I drive around a lot looking for FSBOs (in addition to online hunting). I see a FSBO and I start scratching around for something to write with and on. Well, I got tired of that! So I took a leap into the high-tech world (my kids think I'm archaic) and bought a digital recorder. Boy do I like that new-fangled contraption. Why, I just push a button and tell it what I want to remember and I'm done! Ah, life's simple pleasures!!! : )

Hi Michael, I have the same problem, I can never find a pen. My phone has that feature, but I never think of using it until now. Thanks.

The recorder is on my list to purchase! Don't forget, that when you write with a pen while driving, you sometimes can't read what you wrote when you get home!
Thanks for sharing!

I stopped writing on my hand when paper was unavailable when I ruined a good blouse with ink stains on the collar. I have a recorder on my cel phone; however, remembering to take off the information is hard....

I have voice notes on my cell, then I have a reminder popup software on my pc that reminds me to listen to my voice notes. Works great!

You want to blow your kids away! Get Google voice! I will send you an invite if you need it. when you want to do your note call your own phone and speak the msg it will transcribe it and text or email it to you!

One more reason to go with a smart phone. I do this 2 ways. Lock it into the gps and voice record the details on my phone.

Michael: That's so funny...I never find the pen when I need one in the car! I do have an iPhone with a digital recorder application and I don't remember using it. THANK YOU for the post. I will remember now....Happy New Year!

I hadn't thought about a recorder either. My husband has a voice activated recorder that I need to find!
