Like 8-track, I use my phone for phone stuff and my computer for computer stuff.

Calls, text, sometimes the GPS, banking app, sometimes an inventory app we use at work (if I forget my work phone at home), little bit for looking up things on the web, snapping pictures.

My Moto G Play (cost about $150) suits my needs for a phone just fine. My phone plan is with Verizon, no contract. Unlimited calls, text, 5 GB data/month (unused gets rolled over the the next month), mobile hot spot. The plan costs me about $25/month

Three One NINE!

I have a work iPhone and a personal iPhone. As a direct result my car warranties expire twice as fast.

Got an iPad and notebook computer also. Chose the right tool for the situation.

I give zero fks where the sh-t is made. Or who fkn makes it.

You want a Samsung? Buy one. Apple? Buy one. Google or motorola or whoever the fk else makes phones? BUY ONE!

I don't care. But compare the $350 phones... the iPhone SE is far and away the better deal.

Not any more . I have an SE that is about 4-5 years old. New ones will be 5G and sell for $499 starting March 18. They also will be powered by Apple's own in house chips.

Dog walked. Laundry folded.

Sawed through some oak branches for exercise and some firewood.

Dismantled the rusted out firepit.

On the hook for whipping up BBQ Chicken Nachos tonight.

Am more of a breakfast cooker.

I think generally water heaters estimated around 10ish years. That's not to say you won't get more out of them. Think they do it to minimize b1tching when it goes to chit

The sad reality is that the days of household appliances lasting 20 yrs is looooong over. Just look at your product's warranty. That will tell you exactly when the manufacturer will tell you to take a hike if their product breaks. The industry standard for most white goods at this point is 10 yrs. After that a manufacturer will categorize the product as end-of-life.

I did it annually on the camper, but never in the house.

Speaking of campers... I'm hoping the gas prices tank the camper market.

And in other expensive pleasure news, wife wants a paver patio off the deck. She even sent me links to the stone tiles she wants. I gotta make some calls to borrow a skidloader, I'm not digging that out by hand. Need to lineup gravel n sand n stuff. I already have some drain tile to go beneath the bed.

I told her to pick out cabinets cause it'll be a year to get em. She said she'd rather have a patio off the deck right now.

Good memory, I did do that to our two tank water heaters. One developed a leak in venting system and was replaced by a tankless unit. The other unit is still working and I'm considering another electrode change out. The tank water heaters are installed in 2002 when we built the house.

I think that's one of those memories that could fall off the back of a shelf to make space for something new.

Happy day of Thor, all my Norse peoples

Why did the Norse get naming rights for the majority of the week anyway?

Good Thursday Morning! It's an overcast 56° on the way to just 60° and more rain headed our way.

15 wc 4.

Okay, Mother Nature. Take a look at the calendar, please. M-A-R-C-H is what it says. C'mon, now.

Dog woke us up too earlier than normal.

Turned it into a early attack on the stationary bike (7 miles, 31 minutes) and a shower.

Breakfast complete, halfway through the coffee.

Going to play Retired Slug mode today. Tomorrow looks to be busy.
