The Weasel

I didn't win 1 of El Diablo's hiking staffs, but I did stay in a Holliday Inn express last night. It's all ok, I had Subway for lunch!!!!

Well that's close, but I can't do that. So I've decided to give the staff or I should say staffs to... Cacheola and also one to Cacheola Crew Mom Also one to Carleen's mom Nevalp and one to Carleenp as well. You both thought it would be better to give than receive and I think you should be rewarded for such unselfish thoughts. Congratulations to you and yours. El Diablo WHAT!!! I suffered through Clay Aiken for nothing? Oh the humanity!!!!! Congrats to all the winners, maybe next time will be my time!!

You guys all rock!!!! Thanks to everybody for all your help!!!!

Yikes, thats huge!!! OK, who wants to play around with it for me? What I want is my current avatar wooden nickel on the front of the shirt and a Garmin in his hand. Can somebody help me? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Or just hit the "Print Screen" (Prt Sc) button on your keyboard and then paste it into an image editing program. I suppose it should be said that you want to start large and then shrink the avatar to the size you need it, rather than making it small from the get-go. You'll get a better image that way. Bret That's assuming you're a Windows user, of course... Command-shift-3 will also do this, and command-shift-4 will let you grab a rectangular portion of the screen. Add the control key to both of those and the screen capture will go to the clipboard rather than a new PICT file. Well, I have it as a .gif file, but thats as far as I can get

Try here... I used that for my avatar. I made one, but can't get it to save on my desktop

I know it's not Molly my pug!!!

Nuh Uh! Bo and uke in my General are gonna whoop on Coy & Vance in yours! HAHAHAHAHA Just wait a cotton pickin minute. My Boss Hogg caddy is gonna zoom right past ya and I'm going to have Rosco cuff-ya and stuff-ya!!

Why am I picturing pulsing, disembodied brains, in a glass case shouting, " I'll wager 5,000 Quatloos on the NEWCOMER!!!" ??? Sn gans Thats what I thought...... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We hold, Provider 1. Provider 1 bids 300 quatloos for the new comers. Provider 2, 350 quatloos. Provider 3, 400. 1,000 quatloos. 1,050 quatloos. 2,000. 2,000 quatloos are bid. Is there a challenge? The newcomers have been vended to Provider 1. We're free people. We belong to no one. Such spirit. I wager 15 quatloos that he is untrainable. 20 quatloos that allthree are untrainable. 5,000 quatloos that the newcomers will have to be destroyed. Accepted. Mark them, Galt.

I had THIS TB and THIS TB complete their goals and returned to me in the same week. How cool is that!!!

I have 3 cats and 2 dogs.. PLUS I had to endure a Clay Aiken concert!!!!!

LOL, now THAT'S funny!!!

I agree with you totaly Big Red. It makes me wonder why I keep buying more TB to put. I guess it's the fact that I still feel that the good and honest cachers outweigh the scumbags that try and ruin the game!

As a person who has several TB's out and about, I guess I have come to accept the terms that there are low life pieces of trash that like to ruin things. Out of 15 or so TB's that I have out, 2 are now MIA. One owner e-mailed me stating that they "lost" it. Funny that it happed to be a brand new geocoin!! I really like the look and design of the geocoin, but I think they just invite TB theives. I like the idea the person had of putting string on the TB. IMHO, most of my TB's are not getting pics taken with it, so just put some piece of crap on the dog tag. This will hopefully prolong somebody wanting to steal it. I say use a broken McToy, a jar with your old tonsils that are bobing around in a jar since you were a kid, a used bandaid or anything people have no intrest in stealing. The purpose of the TB is basically is to get to a goal and gain milage. I don't think a TB has to be flashy to have that happen. So I say get a pair of your skid marked whitey tighties out and put a TB on it. I bet it will last a lot longer that a geocoin or a flashy TB.

Just giving this topic a little bump to see if anybody else has come up a signature item they have created that they would like to trade with me? If your interested, just drop me a note!!

I am a sig item collector my self. I have 3 shelving units that I have for all the caching stuff I have collected. I have 1 shelf dedicated to all the sig items have COLLECTED

I don't I will ever be right again!!(not that I was all right to begin with ). Frankly, I would rather do nude log rolls all day in a field of poison oak and stinging nettles than endure that pain again! Your wife is lucky to have you, and you can tell her I said so. And I do think you deserve a staff for being so accommodating by giving up two days of caching for her. GPSKitty Some might argue that by going to the concert and not standing up for your own cache time that you are indeed in need of a 'staff'. You havn't seen my wife when it comes to Clay Aiken. Her and her merry band of twits (or Claymates as they like to be called) can make a man do about anything. She even made me tap into my new Garmin 60c fund. I ended up shelling out 50 bucks to her for a shirt, a program, and a keychain. I swear it was worse than the Jedi mind trick "These are not the droids we are looking for" But it was more like "You will give up 2 days of caching, and you will buy me Clay crap" As far as I know, no anal probes were used (But then again we are talking about a Clay Aiken concert, so anything is possible!! ) I was only teasing. Believe me I understand. I once went to a Madonna concert AND a Janet Jackson concert in the same summer because current 'GF' wanted to go. Looking back I can't imagine why. Come to think of it I am pretty sure she was drugging me throughout the relationship. Either that or some form of voodoo hocus pocus. I am feeling much better now. But we are talking Clay Aiken!!! That makes seeing Janet Jackson and Madonna seem like seeing Elvis on stage!

Garmin is my vote. Been happy with all of their products

Awww man, who PHARTed Hmm, how man types of pharts are there? I would say the hard boiled egg and beer PHART is the worse!!

I would say take a dog whenever you can. Just be realistic about it. Your not going to put a dog in a repelling harness to do a 5-5 cache. Just use common sense when your caching with your 4 legged companion. ALSO, remember that they can overheat a lot quicker than you can. Take several breaks and bring water along for them as you do for yourself. ALSO, with the tick season coming upon us, make sure they are up to date on their heatworm check and check them for ticks after a long day of caching

I would hire somebody to cache for me but I would get all the credit!!!

Be very carefull with the high % DEET...it melts some types of plastic. My MeriPlat has permanent fingerprints melted into the case. AMEN to this. Deet destroyed my Ironman watch. It made the clear plastic all dull and foggy. It also dulled out the black shiney plastic as well.
