  1. Reminder: There's a Latitude47 Geocaching Circle and a San Diego Geocachers Community on Google Plus. Note: Facebook and Google Plus are entirely different in purpose, form, and function so don't miss out, enjoy both.
  2. Christmas morning I was surprised to find that some of my Geocaching pals left a container on my back porch. I was able to put the fire out before it spread to the structure. The logsheet was too charred to read but nearby was a pendant bauble with initials LLOT and some sort of bladder thingy with table legs stickin' out all over it. When I picked th' bladder thingy up for examination it made a rude bunch of noises like, you know, a flatulent pen of porkers. If anybody can supply information about this strange event then please, do keep it to yourself. So it goes ... Poor ol' Harmon SD Rowdies
  3. How funny, this was like seeing two DNF log entries in-a-row on a cache. First your reaction is that the two guys probably had a little cocktail before going out to Geocache. Then it sinks-in that maintenance must be done. However, in this case, I was able to accomplish the maintenance without putting my boots on or putting my slice of coconut cream pie back into the frig'. Turned out that I didn't place those photos into the proper subfolder of my Skydrive Public Folder. My bad. On the other hand I am delighted with Skydrive for a number of reasons, mostly as an important element of my system backup scheme. What with Skydrive, that nifty and free Microsoft utility called SyncToy, an internal secondary hard-drive, an external USB hard-drive, and Adobe Lightroom my worries are over about data-loss and O/S loss. Beyond that Skydrive allows my sweet bride and I to share very-large image and video files, and share a large number of image files at once with ease. Finally, posting that defective link caused you and John to post the first comments I've seen on this Forum Thread in many a day. Might be a good method to trick lurkers into posting comments. I think that's what you call "Bait." Sweet ol' Harmon Note to Self: Wonder if I should post a link to the new SD Geocachers G+ Community?
  4. Dang! don't scare me like this. An unexpected post at an unexpected time on this Geocaching Forum is, well, unexpected. Now John, try to recall that I bullied you into signing up for a Skydrive Account so I know very well that you are amply qualified to hover over that link with mouse or touch-pad cursor and then left-click the mouse or touch- pad. Otherwise please tell me, did you have a little cocktail before turning your laptop on? Don't work for me either... wonder if someone was forgetful of 'permissions' etc. Doug 7rxc Merry Christmas everyone. O well, two of you means I needed to investigate. Sorry John. Grabbed and posted the public-access link once again. That should give you Read-Only permission as intended. Try it once again in this post. Merry Christmas Harmon SD Rowdies in this post.

  6. End of world as we knew it ... Looking Back A San Diego Geocachers archive. Note: Click first image for viewer or to choose slideshow if you please.
  7. So you have forgotten about the Geo Babe's? Heaven sakes no, but I passed my final exam and they graduated me with diploma and tassle. Trouble is that the diploma is written in a foreign language so that not even Google Translator can handle it. Worse yet I got so old that once I layed down in the back seat of Splashette's tiny little car I couldn't get back up and out to make the Geocache grabs. Looking back on things I suspect that the word "graduated" has a hidden meaning known only to the Geobabes. So it goes, Poor ol' Harmon
  8. Sweet Sue, Thank you darlin', so far my birthday has been filled with joy. Pecan wafffles with side of bacon at Janet's in Alpine, huge box of See's at home, annual Christmas Feast tonight at our residential park, and lots of birthday cards and wishes from my dear friends. Downside is that I have finally crossed over the Life Expectancy age for U.S.A. From now on every time I wake up in the morning it will be an unexpected event. So it goes, Sweet ol' Harmon SD Rowdies
  9. There's a brand new Google+ feature called "Communities." San Diego Geocachers As you can see I have established a "San Diego Geocachers" Google+ Community and hereby encourage one and all to participate by having a Google+ Account, by asking to join this new Community, and finally to become an active user of the SDG Community.
  10. You can see all the cards displayed in the Gallery of this TB: http://coord.info/TB9E Here too including misprints: Yrium Cards Thank You! Is this still continuing????? Was there only one card in the "Pals 2nd Series" ? - Pals 2nd Series #1 FlagSon Andrew Flagman knows best about the Pals 2 set. I do believe that FlagSon was the only card in that set; at least, that is true about the set of cards I own. Hasn't been a new card in a while even though an active uDesignit card was found a few months back. At last report The Fat Cats manage the Yrium Cards. By the way, thanks for filling in some of the historic details of the Yrium Cards. Nice to know more about how they began.

  12. This just in ... Here's some good news, I spoke with Jodi this week and asked her to make a pledge to me that if ever, God forbid, I should lose my sweet-bride Sandy that Jodi would leave John and look after me. She didn't say no! (She did in fact say a few other things that I didn't quite catch due to my state of euphoria.) So right away I took Jodi by the arm and went over to John to fill him in on Jodi's pledge just so he knows and so that everything will be above-board if and when this admittedly unlikely sequence of events ever does take place. Today, as you can see from the above photograph, Jodi and I took a trial run on the agreement to work out a few minor details of my backup plan for an adventurous elder-care program; you know, just in case. Pays to look ahead, Sweet ol' Harmon SD Rowdies
  13. This just in ... Ravaged by Cedar Fire but too tough to die. Blue Ribbon Trail, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.
  14. Seems to me North Carolina has lots of forest and stream scenery as well as costal. Still western mountainous grandure is indeed very inspiring. Glad to see your log entry. Hope you drilled back into the past pages of our "This just in" Forum offering; especially, where I pick on deserving Geocachers of San Diego COunty. Sweet ol' Harmon SD Rowdies
  15. This just in ... You are never alone on the trail, tree creepies are watching you. A posted post Yet another post posted.
  16. This just in ... There's a rumor goin' 'round that FisnJack scored his 12,000th find, and did so without a personal injury or even a fall or stumble. Of course he was attended as usual by his dedicated side-kicks and care-givers Ragfoot and Dillweed not to mention that he scored the milestone on the flank of Japacha Peak in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Note to Self: Not too bad for an old geezer. Note two Self: An SD Rowdies hide by the way. Note three Self: He's been carrying that sign with him for the last six month.
  17. Wow! "lostguy" posting a Forum comment is a delightful surprise. Thank you for posting a photo of your hiking companion. Sure hope that she becomes an active Geocacher, any gal that can smile such a beautiful smile while hiking Conejos Trail will be well received. "This just in ..." has finally gone viral with no less than ten followers. Makes me giddy to think of about it. As mentioned before I do so enjoy the steady stream of log entries for the Geocache hides in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Worth noting is the quality of the log entries, actual sentences with remarks that take me back to the days I spent placing those many containers. I'm so glad that I posted photos for those hides because now it's possible to associate log entries with the actual hidey holes and with the surrounding scenery. "I remember the time I knew what happiness was ... let the memory live again." You know, that sort of thang, Sweet ol' Harmon SD Rowdies
  18. By the way, with the hot summer weather at an end I am reaping heaps of enjoyment from the Geocache log entries for CRSP hides. Thanks to all for the entertaining log entries. I read them with delight and always revisit those cache pages to view posted images. I promise that I will never, ever Photoshop a single one of the posted images. Honest. Thanks, Sweet ol' Harmon SD Rowdies
  19. This just in ... Winslow Homer scores a FTF!
  20. Hope y'all are using Instant Google Street View
  21. Thank you, thank you ... and happy Thanksgiving to you. I be stuffed! Sweet ol' Harmon
  22. This just in ... A day in the life of Yoda.
