Cell Phones...

[Mr Grumpy]

It had a turbocharged dodge truck engine and a manual 5 speed.

The US does do some exceptionally manly trucks. When I worked in Oman, there were a lot of these 6-litre trucks around and I always kinda wanted one.

This kinda thing:

The only car I currently have is in Bangkok; a Honda City...


...&, the iPhone is still good. I'm of the thinking that a top end (or even mid-tier) iPhone or Android phone from any of the last 5 years is much of a muchness; we've just reached a point where smartphone tech just does what it says on the box to a high level.

Here's a new phone that's on the market and made in India. It's the Viva V1 and it's the cheapest cell phone that costs only $5!

I still remember all of my old phone numbers, family phone numbers and friends phone numbers from 40+ years ago. Now I don't know any of my friends and family current phone numbers because I don't have to manually enter them any more.

This cannot fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat in the bed.

Not manly.

Mid-life crisis.

This will fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat in the bed.

Manly.

Gets a job done.

I did not have any thing to pickup but I bought a Pick up anyway. People are like sharks when they smell blood, people smell a pickup truck and they have visions of free delivery and moving. I had two pickups and years after they were gone I was still getting calls from people wanting to spend their Saturday afternoon with me moving their mother to an old folks home. I liked the trucks fine but the people I have not heard from in years actually believed that I was so over joyed to hear their voice that I really wanted to move them out of a third floor appointment then carry all their junk up to another crap pit. I never did show up, ever.

And how is that working out for you.

I hate cell phones.

I hate cell phones.

AGREE! even though I have one, but its just for mostly Emergencies and the odd text. I have no data and don't want any.

 

[kevinpaul]

I have two in my desk from my boss. I get a new one every year. I never use the phones. They give them to me only to annoy me at home. Lina bought me one so she can annoy me when I'm out. That one I do play with, at home. The music from it goes to my blue tooth speaker in the shop work bench area.

You have one for family , one for business, and let me guess the third one is for a direct line to the Governor of Florida?
