My wife demands we keep a land line which is has been all spam except for one call a week from her Aunt. Yesterday I was downstairs making breakfast when the phone rang and I usually let it go to voice-mail or hang up by itself. This time I answered fully prepared for a robocall and hang up, instead it was my doctor from USC inviting me to join a webinar. 

 

Same with my household. If I do make a call on the landline I'll ask my wife to hand me the spam phone.

Hmmm...

Haha! I’m guessing it’s when I travel out of my home area code.

For my cell phone, I got a prefix outside of my actual home area code.  So when I get a matching area code call, I know it's crap.

It’s the same for me (I even get some from Russia) but I do not get them when I’m out and about. I really don’t know why though

Latest hike.  A real easy one.  San Juan hill.  A short 2.1 mile hike with about 1,040 foot elevation gain.    

 

[Tank]

that bird is living dangerously.

[Blarg]

Why is @gotbeer posting hiking pictures in a Telemarketing thread?

[T.G.]

Maybe we could make this the camping, hiking and fishing thread...

 

Caught this big gal yesterday.... just over 4 pounds.  A real tank.

[Blarg]

After you cleaned the mud off it what did it weigh?

[Tank]

don't know my fish very well. is that a trout?

[Blarg]

Does it look like it has a bum calf? Geez, you ask the silliest questions.

[gotbeer]

@True Grich catch and release, or with butter over the campfire?

How about that title?  Since if we included fishing, I think hunting should be in there.  Just so that @mtangelsfan didn't feel left out.

But if you shot every gopher, they would lock you up and throw away the key.

Neither.

It was a lake.
