  1. Saw this issue discussed in a regional forum: Members there sugested a double circuit of plain old Scotch double stick tape, or E6000 clear adhesive (found at the hobby shop) and it worked for awhile (two months).
  2. http://thehunt.volvocars.net/us/thehunt It's real. I may have to stop by a dealer to get a code this weekend. see link below... The Hunt
  3. 8 days in a row is the best I could do so far. I have been thinking of trying to get a full month, every day, completed.
  4. Came across a Rat Snake yesterday in Crowley, TX. I must have stepped over it, and as I turned looking for possible cashe hiding spots, there it was, head sticking out of the long grass onto the path. Also, saw a few Water Moccasins getting to an Island cache over the weekend. Good thing I found the cache first, or that trip would have been aborted at the sight of the first one. Lets be careful out there.
  5. I have a sony SJ-22 that has worked great for me. It is rechargable. I highly recommend going the rechargable route. My wife had one that ran on AAA. Ate through batteries quicker than anything I have seen. These go for about $40.00 on ebay.
  6. Still not working today. I hope it is working by Friday, when I have the day off.
  7. Same thing for me. No caches show up. Only checks where the ones I found should be.
  8. Heard this on the way to work today. Many Thanks to all the Veterans. What Is A Vet As Heard On The Harmon & Heywood Show Veterans Day Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg. Except for parades, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. But You can't tell a vet just by looking. A vet is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Iraq sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the bar-room loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. They are the P-O-W-S who went away one person and came back another. He is the drill instructor who has never seen combat but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into soldiers and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the old guy putting your Mrs bairds Bread in your bag at the supermarket, palsied now and aggravatingly slow..But in his dayt he helped liberate a Nazi death camp and wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He is an ordinary yet an extraordinary human being, a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He or she is a soldier and a savior and nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known. So remember tomorrow at the Vets Day Parade..in the mall..at the grocery store..each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been or were awarded. Two little words that mean a lot, "Thank You"
  9. Still very new at this, but the addiction of cachingis much stronger than the pain of filling up the tank. I figure the cost to cache is still far below the cost of other hobbies like golfing, going to sporting events, or going to the movies. I'm hooked. Gas prices would have to be quite a bit higher to take the fun out of caching.
  10. Looking forward to completing this cache. I am a little concerned that the cache owner or other local cachers might be offended by this locationless activity.
