  1. I live in Colerain Township, largest township in the state, just north of Cincinnati. Colerain is the home of the Colerain Cardinals high school football team. Hopefully they will win the state title this year. GO CARDS!

  2. I used to print off the cache page(I have 2 binders full of them) but now I write the cords. and note any useful info from the logs and go for it. I have a PDA and have considered using the options for it but for me, it's just as easy writing down the cord. and notes.

  3. I recently bought a walking stick at a local craft; town,mall, market(Metamora, IN) It was everything I thought a walking stick should be: light weight wood, slightly crooked like a tree branch and cheep, $7. Until I tried to put it in my car trunk, it was about 4in too long. I could cut it but I don't want to. I should have bought a collapsable shaft.

  4. It depends on what part of town you go to. To the north and east not to bad, but in my yard they are terrible. I shoveled a wheelbarrel full one day around 2 trees, 2 days later there were twice as many. This is no lie, there's a hole in the ground about every 3 sq in. Today my son and I were taking turns shaking them out of the trees and batting them with a wiffle ball bat. They also make a screeching mating call, it sounds like a siren going off. Local TV measured the noise with a decibal meter but I don't recall what it was, maybe around 97 decb. When your around as many as I am, the dead ones start to stink. At least they can't hurt you, just annoying as hell. They'll be here till the end of June.

  5. It's a long story but in a nutshell heres what happened. At a CITO event some of the oldtimers decided to form a club, all was good. At the first meeting committiees were formed, one being Caches of Concern, which was interpreted many ways. This is when things got out of control. I'll stop here.

  6. Mayflies are like large mosquitos, mostly all wings. Cicada bodies are half the length of your little finger. I'm glad I'm not a 4leafclover cus I'd be eaten alive by the cicadas! If you survive their attack 4leaf, I'm looking forward to your battle stories with them. T10X

  7. I've been to Lake Erie about 15 times in July and have seen the mayflies. I've heard the stories about using the loaders to scrape them up but have been lucky enough in all my visits not to witness it. At least the mayflies are quiet, when the cicadas arrive it will sound like a alarm clock going off 24/7.

  8. Cincinnati is expecting the 17yr brood X cicada invasion mid May. Experts predict 5 BILLION of the bugs. Ought to make for some interesting cache logs. I remember as kids playing baseball with them. One would stand ready with a wiffle ball bat while another would shake a nearby tree. Whoever hit one over a marked line would score a run. How do you plan to deal with these pests?

  9. I started doing our 03 taxes this weekend and realized I was a few deductions short of getting a big check. I was wondering if I could get away with deducting the cost of GPS, PDA, computer, internet connection, gas, car mileage, containers and swag as a medical deduction(mental health)? What do you think? :mad:
