[mestiza letty]

Howdy y'all,

Tried to see what was goin' on durin' the last couple days & was "shut out" this afternoon after I woke up.

Glad 'ta see everyone is alive an' kickin'...caught up 'ta Del on the other "social network" 'ta check out how close that 'nader was.

Werk with some folks from Wyomin' here in Neva- DUH, an' they's sure glad they ain't home. 2 1/2ft of S**w I told them....

Off the week-end & rest for a OT week ahead...lookin' forward 't seein' the Broncos kickin' up some BIG #'s up against the Cowboys...

'Tis true that Blue Bell plant in Brenham,TX would have me ballin' my eyes out if it was lost....That ice cream is just as good as I had in Ireland "nice an' creamy". Can't get it here in Neva-DUH but memory is till good as ever...

Coals are banked for the earlie-birdies...hot water & a pot o' cawfee are waitin' for 'ya

Mucked out the horse shelter, yesterday. Picked the apples off another tree.

Mornin good day for getting things done around the house, as long as it is inside stuff. Gonna be right warm today.

[Delmonico]

I don't know how much it rained here, my soup can blew away in the last storm.   

[Texas Lawdog]

We got a good rain yesterday. The yards really needed it. The front yard looks like a golf fairway.

[Texas Lawdog]

I went out to Wal-Mart this morning, they have 5-C I-Phones for $45, so I did an upgrade. I have to go to a ATandT store to get my SIM card switched out.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Let me know how you like it TLD. I am looking at a 5s when I renew with my carrier.

[Stu Kettle]

Im a foot dragger - still using the model 4.  I looked at the 5 someone else bought on the first day & didn't like it.  My wife downloaded ios7 on her iPad, & I don't like it either, so I'm holding off till there's a reason to change.  I happen to know that not all change is progress.

[Texas Lawdog]

Tom, I don't think that the 5c is selling because of the colors offered, I or a white one. I did not want the other colors offered. I thought that the $45. deal was cheap enough.

when come these devices , I was born under the proverbial rock....
I carried a Nextel Motorola i868 flip phone well into the so called Smart phone era, ( and that was step up for the two soup cans & string I carried before that )

I've have a Sprint HTC 4G VEO 3-D now and only after Nextel went belly-up in the Sprint buyout....(what was that 2 years ago ? )
It has so many APP's , I have no Idea how work....

Seldom use the Text , just use the camera , and phone , and on occasion get a chuckle watching a U-tube bit,
maybe catch the weather feature

heck , I remember well the time , if you needed to call and you weren't home , you hunted a phone booth a used a dime !  

[Texas Lawdog]

Roger, You are telling everyone how old you are. It is the circle of life.

[Major 2]

No kidding... I remember Gas wars and Gas @ $ 0.17 a gallon 

I remember S&H Green Stamps & Top Value Stamps got my first guitar with 6 1/2 books green stamps....( and the case was 2 extra books )

Burger King had Hot Dogs , Royal Castle was 5 cents a frosty mug of Birch Beer and 10 cent hamburgers.

Big news was Elvis was going into the Army, and we had not heard of the Beatles yet ! ....

Korean War was in the news .... and Viet Nam was of little interest ....

and we had a Rotary Dial phone that came in black only !  the # was FR-37173  ( FR was the exchange ( Franklin ) no area code
and for Long distance you had to dial O and "she" would connect you.

That was a nice stroll back

 The Good Ole Days!

[Delmonico]

I still have a dumb phone, don't see the need, only advantage I've seen is I can do like my brother and look at Craigs List around the campfire, I don't want to look at it around the campfire. 

[pony express]

Back in from Kansas, had a grand time at the Grand Muster. Attendance was a bit low this year, I guess everyone is just too bust working in this great "economic recovery" we're having.

Agree on the phones, Del, My phone may still be a dumb one, but it can make a phone call or text if I want, don't care to sit around the campfire checking facebook, craigslist, stock portfolios, or zapping aliens. All that stuff distracts you from watching the fire, hearing the conversation, seeing shooting stars, or other more important activities.

[Arcey]

Done rained some. Ain't at the moment. Might again at any minute. Too freakin' warm.




My cell thing don't wanna text no more. Wife 'n daughters don't know how ta talk no more. Gotta clock with the date what shows. Gotta calendar. There's an alarm with both. Works good. Don't gotta count-down timer. No stop watch function. There's some stuff on the menu I ain't gotta clue about. But, I want more phone when I replace this'n. 'Specially the count-down thing.

[Major 2]

The whole idea of a phone around a camp fire is counter productive to me....
I camp or do living history for the enjoyment of a simpler time, the smart phone, dumb smart ,any phone is not part of that,
It does not exist, as it would spoil the mood
