Does Dr. Loppitoff perform both loppitoffomys and addadicktomys?

 

Just be careful what doctor you go to....

(and you probably shouldn't honk even if you know where this is...)

 

That's a riot! :D I guess you shouldn't put Cialis in your Gatorade! :o

 

Whuts that round, stickery thingy down in the rocks?

Not sure but it must be chilly down there! :)

You might want to really careful when you walk around that area or you get pricked! :D

Wow! :blink:

 

What lesson of yours will teach me how to do that?!?

The good news is that everything you need to know is covered in the posted lessons. Well, that and a tad of imagination. Of course it helps to be inspired by the Geobabes. As you can see they do the darndest things.

 

Here's a starter kit. First y' must get rid of the car.

Dave, I think you need to change the name of this thread to "This Just Out!" ;):DB):D

ae7d6ed2-19b9-4537-8ac9-cf23b9b41c6c.jpg

It's interesting to see the contrast in the photography posted on this thread...

You guys are posed so nicely along the river while in a previous shot Russ is raising hell in the desert!

This one of Russ cracks me up everytime I look at it! Way to go Russ!! B)

 

Oh yeah...nice photos Dave! :P

GREAT motorhome. We just got a brand spanking new motorhome ourselves...however, can't figure out how to post the picture here. :(

 

I can't wait till I retire....Looking forward to traveling all over the place in our motorhome. I've got a few years to wait though. Bummer. You'll have to post pictures of your travels.....at least you've figured out how to post pics here. :huh:

On the positive side there's probably a new model on the market. So glad that you didn't crunch yourself.

 

Let me see now, one crunched truck, one crunched PDA, and one crunched pair of sunglasses. That leaves your cell phone, your GPSr, and your laptop to go. Maybe a new thread is in order for crunched Geocaching equipment.

 

... but are y' havin' fun?

See now, if you had bought that from REI for $199 instead of on E-Bay for $29, then you'd be able to take it back and get a new one for "free!" :lol:

 

Actually my company bought me that one so it was free! It was that latest model when I got it. Unfortunately the replacement won't be free. :laughing:

You hear right. I will have a brand new Red Rubi this week. :)

Dang! any openings for an old, out-of-date, fixed-income engineer in the rocket-science bidness?

I could be your Wally.

I'm afraid not - but if their warranty is all it's cracked up to be, I'd probably pay an extra $100 to buy my next GPSr there. It would have been nice to simply trade my 60cs in for a 60csx! :)

I still find it hard to believe that they would do that. Have you talked to them directly and been told they would. If so, is it a one time thing?

No, and I find it hard to believe too. However, I did take one of our kids's bikes back and traded it in for a new one. Of course, they had recalled the first one and we'd only bought it a month before but... :P But it was on one of the SD threads here that I first heard about their generous warranty coverage, so hopefully that person(s) will chime in with their real world experience.

 

On edit: Here's their warranty - seems pretty open-ended:

 

"If you're ever dissatisfied with an item, you may return or exchange your REI.com purchases at any REI store or through mail order."

How is that 60csx?! :) P.S. It's neat how when I copied and paste the text from the REI web site into my post, the links embedded in it stayed intact!

Bummer. That is a painful picture to look at because it looks like the same model Palm I have. :P Now you can add your story and picture to the Palm Graveyard.

 

A few years ago, I found a hard metal case for my Palm -- for cheap -- at BigLots! Since I have dropped the Palm a few times while juggling it, my walking stick, and the GPSr, I have been very thankful for that now-dented and scratched case.

 

The good news is, you can get a new Palm on eBay for a relatively-small investment -- less than an insurance deductible for replacing more expensive units.

In the past two weeks I've set up paperless caching for a neighbor and for a relative. Both of them bought a Garmin 60CSx GPSr. One problem is that GSAK hasn't been updated to support the modified USB protocol of the CSx. Result is that GSAK can't transfer data to the CSx. The problem is acknowledged on the GSAK web site.

That's a big OUCH! :P

You can Export your filtered caches from GSAK to Mapsource format, then open that file in Mapsource and send the caches from Mapsource to the CSx.

 

I did that from my laptop to fisnjack's new CSx and was suprised it worked because I thought I needed an updated USB driver.

 

It takes less than a minute to do that, and you can preview the caches on the map to make sure the filter is correct. :P

I have had the same problem with my StreetPilot 2610. Not sure why GSAK has this problem when every other program on the planet work just fine with all my GPSs including the StreetPilot -- but there it is....

 

In any case, I use the same technique as the other responders. GSAK to MapSource to StreetPilot. It's almost as fast unless you get wrapped up in studying where all the caches are in MapSource... :anicute:

The author of GPSBabel, the program that translates the .gpx files, is working on the fix. His program is what Clyde uses "under the hood" in GSAK. I think it has been hard for him to get the necessary information from Garmin in order to make the progam changes.

DaMoores, Congratulations! Now you have a Backup unit. There is something to be said for that. :anicute:

You meet the nicest people when out along the trail.

 

Honk if you know who this is.

I am pretty sure one of them is Harmon of SD Rowdies. :D

 

*edit* I know who it is now but I cheated. I have yet to meet her in person but have emailed with her a few times.
