pre- trip report
 

Heading out in a few minutes for two weeks in Western N.C. for a little
fishing, Hope to join my mentor Jeff Miller for a couple of lessons before
he ends his two week trip. I have cabin on Snowbird Creek ( stocked
section } so if anyone is in area and wants to join me for a short hike
call 910 262 7761-you have to be close to get wife's cell phone.

Checked Roff for a few clues to improve my catch rate but found mostly war
talk and election talk. Perhaps we should change the name of our newsgroup
as contents have certainly changed over the years.

Luckerly (?) I have printed out fishing hints over the years from Willie,
Bruiser. even nympher Dave, etc and will take my file along and try
different interesting methods of rigging , casting, and presentation each
day so I don't just get tired of reeling in fish.
You guys have fun and organize the world while I,m gone.

Have a good time, Joe. Right now I'm stuck in Moriarty, NM, with a flat
tire and cross threaded lug nut. Hopefully the guys at Larry's can get
it off and I'll continue on my way home from my 8 week journey.

Unless there's something unusual about the hub with the flat, just snap
off the lug (it can be done with a 4-way wrench, or certainly, an
appropriate socket, straight/"breaker" bar, and if need be, a cheater
pipe (simply a length of pipe that will fit over the breaker bar and not
bend, ala chain-link fence top-rail of something). Then simply remove
the rest of lug nuts, the wheel and tire, and knock the stub of the lug
out from the front. If you can't knock the stub out, you can remount
the fixed tire using the remaining 4 or 5 nuts and be carefully on your
way to a larger repair facility.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, Joe, but someone could be standing
side-by-side with you and it would make no difference. These new-fangled
cell phone devices ain't walkie-talkies, ya know! ;-)

I hate to be the one to tell _you_ this, but some kinda are, or at least
work for the end-user in much the same way. And depending on the
carrier and type of phone, it's possible to have better luck across the
country than standing next to each other. There are spots (both in and
out of urban areas) where, for example, a particular Cingular customer
can get service, but a Nextel/Cellular South/whoever customer can't and
vice-versa. And if there aren't any towers in the area, nobody is
talking to anybody...

So, basically, in Joe's context of someone having to be nearby to call his
wife's cell phone, what I said is correct then, right? Or are you saying
some cell phones are phone-to-phone direct, which is what Joe implied?

Some can be "phone-to-phone," (well, most commonly, it's more (internal)
tower to (internal) tower, like Nextel, but see below) some can't, but
IAC, some areas (although the number is dwindling and coverage areas and
system-sharing agreements are increasing) are serviced with limited
towers, all of the "local" carriers. I can think of a number of rural
or just semi-rural areas that are now, or in some cases, less than 2
years ago were, in just such a circumstance. So, if you aren't using
the same carrier AND in same general area, getting through is or was
hit-or-miss. All I was pointing out was that from an end-user
perspective, and under certain circumstances, "cellular" might seem very
much like "walkie-talkies."

I didn't know Nextel had direct phone-to-phone capabilities on some of their
phones, even without network access. That's pretty cool.
