    Yikes, sorry guys, didn't notice this until today. Yes, there are YCR's in very small numbers again for 2012. In the past, I've just sent these out to clients, friends, etc. This year, I will be making some available as I've got a really big adventure upcoming. I hope to be working on taking pictures this week, so I'll post them when they're done!

    Is there a connection with France that you used a French spelling of memories?

     

    Sandy

     

    Not to France particularly, no, but the French language is the only one I know that has a word with this particular meaning...

     

    Also, after having repeatedly jarred his head on branches, rock outcroppings, computer desks, etc...Chris' true and accurate "memories" may have been inadvertently mixed in with dreams, fantasies, and his secret desire to be a gymnast. Therefore, the word "memoires" is much more accurate as he's had to piece together factual geocoin design information from an entire studio wallpapered with post-its and the various permanent sharpie scribbles on his appendages. I think it's all very accurate, except the part about needing to pick up his dry cleaning last November. Take that blunderous snippet out of the book, and you've got a Pulitzer contender. ;):P

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    Okay all kidding aside, I've had the honor and pleasure of receiving a copy of "Discovered"...and it's brilliant. Chris takes you on start-to-finish journeys with some of his most amazing designs, allowing rare glimpses into the thought processes of one truly gifted artist. It's a wonderful documentary, with touches of wit and humility mixed in with Chris' clever eye for cool design. Regardless if you've got one, or one thousand geocoins in your collection, there's something for any geocoin enthusiast to "discover".

     

    Congratulations, Chris. I mean that sincerely. You've once again "raised the bar", and furthered the evolution of trackables.

    Very sad news re Scavok

    Really sad to hear of this. Partly stunned, partly upset, but mainly proud for having the chance to correspond with him as he put his mark on our hobby. I'm probably not the only one to do this, but I just set one of his coins (a Tengwar) on a stand here and will just keep it in sight for a while. He was not only a good guy, but a talented mind who raised the bar here. My sincere condolences to his family as he's laid to rest today.

    Ooooooh, congratulations! If only I had been on the right continent... :)

     

    Hah...well, you are a LOT closer to the LEGO "home office" than I am. ;)

     

    redwingrr helped us out considerably by braving a long line to get an exclusive promotional set. That was really sweet of her, and I honestly can't thank her enough for her efforts. :) My youngest son has hit an engineering spurt, so I've been on the lookout for hard-to-find creator or architecture sets to satisfy his fascination with building. I can only hope he doesn't discover Minecraft, because building LEGO is more productive than sitting in front of a TV playing video games. :rolleyes:

    Hey there Dave! We'll be all the way over and visiting LegoLand Florida in October - does that count? :rolleyes::anicute::laughing:

     

    (Ya gotta try these things, right? :laughing: )

     

    Counts if you're taking me! Unfortunately, it is only the stores having their Grand Openings that will have the promotional set this time around. :(

     

     

    there are no evil yimes, they're simply misunderstood !

     

    Well, they're not really evil. Just kinda more like...the opposite. ;)

    GEOCOIN TRADING, WANTS, OFFERS AND LISTS

    I’ve got a little different kind of trade/barter offer for geocoiners near (or travelling to) the Vancouver and Milwaukee areas in the next few weeks. I know it’s a longshot, but hey...sometimes geocachers like a seeking challenge, right?

     

    My youngest son and I are big fans of LEGO, and we’re looking to get an upcoming exclusive promotional set. It will only be available on specific dates, and only at the Grand Openings of brand new LEGO stores in Vancouver, BC and Milwaukee, WI. It will also require a $35 purchase at the store, which I will gladly fund!

     

    The dates and locations are:

     

    Saturday, May 5th

    The LEGO® Store

    Oakridge Centre

    650 West 41st Avenue

    Vancouver, BC V5Z 2M9

     

    Saturday, May 12th

    The LEGO® Store

    Mayfair

    2500 North Mayfair Road

    Wauwatosa, WI 53226

     

    Along with funding the required LEGO purchase, I’m offering two very exclusive geocoins. One is the 2011 Compass Rose YemonYime Variant (Yimelight Edition), and the other is...let’s just say...it’s evil twin that has yet to be revealed.

     

    I know it's a longshot given the geographical limitations, but if anyone's interested, please shoot me an e-mail at yemonyime(at)yahoo(dawt)com to discuss?

     

    Thanks!

    Dave (Yime)

    I think that anything that you design is going to be a homerun...... those colors are amazing!

     

    Well, thank you! That's very nice of you to say! Truth is, I haven't done many new designs as of late, but I do have a few brewing for CoinsAndPins' Geo-Achievement series. I'm also working on some really cool designs for MWGB this July.

     

    And as far as the colors, I owe it all to my son liking lemon-lime more than the other flavors in Dairy Queen's freezer. I'm glad he didn't say "chowy" (cherry). :)

    Sincere thanks to whomever sent the No-L mystery coin. Very, very clever. I thought I knew who it was, but we both ended up thinking it was the other. Very nice gesture whoever you are, so THANKS!

    Cointest(s): 2011 Pro Football Survival Leagues

    So who won GCoiners1strike as it looks like 4-5 teams all picked a loser this week? all teams had a 4 week winning streak

     

    It was a wild and wacky week in the world of the NFL, and three of the biggest favorites (Baltimore, Philadelphia and San Diego) got beat...and so those of remaining in the One Strike got the axe all at once!

     

    I'd like to take this opportunity to thank rickctroop13 for running the cointest again this year!
