#$@%$#!! Cell phones!!!!

Well, I'm 100 yards out on a rock last night, just Canalman and I slinging snakes and enjoying the full moon. Dave gets on large and I walk over to help him, falling on my arse on my way. I hear drag going ZZZZZZZZZZ, then he's got her in the rocks.......snap...the line goes limp......Now it's dead silence,neither of us have anything to say as we're in awe over such a great loss...Then all of a sudden...My cell phone rings(I never take the damn thing with me)...I reach for it swiftly and to no avail....It falls in the damn drink, just a small puddle, so I get back to the truck and dry it out on the heater, the phone is acting kinda funny so I say, No problem, It's under warranty, they'll never know it got dunked....WRONG...The friggin' phone has a moisture indicator...I got bagged....Well. it is still working for now, until the salt eats it up...LOL
Sorry, no pics!!!

2 yrs ago I was launching my rig in Pt. Jude and I dropped the cell into the pond.....only in 1 foot of H2O, so I picked it up....dead as can be. Bring it to the dealer and they open it up and everyone laughs as a pint of water pours out of the phone......cost me plenty to buy a new phone.

On the Back Beaches and the Race, it's always the '60s for me. That's my "Happy Time and Place". No! I don't mean dope either!
