I use technology like this iPad and my international smartphone and the latest state of the art editing and effects systems where it makes sense to use it. I don't use technology for technology's sake.
LEDs would give us a little better light on the boat but not so much better than the time and hassle of cobbling some soldered-up adapter is worth to me.
Ready-made, drop-in replacement lamp, great. Something I have to piss around figuring out and soldering together, no.

I understand what you mean. There are lots of things that could do with upgrading in my 1944/71 farm house in Oregon but why, things still work and there are always flashy new doo dads to spend money on.
Best wishes

I think we get it. You want to stay in the dark ages as long as possible. Just be carefull out there, you might sail off the edge of the earth!

No, I understand there's a fence around it to prevent things like that.

If you have a spot for it ANY old fridge makes a great paint locker.
Just put a padlock on it to keep kids out.

A good place for a flip phone would be in the fridge,and it`s not likely to warm the beer.

the ringer you can shut off, your fancy "smart" phone that eats up your battery in less than 24 hours? I agree - put it in the fridge

Well the fact is I find the smart phone cheaper than any other and yet i dislike the thing. I get unlimited and very fast internet anywhere it will work for less than forty bucks and that includes on the water. Internet i can use on my laptop or my desktop even at the same time. I always have in my pocket gps tracking when i choose to use it so i wont get lost and that includes even areas without cell phone service or on the water. this service is free, app name is My Tracks, I can get weather or info on just about anything or place in cell phone areas.
Without the smart phone it would cost me $79 per month or more just for internet and i could only use it at one location. For the gps i could buy one of them gadgets but then i would also have to keep purchasing the map update but with the smart phone and my tracks its all free.
They are good things but i still dislike them and all phones

Cold beer is what its all about..
However most fridges only keep the box at 38-40F .
COLD BEER is kept on ice ,the mug to imbibe from is kept in the freezer.
ICED BEER is easy to do with the remarkable insulation of high buck ice chests.

After being forced to give up alcohol consumption for medical reasons four years ago, I can tell you that yes, life can exist without beer.

sorry to hear that. A co-worker almost killed himself drinking milk. He loved milk and it caused his kidneys to quit. He was very fortunate in that by going on a very strict diet and taking pills everyday for sex years his kidney function returned. He now is back to normal but still avoids dairy products for the most part

I don't know, but when I get out of work on a 90 degree plus day ( with no AC at work ) and stop at the boat on my way home, open the cabin which is over 100 degrees inside - that 38 degree beer in the fridge tastes mighty fine! Not sure a glass of milk would work quite as well but I'll concede to anybody with medical issues that restrict them.

you know for a lot of years i loved to go on tortourous hikes in the hottest time of the year and drink nothing just so i could make two three four cold ones waiting for me in the cooler for my return disapear in a flash. I think they would evaporate before they hit my stomach but they tasted oh so good. I have stopped doing that cause i almost killed myself by doing this when a kid at 63. Now i even take water with me. yep, you heard right, water. Thats that flat tasting stuff you wash your car with
