New Phone

We were up early this morning, after the car warmed up (it was 21 degrees out) we headed to Longview for breakfast and to pick up a grocery order at Fred Meyer.  Boy do the heated seats feel good on this kind of day.

We were back in Longview again this afternoon.  Verizon had sent us notice that Vera's phone wouldn't work as they were dropping their 3G service.  After checking the coverage of 5G with a couple of companies I decided we would change to T-Mobile.  Vera never used her phone so we disconnected it and went with the OnePlus 9 5G which we can use for a hotspot for her Kindle at the flying field.  Since we go to Fred Meyer regularly I chose the T-Mobile store right across the street from it.  After getting the phone we went across the street to Dairy Queen and had Blizzards.  The traffic was crazy through this intersection as we ate our Blizzards so I got a chance to try out the camera on the new phone.

As we turned onto Pleasant Hill road I had to stop and try the phone on what was left of the sunset.

I have taken lots of pictures at Lions Pride Park so I had to stop there and take a few more.  The sunset was pretty much over with by then.

They said the OnePlus takes pretty good telephoto pictures so I tried it on some fishermen across the river.  So far I am really liking this phone, it has an Android operating system so it works a lot like my old Motorola.  I have spent some time working on the plane I won, making some changes to things so they are the way I like them.  That and staying warm as it has been pretty cold the last couple of days.  We have woken up to snow two mornings.

This picture was taken in the morning on 2/22/22 and it snowed quite a bit during the day.  By the 23rd it was all gone.

This is what we woke up to the morning of the 24th but it didn't last long.  James has been up a couple of times working on his science project.  We had a record run with it today, 50% further than it is supposed to go for extra credit.  It has been lots of fun brain storming with him.
