Spaceweather This is a great site that will give you information about what is going on with the Sun, sunspots, solar radiation, solar flares, and other things that can kill GPSr performance.

Just got accused of playing "Hide and go Geek"; if the shoe fits. . .

My wife is actually glad that I have found something to do with my time on the weekends; it gets her out of my hair Most of my co-workers are now accusing me of being a geek; but then again, I'm an IT Manager, so what do they expect. As of yet, I haven't gotten any flak.

Troop 10, Roanoke, Virginia - Eagle Scout, OA, 1986. It's amazing what you remember from Scouting. . . forgot how much I enjoyed being out in the woods again.

Yup, I guess I'm a "lurker" too. Not sure if I like that term (lurking is what people do in dark corners before they do something bad to you); I would consider myself an "unobtrusive seeker of knowledge". It's nice to know what the rules of the game are before you play (I hate to go into things blinded). Anyway, I am new to this, and just found out what geocaching was about two weeks ago (a story on MSNBC's web site). I have owned a GPSr for about 2 years; the first month was a blast, I took it everywhere to see where I was going. Then, after the "high" wore off, it has spent, up until 2 weeks ago, most of its life inside a desk drawer. I read the story on MSNBC, and started to look into geocaching. Once I understood what it was (by "lurking" ), I was hooked! I spent the past two weeks researching, and today, logged my first find! It's colder than crap here in NC, and threatening to snow, sleet, and freezing rain, but I had to go out today for that first find. Oh well, back to house painting and other stuff. Just wanted to introduce and say "howdy" to ya'll.
