Hmmm...wondering what I did to end up here?
When I say "vine-ripened ladies" can't you see that it means at the point of perfection; you know, sweet and full-flavored, a vision of loveliness as a verdant mountain meadow caressed with morning's dew, and ...uhm ... whatever?You ever notice that whenever he gets himself into a hole, ol' Harmon grabs a shovel and starts digging?
But wait, there's more ...
What did I do? Denice hasn't seen the "ol" comment yet...Wonder if Jodi has seen it yet?
LLOT I thought you were discovering you're inner Renaissance with the blacksmith course.
As far as Jim, I have no idea....
Actually you hit the nail on the head, so to speak, but it's a rather
difficult thing to explain. Stay with me on this ....
First of all I've been reading many of the old literary classics since
buying an Amazon Kindle, something like twenty-six books since
mid-December last, and once seeing the image above I thought that it
captured the essence of European peasantry as depicted in those old
classics such as Great Expectations, Crime and Punishment,
Les Miserables, War and Peace, and others.
Well then, one day while Geocaching I learned that James of LLOT fame
had much to do with development of the Amazon Kindle. So when I first
viewed the image above ... noting European peasantry, the Kindle, the
classics, and thus by association James of Kindle Whispernet-chip fame
the idea of altering the image clicked. I kid you not!
You can surely see how it all ties in ... like a spock mind-meld, yes?
So it was an easy leap on my part to realize that adding James's face
to the image would serve as a subtle, though obscure, tribute to my pal
James.
That leaves the matter of associating Jim of KWVERS! with the image and
with the literary classics. To me that's much too obvious to dwell upon
so I leave it to your imagination.
Finally, to remove all doubt about the authenticity of the tale as told
above I am in a position to say that it is entirely true in every detail
because I made it up myself.
Not to worry ... really, I'm O.K., honest I am.
Note to Self: Probably shouldn't mention that my granddaughter is the world's shortest blacksmith.

Here's the hot scoop from the
snake-bite victim, rscaensd.
Apparently he's well enough now to look after log
entries from that dreadful day. How delightful is
that? ... and think of the incomparable story he
has to tell.
Turns out that the snake encounter happened in the
West Hills Geocaching area rather than MTRP, and
quite near the discarded electric cook-stove wherein
the Jahoadi and John hide named "Cook it Yourself
Harmon" is located.
How delightful it is to know that the poor victim
is recovering well. One hopes for more detail about
the encounter.
Basic rule for snake avoidance ... watch your step,
each and every one of them while on the trail.
Today's weather was cool at Sweetwater Resevoir...We were sure that the snakes would be inside but what do ya know...I came within 4 feet of a rattler stretched out across a rock only 7 feet from a cache...I moved the snake with my walking stick and boy howdy did that snake get mad!!! At first the snake didn't look too big but when it started winding up it seemed that the snake would never end coiling up...It rattled a good ten minutes and put on quite a show...we got a picture of it and it can be seen in our gallery..first one that we have seen this season!

Very sad news to report....
GRUBERT, CARL ERNEST 1942 to 2011 Born in Illinois. Family moved to San Diego in 1949 where Carl remained until his death. He married Stella Elena in 1964. Two children were born of their union. Carl served proudly in the military. He worked over 33 years for Pac Bell, never missing a day of work due to illness, and completed his college education during that time. Carl started at Pac Bell as a linesman and worked his way up to engineer, while going to school and raising a family. Carl was a fitness fanatic before a "healthy life style" became popular. He was known for his incredible endurance in running, biking, hiking, fishing, and geocaching, etc. Anything that involved physical activity. Carl just finished his last marathon, crossing the finish line in Heaven. Carl is survived by his beloved wife, Stella; son, Carl (Ashley); daughter, Laura (Jim); sister, Carleen (George), and two grandchildren, Joseph Street and Ariel Grubert, and large extended family. Memorial services will be held on March 26, 2011 at Del Cerro Baptist Church, 5512 Pennsylvania Lane, La Mesa, California, beginning at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of floral arrangements, please send donations to the American Cancer Society or the American Diabetes Association .
He was a super nice guy full of energy. Rest in peace, Carl.
We had met Carl when we first started geocaching...He respectfully beat us to one of our first FTF attempts...There he was bent over looking in the bushes...Up he stood and his smile captivated us....We didn't participate in the MTRP war games but watched in awe as he and others out did one another....The cache hidden in the storm drain under Navajo had his name on it....We will miss him for a short time...So glad that his finish line was victorious!

Congrats Champs!
WooooHooooooooo!!!
Good gosh, those two need adult supervision.
You know what kills me? Were Denice logged that
"...our found caches in San Bernardino County
already exceeded 2,000 ..."
Lemme see: 21,653/5,201 = 0.24 ... now I've
slipped below 25% of their find count. I'm
gonna go lay down a while and think about this
because surely there's at least one Geocaching
statistic where I'm ahead of those KWVERS!
rascals.
Wait, what about total Forum posts? Since the
crowd has defected to FaceBook then surely I'm
way out front in Geocaching Forum posts but I
notice that Forum posts don't seem to count
congratulations-wise.
That's O.K., don't worry about me, I'll be fine.
I don't need no stinkin' congratulations.

Holy Smoke!! The kwvers! just hit 20,000!!! Wow!! Congrats!!
WoooooHoooooooooo!!!!
AWESOME!!! Congrats to you both!
Okay ... well, all I can say is ... it's about time, you energizer bunnies! I was expecting you to get there alot quicker! I'm thinking the NEXT 10K caches will come MUCH sooner now that you've finally gotten into your groove. Conga rats on 20K!
boysnbarrie
20 grand WOW !
Say, Bill and Linda Gates and a bunch of other billionaires have pledged
half their riches to needy causes. I can imagine that such a pledge is
rewarding in a number of ways such as living one's life in a state of
eternal grace. Such is my wish for Jim and Denice of Kwvers! fame.
That said, Jim and Denice, I pledge to accept one-half of your Geocaching
find-count as a means of assuring that you won't have to wait in line at
the Golden Gate when once you are called home to that glorious Geocache
in the sky.
Your welcome,
Harmon

Note to Self: Oboy! Oboy! my ship is finally coming in.
Ya made us smile! We seek and find! One more river to cross...one more mountain to climb!
Would that be a "Yes" to my request?
Sure Harmon...You can have half of our total cache finds when we have gone 'Home"....Thanks for the pic..

Great choice for a milestone cache, especially right before Christmas! Congratulations, Silver Horde!!! We have been out of town for the last 3 months or so and have not been up to date on all the congratulations that are due to our fellow San Diego caching community. It is heartening to see the pats on the back and encouragement that has been given...300,3000,5000,17000...the adventures continue to grow...We have alot of catching up to do and can't wait to go where most of you have already been...We are looking forward to reconnecting with you all...kwvers!

Thanks Barrie for tellin' me the new card was out.
We were out most of the day and stopped by on our way home.
Picked up a pair for TheHikingMonk's family (THM, TIM, SNF, MM, MD, TI, TSP, SB, and baby...can't remember his name right now) to share.
Got a set for Boysnbarrie (who was busy packing for a trip) and one to mail to kwver's since they're out of town for awhile.
AWESOME JOB on the design layout, etc.
We are sooooo happy that Sue and Pat have their own Yrium card!!! We just love both of them! Can't wait to get home and get re-acquainted..thanks Linda for grabbing us a set...we miss everybody and hope to return sometime in December
