This just in ...
What would Edward Hopper have thought of Photoshop?
Note to Self: What would anybody think with those two rascals peeping in through the window?

This just in ...
Twelve years old and turning a decent profit with Duck-Taped fashion accessories.
What was I thinking, wrapping roll after roll of Duck Tape around old medication
bottles then hiking miles into the wilderness to hide them under stones and in
trees and bushes?
Hmm, how easy is it to strip Duck Tape back off of a medication bottle to reuse it?
Just another parade that passed me by,
Poor ol' Harmon
Note to Self: Gramma needs to do something about this.

Jodi dearest ...
Do we need a permit from you to place a birdhouse hide?
Relinked the image.

Just stopped by here with the Red Baron for a tune-up,
but now he keeps wanting to go UP! We did mow the lawn
for them while we were there, but they sure do have alot
of rocks everywhere with strange looking mowers sitting
around.
Thanks Pal!
Janie aka Splashette
Hi sweet Janie,
You and Red Baron surely get around. Don't know what
I would do without that shot of you mowing the
extensive estate-lawns of your east-county Baronage.
It's one of my two favorite shots of you. Hee-hee.
I'll bet that you caused a sensation when you mowed
into the JPL rover-test complex. You are a woman of
new frontiers, right up there with Anika Hansen and
Deanna Troi.
By the way, do you sharpen your own blades?
Kiss-kiss,
Sweet ol' Harmon

Hey everybody ...
I found a new Photoshop pal on Google+!
It appears you're having trouble with the zoom tool...
Hey! I'ma no toucha that image!
As a follower of this Forum thread you surely have noticed how cautious
and considerate I am when it comes to photographs of women. Respect for
the fair sex is my cardinal rule. Just ask around and you'll see it's so.
On the other hand I will take this risky chance to say that the tattoo
girl might just possibly benefit from a semi-regular dose of pork fat.
Besides, shopping for lace in Burano brings out the best of a beautiful
woman.
Ciao,
Sweet ol' Harmon

Something you have never before seen ...
Depth-mapped carmel corn sphere on carmel corn background.
If you know how to decipher depth-mapped spheres then you
can be FTF on an interesting new style of hide.
By the way, depth-mapped carmel corn maximizes flavor and
crunchiness for a superior taste treat. Oddly enough carmel
corn kernels that have been depth mapped have a very long
shelf life and so can be used as Geocaching travel bugs and
even as tiny, long-lasting scouring pads.
In the words of Team Fatman, having served as a laboratory
taste tester, "Whooeee, them thangs'll shore clean y' out!"
My pleasure,
Sweet ol' Harmon
Nte to Self: Made me giggle, tighten my tummy, and bang my heel on th' floor.
Note two Self: Facebook, buy at $38.00 sell at $15.00. How does that work out?

Jodi! come back ...
Pa needs you and Ma wants you, I know she does.
Seems like I've seen that kid somewhere before...on a milk carton maybe...?
Aine cute?
Harmon bibbed and Nancy harnessed in 1942 while passing through Abilene,
Texas. It's a rare shot 'cause I have shoes on 'cause we were there to visit
my grandmother Ila Mae Reeves. Only got t' wear my shoes for important
social occasions.
Thang was that during WWII leather was a rationed commodity so kid's shoes
had cardboard soles. If y' stepped in water then the stitches pulled through
the soggy soles and so th' shoes were ruined with th' result that you got y'r
butt beat for being stupid enough t' ruin y'r cardboard-soled shoes. To this
day I'll take a DNF rather than walk through water for a find. That's why I
have such a small find-count.
Another side effect of my upbrangin' is that I ain't got no butt t' speak of.
This picture is from my mom's old photo album. It's a really big photo album
of maybe fifty large pages with an average of ten photos per page. I appear
in three of the photos.
So it goes,
Poor ol' Harmon

Hmm, maybe a better question would have been ...
Any rocks, gravel, and dirt on Mars? Trouble is
that the rocks, gravel, and dirt are just a thin
candy shell around a taffey-like interior and a
molten core.
Note to Self: For Geocaching, what more do y' need?

Photographically speaking you should remove the
distraction of that other guy in the red tee.
That's always the problem, isn't it? If I had been the one taking the photo, I would have waited until the Red T-shirt guy was out of the scene. But when you hand off your camera to someone else, you never get quite the photo that you envisioned in your own mind.
(Thanks for the vanishing act...)
Once upon a time during the bygone film era I waited
the best part of an hour to get a shot without the
many distractions of a crowded location.
Now it's the least part of a minute with Photoshop
content-aware tools. Shazam! a distraction is either
gone or moved.

This just in from the Mars Rover Curiosity ...
As you can see from the image above Curiosity Rover features
a calibration target used to verify image color, brightness,
and sharpness and to verify the size of objects studied.
Before launch I had a buddy at the launch tower paste an image
of Splashette over the Lincoln Penny that was meant to serve
as a size-reference.
With my right-hand hereby raised I do on my honor vow that I
intend no reference whatever to the size nor shape of any and
all personal features, anatomical or otherwise, of the sweet
lady we know and love as Splashette of Geocaching fame. Ahmen.
So it goes,
Sweet ol' Harmon
Note to Self: Ain't she th' sweetest thang?

