Trudy & the beast

This topic has come up in the forums here before. There were some interesting comments as I recall, worth making the search. Or, summoning Markwell our Archive specialist. We have noticed a difference in cache contents that corresponds to its age as well. This is unfortunate if you visit a cache late. This hasn't been a big concern for us since we normally TNLNSL. On a couple of occasions, I have removed trash (used golf ball, etc) and left a Sacagawea. You won't find it in our posts. As far as we are concerned, it never happened. TNLNSL - It's the adventure!

The beast raises his thumb to you for placing 20+ caches for us to enjoy, each in our own way. And, the beast raises a leg for those who would raise complaints because a cache does not fit their personal standards of difficulty. I regret that there is no for a raised leg.

Zeolites unite is a truism that refers to the catalytic synthesis of gasoline from grain alcohol. A process invented by the Germans in WWII. Now we know why tequila tastes that way. Now I need to find a new signature line.. perhaps Anthracites burn! Oh, more brain work... my head hurts. Thanks cashew nut for outing me... a closet chemist.

Is that NE PA or NE, PA? How many would know the difference? Rich, You must be older than your Avatar suggests. We havn't had any Schlitz around here since the 70's. No PBR since the 90's. MGD perhaps, but Trudy won't let me have any. Zeolites unite!

quote:Originally posted by Rich in NEPA: One feature I'd love to see is a place to enter the time of my find on the cache log form, in the same manner that the date is entered. No, No, No! Time is the enemy! I don't even wear a watch anymore! Who needs deadlines? Who needs appointments? We need to outlaw time? Get rid of time and then ask your doctor for a prognosis. Take as long as you like. Exams - Time, put your pencil down. Mortgage lender - I'm sorry you have run out of time. What would have happened at OK coral if Noon never came? No. We don't want time. But then, I'm not as young as you. Zeolites unite!

We all have similar experiences. Some of us have invested days, making multiple trips to a cache site without success. If you did not sign the logbook, it is a NF. Virtuals are different. If this was a virtual, and you have satisfied the qualifiers, then you can post a find without signing a log. If you didn't find it, it is a not found. EOS Zeolites unite!

quote:Originally posted by Fallenfaery:So i've seen phrases like TN/LN (I know this means took/left nothing) but there are other phrases I was curious about. It being 3 in the morning I have no clue what they where. but maybe you can help me out anyway. Wow, am I by chance a newbie () I believe there is a thread elswhere about this. As I recall it would be worth searching for. Some that I have been guilty of using are: TNLNSN - Took nothing, left nothing, signed nothing [a virtual] TNLNSL - Took nothing, left nothing, signed log TNLGB - Took nothing, left golf ball RASH - Recreational activity sport or hobby Keep on caching... the beast Zeolites unite!

quote:Originally posted by rut:I've had a Garmin Map76 I cost me $300 on line and I think it's the best thing I've ever bought. I was geocaching the other day and went into a 5ft. concrete pipe that went under a major highway and lost reception about 20 ft. in. I fell twice with it. The first time it was in a pouch on my hip and I fell about 4 ft. and landed right on it. I thought that would be it but it only got a gray spot in the middle of the screen and still worked. The next time I had it in my hand and I slipped, my feet went out from under and I slammed the unit into some rocks I don't know why it didn't break into a million pcs. its only got some gouges in the screen. The best part is I e-mailed Garmin and they will fix it under warrenty. That's free folks. rut You should get an indoor RASH. Or, at least take a paramedic along when you cache. Do you have a good first aid kit? I am worried about you. Zeolites unite!

Please clean up its crap off the trail when they are done doing their thing. I'm busy looking at my GPSr not at the trail to make sure I don't step in dog crap. I really enjoyed the scent for the last 3 hours of my day while after the first cache I hit on the ride to the second and the whole ride home. Very nice. Please if you have a dog be responsible and clean up after it. Just because your outdoors does not mean that you can leave your dogs $h1T laying around. Wow, great post man. Stepped in it again this morning on the trail. Makes me want to shoot every dog I see even though I love dogs but because I have been stepping in dog $h1T all my life I am not sure if I will ever get a dog. Maybe its the owners that need to be shot because they don't pick up the $h1t. I know I'm being harsh with the shooting stuff and I don't mean it but I wanted to get my point across with just how sick of this $h1T I am. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Coming Around, New Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Not so sure, Somewhat new Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 This is why you find signs that say NO DOGS ALLOWED Zeolites unite!

We are caching in mid-November and expect to be in mid-December, mid-January, etc. Why let up? Go for it... Place it... Make my day. Zeolites unite!

quote:Originally posted by eb_ii:I am looking for a new GPS and was wondering if anyone has used the Rino 120, what was good, bad etc about it. I am kind of used to the Etrex Vista (my dad has one) Thank You!! Looks cool, but.... Check availability - it isn't! "Jack of all trades..." - better get a good FRS and stick with the Vista. You will save some bucks. The Vista is a great caching tool. The FRS is little more than an added toy. Why build FRS & GPSr into one unit? Zeolites unite!

Trudy loves going along and finding the bugs. I am the one with the goals. We are looking to complete 200 [we have 170+] by the end of the year to include the 100 [we have 85+]closest to our home coords. The latter may be difficult if Kit'n'Kaboodle and Socco keep adding to our "25." Zeolites unite!

I just got this in my e-mail Wednesday, October 30, 2002 @ 1212 GMT ------------------------------------------------- The latest news from Spaceflight Now GPS LAUNCH ON HOLD AFTER DELTA 2 ROCKET DAMAGED ----------------------------------------------- A Boeing Delta 2 rocket was damaged in a freak accident last week as workers attached a Global Positioning System satellite to the booster at Cape Canaveral's launch pad 17B. The mishap will delay GPS launch at least a month and has the potential of also pushing back the January launch of NASA's fourth Great Observatory. http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0210/28gps2r8/ Zeolites unite!

Don't let Trudy see MAM. She is gonna wanna know where I have been nights. Zeolites unite!

There have been several threads regarding this issue over the past few months. One bug owner even started two or three searching for the response s/he wanted. There are a few key facts that every new bug owner needs to be aware of. 1. You only own the bug until you release it. 2. Once you release the bug it is free. 3. All bugs will eventually die. 4. Cachers that move your bugs have variable ability to keep to your timetable. We all hope that when we release a bug that it will enjoy a margin of success in achieving our goals for it. But we have made ourselves dependent on others for that success. Each bug will have a variable life. Some will fail early and a few will continue for perhaps years. There are two virtues that each of needs to nurture when we enter the game as a bug owner. The first is patience with our fellow gamers. And the second is a rather blasé attitude about the perceived shortcomings of our little charges called bugs. I am not being critical here. I only wish that you might be able to see the game from another perspective. I feel that this might actually help you to enjoy the game more since you seem to have set yourself up for disappointment. Keep on caching, the beast Zeolites unite!

Once you have found a large enough number of caches, the average difficulty will level off anyway. so what's the point? Zeolites unite!
