I have the Galaxy Flip4 and really like it. Actually, since I seldom ever call or receive calls, mine gets used more for looking things up or texting friends and family. I really like the belt case the wife found that lets me fold up a flap and remove the phone. No longer do I have a large phone on my belt that catches on something almost every time I get out of the vehicles.

The wife has the Galaxy Fold and has ordered the new one, but she uses her phone for so much more and could really used the new one. Not so much in my case.

Today was a little bitter sweet, but overall it was a good day. My daughter asked if she could start driving her brother’s pickup. It’s been almost one year since she lost a brother and I lost a son. His pickup has mostly just sat in the driveway since he passed. My daughter is 18, and I never got around to teaching her how to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission. Today, she learned to drive it. We went out to some county roads with nobody around, and we spent most of the day starting and stopping. It started out pretty typical for someone learning to drive a standard vehicle. Lots of sputtering, stalling, and tires screeching, but she got the hang of it fairly quickly. She then learned to start on some small hills, and I told her that she was ready for a bigger hill. We drove about a mile where I knew there was a pretty big hill. As the hill came into vision, she said “Oh $h#t”. She doesn’t normally cuss around me, and she said it like she truly meant it. We had a good laugh before she attempted the hill. On the first try, we rolled backwards for a bit before she gave it the gas and spun rocks behind us for about 200 feet. The second and third attempts got a lot smoother, and I told her that she now knows how to drive a standard transmission.

I had considered the Fold 5 or the Pixel fold as it would be a gem to have with work, but I carry a Dell Latitude everywhere I go that does more than any fold could.

This is a win win as I can go smaller but not, if that's sense. It will be nice not having a phone sticking out of my back pocket all the time.

I'm 43 and remember the day, the truck and the stretch of dirt road I did the exact same. Top 5 of my fondest memories I had with dad. I'd be willing to bet a cup of coffee it will stick in her top 5 someday.

Big thunderstorm rolled through today with only a sprinkle of rain but the cloud formation was like the sky was on fire.

The wife is electronically poor. She has a regular laptop that I use mostly when we are on our Summer jobs and away from my desktop. Then she has a tablet connected to Verizon, which she uses for some lookups on maps and other things as we are working. If weather threatens, she uses that tablet with a radar app (My Radar) to watch and see where showers might be (we can't work in rain or even wet roads), and she has her cell phone (now the Fold4) that she uses for lookups, directions to places, and when she gets some error message or other thing she wants to keep, she takes a photo of it on her work computer monitor. The Fold4 has been a second laptop for her with the added benefit of taking pictures and making calls and getting/sending e-mails.

When my youngest son was really into photography, he “watermarked” his pictures. I thought it was kind of cheesy at the time, but I guess it does keep people from stealing your stuff.
