Went into town and put the Seagull S8 in the back seat. Figured why waste a nice warm, sunny day. Grabbed the S8, music books, and out the door I went.
Business trip fell short, so was camped out in the car in between two Pokestops. Got the S8 out of the case, and was sitting behind the wheel of my '98 Suzuki Esteem sub-compact car and ready to play ... but ... something was missing ... picks!
Forgot the Aloids Smalls tin case with my picks in them... Argh!
Okay, so just about anything plastic could be improvised as a pick, or so I thought. Rather than list the things that did not work out well, and my fingernails were not long enough to play the metal strings, was frantically searching for SOMETHING!
Saw this fairly heavy yet semi-flexing plastic sport on the center console. Adapted it to fit the hand, sort of, and put the spoon in between the fingers to play. Needless to say the passers-by gave me the oddest look.
It sort of worked, but I decide not to play that way very long and headed home shortly after wiping out two gyms I was parked in between. >
So, what sort of materials have others used when they found themselves "pickless"?
Swear I am going to find a way to sneak in some spare pick into the sling, or create a leather dangle and attach one to the strap.
