Let's Look Over Thayer

This Just In... Honk if you know where this is...

Wait a minute! Who gave permission for Harmon to slip away to Italy...????

Doubly tragic. Not only for the loss of a close friend but also that the science community lost what would have been, I expect, the definitive work on the ocular effects of donuts. Belated condolences.

Will wonders never cease! It never would have occurred to me that our dear old Harmon would turn out to be a contributer to an imminent refereed scientific journal of the caliber of the JIR. For those who have never heard of it, this is the journal that published such seminal articles as "Buttock-Dimpling in Middle-Aged Women: A Cross Cultural Study" and "Patterns of Limb Retention in Hellanic Statuary". (Though, come to think of it, this might explain where Harmon gets inspiration for some of his artistic works.) Some may remember the JIR for its controversial stance on Global Sinking caused by the continued storage of copies of the National Geographic maqazine in basements and garages throughout the world. But then again, that guy on the billboard does look kind of like someone that would submit articles to refereed scientific journals. I guess I was thrown off by the suit covering up the pocket protector and slide rule. To those who might point out that "James, you seem to know an awful lot about this Journal of Irreproducible Results. How do we know you aren't an egghead too?", I would respond that I only subscribed to the JIR for the pictures.

Now THAT really made me laugh!!! Great picture of yourself, Harmon!! And it doesn't make anyone's butt look big or anything!!! Yes, but where are the bagel goggles? Bagels!! Aren't those donuts?!? Counselor, you are correct. Upon a review of the photographic evidence, they are, in fact, donut goggles. Objection sustained. I shall rephrase my question. Yes, but where are the donut goggles?

Your posts were not deleted. They were never here. They were (and still are) over there, in that "other" forum (the "Face" one...) Funny about this ... I've been spending a lot of my spare time developing an antidote for Facebook Addiction Disease (FAD). As you can see Facebook mind-control has already affected outlying areas of our county such as Ramona. Worse yet many of our city Geocachers have started behaving as though they were raised on a farm. (See photo of Denice above.) Too many blue screens and pink slips. Guess my mind got away from me. Hope I didn't give ol Harmon a new idea .... Right, and here's what I'm going to call my antidote to Facebook, Buttbook. It's going to be social network for people you can't stand. See ... y' won't have t' "Like" everythang and instead of hundreds of so-called Friends you'll have a jillion Jerks t' insult. Shoot, I'll even throw in a "Dislike" button. I'm close on this ... havng a little problem finding advertisers. Ah, hah! The world's first anti-social network...

This just in...

Blimey! This guy looks a little lost...

Hmmm...where could that be...? (KY, indeed...why I oughta...)

Pat...you are too Funny...but I don't have SNAGIT so how do I show you my results...which I don't think are good.... http://www.speedtest.net/result/944698862.png test Holy Mackerel! ... 0.66 Mb/s download speed, you call that a result? Make it seem better, call it 660 Kb/s. Honestly, I feel your pain. Here's Plan A: When you are holdin' the tin can up to your computer make sure that you keep th' strang taught; otherwise your bits will be all mushy. Mushy bits are a bad thang, technically-speaking wise. Plan B: This plan depends on you having an actual telephone line. If so use the "Check Availability" button at the link below to see if AT&T DSL Internet service is an option for you. If no phone line then maybe AT&T DSL Direct. AT&T DSL Service Plan C: Shoot girl, you live right under a mountain that has antennas sprouting from th' summit. Have John run a coax up top and patch into one of the Internet systems. Plan D: Next time John deploys pack up and go with him. Shoot, the've got decent Internet service on th' boat. Harmon...Plan A and C are the only feasible ones because those results were AT&T DSL !! [:0] John's ship can't even get GC.com since they started adding so many advertisements to the pages. I tried Plan A and it works ok since I only type with one hand so I can hold the tin can with the other. Plan C has me interested: How many feet of cable do you think it would take? Trouble is the rabbits eat everything out here unless it's buried so I bet that cable wouldn't last long . Do you think we could hold an event and get some help stringing that cable? Rumor has it there's a cache at the top..or very close to it. Can you imagine what life would be like if Jodi had good internet? Plan E: IP Over Avian Carriers (IPoAC) IP are the Internet Protocols and Avian Carriers are birds (specifically Carrier Pigeons). The round-trip packet times are probably not going to be great, but the raw bandwidth of a few carrier pigeons outfitted with microSD memory cards is at least 25 times the speed DSL or 5-10 times the speed of CableModem. Data errors due to coyote might be a problem but that can be addressed by using redundant birds (those of us in the telecom industry would call it "carrier diversity"). Frankly, I'm surprised that Harmon didn't think of this...

I tend to agree. I rode in the FJ this morning up the Pine Creek road (with John driving) and had the opportunity to test those floorboards for myself...

FisnJack is learning to post images on Forum threads. So far my instructions haven't paid off for him but he's real close. Might be a case of too much information. Worst case I'll drive down to his place and spank him until he's got it figured out. A spanking, a spanking, there's going to be a spanking tonight!!!!! ...and after the spanking.... the Oral Sex!! Or maybe not...

Yes, it is true -- and I am sufficiently secure in my gender identity that I am not afraid to admit it. ...says the man who drives one...

On the downside, you'll be deprived of the use of your Nuvi for a couple of weeks. I've got one of the affected units. I've printed out the RMA shipping label, but haven't sent it back yet. So if you see a flaming Prius, it might be me...

I suppose I could have, but it was already tough enough removing Jody from that picture. I even considered leaving her in the shot -- the two of them actually looked kind of cute snuggled up together on top of that mulch. But I didn't need any trouble from John...or from Harmon's Sweet Bride.

Backseat... Doesn't Jodi drive a pick-em-up truck? Yes..and this is where Jack is suppose to insert a photshop picture of Harmon bungee cord tied to that pile of mulch! Seems like the new guy hasn't gotten around to this yet, so I thought I'd help out... Jody, I'm thinkin' ya might want to use more than one bungee...there are fines for unsecured loads and all that...

That was a fun day! I still remember the guy who said "You're not going to drive the Crossover Trail in that, are you?" (pointing to our Subi Outback). His final words were, "I don't think you're going to make it..." He was wrong (we did make it) but not by much! If the car had been just little longer, we would have been hung up by the bumpers... It's too far out to know if we are going to make it next year, but we'll put it on the calendar!

Of course, it's none of my business, but I can't help wondering what his grades were...

Duplicate post. Tried to remove it last night, but the same lack of response that lead to the duplicate post also prevented its removal.

Another chipmunk...

Spotted this Marmot as we were leaving Animas Forks (nearby caches were Rocket Boys, Animas Forks and Frisco Mill Building)
