What does it mean?

I see on logs

 

"On-on! No blow."

I tried searching the forum but it wouldn't let me search for those words.

It's not a universal term so it's hard to tell without some context. It could have something to do with the theme of the cache, the finder's or the CO's name or something else entirely. Post the GC number of a where you read this.

Also, you might want to edit a few of your logs on The Old Swimming Hole, you've logged it 8 times!

(Not surprising with the servers problems recently! )

Here's one page with logs as the OP says. The logs here seem to be referring to the Cache Owner "NoBlowH3" who uses "On-On!" in the cache description, so I'm guessing "On-On!" is a regional term (of enthusiasm?) or in-joke. You could ask the Cache Owner who might know what it means.

I'm kind of partial to the Hash House Harriers origin of the phrase:

 

The end of a trail is an opportunity to socialise, have a drink and observe any traditions of the individual chapter. When the hash officially ends, many members may continue socialising at an "on-after", "on-down", "on-on-on", "apres", or "hash bash", an event held at a nearby house, pub, or restaurant.

 

The HHH, having it's beginnings in the 1930's, is described as, ""a drinking club with a running problem,".

Some cachers seem to use a short catchphrase for their online logs. A local cacher signs nearly all of their online logs with only the words "IN-N-OUT".

Thanks everybody for pointing out all the duplicate logs.

I'll have to look closer but I did not see any duplicates for these caches.

NoBlowH3 is a local cacher who uses "On-On" as his catch phrase.

Another definition from the hashers.

 

"On On!" is said when you are following marks, so that others in the vicinity know you are on trail and can make their way to trail as well. Don't say "On On" if you are not following hash marks.

Also for collaboration I found the same signature on this page:
