Obviously I lost all emergency services that will call authorities if I end up in a crash or if my vehicle gets stolen it can't be tracked, but I'm fine with that. Haven't had any of that fancy **** for many decades.

 

Actually, i kinda pray some steels my 20 year old truck.

Damn thing refuses to die (and im grateful for that).   But i'm tired of lookin like i drive Fred Sanford's truck to work.

Yes, A rooted and bootloader unlocked Android phone, that also stays off and at home many times.

 

I use an RFID bag when i want to "submarine" as i call it.

Toss that sucker in there about four miles from my favorite watering hole.   

Beer consuming operations begin shortly there after.

With no disruptions.

Bartender had the nerve to offer me a phone charger.  The phone was dead.

I don't want to be found when i am with my beer!

This worked out well until the wife called the bar one night.  

"Ask him to pick up a loaf of bread on the way home!"

Oh, that went over well.

I have called my wife affectionately "Sweet tater" for almost 26 years.  

Once i left the cell phone at the watering hole.    When i realized that i returned (not a big deal it's not far away and i could get another beer for my troubles).

The wife called the phone to help me find it.

The bartender, named Tori, answered and said, "Why hello Sweet Tater!"  

When i returned to the watering hole i was created by about 10 of my friends yelling, "Why hello, Sweet Tater!"

I may have uttered something...claimed my phone and had my beer...and blushed a little.
