    Yeah, sure it is. Or was in 1997, when the Terraserver aerial photo was taken. Unfortunately, time marches on:

     

    See the March 14, 2005 Eminence city council minutes:

    Subject: Water Tower Removal Bid – Public Works Director William Smith reported that two bids were received for the old water tower removal. The lowest bid was for $10,600.00 from Iseler Demolition. The other bid was for $13,700.00. Jay Hoffman, who is working with him on the bidding and overseeing the project, has recommended we take the lowest bid. The work will probably be done sometime in April after the company completes a project they are working on in Richmond, KY. Discussion held on how we would pay for this project. City Clerk Doane suggested transferring money from a project item in the water and sewer reserve account, which will not be completed this year to the tank demolition expenditure. Motion made by Member Ferguson and seconded by Member Stephens to accept the lowest bid of $10,600.00 from Iseler Demolition for the water tower demolition and to authorize transferring $10,600.00 from the line item valve replacement project to water tower removal in the water and sewer reserve account budget. All members present voted “Yea”.

  2. Thanks to Holograph for doing the research I didn't think to do

     

    Thanks to Bill93 for making the obvious suggestion that satisfies all parties concerned.

     

    Thanks in advance to cloudyboy for (hopefully) EDITING (changing) all those 'questionable' found logs to notes, to more correctly reflect the actual status of the water tanks.

     

    I think I can speak for most (if not all) of the group in wishing that I (or someone) could take cloudyboy on a serious tour of US water tanks. :D

     

    ;) ok seriously i have now many logs how i can change it to note?

  3. You start planning vacations centered around cache sites.

     

    You begin every weekend day (or any day) with the words "you know what we should do??", sometimes accompanied by eye rolling of family members.

     

    Your family hides your GPS.

     

    Your family hides your GPS and you ask them for the coords (so you can use your backup GPS to 'find' it).

     

    You think DNF is one letter shy of a naughty word.

     

    You like winter (in the midwest) because it means you can get to a cache easier.

     

    You hate winter (in the midwest) because it means you can get to a cache easier.
