watching Battlestar Galactica DVDs at bedtime, I won't have to wake up to that annoying menu music playing over and over every 65 seconds. :)
I wish I could get it to work with my Visio M220VA, but sadly, no.
