The Hubby

Seems to be some male type folks paying a lot of attention to what MY wife is up to. Do I need to break out the Persuader??

Welcome, Matt!!

Hay Greg and Kim, am I invited to this caching trip to? And it not Quantity, it Quality Of course you are! I wouldn't have it any other way!!! Oooops, that was Wolf Grrl accidently posting with my account (again).

ICE CREAM UPDATE!! The official Weather Guessers are saying that it's going to cool off to a chilly 99 degrees for Super Grrl's ice cream social on Saturday. Break out the long john's and come on out...we're going to have a blast! Oh yeah, "patchy smoke" as well...

All I have to say is that no one had better try to pull that 5 minute bathroom rule on me. There are some things that cannot be rushed... We will serve no ____ before its time

ROTFLMAO!!!!! This is by Wolf Grrl...I oopsed and forgot to log in as myself. Too late to bother so I'm just editing it.

I have this vision of Tom standing outside the stall..."4:45, 4:46; Doug, pinch it off man, pinch it off!!"

Probably just an empty soda bottle...no time to stop!! Pee in a bottle You really can find anything online...

You bet there was!! Team Pilot (JPD43, HappyToBeFirst, 2 For the Road, and Photom) departed Merced on 7/5/08 at 03:15 AM and headed south. We started caching near Porterville at 4:45 AM, then headed over to the Yokohl Valley. At the end of the long day, we all had a personal best day ever with 134 finds! Dang...that's a bunch. Congratulations! Can you explain how y'all did it?? Since I know you guys I don't doubt it but if you do the math (24 hours*60 minutes=1440 minutes in a day; 1440 minutes divided by 10 minutes per cache=144 finds in a day). How did you get 134 in what I'm assuming was less than a 24 hour effort?? I'm a simple man and these large numbers frighten and confuse me.

Thanks Greg. I'll tell ya', the best part was spending time with friends. We had a lot of fun and laughs while we searched the Valley. We need to set up a day for you and yours and me and mine to get together and go searching. I could give you some tips if you want... Who am I kidding...everyone knows Wolf Grrl is the secret behind my success...

We now return you to your regularly scheduled CVC Tag!! argument...

The Hubby Nascar Fam Challenge™ is OVER!!! The Hubby: 429 Nascar Fam: 395 Differential: +34 for The Hubby. Veni, vidi, vici I'm sure Nascar Fam will catch me again soon enough but for now I can say that I passed him. I'd like to thank Wolf Grrl, Super Grrl, SB Junky, Sanruft, The Academy... For everyone out there who doesn't know me personally, this was all in fun. Nascar Fam is a buddy and I'm looking forward to caching with him again as soon as possible.

Are those the Sans-a-belt slacks? Maybe you want a black one to go with the black socks and sandals.

When 200 soldiers hold off 6000 for 13 days it's kind of hard to use a word like "whipped." And in this case the loss of a battle may very well have helped win the war. It is possible that the victory at the Alamo made Santa Anna (the Mexican general) overconfident thereby contributing to his defeat and capture at the Battle of San Jacinto. ...because surely you were completely serious and wanted a very brief summation on the significance of the Battle of the Alamo. I am serious...and don't call me Shirley.

Well guess what buddy? I am on the extremely short list to beta test the new Garmin American Samoa. This thing is so far beyond the Colorado that they couldn't even name it after a state, they had to use a territory! An atomic clock to maximize accuracy, ground penetrating radar, sonar, infrared, x-ray, and MRI search technology, a built-in metal detector, plus it makes Slurpees and dispenses bug repellent (not at the same time)!! All in a package that fits in a shirt pocket and comes in seven designer colors AND plaid. Or maybe I'll just keep borrowing Wolf Grrl's Vista...

See post 8672: "NascarFam has quietly thrown the gauntlet (Can you quietly throw a gauntlet? I'm not really sure but in any case that's what's been done!). His profile on geocaching.com now has a litle bouncy, scrolling text thing that reads in part, "My goal is to stay ahead of The Hubby..." It's all in deadly serious good fun... Oh yeah...did a little caching on the way home from work tonight. The numbers now look like: Nascar Fam: 393 The Hubby: 386 Differential:-7 Do you hear footsteps Nascar? That's me coming up fast.

You mess with the bull you get the horns baby!!! Or maybe just bullsh** depending on which end you're messing with...

nm

That's exactly right. And once my numbers are higher than NascarFam's I'll be having even more fun...

"Due to recent posts, the judge has declared that "The Hubby" will NOT be selected for the jury and need not volunteer. " Confiscate the Colorado!! Lock him up and throw away the key!! (then it'll be easier for me to catch him). No, wait, what I meant to say was of course I can be impartial your honor.

Yeah, thinking about these super mega number types is kind of interesting if you do the actual math. Sanruft and I talked through the numbers once. 24 hours in a day is 1440 minutes; if you figure 10 minutes per cache that’s a maximum of 144 in a day. And that’s assuming you can travel between caches, find them, and log them in just 10 minutes. That sure makes some of the 200 a day claims seem a little fishy. Heck, I won’t even claim the caches I found with the lovely Wolf Grrl back before I became an officially registered caching type. Some folks just get way to competitive with this stuff (coming for you Greg!!) P.S. Congrats on the milestone!

We're geocachers; we just make U-turns.

We now interupt your regularly scheduled CVC Tag!! ramblings for the following important announcement: NascarFam has quietly thrown the gauntlet (Can you quietly throw a gauntlet? I'm not really sure but in any case that's what's been done!). His profile on geocaching.com now has a litle bouncy, scrolling text thing that reads in part, "My goal is to stay ahead of The Hubby..." CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!! I've upgraded to premium membership and logged a number of members-only caches that I couldn't previously as well as several that I hadn't gotten around to. As of June 6 it looks something like: NascarFam: 365 The Hubby: 284 Differential: -81 Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war. Oh, by the way Mr. NascarFam, grown men smothered in logos (do they have sponsor logos on their undies? Probably) turning left for three hours isn't a sport, it's just silly.

Another positive vote for Garmin customer service. My wife had a problem with her eTrex Vista (the rubber strip around the unit came unglued). After convincing the Garmin representative that she simply couldn't be without her GPSr (she really does use it daily) they sent her a replacement unit (new, not refurbished) and had her send the original unit back AFTER she received the replacement. Outstanding customer support!

I know I'm going to regret this... Now, I'm no crime scence investigator but I do watch a lot of TV and those sure do look like two different jackets to me. Multiple perps?? (At least they used camo tape)
