Hot days, rain, storm clean up and returned my iPhone 15 Pro
Posted By RichC on July 19, 2024
I don’t think I’ve ever recalled a hot summer in July or August that I’ve needed to “remove” water from the pool? I did so with a spare pump leftover from my biodiesel days and a sprinkler. 😊
This year, we’ve had the somewhat normal hot and dry weather … followed by thunderstorms, tornado warning and some extra heavy rain (video). There was enough rain that the pool skimmers could not do their job, so it was time to pump a little out.
The winds were so strong that they blew our wicker furniture off the porch and took down a Mulberry tree from our property onto the neighbor’s yard and driveway. This might be something that 
I would normal clean up on my own with the chainsaw and trailer, but decided to call the same guys I had remove our Blue Spruce and trim some elms back in the spring (they cut another larger hanging branch down too). Unfortunately it cost us the same to cut and clean this up as it did the trees in the front of the house earlier this spring.
Now onto my disappointment: The iPhone 15 Pro that I thought was a good deal at $400 off for an unlocked phone, had a defective antenna or receiver chip and would not stay connected to the Verizon towers … and they are close to our house. So the last two photos at the top will be the last “higher quality” that I’ll have for a while. Hopefully my purchase price will be refunded — my return was approved by the reseller. For now, I’m back to using my good friend’s iPhone XS … which is finally working again. After the fiasco, I might just hold off as long as Jeff doesn’t need his “perfectly good” iPhone and OtterBox case back.
