Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Bird]

I tend to run behind the pack in technology. I still have a cell flip phone. It has a camera, but is first generation. I can get online with it, but have that dormant. To me, it is a phone. I only use texts when cell service is out, like during a hurricane. When my power goes out, it is my land line I use to call the electric company,

I use my cell phone so little that I changed to a prepaid cell phone and had texting blocked so I wouldn't have to pay for advertising that was sent to me on it. We use cordless landline phones at home, but we have one phone instrument that is not cordless to use during power outages.:laughing: In fact, I'm not sure it's ever been used for anything except to report power outages.

I hope you don't mind this northern boy chiming in.

And here we thought you were one of us. I reckon we can make you an ornery . . . errr, I mean honorary Texan.

My wife has our cell phones thru Verizon,, I have one of the old phone,, flip up.. no picture taking,, I guess you can text on it.. I don't really know.. I like it because it has large numbers.. plus it has voice command on it.. but it can't understand my old slow texas draw.. so it useless,, She make me carry it in case I fall off the tractor and kill myself.:confused3:. I can call her so it won't be a surprise when they find me in the pasture with my phone in hand.. can you hear me now?.:laughing:. Lou

Thanks Bird That is an honor.
I kinda left/lost my heart in Texas when they said I couldn't be a jet jock many eons ago. One of my eyes didn't quite make the grade. No waivers or modern marvel surgeries back then. It all worked out for the best and I have had a good life.

Lou, I cant understand a word you're say'n when your sobor!! You re going to have to work on that!!:laughing:

I also use an older flip phone, old I guess since I have used it for 3 years. Does what I need so far, but I can see where some apps may be nice.

Small showers just North and West of me, maybe I will get lucky before I leave for work.

I had a shower that was a deck-wetter. That's about the extent of it. I guess it was enough to settle the dust.

Lou,
Can you hear me now? You're a hoot and a half.

Dennis,
My phone is way older than yours. It's so old, I don't remember when I bought it.
hugs, Brandi
