Things I dislike:
Newbies who can't figure out how to open an ammo can, so they decide to pry it open with something thereby breaking the seal.
Owners who don't check on caches that have been reported as having cracks or wet contents.
Mosquitos.
Inadvertantly leaving the DEET in the car.
Stepping into mud up to my knee and having it gush into my boots.
Cleaning the inside of boots after stepping into a mudhole.
Complainers.

Spending less than 200? You can get an eTrex Summit or eTrex Legend for under $200 if you look in the right places.

we started in March and have about 50 finds at this point. We normally go once a week or so. However we are planning a full day in the next few weeks with a goal of 21 caches.
We have the maps ready and we are planning our routes at the moment. Has anyone had any full day cache trips? And if so, how many were you able to get?

So, I'm on OS X as well and I've got an old Palm III. I can hook it up and use iSync to make my address book sync up, but I've had trouble moving any data other than addresses into the Palm. FullQuiver, do you have any pointers?

I found it the 1st time but since we're a team I don't log it until everyone has found it.
The person below smells so much like a sock puppet that they might as well work at Hanes or Fruit of The Loom.

I've placed a cache on Io, the lava moon of Jupiter. It's a 35mm film canister painted blue. It contains oxygen, only about 3 cubic inches though, so don't waste it! Unfortunately, I used another cache service and a different datum.
IoCaching, using HST-03
Bonus points for knowing what HST is. Hehehe.

As Stunod said... a blog is a Web Log. Basically a place for someone to record their thoughts while allowing the masses to read along. Check out the entry at Everything2.

Most caches don't require specialized info be supplied to the owner.
Are you doing all virtuals and offsets?

On the lines of not putting caches in the obvious spot, another option is to place the cache in a place that has an overabundance of 'obvious spots'. Such as an old stone wall with numerous holes and cracks, an area with many trees that are fallen or hollowed, etc.
When we hide our caches we almost always create fake concealed spots within a 50 foot radius. It just keeps things interesting. I agree on the notion that I don't want to walk 3 miles and then have to search alongside a cliff or an insanely small cache. Anything more than a mile walk I want some nice trinkets to paw through. I love the urban microcaches though. It's all about thinking like other cachers and having enough stealth to not alert the muggles to your intentions.

Colors work in some instances. Use an RGB color matching chart to find something that works with the other colors.

I'd love a headlamp but I've found they don't put out the amount of light I'd like. I tried one that The Leprechauns let me borrow and I really liked it in close proximity, but it requires a "side arm" flashlight as well. I use a Porter Cable 869. Check it out here.

easiest and most standard compliant is by way of style definition. Use the following to change background
<style type="text/css"><!-- body { background-image: url(//domain/images/image.jpg); } --></style> -
I use Avery Name Badges. 8 to a page, 50 pages in a package. I use a laser printer at work rather than an inkjet printer since the inkjets tend to run if they get damp.

I'm not a paying subscriber (yet) and I've added one to my page...
All ya hafta to do is go to "My Cache Page" and click on "Change your account information". In that section there is a part that says you need to upload pictures. GO ahead and upload one, then the profile picture dropdown will contain any pictures that you have uploaded. Pick it from the list and there ya go.

Same thing happens to me.
I log in and use the remember me checkbox. I go to my profile page where it says I am logged in. I click on 'filter finds' and it takes me to the caches nearest my home coordinates, but it now says I am logged out. I click on login and I login again using the remeber me box. I go back and everything is fine.
I've come up with the same results testing on the following platforms and browsers:
Safari 1.0 beta 2 (v74) on Mac OS X 10.2.6
Camino 0.7 (build 2003030613) on Mac OS X 10.2.6
Mozilla 1.4rc2 on Mac OS X 10.2.6
Firebird 0.6 on Windows 2000
Mozilla 1.4rc2 on Windows 2000

Depends on my mood and how much the picture needs to be edited.
For resizing and color management I use Photoshop 7 (on OS X of course)
For just rotating and redeye stuff I use the built in functions in iPhoto.
At work on Windows XP I use Photoshop and on my linux box I use GIMP.
Any or all of these get the job done, the best one that is almost photoshop and is still free is the GIMP.

The hardest one to find that I've done is PA Turnpike #2:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=65113
The cache is located inside an adandoned turnpike tunnel. The gimmick is that the tunnel crests in the middle so you can't see the light at the other end. It is the darkest place I've ever been. The tunnel is about 2 miles long and *cold*.
Hardest so far (only 40 finds right now), but also my favorite so far.
