Well I am breaking into the 21’st century and buying a smart phone. I’ve braved the odds and have survived a considerable time now without one. Twice I doubled checked my pulse and had my blood pressure taken just to see why an anomaly, such as myself, is still alive and breathing without the cell pad. I’ve heard that most people who don’t have smart phones die a quick death and are eaten by hallucinogenic coyotes in the ditch!
Two days ago I was driving to a local fly shop here in Missoula to get new fly line put on my fly reels. I usually replace the line on my reels fairly often, especially the ones my guests use. These lines get used heavily and that’s what they are for. Every now and then one of my guys in my boat will complain “my fly line is sinking, or it looks dirty,” they say! My usual reply is “the line is pretty new line, but if you look down under you wading shoes you can see you’ve been standing on the line for half the day, and the last muddy bank you dredged through dirtied up the line considerably.”
Anyway I detoured to the Verizon dealer to look at smart phones! I was amazed at the amount of phones there are. I looked at I phones, droids, LG’s, and Samsungs, amongst others. There is a vast plethora of these shiny gadgets from A-Z. After playing with 20 to 30 of these handy devices, I had no flipping clue what type to get. I consulted Joe, Craig, and Patch, who have apparently have had smart phones since the 70’s, but their opinions differed more than results from arguing who is more feminine, Bernie Sanders, or Hillary Clinton? Or which one looks better in pant suits! As you guessed I’m confused!
Well by the end of this week I will be a Instagramming, Tumbling, Tweeting, Twittering, Linkdin, Hashtagging###, facebooking MOFO!
I just hope my new arriving device doesn’t interfere with my World of Tanks, Halo, or upcoming Madden battle time! That would be a travesty!
A New Boat coming soon!!!!!
