For those of you who don't know.. Cell phones and Bush hogs don't mix.

[IndyMX]

Any questions?

PS.. the fancy 5 dollar screen protector didn't work.

Now, I know that pictures are worth a thousand words (but warning!!!),

BUT

I want to hear how this happened.

 

[IndyMX]

Way more innocent than it deserves..

I was cutting grass today, it fell off my belt. First time since I got the phone that it's done that. It couldn't have done it in the living room, where there's carpet.. Oh no, that wouldn't be dramatic enough.

Had to happen while I was sitting on a tractor with a bush hog attached.

It made a slight grinding noise as it got ripped into a few hundred pieces.

I found the SIM card, it still works find. I did not find the 8 GB memory card. OUCH. All of my contacts were on the phone. OUCH.

Oh well, rebuilding is fun, right?

 

[flyingfuzzball]

yeah we have one of those bush hogs that we use for cutting around fields. i can see how that happened. 3 inch tree no problem. 1/2 inch phone. no problem!

 

[IndyMX]

None at all..

 

[RYDMOTO]

I am not sure which is worse...that or having it fall into the toilet :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

Nice job! Maybe you can enter the field of metal shredding. You've already got the start of a good resume ;)

 

[Patman]

Looks like you need to sharpen the blades, mine would have made phone confetti out of it.

I thought its been a while since we last "heard" from Indy? That was bad, I know. The phone in the crapper is not funny either! Thats why I do not want a fancy pants flip phone. Got to have my nextel brick phone. Military approved of course. It would have made a lot more pieces in that bush hog. I would like to see the phone guys face when you drop off the parts, can you fix this kid? Is it still under warranty? I have no idea how it happened, it was fine 1 minute, then it wasn't? I know, should have read the book, not bush hog compatible??

I keep all my contacts on the computer,external disc and backed up online.I have to 'cause no one calls me.

 

[IndyMX]

Yeah, as soon as I get all of my contacts back in the phone, they'll be backed up and stored OFF THE DAMNED PHONE!

New phone showed up today, wouldn't you know it.. I left the damned SIM card in my dad's car.. Oh well.. I'll be going over there anyway tonight.

 

[Patman]

Mine backs up to my account on the Sprints system. Came in handy when the phone just locked up on day, they sent me a new one, flipped it on and it pulled them all back down.

 

[IndyMX]

Well, I hadn't even remembered but a week or so ago I setup my phone to sync my calendar with my Google Calendar. I hadn't realized that I also set it to sync contacts..

All of my contacts live! Whooot.. Happy Day!.

I'm really only out a few bucks, a memory card and a few pictures that were on the memory card.

Not such a bad deal after all.

 

[Patman]

I'll send you a bill.

 

[IndyMX]

Huh, another bill I can ignore.. Cool.. was looking for one of those!

 

[wardy]

just glad to see when i opened this thread there wasn't an arm and hand attached to that phone.

 

[Patman]

That would be an Oldguy post Wardy ;)

I never had a problem with my Encite, until the bush hog incident that is.
