Wow, I'm impressed ... thanks. Usually I e-mail something like "Thanks for moving my travel bug along its journey" but perhaps you witty ones can come up with something better :unsure:

Thanks for moving my travel bug along its journey - Princess Toadstool

 

Translates to:

 

Dank für das Verschieben meiner Spielraumwanze entlang seiner Reise - Prinzessin Toadstool

 

This translates back to:

 

Owing to for shifting my clearance bug along his journey princess Toadstool

 

This is why I only use Babelfish to get a rough idea of what was said.

So you may want to get something better from someone that speaks German! :rolleyes:

I may be able to recover the hard drive if you still have it and have not reused it.  The data is most likely still there.  Let me know.

Any good with hard drives that hard locked? My dad has one that no longer spins.

Nope. If there is no power to the drive, I can not get to the data. I do not have a clean room to safely recover the information, nor that level of experience recovering.

Meine Deutsche ist nicht so gut, aber es sagt...

 

Take me with you, I'm so lonely.

OK, you can also come with me.

 

(more or less...)

 

For a response you might try:

 

"Mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist von den Aalen voll."

 

(Sorry, I read German better than I speak it...) :unsure:

 

In all seriousness, you can probably respond "auf Englisch". Most Germans speak it reasonably well. Far safer than relying of the translation skills of this bunch!!! :rolleyes:

My hovercraft is full of eels.

(Anyone?)

I've always been partial to, "My lower intestine is full of spam."

Lovely spam wonderful spam ...

I know the German word for constipated: Farfrompoopin! :blink:

I thought it was: "This TB smells like a musty underground drainage tunnel!"  :blink:

That would be something like "Diese reise Wanze riecht wie ein modrig unterirdisch Abflusstunnel."

 

Ok, so my last suggestion for a response wasn't so good. Perhaps this would be better:

"Wenn ich sagte "Deine reise Wanze schön war", würdest du es gegen mich halten?" ;)

Y' want fries with that?

Wollen Sie Pommes frites damit?

 

(No that last word doesn't mean "d**n it"... :blink: By the way, did you know that the forum software automagically translates d**n into "dadgum"?

 

Changing the subject in a vain attempt to keep this a caching-related thread...

 

It occurred to me to wonder what "cache" was auf Deutsch. I tried Google, which came back with "Pufferspeicher". Well, this means "buffer memory" -- which only means "cache" only if you are a computer geek. I tried my dictionary and got "Versteck" -- meaning a hiding place. Seems reasonable. But when I browsed a few German cache pages I found that "Cache" seems to be the preferred choice and Versteck was occasionally used.

 

Other useful German words that I learned while browsing:

Cachemobil -- geomobile

Nachtcache -- night cache

Nichtfinder -- one who DNF's

Cacherausrüstung -- cacher equipment

Muggel -- muggle

Finalkoordinaten -- ground zero

Schnell gecacht und geloggt -- cache and dash

Die obigen Koordinaten sind unbedeutend -- The above coordinates are unimportant

 

Anyone up for a caching trip to Germany? ;)

Interesting! My oldest son would become a cacher in a heartbeat if I offered to take him to Germany. I would love to go someday but would definitely want to go at the end of September for Octoberfest! ;)

Howdy all, I need a little help for one of my TBs last seen in the Geo-Rock-tober Fest. The TB is

Boomer and he still shows as being logged into the event cache.

 

If anyone knows who picked him up I would appreciate a log so I know where Boomer is really at. I'm sure he is not still at the event. At least I hope not as he is probably too drunk to know how to get anyplace by this time.

 

Thanks for any help you can give me on this one.

Boomer is indeed a small boomerang.  It is about six inches long if that helps anyone recall where it is now.

Looking at the logs, it looks as if the following happened...

 

1) Glenn72 picked it up from the GeoPicnic with the intention of moving it.

2) Dr. Boggis did a virtual grab.

3) Dr. Boggis did a virtual drop back at the GeoPicnic.

 

The result of this transaction is that:

a) Glenn72 has the physical Boomer but doesn't have it his inventory.

B) Boomer shows up as still being at the picnic, but isn't really.

 

I suggest contacting Glenn72 to see if he still has it or if he dropped it somewhere without logging it (which he might have done before noticing that it wasn't in his inventory...if so, it makes it hard to log since he no longer has the tag number.)

 

Good Luck!

Following up on the last...I found the following log for "END" (GCJ5KM):

November 11 by glenn72 (293 found)

Found with Moonboat at 11:30pm...first leg was too difficult for my simple mind . Left Boomerang TB, but forgot to log the number (oh well). Low level fog made it quite an eerie place...

There have been no finds on this cache since Nov11. I suspect that this is where Boomer resides.

So look, whenever you want to use the fahrt word on the Forum just post "PW." We'll all understand as in "PW= PhartWord." Gosh knows he wont mind 'cause he's actually bottling the stuff.

Hi Snake and Rooster! I assume your caching name is after the Chinese New Year animals so I had a question....if I was born in early January then my animal would fall back to the previous year...right? So I think I'm a rat! Hey that didn't come out quite right! ;) So my wife and I would be Rat and Tiger! :lol:

Has anyone found any cool geocaches lately?

Depends on how you define "cool"...

 

I found Slime City today. "getwetsd" thought it was cool but that's not the word I would use... :lol:

 

Christmas Card Lane was pretty cool, but we must be the only ones who hadn't already done it. :P

 

TT's MTRP Nuisance Cache #4: TCD was cool in a wickedly sadistic sort of way. ;)

Technically you are correct. The Chinese new year doesn't begin on January 1st. You would have to go back and see when Chinese New Years was in the year you were born. I'd only bother checking if you have an animal that sucks and you might end up with something more cool, like a dragon. :P

I hope to make it out there some time this week. :ph34r:

What night you thinkin of going?

I can't say, we aren't good at planning things for ourselves... So far we hoped on going last Sat, Sun, and Mon night.... we still haven't made it yet so we are hoping tonight... Do you have a night you would like to go?

 

I like Christmas Light displays even without caches. My plan is to go to that cache and then Clairemont, Rancho San Diego, and finally El Cajon to see the different displays (maybe even stop by Point Loma). If anyone knows any other good displays, I am always willing to add to my list. I am also willing to go back if others want someone to go with them to see the lights.
