Add me to that list of non-cache page people too.....
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

I almost bought a Colorado when they first came out...boy, am I glad I didn't. I'm keeping my 60Csx until I start to see some good reviews about the Colorados.
What might happen is that Garmin may have to use a new release / chipset to get all the features and modifications to work...like a revision B....or a Colorado 500.
I'll just wait and see.

I don't schedule them either...I run them when I want to refresh my cache list.
Ok, I archived the old one, created a new one and marked that as "Delete When Run". I ran it and got the Pocket Query within a couple min.
Whats the deal with that?
Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll store that information into my personal "Organization Process Assets" for future use.

There is still a Red check mark in Saturday's box.
I also have the Uncheck box after it runs checked....but it never unchecked...so I guess it didn't run.

***I have this stuff sent to a Gmail account. I might create another email address at a different server to see if anything comes.***
Ok, I ran another Pocket Query and had the PQ sent to my paid web-hosting email address (Not Gmail or Yahoo or Hotmail)....and it still has not come.

Having issues receiving Pocket Queries. It started about 2 days ago. On Friday afternoon, I ran 1 for that day...after a few hours, nothing came. I ran it again...and nothing came. That night (around 10:00 pm central), I got about a dozen new listings, a weekly news letter and 1 Pocket query.
Saturday (11:00 am central), I ran another Pocket Query and nothing came. So, I ran another....and still nothing.
So, I get new listings, news letters and no pocket queries.
I have this stuff sent to a Gmail account. I might create another email address at a different server to see if anything comes.

I'm in Dallas and because of the city and few parks where you can hide an Ammo Can...there is a MICRO on every corner, in every tree and bush and under every lamp-skirt at every wallmart and other shopping centers.
If there were Virtuals, I could at least use the Donkey at the Owens Sausage factory in Richardson....oh wait...there are 2 lampskirt micros within .1 miles........DANG.

***Here's your answer***
I read that link and the experiments that were done...very interesting.
Thanks to all that responded.

Suppose I do a pocket query for 500 caches within 25 miles of my home coordinates...but there are already 500 caches within 5 miles of my home coordinates.
Does that mean nothing appears for the other 20 mile radius or are things averaged out over that radius/distance to give you something to find up to 25 miles?

I did that once...took a logbook from 1 cache and placed it in another cache.
When I first looked in the Ammo box, I didn't see a log book...just a Baggie with a TB and paper in it....which I thought was the TB information.
Thinking the logbook was missing, I put a piece of paper and pen in the ammo box and dropped off the TB at another cache. After another Geocacher discovered the error, I went back to the other cache, got the logbook and placed it in the proper cache. It took a few days though.
These were the log entries:

***Change Gpx to gpx at the start (2nd line) and end (last line) and save the file. Then use that file***
Yep, that worked...."Gpx" should all be lower case "gpx".
-
***Please discuss Wherigo hardware questions in... of all places... the Wherigo Hardware forum. This thread is about Wherigo geocaches.***
Since a "Moderator" mentioned that they went out with a workable PPC...I thought that just maybe I could get an answer here of what he used that worked...since just about everyone else in the Where-I-Go Hareware forum has problems.
But never mind with a quick answer...I'll re-read all the problems in Where-I-Go hardware forum..."Of All Places".

I don't know about the calculating problem...but
***Here's a dumb question but I don't know the answer so I'll ask it. Sometimes the compass pointer doesn't show on the compass. Why?**
Have you switched between Compass and Bearing pointer? Check your menu settings.
-
***I was able to get out today with a borrowed Pocket PC and play through a couple of the Wherigo "play anywhere" cartridges.***
What did you use that worked?
I've looked at the Where-I-Go hardware forum several times but everyone seems to report some kind of problems with various PPC's.
Since I won't get a Colorado yet...I might invest in a PPC that I knew worked with Where-I-Go.

***Off topic, but I wanted to note that you're mistaken, or reacting to outdated information, so that nobody is confused by this portion of your post.***
June of last year I was not allowed to do a true POD-Cache...I had to also include a Transcript of that audio file to get it published.
When did things change?
-
***I can see where you're coming from... But personally, I just started geocaching recently. So all the spots in the area that have been in hiding (and found frequently) for the past couple years - are all new to me!***
Ok, we will give you a few days head start.....lol
-
***I would like to see a time limit (1 or 2 years) set on all caches to keep the sport fresh***
And
***Nothing to do with smilies***
I agree...once the locals have found the caches it is basically done unless the "Out-Of-Towners" come look for them.
Even if the caches change once a year...it gives the locals and frequent "Out-Of-Towners" fresh caches to look for too.

***The point was that just because a group of people like something, doesn't mean it belongs on this site.***
The point is that just because a group of people DOES NOT like something, doesn't mean it belongs on ANOTHER-site.

I was going to get a Colorado 400 to replace my 60CSX and do Where-I-Go...but there seems to be too many problems with the Colorado...So, I am holding off.
I would get some GPS enabled PDA but in the hardware forum I have not see something that works 100%...so I am holding off on that too.
Otherwise, it looks interesting and I would like to try it.
-
***I would like to see lots more micros and nanos, particularly of the lamppost skirt, guardrail, streetcorner post office box and sidewalk newspaper box genre, and concomitantly, I would like to see all caches in those categories moved to a separate website.***
So, my Bison Tube hanging on a wire fence is safe....WHEW!!!!
-
***Since I've been on the forums, I'm amazed at how folks re-define words like "first."***
I've seen First To Find.
First To Log.
-
***So, why aren't virtuals on the site? "Enough people" apparently don't agree.***
And even if 100% of the Geocachers agree...and the 1 person from Geocaching.com says no...who do you think wins?
-
***You can argue that at least a MICRO is still a geocache. Its a stretch to call a virtual a geocache.***
Ok, I'll agree there....
Why should I become a premium member?

***So I am trying to talk myself into the membership.***
If you use this site...help support it, It cost money to keep it going.
And
You get Pocket Queries.
