  1. I don't care if the government gets my info. It's those d**** advertisers & spammers I want to keep away from my info. Gutter-guard has first amendment rights my big ol' hairy but!
  2. There's gold in my teeth and silver in my hair!!! Geocaching to me is not about the find but the HUNT!! I'm making great memories with my kids and seeing areas we never knew existed until we finally got off the couch and went hiking.. Add to that the lead in my butt & we might be worth recycling!
  3. Virtual, Locationless, Multi-stage, & snatch & run single. I don't care, I like them all.
  4. I have an unfair advantyage in that I have the GPS & my wife's bladder to show the location of the cache. More she has to go, closer we are.
  5. Just tried to download a GPX file and somehow it triggered a virus warning from yahoo's bilt in scan. "Octet Application" was the only notice I got. Anyone else seen this & know a work around? Don't say get a real ISP. Not an option at this time. Usefull suggestions welcome, get a beer & give the GPS a day off NOT useful, except for he beer part, and I got that covered already.
  6. Since the government has their software & IP addy's, technically speaking they can do anything they want. Deteriorate the signal in certain areas, throw it off by any distance they want, or plain 'ol block the civilian reception. Or bring the satellites down. Buuut since it is an international resource, hopefully they won't.
  7. We have plans to do so. 1. Win lottery. 2. Sell house, buy RV & Motorcycle. Sell Ford Escort. 3. Cache our aches off. We recently sold the house but intill we get the right 6 numbers, we're kinda stuck with that step.
  8. I don't like green peppers or raisins in my lightbulbs or coleslaw.
  9. I prefer the yellow lightbulbs to blacklight.
  10. While a lot of general reatail or hobby stores do sell spray on adhesive, I once made a similar effect on a basket ball in HS using a sheet of cheese cloth with a layer of dirt in between the ball & the cloth. Had good water storage in the soil so it only needed weekly watering. One thing was when I planted the seed by mixing in the dirt, only the top half would grow. So first I had to let the top half establish, then plant the bottom half in 2 quarters by pushing the seed through the cheese cloth. Rotating the ball daily so it all got some sun/rain, it lived for 2 years using "Chewing Fescue" grass seed. Last time I saw it it was alive and well in a gully in the woods. Course that was 20 some odd years ago. Doubt it's so well today. "Hoooooney! You have to go & mow the cache today!!!"
  11. Eeeeevil like This one. Covers the whole city of Charlotte.
  12. Personally, I feel that slapping them, fore or backhand would not do anything to solve the situation. I'd whak 'em with my hiking stick.
  13. Our first two meetings with other geocachers was around 70 something. They were both on thier first try, not sure how to average that out. Me and the wife always go together. That's one of the draws to the sport for us. Time alone together, we went on a "Cache Machine" event one time, those folks were way too fast for us. Most of them were either long time outdoorsfolk, or had a solid background in hiking etc. before geocaching, we're a couple of desk jockeys. Frankly in poor physical shape. I've lost a couple of pants sizes thanks to Geocaching, so has the missus, but I think unless it is a BBQ or some other meeting in one spot, it'll be a good while before we do a run with others. We did take one long time friend of ours out with us. Fiasco is the kindest way we could put it. They were wiped out and disgusted with the whole process at the BoJangles.
  14. "Hoooooney, I think I found it but I can't reach it, my arm is too big." I don't know what she uses.
  15. If you do it by hand it needs to be opened with a text editor, like Notepad. If using windows, click once on the LOC file to highlight it. holding down the LEFT shift key, right click on the file. Select OPEN WITH... Select Notepad, Winword, or some other text editor. I do not reccommend using MSWord or any other Rich Text Formating editor. They say this universe is bound to blow, I say we crank up the Calypso Control! ~Jimmy Buffett ~Someday I Will~

  17. Yup. Open it as a text file, copy everything from the left angle bracket at WAYPOINT to the right angle bracket at /WAYPOINT. Paste same between the last waypoint right angle bracket, and the left angle bracket of /LOC.

  18. Not I, but I was in the army, that's kinda the same. They say this universe is bound to blow, I say we crank up the Calypso Control! ~Jimmy Buffett ~Someday I Will~
  19. Be sure to tune in for chapter 15: I'm supposed to poop WHERE???? They say this universe is bound to blow, I say we crank up the Calypso Control! ~Jimmy Buffett ~Someday I Will~
  20. Mine has a timeless simplicity that can't be beat. They say this universe is bound to blow, I say we crank up the Calypso Control! ~Jimmy Buffett ~Someday I Will~
