Hooking up in the dark!

I was just being helpful, courteous, kind, cheerful, obedient, clean and reverent.
(I think that's how it went 55 years ago when I learned that)
:nono Uh, you forgot a couple there Paul....

Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

I knew that somebody much younger with a better memory would jump in to help me out on that one. :)

I thought it was a good idea.

My Autocom connectors have ridges that I use to line them up when I can't see them. The only issue is that the ridges are too small to feel with heavy gloves on.

+1. My cables have the raised ridges that line up. I have no problem finding them with my summer gloves or my BMW winter gloves. Just takes a bit of practice.
 
Even with heavy gloves, I roll the connectors lightly against each other and feel the index as they line up...then push together. Took some getting used to,but now it's easy. Dark, rainy,whatever.
We only use the Autocomm set up on long trips, no need or want of Bluetooth daily being retired:thumb
