  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

  3. 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 :rolleyes:

    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. 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... dry.gif

     

    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?

     

    A technically incapable John :angry:

     

    End of world as we knew it ...

    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

  6. 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

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

    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

  8. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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,

    Sweet ol' Harmon

    SD Rowdies

  14. 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
