  1. Bonus. Much appreciated! is there a time frame on that Clyde? and as I have joked in the past - this thread is getting long time for an update <grin>... cc\
  2. he's right - it's your browser - but could be your provider (like MSN) I think he means FireFox work around - right click on the link and select save as... cc\
  3. funny how the times mark us - I thought the same thing ... weird! cc\

  10. he mentioned how above - I use cheap $1 a tube clear caulking compound to do similar things - cc\
  11. OSH - several "Primer" colors that are flat - I use them on all my caches - cc\
  12. THE DOLLAR STORE! Lock n Lock - $1.00 I just bought 20 more today! They finally got some more in. Log books - 6 for #0.69 at McFrugals Spiral 60- sheets - nice little logs books A few hours spent sanding and painting Paint - Orchard Hardware (OSH) About $1.50 a can Swag - well I get a lot of my swag free -- neat stuff too but I also haunt the Dollar Store for some great swag sometimes I even get 2 or 3 items for $1.00 they do have some neat stuff in the computer electronics section LED flashlight - BRIGHT! Carabiner and survival Whistle (that's a 2for) Today I grabbed a couple neat digital clocks several sized of calculators - from mini key chain to large watches we did a pet cache with a lot of neat pet stuff wife did a kitchen cache pens 10 for $1.00 check out Oriental Trading Company for some nice stuff - most of the stuff I buy is $3-5 per dozen. Order a printed catalog so you can thumb through all their stuff. so you see it does not have to cost quite as much as you say - but I do agree that it can easily add up really fast. cc\
  13. Micro spew? Should we add that to the cacher's dictionary? ya I love it!!! ya gotta watch out for that micro spew will get you every time - micros are great - but not in a 4000 acre park. cc\
  14. Well written - and had to laugh at your last thought - sounds like something my wife would say "His rant - not mine!" cool photo snoogans - Keystone - well written also -- while I surely do NOT have a paucity of caches around here - man I can't even get all 500 limit in a PQ at 10 miles - I do feel for your frustration. One of the problems around here are micros in large park areas. Seems a waste to me but that is just one of the issues people have in this game, and you are not unique to the problem you voice either. But as was said a couple times, you can't control what other people do so try not to get upset about what they do and don't. Hard to do I know - been there done that - but I try. Something no one noted - there is no rule that says you have to hide caches. But I have to agree - if'n you play you aughta pay too. There were very few caches close to me when I started - I started putting out caches and they came - now I put out harder caches - series and puzzles - but there are more people playing and they started hiding caches too. Don't let others dictate your enjoyment. I do find it interesting that no one has take your give away cache - neat idea. In some of my early caches I gave away a small cache as a FTF prize - just the container though. A free stocked and logged cache! I'll take it! I liked Johnie's idea too. hang in there - cc\
  15. unless I am mistaken here, I believe what you are really asking for is a USB to serial adapter - yes? You will be pluggging it in at the computer end with a USB plug? And at the other end the GPS has a serial connector? Radio Shack sells one also. One of the biggest things to be careful of when using one with a GPS is to NOT use a hub. Plug it directly into your computer. is $40 but works well for me. http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cata...uct%5Fid=26-183 cc\
  16. OK - no fair!!! Awesome - now you gotta tell us how you did it!! cc\

    Ports

    try a couple of these threads - where I gave some help - http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...dpost&p=1423844 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=84485 there is a lot of info here that should be helpful - I have an HP laptop with USB adapter also - so I know what the problems are - check out what ports are available - usually will be COM 3 or 4 maybe even 5 as mine is. cc\
  18. check these threads - http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=84485 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...0entry1423844 cc\
  19. Favorite cache to date? well do you mean favorite hidden or found? Personally I prefer to date the ladies. cc\
  20. I didn't know all those little digitals got sick??? cc\
  21. you beat me to my edit - look up keystone - cc\
  22. sort of surprised the above two guys didn't give you the easy fix - right click on the link and select save as or save target as - at least it used to be - may depend on your browser - but that's why we have a forum - we all can't think of everything all the time. cc\
  23. I did mine in Word - used my avatar on std mailing labels as they are large enough and cheapest. cc\
  24. Actually, you can see your own logs without going to each cache page. Go to this page, and click on any of the bold dates in the calendar. This will bring up the logs you entered on that day. well I'll be darn - never knew it was there - and I see I am not the only one learning here! tnx - cc\
