    You keep it backed up to the cloud, in case something should happen, right

    Mr. @G13Tomcat ... I don't know what a "wake zone" is... but I am guessing you guys will go to a beach or somewhere like a lake to enjoy jet skis... yeah... with summer coming, it's going to be fun..:)
    Pictures... I have posted many pictures... but in the Classifieds forum... trying to sell used E-track load straps and new Front Axle Chrome ABS hub cap & nut covers But haven't got one reply yet.... :biggrin_25512:

    BTW, if any of you would be interested in anything I am selling and would like to make an offer, send me a pm.

    An expensive lesson here. Maybe one of the more technical people at a phone retailer can recover your data. If you have some sort of tablet, you may want to synchronize the contacts with your phone.

    Backups are your friend.

    What is that a big Birch?


    There was a neighbor a couple houses down from my dads here in Florida who’s 100 foot Ficus tree blew over just like that during the hurricane 2 years ago

    After much discussion and debating the cost to reright it he Topped it off at 10 feet .

    Brought in some dirt and rocks and landscaped the roots. Tree took off growing upwards immediately from the severed trunk

    Sorry to know that Mr.... I know how it feels.... It totally SUCKS.... :mad:
    I lost almost all my contacts (but no business contacts) once when all my notes fell in the garbage bag and I threw them away by mistake.... :angry8:
    And another time, I left my one month old smart phone (first one I bought) on the rear DOT bumper of the trailer and took off... :biggrin_2552: Only realized what had happened 2 hrs later... faaaar away.... and had to buy a Tracfone at Pilot so to make phone calls...
    Nevertheless, I wouldn't keep all my stuff in any cloud.... cause I am old fashion... like to keep the original notes in a notebook or two...
    Hope you can find a way to get in touch with your agents/ brokers...

    Regarding the straps, Household movers use a lot of those straps to secure things in their trailers. Especially when they have multiple shipments in the van that need to be separated

    Numbers are still all on your SIM card. Do like I do and next time you go in your carrier have them them make spare SIM cards for you with all your contacts.

    Back in the day I would buy 10 flip phones at a time for $100. Always have spare duplicate SIM cards. Forget or lose phones to the water just insert new SIM card in new phone and fire em up.

    I only got a smart phone 3 years ago after getting into trucking.

    6 phones and $1500 later.
