This just in ...
It was just one of those things, just one of those crazy flings.
One of those bells that now and then rings, just one of those things.
OUCH !!!! You OK after that ?

This just in from Mars ...
Curiosity Rover scores FTF at LPR (little pile of rocks).
JPL, I have a problem ... need another hand to unscrew lid.

Gosh, how do y' think I feel?
When I check Google+ accounts of local Geocachers what do you suppose I see
in most cases?
A message saying that the Geocacher "Hasn't shared anything with you."
Fine, y'all go ahead and share thangs with one onother, don't worry about me.
I'll be o.k., I'll just read another old book and die as soon as I'm called.
Poor ol' Harmon
Note to Self: It ain't like it costs anythang t' share with an ol' man.
Note two Self: 'Fraid I'll mess with their photos I'll wager.
Note three Self: When have I ever messed with their photos anyway?

This just in ...
Hey everybody, help me out here.
When I look at the photo I see Manzanita in bloom
and sunlight streaming through the foliage.
When I look at Janie and Nancy in the photo I see
that they are bundled up as if strolling the streets
of Nome, Alaska while awaiting the finish of the
Iditarod Sled-Dog Race.
What's the deal? Does anybody know if Splashette
and Lulu499 are out of town and actually in Alaska?
At any rate I've added that photo to the Geocachers
SD Rowdies website until this mystery is cleared up.
Worse yet I heard that they've been hiking in our
local mountains with that nefarious Geocacher
formerly know as DeuschBag.
Say it isn't so,
Sweet ol' Harmon
Note to Self: Janie and Nancy ... ain't they th' sweetest thangs?

Now it works I do have high speed internet access. Just didn't work this morning for some reason
-
:D Absolutely!!! All of your pics and..........er..........alterations.........need to be seen by everybody, they are amazing Harmon!!Splashette
Splashette and Skillet,
Thanks for your support pals. Maybe I'll spend some time to
work up an authentic SD Rowdies Website. Oddly enough I had
one until Cox Communications removed web-space without
reducing charges. Had quite a tussel over that ... destroying
intellectual property with no regard for the damages it caused
is malicious I say. On the other hand I suppose it's possible
for them to know that the phrase "intellectual property" and
I don't go together.
So while I was fiddling with LLOT's fangers I took the step to
purchase some web space on a Server in the U.K. Side effect
is that once in a while I call in a phony customer-service
request just to have a conversation with a delightful British
lady and her lucious British accent. Rule Britannia!
First step was to whip up the example you see above. Kind of
like that layout because it offers fairly large images.
Janie, you're such a sweety and Skillet, you're ... uhm,
Sweet ol' Harmon
We both really like your idea and think this is a very worthwhile use of your time. In life you must find that which makes you happiest and then pursue it with vigor. Neither of us would have selected phone calls to anonimous british helpdesk ladies as our thing, but we respect your right to follow your own path. We say "go for it Harmon!!" ..........oh by the way, the website is a good idea too.
This is great, now I have at least three, maybe four, Geocachers
to blame for any consequences that befall me for responding to
their encouragement. Also I called one of those help-desk Brit'
babes to talk over this matter ... if I knew how to write a
British accent I'd quote what she said to me. It was a heart
warming conversation by the way; only lower.
In the meanwhile I've roughed out a placeholder for an eventual
SD Rowdies website as a means to try out the tools I've gathered
for the effort.
Don't expect much from the alpha-test version ... just wanted to
make sure that the three or four followers that comprise my base
constituancy have some encouragement, as meager as it is. Try
the link that follows. ("... base constituancy ...," I got that from
BBC News by the way.)
Note: For now just use the Back-Button for returning to home page.
Well, looks like the tools and procedures are more or less on track.
So now I have not only an alpha-test SD Rowdies website hosted on
a British server but also a bevy of Brit' help-desk babes to talk
things over with. Of course I know very well that she has to pretend
to like me as part of her job but, for Gawd's sake, just leave me
alone about that little detail. After all, I went through enough of that
sort of relationship during the seventies.
Life is good,
Sweet ol' Harmon
Note to Self: Wonder if my base constutuancy is three or is it four followers?
The connection has timed out
The server at morninggloryranch.webplus.net is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Great job Harmon, animation in a photo ,only you could do that

Thanks for all you do, pal!!!
Way to go Harmon you made it another year, Hope you have many more

I would like to share an experience with you all, about drinking and driving. As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years. A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and had a few too many margaritas. Knowing full well that I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before -- I took a bus home. I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a bus before and I am not sure where I got it from...
LOL! Nice work!
Hope you didn't take Zeber's bus

THESE REALLY WORK!! I checked this out on Snopes and it's for real!
AMAZING, SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES:
1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.
2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.
3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.
4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.
5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.
6. YOU NEED ONLY TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
THOUGHT for the day:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN THEY'RE PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
hahahaha!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!
:laughing: It hurts you made me laugh so hard!!!

Old Cowboy Ya think you have lived to be 63 and know who you are……..
then along comes someone and blows it all to the dickens...
An old cowboy sat down at the Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.
She turned to the cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'
He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on tractors, and feeding my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy.'
She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.'
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?' He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a Lesbian.'

Hi, there!!
For anyone who is interested, I am pleased to announce that the mantle has been passed!! That's right, from now on the UDesignit Card TB is "owned" by The Fat Cats!! Sue has graciously agreed to carry on the proud tradition started by the lovable yrium. Harmon, of course, will continue to provide artistic and technical support. Almost 7-years is enough of my nonsense, dontcha think?, so I have stepped down from day-to-day involvement and will serve as a sort of deposed dictator of sorts, pulling all the strings from some deserted island where I have been exiled for various crimes against humanity. Sue is really good with scissors -- just ask Harmon -- so you can rest assured that we are in good hands (just watch your fingers...) Anyhoo, let's all put our hands together and give Sue a huge SoCal welcome!!! Can't wait to see you put your stamp on this project!!
Way to go Sue -

SEE YOU THERE!
THE SPLASHES & THE GEO OCOTILLO CAMPOUT CREW
Cat and I were out making sure everything was OK at the campout site, and we noticed a suspicious group wandering around. They appeared to be sometimes looking for something and other times hiding something, with no apparent pattern. Perhaps this was just a lost patrol or misguided prostectors , but does anyone else think we should be notifying Homeland Security?
The Campout Crew
They do look like a motley crew don't they.
Homeland Security might be a good Idea -
Hello Roughnecks!
The Roughneck Rendezvous Off-Highway Geocaching Adventure is just a short time away! The poster is finally completed and we couldn't wait to show you! The theme this year centers around all of the Colorful Characters of Ocotillo Wells SVRA. We have several colorful characters featured on the poster, but everyone's favorite seems to be the man in the red shirt. He represents a true historical figure that did roam our desert looking for gold! He eventually found some, but back then there were no GPSr's and he lost his way in a dust storm, never finding the gold again though he searched and searched.
The first person to post the correct identity of the Colorful Character on our poster will win a wonderful prize that will be given to you at Roughneck Rendezvous III, January 28th and 29th 2012!
Good Luck!
The event page will be up around November 1st, so keep your eyes peeled! And as always, if you would like to volunteer for RRIII then please feel free to call 760-767-5772!
Thank you and see you soon!
Is that Old peg leg Smith that told all the lies.
Great job on the poster Jeff
