I vote for this to go in the calendar (it always cracks me up) - maybe end-page!!!
Double-honk if you can name the cachers!
-
Hey I would nominate a photo for the calendar but I do not have it. I can only refer to it as 8.5...
Someone else would have to submit it...I know the one you are speaking of as well and I have the picture.
Do you have a high-resolution version of that shot?
... keep it.
Harmon - please "put" some clothes on him!!!
The only problem, is he would have to stare at the picture for a while as he edits it..... it's kind of like looking at the sun.and besides.....You know I'm dead sexy! I am selling prints for $5.
Is he pulling the cache out of his swimtrunks in front of those little girls???

Something funny that I got in my e-mail today:
The bathtub test
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do
you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty
the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the
bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want
a bed near the window?"

So what do you know that the rest of us have been dying to figure out?
I'm going to take bragging rights on this one! The Hunt For Red October could not get Marko Ramius out of the closet but mine did!
Check out the log for High Above Interstate 15 Nevermind, I guess only cache owners can read archived logs for their own caches.
Does he or doesn't he?
(Only his hairdresser knows for sure...
)Does he or doesn't he... wear anything under his kilt?

Wow! - This thread turned out to be "Hiking poles - the thread about nothing!"
Sort of reminds me of a TV show from the last century - slightly amusing with no substance.
Harmon, I - No, scrap that - we all are waiting for your response to Eric's pics! Load them into Photoshop and out comes....???

I am still trying to push ThePolarBear to come on out as well, but polar bears can be stubborn at times and I am fresh out of dead seals to lure him out.
Have you tried Hjortron Sylt? That usually works with polar bears...
Hjortron Sylt = Cloudberry Preserve/Jam on a dead seal carcass - Yum!!!

I am still trying to convince ThePolarBear the difference between Bread and Crackers...... They just don't get it.
A simple way to get him to remember would be to have him to eat a bunch of crackers in bed one night. Then ask him the next day how well he slept.
Civilized people (Northern Europeans) eat at the table!

Here's a good chuckle...

Abbott and Costello 'How to buy a computer'
You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old
To REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of
Us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...
If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their famous sketch,
"Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:
COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT.
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking
About buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write
Proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm
Sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some
Straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I
Can track my money with?
ABBOT T: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
(A few days later.)
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on "START".............

I have a problem loading a detail map from Mapsend to my eXplorist SD card. I'm following the instructions and this is what I do:
- I save the the MapSend map region to my hard drive
- I upload it to my SD card via Magellan Conversion Manager
It starts up and locks up for a while and this is the error message I get:
"The specified I/O operation on \Device\Harddisk1\DR12 was not completed before the time-out period expired."
When I cancel operation I get the following error:
"An error occured while copying file C:\Program Files\Magellan\MapSend Topo 3D USA\Export\Images\Missouri.imi."
Any ideas? I have uploaded detailed maps once before without a problem.

I'm going to take bragging rights on this one!
