    First Day Of Class

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    If the reverse happened and one of my students did that I would likely faint! Well, no, but I would be excited. Normally when I mention caching they stare at me blankly with a look that says "what kind of weirdo did we get for a teacher?" :o

    man you sound like a awesome teacher...What do you teach and where????????? I need to go back to school because I have taken way too much time off...Ahhhhh...I still need my AA in something..................AHHHHHH! I hate being lazy.......SCHOOL NOW PAT SCHOOL NOW!! LOL sorry, I am hyping myself here!!

    Downgrade 60cs Firmware

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I tryed the lock up tips and yep it locks up doing recalc on/off road...I sure hope they fix this....Should I go do a master reset?????

     

    Delay

    A master-reset won't change anything,since this is a firmware bug...

    The only thing we can do is wait for 3.80 to arrive and,untill then,use the "recent found" function!

     

    (how do you like your 60cs so far??)

    I am lovin it...Its so fun to play around with...I still cant get a waas lock but thats ok...Anyway see ya!

    Ive got a yellow lab..She is a great dog, but stupid as all heck..I wish I could take her caching, but we cant even take her outside without a leash because she likes to explore a little too much....She is just a dumb blond(no offense to anyone)...we have tryed everything but no luck.....She loves to swim and will jump in the pool even if its raining out...I have a video that I need to send into AFV where she is in the pool and I tell her to get out and she totally says NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Its great...Some day she will learn..I hope soon...LOL

    Map Ref. 41 Degrees North 93 Degrees West - By Wire

    Ah yes, Very good album...I always thought the singer sounded like syd barret...'

    I was thinking more on the lines of actually caches...putting them as titles and the album would be called something like cache or hidden or something.....

    A Geocaching Album

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    yes this is a thought, but what would you guys(gals) think of a geocaching related album? with I mean music that is....Song titles related to geocaching...My band is very open..I mean very open..and numbers and stuff wouldnt bother us...Not like we sell any Cd's, we mostly just give them out, but wouldnt it be cool if one of those regular people decided, "hey what are these numbers?" and looked them up on the net??? I don't know i'm thinking of new ways......Really the general public isnt going to know what all those numbers mean...Let me know what you all think....

    What Activity Has Geocaching Replaced

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I have a 75 Blazer rusting in my backyard.  When I saved up enough money to buy some of the parts I needed I discovered geoaching.  Then the choice was "Fix the rig or buy a GPS".  The Blazer is still rusting.  I should put it up on blocks in my front yard as a redneck monument.  Most people see a rust bucket but I see Flint Michigan produced art.

    Place some chicken wire over the front windows, build you a pass through door (doggie door without the flap) to replace the tailgate glass, and throw in a couple of opened bales of hay and VOILA' - Instant chicken farmer!! :D

     

    :D:D

     

    Tickbait

    Inactivity.

     

    That's one of my main incentives!

     

    Like Tickbait I smoked for years.

    I quit at age 26 :D when I had a heart attack. I was huffing 2.5 packs a day!! :(

     

    After recovering and going through all my rehab I have been able to stay smoke-free ever since.

    That was almost 14 years ago, but unfortunately I compensated for not having the nicotine with food. Which now has become almost as dangerous.

     

    My bro-in-law invited me to go out on my first hunt with him back in January.

    I quickly realized that my excess 185lbs :ph34r: (yep you read that right!!) was about to put me down. I'm a big guy already , but that put me at 5lbs shy if 400lbs! :D:D

     

    I didn't even get half way to a .5 mile flat sidewalk hike before I was completely out of breath and had to stop and rest for about 15 minutes before I could continue. Then had to rest at the hide and then again on the way back to the truck.

    What should have been a quick in and out, took me over an hour!! :huh::D:(

     

    I made up my mind I was going to get back in shape and loose this weight!!

     

    20 lbs lighter and up to the ability to handle an easy 2 mile walk, means I'm on my way.

     

    All because of Geocaching.

     

    When you go to the first results page for the caches closest to my home co-ords, all of them are found except for one that is number three on my list.

    It is only about 4 miles from my back door.

    But it is inaccessible to me.

    :D:D

    It is a pretty severe hike to get to it, since it is on top of a mountain.

    The parking spot to where you enter the trailhead is at approximately 850ft, the cache itself is about .70 miles away, BUT at around 1700 ft.. :D

     

    I could hit the ignore cache button to remove the cache from showing up but I'm not.

     

    THIS IS MY GOAL!!

    To one day be able to find that cache!!

    It's a long way off, but to quote the country group Alabama, "One day I'm gonna climb that mountain, mountain, mountain!!" :D

     

    :D:D:D

     

    D-man B)

    dude, thats freaky..I smoke maybe 10 cigs a day and at least a pack a day on the weekends..Ok I need to stop now!!! i'm 25.....................

    Garmin Firmware Update

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I was sorta hoping that someway, somehow, my USB connectivity would work after this upgrade. Durn....

     

    Have read the troubleshooting FAQs at the Garmin site, have dug all over on this site. Have reloaded USB Garmin drivers so many times. The computer will always reward me with the "Unrecognizeable USB device" error. Device manager sees the Garmin USB driver but with an error flag on it: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".

     

    Soooo, I was just hoping that this upgrade would fix all of this even though USB was not listed in the fix chart. Ah well. The old slow serial cable works just fine.

    Do you have a USB 2.0 and a regular USB port on your computer? Maybe you are using the USB 2.0 instead of just the USB one...Don't know though...
