A & J Tooling

I'd test it out on my wife's computer. That way if anything bad happens, all is good.

If I found a 22, I'd turn it in to one of those gun drives where they give you $50 for every weapon turned in. A 22 ain't a gun. Now, if I found a 44, that, I'd have fun with.

How would it alienate anyone? There are thread topics on this forum that concern me but they don't alienate me.

I didn't see a zillion DNF's on the caches you found. Whats up?

I haven't hid any caches yet but when I do (gotta' find my 100 1st), I hope no one posts a picture. Gotta' find it to see it. I've been busy building them.....

Me and the kids came across a cache recently. It was soaked from the winter. It was in a place kids of all ages could find. It was in really bad shape. While my son and daughter looked through the toys, I dried out the container and placed anything salvagable in baggies. My kids each left something better then they took. 1 each even though they each had 20 tradeable items. Then we gathered up the soaked pokemon cards and took them home. My son placed them in the backyard to dry. We ironed them out afterwards. The ones we couldn't save, my son replaced with his own. They are now near the door so when we return we can re-stock the cache with all the cards that were lost due to the spring runoff. I put a little bit of pool filter thread grease along the seal of the container to help it stay water-tight. I also will be leaving a note for the owner on how better to prepare the container. The owner is a classroom of kids at the local school. When found, the container was half full of swag. It is now packed full. Don't label all of us parents as being lazy. Or our kids either.

They should have a stickied thread near the top of the forum with pictures of all the 'incidents' that happen. That last picture would make most people think twice before putting their hand into places it might make more sense to stay away from.

Do you really want that to happen to a kid? Most likely, it's a kid. Now an adult....

Hiding something that looks like trash in a trash pile isn't camo. It's lazy. Hiding something that looks like trash in the middle of pristine woods and having problems finding it, that is a good camo'ed cache. I pick up any trash between the cache and my car that'll fit in the trunk. If your 'camo'ed' cache dissappears, try looking in my landfill.

Had a pine tree branch gouge the top of my head last week as I bent over to examine something. Then stepped on a broken beer bottle and it cut the side of my foot. Both within ten minutes of each other. Worst part was, the cache was exactly where I gashed my head but the pain and anger at myself made me focus my attention elsewhere. At least I snapped that branch off so no one else has to do the same thing.

Not all cachers have the money to purchase nice pretty containers but must use what is at hand. But, if it looks like trash, I'm throwing trash away and not looking to see if it contains a cache.

Ever see a claymore mine? It has the words "Front Towards Enemy" for a reason. Stupid is not just a terrorist trait.

There are quite a few descriptions on different ammo containers that could cause a reporter or rent-a-cop to freak out. That's why you should always remove (not paint over) the info on one. The story did state however, that the word was hand written on there which most likely means, some kid found it and did it as a joke.

Just hold the lit end of your cigar to their butt while they're sucking on your blood. It'll teach those critters!

My wife is always trying to get me to drink some. I keep telling her I get plenty in my coffee but she insists that isn't good enough. Should I worry? Should I check on my life insurance? Inquiring minds need to know.

Yes, it is spam. I was redirected to another site that I didn't want anything to do with. That is spam. When I recently e-mailed the HQ and went to respond how I was treated by whomever answered my e-mail, it sent me there again. Spam.

Lead by example. People won't change unless they're willing to change.

Well....It is for ME! Bear with me, I have a friggin' HUGE ego and delusions of grandeur. Really? I just read your info page and now my mind is all aboggled. Think I need some fresh air... As a result of reading a few key phrases contained within, the dormant nanites that are in your bloodstream (thanks to my secret monopoly of food additive supply plants) have now become active. That "aboggled" feeling is just the nanites eating most of the voluntary portions of your brain and reassiging your logic centers to Snoogancentric thinking and worship. Soon the fillings in your teeth will begin to pick up my control frequency and you'll receive further instructions. Roger that, Sir. Everything but the fillings. I had something happen during my active duty time that pretty much removed most of my teeth. No fillings left for the freq's to be received. Awaiting further instructions.

I'm way to new also but when you're #1, there is only one place to go. Down. I like this place and all but I'm willing to bet, sooner or later, they'll sell out and it'll go down. Then the people in position to take on the job will step forward and fulfill the prophesy....

So, you receive the e-mail and post your response. If you click on the choices that you noticed the changes it advances you to another question. If you click on the answer 'I didn't notice any change', it takes you to a spam webpage offering you free money for taking surveys. I guess everyone needs to make money but spam really sucks. Oh well, it gave me the option to not take any more surveys or get spammed to death. Great choices.

Don't like the way we play so you're taking your toys and going home? Either adapt/adjust or get out of the way. Change is the only constant in life.

Mention the business it'll bring their way. Whenever I'm hitting up cache's and stop and purchase something in the area, I always mention what brought me there. I'm surprised more store owners haven't hopped on the band wagon. Land owners are another story. Always be honest. Helps if you know them. Helps even more if you are them.

Brass threads, soft metal, will leak. Plus anyone attempting to put on might cross thread or strip it out. Other then that, as long as it ain't near an electrical box, go for it.

But those are the fun ones to find. All those dnfs. Enjoy the challenge.
