*** This Just In***

[+"lostguy"]

By the way, with the hot summer weather at an

end I am reaping heaps of enjoyment from the

Geocache log entries for CRSP hides.

 

Thanks to all for the entertaining log entries. I

read them with delight and always revisit those

cache pages to view posted images. I promise

that I will never, ever Photoshop a single one

of the posted images. Honest.

 

Thanks,

Sweet ol' Harmon

I am trying to figure out how to post in the forums since it's been so long. I'm also trying hard to believe Harmon but both are difficult. Love your hides in Cuyamaca Harmon, such a great area.

Wow! "lostguy" posting a Forum comment is a delightful surprise.

Thank you for posting a photo of your hiking companion. Sure hope

that she becomes an active Geocacher, any gal that can smile such

a beautiful smile while hiking Conejos Trail will be well received.

 

"This just in ..." has finally gone viral with no less than ten followers.

Makes me giddy to think of about it.

 

As mentioned before I do so enjoy the steady stream of log entries

for the Geocache hides in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Worth noting

is the quality of the log entries, actual sentences with remarks that

take me back to the days I spent placing those many containers.

 

I'm so glad that I posted photos for those hides because now it's

possible to associate log entries with the actual hidey holes and

with the surrounding scenery.

You know, that sort of thang,

There's a rumor goin' 'round that FisnJack scored his

12,000th find, and did so without a personal injury

or even a fall or stumble.

 

 

Of course he was attended as usual by his dedicated

side-kicks and care-givers Ragfoot and Dillweed not

to mention that he scored the milestone on the flank

of Japacha Peak in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.

 

Note to Self: Not too bad for an old geezer.

Note two Self: An SD Rowdies hide by the way.

Note three Self: He's been carrying that sign with him for the last six month.

That is gorgeous. I'm in NC so I have don't have the privelge to see that beautiful landscape. My grandparents would go out west and show me all the picture. She also had place mats of western scenes, all of them completely different but those red mountains are what I had always spilled my food on and I will go there one day. Thanks for the picture and an old childhood memory

Seems to me North Carolina has lots of forest

and stream scenery as well as costal. Still

western mountainous grandure is indeed very

inspiring.

 

Glad to see your log entry. Hope you drilled

back into the past pages of our "This just in"

Forum offering; especially, where I pick on

deserving Geocachers of San Diego COunty.

Here's some good news, I spoke with Jodi this week and asked

her to make a pledge to me that if ever, God forbid, I should

lose my sweet-bride Sandy that Jodi would leave John and look

after me.

 

She didn't say no! (She did in fact say a few other things that

I didn't quite catch due to my state of euphoria.)

 

So right away I took Jodi by the arm and went over to John to

fill him in on Jodi's pledge just so he knows and so that

everything will be above-board if and when this admittedly

unlikely sequence of events ever does take place.

 

Today, as you can see from the above photograph, Jodi and I

took a trial run on the agreement to work out a few minor

details of my backup plan for an adventurous elder-care

program; you know, just in case.

 

Pays to look ahead,

Heaven sakes no, but I passed my final exam and they

graduated me with diploma and tassle. Trouble is that

the diploma is written in a foreign language so that

not even Google Translator can handle it.

 

Worse yet I got so old that once I layed down in the

back seat of Splashette's tiny little car I couldn't

get back up and out to make the Geocache grabs.

 

Looking back on things I suspect that the word

"graduated" has a hidden meaning known only to the

Geobabes.

 

So it goes,

How funny, this was like seeing two DNF log entries

in-a-row on a cache. First your reaction is that the

two guys probably had a little cocktail before going

out to Geocache. Then it sinks-in that maintenance

must be done.

 

However, in this case, I was able to accomplish the

maintenance without putting my boots on or putting my

slice of coconut cream pie back into the frig'.

 

Turned out that I didn't place those photos into the

proper subfolder of my Skydrive Public Folder. My bad.

 

On the other hand I am delighted with Skydrive for a

number of reasons, mostly as an important element of

my system backup scheme. What with Skydrive, that nifty

and free Microsoft utility called SyncToy, an internal

secondary hard-drive, an external USB hard-drive, and

Adobe Lightroom my worries are over about data-loss

and O/S loss.

 

Beyond that Skydrive allows my sweet bride and I to

share very-large image and video files, and share a

large number of image files at once with ease.

 

Finally, posting that defective link caused you and John

to post the first comments I've seen on this Forum

Thread in many a day. Might be a good method to trick

lurkers into posting comments. I think that's what you

call "Bait."

Christmas morning I was surprised to find that some of my

Geocaching pals left a container on my back porch. I was

able to put the fire out before it spread to the structure.

 

The logsheet was too charred to read but nearby was a

pendant bauble with initials LLOT and some sort of bladder

thingy with table legs stickin' out all over it.

 

When I picked th' bladder thingy up for examination it made

a rude bunch of noises like, you know, a flatulent pen of

porkers.

 

If anybody can supply information about this strange event

then please, do keep it to yourself.

 

So it goes ...

Thanks Harmon! I was just about to do that when I saw your post.

 

Like the current photo series and think a TUX with your leopard 'duck 'tape as trim would work well for more formal Geocaching, such as events and camp outs. Especially the cummerbund [sic].

 

Doug 7rxc

Doug,

 

Between you and me we should be able get that ol' gal straightened out

about how t' post Forum photos. I'm lookin' forward to having a few

more of her images t', shall I say, enhance? Yeah, that's it ... enhance.

 

Trouble is that she shows signs of having the same attitude toward sweet

ol' boys like you and me that one can easily see in Jodi and Janie and a

few other Geobabes that I have th' honey-sweet pleasure t' know. Please

don't tell any one of 'em that I said any-such-a thang.

 

Ain't they all th' sweetest thangs?

 

Thanks for your encouragement for me to stick a Duck-tape tux' t'gether.

I'll give it due consideration ... maybe for the M*A*S*H III event if I

happen t' live that long, you know, Geobabes-wise.

 

So it goes,

Nice to hear from you again... alas, the crowd seems to have moved elsewhere since January.

 

Harmon mentioned a few possibilities in his more recent posts, but I didn't find them. Thanks for reminding me to look. I've had a few computer glitches recently and this is a beat up old laptop. Not great for much.

 

What have you been up to all this time? Maybe Harmon has this on a watch list or perhaps someone knows where they all went to play.
