  1. I got my ticket in December and the main reason I did was on a caching trip on the AVT's I crashed and burned, the result of the crash was a shattered left wrist, I was in extream pain and 30 miles from the trucks, the disission was made to call Life Flight because I really didn't know if I had other problems and I wasn't really looking forward to riding 30 miles to the truck not to mention I wasn't feeling well at all, to make a long story short the people with me tried several locations to get out on the cell phones with no luck.

     

    I ended up riding out which was not a plesent ride, 7 hours after the crash I walked into the ER and the very next day I was in the operating room getting my arm put back together.

     

    A few days later I was talking to a local Ham operator and we figured out I could have hit at least 3 repeaters from the crash site.

     

    The rest is history, I soon had my ticket and have been wondering why I haden't done that before, I've been having a blast and am working on my upgrade.

     

    Get your ticket, take it from me you never know when something is going to happen.

  2. I haven't had much luck getting ahold of the IRLP node owners around here so I talked to VE7WCC last night on Echolink, I will be able to hear the net on his Echolink node 243326 but that's all I will be able to do.

     

    So if you would put me down as an earily check in I'll be listening, I'll get this figured out yet.

     

    Thanks alot.

  3. I found your cache the same day it was moved, like I said in my log the board that is on the fence was put their by kids to cross, how do I know this, I watched some kids do it.

     

    The cache is a great cache get it back on line and don't worry about it getting moved, you'll find people do that, I've had caches moved to the point I couldn't even find them.

     

    One thing you might do is add the coords. to the parking area, that might help.

     

    Again don't let one person spoil your fun, it's a great cache, now get out there and hide some more.

  4. Well I was hoping to stay out of this thread but now I have to join in...Oh I've fallen and got brused up but last weekend put the iceing on the cake or should I say the cast on the arm...

     

    There were 8 of us out riding ATV's and Geocaching and having a very good day until the dreaded moment...now keep in mind I have only 2 speeds when riding...stopped and full throttle...we were on our way to the next cache when it happened...I picked the wrong line around a corner, hooked my left front tire in a rut and the rodeo was on, I didn't make the 8 second ride...as soon as everything came to a stop I knew I was hurt I just didn't know how bad...

     

    About 5 hours later I arrived at the ER...after getting my riding stuff off they took me into xray and gave me something for the pain (thank god) then came the news...now all this time I was thinking a broken arm but no I have to do things right...I had shattered my wrist...

     

    I had emergency surgery on Monday and now have a Titanium plate and 8 screws holding my wrist together...

     

    It could have been alot worse and what really makes me mad is I'm 46 years old and until now I have never broken anything or had any type of surgery...

     

    Maybe I need to slow down a bit...Naaaaaaa

  5. I agree that Johnnie Lacy has a great method of distributing his limited number of coins. ...

    I think I'll be implementing that method on about 10 or so Idaho - 2005 coins that I have. The goal isn't so much to stop them from showing up on eBay but to make sure that all local cachers have a shot at finding one, and not the usual suspects who all have coins.

    You still have those coins?...I can't believe it...you were given those extra coins to give out at events and such I see that hasen't happened...it makes me sorry that those extra coins were even given to you to hand out in the first place... :santa:
