Did you order your iPhone Duo yet? $2k?

Actually I need a new phone, last year my otter box broke and I couldn’t find a replacement. My cousin is a big wig at Vorizon and I asked her where I could get one. She took my phone and said it was ancient and they stopped making it a long time ago. She said I needed a new phone and will tell me the best time to buy it at the best price. No duo though.

is this like finding out the real number for 911 is 912? I'll look into this Vorizon.

Yeah, my phone is pre-covid. it keeps freezing up or losing connection. restarting usually helps but I think I'm due. I was really hoping for the integrated contact lenses that were promised to us in 2004 but still not there.

Good Morning Wes! How is the phosphate reduction project going?

Okay, a little delayed. The Salifert test seems to indicate just above 1. Since the level is dropping I've reduced the dose of Brightwell Phospat-E to 12.5 mL.

Again the color is fainter in real life than in this picture

If I could get an otter box for this one I wouldn’t even be looking for a new one. I’m not really into the next shiny thing. When the iPhone first came out our cell phone company offered an upgrade and I was the only one in the family that said no. The second time my wife asked me again and I said no, the third time she just upgraded me. I keep most of my cars on average 8 years, I’ve never leased.

I think my first iPhone was a 5. but I think I had the first Motorola Razor. I needed a new phone in like February but said, I'll wait till Sept to see if they have something better. Electronics is old school within 6 months That's the reason I like to get latest there.

Looks like real progress Wes. Good afternoon.
