Just find a carrier you like and go shopping Ruth and get something newer than this: If you don't want to spend the extra 20-30 a month on data plans, then there's still plenty of great phones out there better than what you have.

Been shooting Easton Axis ST a few years now. Great shafts, no complaints.

Love my new Galaxy S II. Great speed and features, much more display than iPhone. What the question is for you Ruth is are you ready to step up to a monthy bill that's going to be in the 50-70 dollar range? Once you get into the smartphone price range your going to be obligated to it for a couple years. Smart phones are great, no end to the apps out there, from forums, to hunting/fishing times, banking, GPS, ebay, everything you can imagine is a touch away, but you'll pay a premium over what your doing now.

Just depends on what you want. Can't beat an ATV to get in thick stuff but personally I like a nice warm quiet truck on icy mornings to get around. A lot of it depends on you road access.

Used to live about a mile off the gulf, I really enjoyed being on the open water, exploring the islands in the sound, fishing, crabbing, etc but didn't care to live in Biloxi, lol.

Welcome back Steven. Sounds like you've had some good things going on.

Been a vollie about 7 years. Work a lot of wrecks at times, but never took the EMR plunge, maybe it's those calls at 1 in the morning about rectal bleeding that keep me from taking the next step. Haven't been at it as hard as this year, been busy with softball 5 days a week lately and I got a little put off with a couple members and some other things at our dept. Lack of professionalism at times and no real sense of purpose during others. I realize some of the guys haven't a freaking thing to do in their life, but I have better things to do than come to a meeting and BS for almost 2 hours. Kinda sad cuz I used to jump at a 3.30 am fire call.

I'm so sorry to hear that Steve, I hope for both you and your family's sake you can keep fighting it off, you've all been through a lot in the last year. Will definitely say a word or two for you and the family. Hang in there!

Have a good one Todd!

Gotcha Dan! Looks like a fun time with some long range plinkers from pics I've seen over the years. Would be great to be taking 300+ yard shots with a 204 Ruger or 17 remington or something.

I see that now from my computer, doesn't show the sig from my phone when I posted. Takes a smart guy to guess what state your in from the pic, just one of my many talents.

I agree..... ...On the other hand it's usually my kids that lose those things in the first place... :ninja:

Nice. Looks like Florida or coastal land?

Had to put my mower in the shop last week, just couldn't get it to crank, and exhausted my limited abilities. Didn't care for the service last time I took it to my normal guy, so I went to another man that I had heard of for years that was supposed to be good (and also supposedly blind). I was thinking the whole time, "yeah right, legally blind, but capable of seeing some detail up close", but when I got there I found him lying on the ground putting the belt back onto a mower with his eyes closed, having been shot in the face with a shotgun years ago in his wilder days. Of course he had a couple younger guys around to help him, but his knowledge of mowers amazed me, being able to recite about any belt size for most any mower from memory because he has to. He told me he just learned to sharpen all his other senses to compensate for the lack of sight. Amazes me how some folks just have the will, the decency, or whatever you call it to work for a living, while others are content to draw every penny of disability they can for any ailment their attorney claims keeps them from making a living the old fashioned way. Honestly can't say either that I would be working like that if I were blind, would like to think I'd find something, but who knows. Just my gripe of the day. Astonishes me the folks I know that draw disability, some with 10K zero-turn mowers and a cash-only lawn business.

Are there any laws about hunting them or is it just open season? Dumb question probably but we actually have a sseason on crows here lol

Looks like fun sport, closest we have here are armadillos, lol.

He seemed to be a man of principle I'll give him that. I really don't like any of them too much.

If they eat wild game then process something for them. I sliced up an entire Turkey breast once for a guy and brought it to him in a Ziploc. Have done the same with smoked sausage. Just a way of sharing what he shared with you.

I agree. They should throw the book at them and revoke their license for life. Sickening

Had a great one Tim, hope you did too!

Been surprisingly quiet here. Pager hasn't went off in a week almost. With this stupid ankle sprain I haven't been responding anyway.

At&t ditched the unlimited and now its 30 a month for 3GB. That's a lot of freaking money each for a family of four just to be sure you don't have overages. I asked the lady if they could just cap the data when you hit your limit and of course they won't. I too dropped the home phone a few years ago but they manage to get it out of you anyway lol.

I'm sick of getting hosed by AT&T. Went to pay the bill online and found I had an extra 60 bucks for data overage on my phone (I have a small 300mb plan, almost always on wifi). Last month it was my daughter who had the same thing. I end up having to go back retro-actively to add bigger plans to cover the overage then drop back the next month. I hardly use my data away from wifi, but always seems to be an app that will eat it up about one or two days a month. Kid's 13th bday is this year and they'll both want smart phones I'm sure. I dont mind getting them one, they work hard as honor students and athletes and have earned them IMO. Any of you guys on a different carrier or something that you can bundle the entire family with data? I'm paying around $200/month now for 4 phones, I can't stand the idea of going up again. thanks in advance.

Cool pic Leo. Glad that one stayed in the sky.
