San Diego Congratulations Thread

[+The Fat Cats]

Hey gang, congratulations are in order!

 

 

Baldy & Goldilocks claimed their thousandth find yesterday

and they are both relieved and proud to make it to such an

important milestone. Sandy and I worked ourselves silly

pushing them over the top with their personal-best Geocach-

ing day of twenty-seven finds.

 

They started Geocaching by using the SD Rowdies account

way back in 2001 while vacationing near Mt. Shasta. Here's

a couple that met and married as members of the U.S. Air

Force. Both retired, sorta, Baldy is a Stanford engineering

graduate and professional trombonist; go figure. Goldilocks

spent years as a Physical Therapist for Kaiser and still does

so part time because Baldy is mean and won't let her retire.

 

The story that will get your attention is that while in the Air

Force Goldilocks dated Ken Mattingly, backup astronaut for

the ill-fated Apollo 13 misson and then Command Module

Pilot for Apollo 16. In the end it was Baldy that beat Ken

Mattingly to the alter and married Goldilocks. That should

give you a good idea of his strong points.

 

So, puh-lease, log on and give a big cheer to

one-thousand finds for this strang but lovely couple.

 

(If you fail to congratulate them properly I'll be watching

your photos for unbunched-sock violations.)

 

 

Well, we definitely don't want to be sited for any unbunched-sock violations, so....

 

To a strange but lovely couple, Congratulations!!!

WoooooooHoooooooooooooo!!!!

By the way, in the above long-winded tribute to Baldy &

Goldilocks I left a hanging-chad sort of issue with regard

to the actual strong-point that caused Goldilocks to opt

for Baldy rather than Ken Mattingly in marriage.

 

What inquiring minds surely wanted to know is that it

was Baldy's strong yet flexible trombone-lips that won

the hand of the lovely bride.

[+boysnbarrie]

I hardly know where to begin ... but I keep thinking about the trombone lips thing. Harmon, you sure do have a way with words .

 

Conga-rats to James on hitting 4K. That seems so out of reach for a newbie like me, but I've been surprisin' myself lately. Looks like you picked a great spot for your milestone, too. Woo hoo!

[+Let's Look Over Thayer]

What inquiring minds surely wanted to know is that it

was Baldy's strong yet flexible trombone-lips that won

the hand of the lovely bride.

Speaking as someone who knows his way up and down the slide, ya gotta watch out for those trombonists...

 

The Fellow That Played the Trombone

Now, the other night I took my wife down to a Music Hall.

And ever since that blooming night it has been her downfall.

She sat beside the bandsman, and he filled her with delight,

The fellow that played the trombone, he stole my wife that night.

 

With his rum-she-ra-ra, rum-she-ra-ra, rum-she-ra-ra-day,

The fellow that played the trombone, he stole my wife away,

He pulled that long thing in and out, he made her feel so gay,

He really tickled her fancy with his rum-she-ra-ra-day.

(an old Music Hall tune...)

James and Barrie,

 

Love it when right-thinking people join in on the fun. You two

seem to have a fine grasp of what trombone-lips can mean

to a woman.

 

Sure would be nice if Goldilocks would log on and give us more

of an insider's view on Baldy's strong yet flexible trombone-lips.

 

From a man's point of view it's not the lips, rather, it's the

trombone spit-valve that comes to mind when a trombonist

begins to pull "that long thing in and out." (Can we say that

here?) In two words ... dis-gusting!

 

Rum-she-ra-ra,

Harmon

SD Rowdies

 

p.s. Barrie,

 

Thank you for the compliment on my "way with words."

I've heard other views on that same issue.

[+Baldy & Goldilocks]

Hi, This is Goldilocks here. Harmon is badgering me to reply back about Baldy's Trombone lips. ------- Yes, those strong firm trombone lips and great breath support weighed heavily in my decision, but also Baldy had a whole head of hair at that time and Ken Mattingly was already bald at age 30.------ had I only known what the future would bring------sigh------I ended up with bald anyway---still great lips and breath support though!!

Now-- back to Harmon----I have been trying to congratulate him on his 4000th find. I placed his handsome body in four unique settings where Baldy and I and sometimes Harmon and Sandy have found caches. Harmon has been my mentor in photo-editing for one year and I am finally having fun with it. However----I cannot figure out how to get the pictures on this site ----- His instructions have been less than clear---so if he wants to see himself with great words of praise and revealing insights about his character ,he is going to have to help me out-----hint, hint---- That is all for now--- Sincerely, Goldilocks

O sure, so now you are on her side I suppose.

 

Look what happened after I spent my time teaching Goldilocks to handle image editing.

 

 

I swear, that girl never listens to me. I spent hours trying to teach her how to

put a photo on a Forum thread; I said, just put double-sticky tape on the back

of the print and stick it to your computer screen when you are browsing the

Forum thread.

 

Sheesh! ... my favorite flower is Morning Glory by the way. Thank you Goldilocks

you make me proud.

 

One more time ... let's hear it for Harmon!

I remember meeting this guy at a Valhalla overlook cache for the 1st time four years ago. Me, being a naive white girl from Vermont, wondered what a Chuy! would look like! John and I always had bets who would get FTF on new caches. John always chose Chuy! and I always chose Night Hunter ( we didn't know either of them yet). I think John's pick may have passed my pick, but NH is still a legend ! Congrats Chuy!
