My New Boat

[Terrierman]

I've got an Atlas in my truck.  Have carried one basically forever.  Every Wal-Mart has them.

Amazon sells them.

round, and get a heads-up on the generation schedule.  

They might say no generators and then run it anyway.  Back in the olds we just committed to going and live with what it was.   You’re getting soft😁

Agreed.   But at least I'm resisting it, and disgusted by it. 😊

Has anyone besides me ever thought about how screwed you'd be if you were many miles from home and your smart phone decided to blink out ?   

Do you have numbers memorized or written down on something in your wallet?   I don't.   And even if I did..... where's pay phone?

Can you even buy paper Maps anymore?  Where?    

All this reliance on mobile devices is nerve wracking.   It's gonna go bad, you know it is.....and then what?

That happened to me at Eagle Rock a few years ago.  My phone got wet, and had to find my way back to the campground at Roaring River to pick up my stuff, and find my way back to I-44.  Luckily I have a sense of direction, and knew I had to go North to get to 44.  But was uneasy just the same.   BTW, gas station attendants are not the same as they were 30 years ago.

Absolutely amazes me how many folks rely on their handheld, tracking, phone to run their lives.  Doesn't anyone know how to read a map?  If the cell system went down folks would lose their freaking minds.  Most couldn't survive without their pacifier phone for a week or two.

It's not easy to get lost between Eagle Rock and Roaring River but I guess a determined fellow could do it.🎯

Does it tell you where all the gas stations, fly shops, and grocery stores are in the Branson area ?    No. 🙄

People down there aren't friendly with directions like they used to be.
