    At this point, any attempts to deny would be futile.

    Indeed.


    Ok folks; I need some input here.
    The cell phone looks to be well and truly lost this time (it's not in the house, the car, the truck, the garage, the shed, or at work). I haven't shopped for a cell phone in probably 5 or 6 years. Who's got suggestions on durable units? I'm hard on cell phones; always dropping them, stepping on them, knocking them off of tall places (like roofs), etc. The last one was practically indestructible with just a plain leather case, but I'm reasonably certain that they haven't made that model for years.

    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.

    I like it and I hate it. If you happen to have a ton of molle hanging around its cool, if you don't get out the checkbook.


    That truck is a beast!


    He sent me the dimensions, and I like how his turned out. Bins hold all the loose junk very well.

    I have the Kyocera torque. I've had out for about 6 months now and I like it a lot. It's built to be abused. Waterproof up to a certain depth. Shock proof. Dust proof etc.

    I think most carriers have at least one ruggedized phone. They may not have it on display, just ask. Usually they are flip phones that are beefed up to be impact, dust, water resistant

    I had a Motorola flip phone one at my last job. Dropped in mud, water, from pretty decent heights and it worked and never broke

    I have an LG flip phone that has taken a LOT of abuse. I won't buy anything with an exposed screen, touch screen or exposed number pad because I'll just ruin it (and I hate touch screens).

    So it looks like a flip phone is going to probably be my best bet. I'll have to make sure to ask for the "rugged" phone option, haha.


    It's the most Toyota-looking Nissan I've ever seen...

    Honestly cant believe no one died, i never realized how many people were onsite until we all evacuated and there were like 200 guys outside. A couple guys got taken away to the hospital, i think one was hurt pretty bad, but nothing life threatening. Pretty crazy day to say the least.

    Fred were you on site? It looks like the Q decking let go? That is the job that my old company was supposed to man in mid April. Looks like that will be pushed back again. Quick edit. Nevermind I see you were on site.
