Sluggo

Great job! After watching you hunt, I see how you got to those numbers. (You hunt sort of like a German Shorthair - That's a compliment BTW) I hunt sort of like a Ground-Sloth (no need for speed). Unknown objects are operating under intelligent control... It is imperative that we learn where UFO's come from and what their purpose is... - -Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter Director, Central Intelligence Agency 1947-1950

We had a great time at the second gathering of the East Cascades Geocaching Society Thursday December 5th. It’s hard to get people out this time of the year; most are wrapped up (no pun intended) in holiday activities. The turnout was pretty good though. Delmar Fadden stopped by briefly, TriCityGuy was there and they talked about "Steeply South" by TriCityGuy (GC9E1B) awhile. (Delmar was the first finder the very next day.) See the logs for a good story. PJnRG, yragnosluap, citrix_99301 & no screen name (spouse), and The_Mad_Cacher & Cache-napper were there too. Quartermasters showed up with two of her children somewhat later. I named the two mini-cachers Daisy and Petunia. (They are adorable!). Gee, I hope I haven’t left anyone out (Sugar and I were there of course). The group decided to meet at TriCityGuy's office (clubhouse maybe?) on Saturday and log into "Downtown Kennewick WebCam" by yragnosluap (GCB0F2) and then make a full scale assault on "Steeply South”. At that time it was unfound and TriCityGuy wanted to check on it. We talked about canceling next month’s gathering because of the holidays but everyone agreed that we should have it a week late. So, the next gathering will be on Thursday January 9th at Sterling’s in Richland. Same time (6:00 to Closing). EVERYONE IS WELCOME! I would really rather NOT believe!

I wept because I had no shoes.... Then I met a man who had no GPSr I would really rather NOT believe!

Criminal Said: quote:Some observations: 1. Markwell didn’t make up the verb usage of his name. Don’t blame him for whatever. You're right Cri, it was Sir Walter Scott who coined the term. I think it had something to do with a man not having a country or something. Breathes There the Man... From the Lay of the Last Minstrel by Sir Walter Scott Canto Sixth I Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, "This is my own, my native land!" Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned, From wandering on a foreign strand! If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no Minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonoured, and unsung. So as you can clearly see (tah dah) to Markwell is to identify one who has become lost or ungrounded (which can really screw up a chip, the ungrounded part I mean). I would really rather NOT believe!

I've warned you before, now I'll warn you again... NO MORE BLACK HELECOPTER JOKES! If you don't stop it... You-know-who will come down there and do You-know-what! The last time someone disobeyed, we made them watch all 20 hours of "Taken". (They were never the same, one of them even turned into a Mike Skinner fan). I would really rather NOT believe!

All, It’s time for the monthly gathering of the East Cascades Geocaching Society. We hold these therapy sessions on the First Thursday of every month. That would be 12/05/02 this month. The gathering is held at Sterling’s Restaurant in Richland (N 46 deg 16.724 min; W 119 deg 16.403 min) from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm. Last month (our first meeting) we had people drifting in from about 5:45 until 6:45, so we all left around 8:00. We can stay until 9:00 if we want to. Bring yourself, your spouse, your non-geocaching neighbors or anyone else you would like. Sugar and I will eat diner while we are there, but you are welcome to just sit and talk. Most likely we will discuss the "Yakima Delta Cache-In Trash-Out Event" we are planning for Earth Day this spring, geocaching, politics, why TriCityGuy is so funny looking, why Sluggo is so handsome, and why Sugar is so sweet. There also might be group cache hunt planned for Saturday but I'll let TriCityGuy tell you about that. If you plan to come, drop me an e-mail telling me so. If you say you are coming and then can’t come, that’s OK; it just helps if I can tell the manager how many we are expecting. The opposite is true also. If you don’t let me know you are coming, then decide to come, then come on anyway. Looking forward to seeing you there, Sluggo I would really rather NOT believe!

Ikayak Said quote:AR, can you also add a large note on the vending machine telling us whether or not you are at work or out geocaching? That way we will know it is updating for sure. Yeah AR, let us know when your out geocaching... That way we will know when to break in Bassoon Pilot Said: quote:Acceptable Risk stole all the personal information off their computer and immediately sold it to an illegal alien. Be carefull about references to aliens, we are a proud species and sometimes very sensitive. I would really rather NOT believe!

Markwell and I found "Cameron Woods Fairy Cache by Mike & Stef" in Iowa. Now, I'd say that's pretty good since we live 2300 miles apart! BTW Markwell, I see from your log at the cache that you found the stinging nettles. I was wearing shorts and itched and stung all the way to Clinton, IL. I would really rather NOT believe!