Note to Self: Of course LLOT has probably been there a dozen times.
Funny you should mention that...here's LLOT pushing Krishna's Butterball up the hill. I haven't been there a dozen of times, but I did visit Mahabalipuram in September 2004.
The place is famous for its stone carvings. Perhaps this will tickle Harmon's photo-editing neurons.
Yeah, yeah ... was there any doubt? Dadgumit James,
how am I to be cool with you around? Bet y' had
some fun rooting around for that shot in your old photo
collections.
Say, in that carving what's those ribbons tied to that
hang down between th' bull-headed warriors legs? Just
wonderin', might be a good idea at my age.
Photographically speaking you should remove the
distraction of that other guy in the red tee.
Sweet ol' Harmon

But wait, there's more ...
From this point of view they call it Krishna's Fingertip.
It is situated amongst the eight stone Mahabalipuram
Temples at N12 37.142, E80 11.546. Lots of photos
posted on Google Earth.
Yes, there's a Geocache hide.
Mahabalipuram and Krishna's Butter Ball.
Many more photos posted with log entries. You'll love
the hint ... under pile of stones.
If we leave in the morning we should score the find
this week.

Harmon,
You are very lucky that Miss Jodi is back in Vermont
taking care of her mother after an operation.....
I will point this latest out to her however in about
14 days.....
Cheers, John
John,
Uh-oh, Jodi in Vermont and my sweet bride in
Connecticut, this can't go well for me. Why
do I sense a New England smackdown coming?
Make sure to point out that Doug of the RCMP
caused most of the butterball trouble. I tried
t' stop him.
Poor ol' Harmon
-
That is good, but didn't look right! Now THIS is a Butterball.
Now you got me thinking about Thanksgiving Dinner which thankfully is only a few weeks away (Canadian Version) followed by the US in November and Christmas, maybe Easter too. Then there are the Eastern Orthodox versions a few weeks delayed (not Thanksgiving though).
And I just lost all this weight too! Sigh!
Doug 7rxc
O'm'gosh, carve it ... I'll take white if y' please and
do pass the cranberry-sauce. Will there be PUD cake?
Anybody got a suggestion about how t' get butterball
grease out of Jodi's skivey-shorts. (Boxers or briefs,
who knows?)
Don't let Team Fatman see this, he'll blow a hole in
his computer screen with his duct-taped turkey plinker.
Love it,
Sweet ol' Harmon
p.s. Nice job on the composite by the way.

Quiet lately, someone needs to give Harmon some ammo (aka:pictures) to work with.
Too right!
Jodi bearing Krishna's Butt_erball
Inspired by Google+ photographer May Fong Robinson's repost.
Jodi is just too awesome for words. Photo is a visual metaphor
for Jodi's marriage since John retired and goes Geocaching
each and every day of the year while she goes to work.
Thanks for your support "lost guy." With my sweet bride in
Rhode Island this week I have a bit more time on my hands.
By the way, see the Yrium Card albums at my Google+ Account.
Get it? ... she's looking for the container.

You're welcome,

Note to Self: To be honest I thought the number was lower than that.

So far I see very little participation from Geocachers. I'm working up
a scheme to make a Geocaching Circle that is both interesting and
rewarding. At the outset I spent a day organizing the Yrium-card
collection so that I could and did share it with an existing Geocaching
Circle. So far BlondHiLites has been the only one to show an interest
in viewing and the Yrium-card image galleries.
You might want to check Facebook.
M'thinks you missed my point ol' friend.
Was just making sure you were still with us.
So it goes ....
Nah, I got your point. I was just taking the opportunity for a FB jab at ol' Harmon.
I know, and I always deserve a jab ... gives me a chance to better
explain myself. After all, I've put about ten years into training
my pals to pick on me ... some of them got it right away.
Love it,
Poor ol' Harmon
Life is good!

Clearly my remarks failed to explain Google+ Circles as I hoped. Of course people
do bring Facebook expectations into Google+; that is, nothing more than email with
personal and/or family photo albums. They tend to be surprised that Google+ isn't
just another form of Facebook.
The Circles I speak of are specialized in some discipline wherein participants are
vetted and monitored for their qualifications and contributions. Such Circles include
science, engineering, education, medical, photography, data encryption, astronomy,
robotics, image and video editing, and much more. One is expected to be qualified and
to contribute to the goals and objectives of a given circle; otherwise, one will be
dropped by Circle moderators at the next periodic assessment. Collaboration between
qualified people with goals and objectives in mind, that's the real-deal of Google+.
At seven and seventy I'm thrilled at the opportunity Google+ affords to keep my thoughts
engaged in interesting and even useful discussions and activities. I bought a Nexus 7
Tablet about a month ago and since find myself wide awake at about 3:30 a.m. each and
every night with stylus in hand to engage in subjects of interest until the sun rises.
Side effect is an afternoon nap now and then for the first period in my lifetime. It
reminds me so of my college and engineering days. My body's old but I don't care, 'cause
I don't need no easy chair.
Of course Google+ will erode in time in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics
but hopefully the erosion will be confined to unvetted social Circles that are more suited
to Facebook.
Bottom line is that there's a need for both Facebook and Google+.
So it goes ...
