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.

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

That's a lot better! Nice to see the images, got to browse them later.
Thanks a lot! As for John, only time will tell

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?

Sir, I got to the skydrive account, I just didn't see this latest folder. I saw the Garmin csx photos and another two photos, just not the new ones...
Merry Christmas to you and the family!
Cheers, John
Mr. Harmon, I tried to look at this but it doesn't seem to be shared with us. I see two other files you shared, but not this one.... What do I do?

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

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

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

Happy Birthday, Harmon!!! May your day be filled with family, friends, and lots of laughter!
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

There's a brand new Google+ feature called "Communities."
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.

Geocaching Trading Cards have come along way since the day Jeremy Irish first proposed them on a forum thread on June 5, 2002. On July 15, 2002, geocacher "yrium" ran with the idea and created his own cards and started placing them in geocaches in the Escondido, California area. I am not quite sure how many "yrium" cards exist today, but I am interested in finding out. If anyone has any of yrium's cards and can scan the fronts and backs, I would highly appreciate it. See my links in my profile. I would also be interested in obtaining copies for my collection of early cards. I am willing to trade cards from my History Series, Terminology series, or personal trading card series (as well as any duplicates of cards i have in other series such as FTF geocacher, Going Coastal, Going Caching, and the Louisiana Geocaching Legends). Please email me or contact me through the links in my profile.
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.

Ravaged by Cedar Fire but too tough to die.
Blue Ribbon Trail, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.

That is gorgeous. I'm in NC so I have don't have the privelge to see that beautiful landscape. My grandparents would go out west and show me all the picture. She also had place mats of western scenes, all of them completely different but those red mountains are what I had always spilled my food on and I will go there one day. Thanks for the picture and an old childhood memory
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.

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.

I am trying to figure out how to post in the forums since it's been so long. I'm also trying hard to believe Harmon but both are difficult. Love your hides in Cuyamaca Harmon, such a great area.
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,

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