After I re-read your post and looked at your stats, it's obvious that you aren't a newbie. My appologies. Please disregard. I would really rather NOT believe!

What you should see is a tab that says; "Log Your Visit". After you open it, you can select "Found it" from the log type tabs. I would really rather NOT believe!

Misguided one, Don't say anything about the you-know-what to you-know-who or our you-know-who will cause you to you-know-what. I would really rather NOT believe!

Hmmmm.. Maybe that explains the funky smell in this thread. This Thread I would really rather NOT believe!

There is a certian percentage of people in every society who are not "part-of-the-team". Ignore the coments, Notify the Geocaching.com Team (in case you have a future problem, and delete the post. Check on the cache (or ask a local to check on it) just in case it really is "Not There)and e-mail the results to trotty66 (the D***head) so he can rest at ease knowing he "went off" at a fellow geocacher fo reasons beyond your control or for no reason at all. Oh S**t.. I'll e-mail him myself.. I would really rather NOT believe!

You must have gotten distracted... This is what I saw on the web cam a few minutes ago... I guess this explains how they could reach up so high. Oh well, not to worry, they usually only perform cattle mutilations and you don't have cattle in a computer store.... that is.... unless you sell Gateway Computers. You don't have any Gateways in the shop DO YOU !!! OH MY GOD... THEY'RE AFTER THE GATEWAYS!!! I would really rather NOT believe!

I took a photography course about 20 years ago and the instructor said;" Most newbies want to know what is the best camera to get for XXXX Photography. As long as it's a SLR it really doesn't matter. By the time you get experience, you will know what you want and need". I think the same is true for GPSrs. They are all the same, and they are all different. As you gain skill you will use any strengths and work around any weaknesses that the unit has. By the time you've been at it for about a year, you'll know what you need and want. I would really rather NOT believe!

Boy do I feel left out. My Garmin GPS III Pilot wasn't even mentioned. And it has so many "Hiker-friendly" features like: An Emergency buttion to tell you where the 8 nearest airports (that have the criteria you set) are.24 Megs of data from the Jepson Data Base. (That tells you who has jet fuel, rent-a-cars, resturants, etc. on field. A horizonal situation indicator. A "time-to-glide" screen that helps yo plan your decent. And many more features like "lapse rate", "fuel burn", "range" and other E6-B functions" So, I guess I'd better stop using it for hiking. I would really rather NOT believe!

Hey Criminal, How many points for this? Huh? I would really rather NOT believe!

Just in case it's not clear from previous post it will be 12/05/02 (First Thursday of each month).

Okay folks, we're doing it again. 6:00 pm Sterling's in Richland. Come one, come all. Everyone welcome.

My personal situation has gotten so bad that I'm having to fake PREMATURE geocaches!

hey ikayak, Nice little kitty cat.

Sometimes when I say "Porch furniture" it sounds like an obscene phrase. Porch furniture,Porch furniture,Porch furniture,Porch furniture (See what I mean.. But you know?... It's doesn't sound as vulgar as "perch forniture"!

True Story: I was in a meeting yesterday (at the Super Secret Government Laboratory) and someone asked me to "pull the thread on that issue". I said; "Oh, you want me to Markwell it?"...... I got 15 of the strangest looks I have ever had. I will probably have to go through a (Random) "Fitness-for-duty test" soon.

If I post to an ignored thread or a thread in the process of being ignored: 1) Does it rise to the top kinda like a "Bubble sort"? 2) Can I still claim it (in the database) as a post? (And increment my (Post to forums count by 1) 3) Should I request that Jeremy add an ignored post count to my profile for every thread that I don't post to?

Gwho, I don't know who you think you are, but get out of my life. I will regard any thread I want to. It is none of your business which threads I regard and which ones I disregard. The only reason you would tell me to disregard it, is to cover-up for your own insecurity. Now, I know half of the geocachers out there will come in on your side. They will say; "It's for the good of all geocachers to disregard it" or "If we don't disregard it, who will?" or maybe even; "It's just one little thread, only one line, why can't we bend the rules a little?'. Well I say; "POPPYCOCK!" That's exactly how our freedoms are lost, one turned head, one deaf ear, one blind eye, and then all is lost. So the rest of those spineless lackeys out there can disregard your thread if they want to, but for me its; "Give me regard or give me death!" You can have my keyboard when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers!
