Does my Kyocera Clip S2100 flip phone count? Or does that mean I'm not "old skool" ... just "cheap"?

No pic but I still use my late grandfather's NOAA weather radio by "Realistic" brand. He used to listen to it and now I do.

Leghog, nice that you keep the skillet in good shape !!

In my kitchen is a 30" x 2.5" rolling pin .Not used very often but ready at all times . It was my Grandmother's [ who was gone before I arrived ] and she and I have made many a pasta meal with it !!!

Is it one of the little cube ones with the speaker on top? I have one of those on my bar, handy for the days I need an up to date marine forecast.

Yes it is, I believe it was even called the Weather Cube. Been having problems with it lately, static, tried some electronics contacts spray but that didn't do anything. It's in the dials themselves I believe. I'll keep working at it, not bad for a 35 year old piece of tech.

I always keep my razor in my bathroom. Do you keep yours in your bedroom? (or is the blanket in the tub?)
