#3 Times a Charm, so they say.

The new Jeep:

Stretching myself a little thin with the Camera phone and new jeep - have to wait a couple of weeks to afford insurance & registration. 

Anyways, I like the brand, the engine's good - low KM - 180, 000, but the undercarriage is held together with structural rust. Which means off-roading will need to be a little more gently than I'm used to - 

Meanwhile, everything according to plan...a little behind, but only a little, and by October - with luck - a proper place to live.

And, finally, Ken in the kitchen showed my his new phone, a free upgrade from Ma Bell with a 2 year contract, and it spurred me to finally upgrade my phone. 

You've probably noticed as of late that the photo quality has been a little off, and that is only mostly my fault, certainly not entirely. 

So, head down for my free upgrade. I'm looking for a free upgrade to a Samsung S22 Ultra, which, I've heard, is a good phone as well as a great camera.

I'm hoping for a bit of credit on my old phone:

"It doesn't take the same quality of pictures it used to...." I tell them, but fail to drum up any sympathy. Long out of warranty....

And no one, I mean no-one, was interested even in the slightest in my "Etsy" page whereby I offer custom wrapped and protected phone covers.

***

In the end there was no free upgrade, a $900 credit against a $2000 phone, $525 up front, the rest pro-rated on the bills, and another $100 for the case because I damn well better not drop this one!!!

***

So far, I'm marveling at the quality of photos it takes (none so far because there's been nothing to take pictures of...), it's rather amazing and hopefully this is the summer in which I get more than a few great photos. The improvements in phone technology - every 2 years, are amazing. This I find impressive. My last phone, I was impressed, this one even more so...

We'll see. An ill-advised but long overdue purchase.
