@roamer_1 I like solitaire too,i don't know what you can run but I'm sure you'll find something.


I do highly recommend Gas Buddy it tells you the prices of gas in your area so you can save money!!!!

What's astonishing is the phone doesn't come with a file browser. 9999hair out0000

There is on mine (MyFiles), but it is pretty crappy.

Thanks for that... But I don't pay it much mind... I always go to the Conoco or the BP... You have to remember I am pretty rural... there ain't a lot of choices to choose from, and they are all pretty competitive...    :shrug:

Grocery IQ is a big one for me.  I have lists for grocery store, hardware, pet shop, etc.

I'm sure there's apps for online shopping as well if you're into that.

I take a lot of pictures of holes in the ground.  For example, I recently ran a sprinkler line under my driveway.  If I ever need to find it again, I've got pictures to reference.

So here I am, in the big suburb with gas stations up to my armpits, and I fill up about once a month... :shrug:

Unless I go to walk off, or go off a ways fishing, my monthly gas bill is around fifty bucks... And that is in a 1/2T pickup. I am mostly between my cabin and the farm - about a mile away, and I run around in town around twice a month.

I will have my minivan going again sometime this month, now that the snow is well off... It will still cost me about 50 bucks, but I will be running around a whole lot more.

Huh.  Never pictured you as a minivan guy.  I guess I never thought of it....

My kid has an s7 coming up for sale - so that's where I will be this summer... This is just a 75 dollar POS to get me started... Training wheels.

But I'll tell you what, I don't think I need much more... I will never fill this thing up.

Training wheels? An S4 in this day and age is like swimming with cement blocks under your arms. They are built like tanks though. I get a new phone every 2 Samsung models and my daughter is still using my old S4 to listen to music and play games and she treats stuff like shit.

'Computer tech' looks better showing up in a minivan rather than a hillbilly pickup... It has step ladders on the top too - because computer guys need step ladders...  :whistle: :shrug:

Mrs. Liberty and I had S4s for quite a while, it seems.  I liked them better than the Moto Droids we had before that.  We like our S8s a whole lot, though.  I don't think it's the age of the phone that kills it, it how much bloatware you've allowed to accumulate that kills them.

I treat stuff like shit too.  It's good for it, breaks it in.

It's the dumbest thing. I think a ladder rack is a general purpose universal 'service guy' sign. A good portion of my new clientele comes from neighbors of my current clients or from folks taking the phone number off the van while in transit... Before vs. after the ladder rack, I will bet my business went up 25%... And I don't think I took a ladder off there but maybe 3 times all last year.

Go figger... :shrug:

Don't discourage me Frank. It won't take much to put me back on my flip phone... And I'll tell my ol lady it's all your fault. You don't want that to happen. She'll find you out. That hilljilly gal can track a mouse fart through a windstorm.

It does. I don't use it. The ES one is much better. It works better, I think, moving files across my network.

I got tired of replacing the screens on my Sony Ericsson. The last time I broke the screen on the same day I had replaced it. So I looked for a rugged phone and went with the Samsung Rugby Smart.

I ended up leaving it in my pants pocket and into the washing machine it went. Once I figgered that was where it might be, I felt around in the washer. Of course I ran it on hot water. It was down on the bottom of the tub. I pulled it out, activated it, and made a call. Everything worked fine, except for the speaker. Later that day the speaker dried out. The screen saver got smeared some with the agitator.

That's another thing I don't like about smart phones... I routinely have to replace a flip phone a couple times a year... But it's a flip phone... Who cares, right? It's $25 and a half hour...

Get a few hundred bucks involved in a smart phone and drop it in a 5 of paint... lose it on the trail, leave it out in the rain all night, run it over with a tractor...

Even this S4, which in smart phone world, is already nearly antiquated, cost me 75 bucks... Lose or break that a couple times a year, and it's a whole different thing, not to mention the three or four hundred per phone to get anything decent.

And they don't store well on you either... They are prone to being in the way... prone toward destruction.

I wish you could tie two phones to one number. even if only one could be on at a time... I'd keep a flip phone around for rugged duty and keep that spendy smart phone in a drawer for around the house and town...
