+ThePolarBear Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Something funny that I got in my e-mail today: The bathtub test During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

+Miragee Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 :D Changing the subject . . . Fisnjack and I made a trip to Rancho Bernardo yesterday to find a couple of "Historic" caches. On the way, we stopped to find "Berry, Berry Close." We didn't even realize the canyon had burned when we started the short walk to the final. At GZ we found two containers . . . Our "little" hike to "Old Glory Fletcher Point" and "Number One Son was about six miles long from a cul-de-sac on High Mesa. The ammo cans for both those caches survivied the firestorm. On the way, we found the exposed and scorched container for "Mount Saint Michel. Poor thing got badly burned and the contents melted . . . Any other caches hidden in that park, unless they were in a rockpile, covered with rocks, probably didn't survive . . . Quote Link to comment

+TrailGators Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 FYI. In case you missed it. It would be cool to have a San Diego family on the TV show! Who's gonna do it?! Groundspeak received the following email. With their permission, here is the re-post. If you are interested, please contact Julia using the info below. Greetings ~ My name is Julia Jenkins and I am a casting producer for ABC families hit reality show 'Wife Swap.' We are currently casting for our fourth season and we are looking for FAMILIES THAT HAVE A PASSION FOR GEOCACHING/TREASURE HUNTING. We want to feature a family that lives and breathes adventure. Families that appear on the show receive $20,000 as a thank you. And if you refer a family that appears on the show you would receive $1000. The premise of Wife Swap is simple: for seven days, two wives from two different families with very different values exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover what it's like to live a different family's life. It's a fun social experiment and a great way to see your family in a whole new light. Here at 'Wife Swap' we look for a two-parent home with at least one child between the ages of 6 and 17 living at home full time. If you are interested, please email me and tell me a little about your family and then I will be in touch. Or if you would like to refer a family, please email me their contact information and I will be in touch. Thanks! -- Julia Jenkins Associate Casting Producer RDF Media USA 1790 Broadway 11th Floor, NY, NY 10019 P: 646.747.7941 E: wifeswap.julia@gmail.com Personally, I will be looking forward to the episode.

+LeoGeo Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Howdy, fellow SD Cachers, I'm releasing a series of five GeoWoodstock5 Poker Geocoins in different caches, all headed towards the "Royal Flush" cache in Calgary to see if they can make a royal flush there. Some of them will be released here in America's Finest City, and a couple of others I'll take to the Wrong Coast over the holidays. The first one went into FlagMan's recently rejuvenated Hoyt Loop cache in Scripps Ranch today. You can search for them under "Trackables" with the phrase "Royal Flush Series", and of course you're welcome to just discover them for the icon if you like. Thanks for any northeasterly travel towards that yee-haw rodeo city on the prairie that anyone can give them! Quote Link to comment

+Eric and Hill Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I am thinking about getting a new 4WD for my Geocaching Adventures. What do you think about this guy? I don't think I could ever get stuck.... and if I came to a boulder that was too big to climb, I could just move it. Bad Azz 4WD! Quote Link to comment
+Let's Look Over Thayer Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Colorado™ 400t 1st Quarter, 2008 Part Number: 010-00622-45 Suggested Retail Price: $ 642.84 USD Take on the trails with Colorado 400t. This rugged, advanced handheld is packed with detailed topographic maps for all your hiking adventures not to mention 3-D map view, a high-sensitivity receiver, barometric altimeter, electric compass, SD card slot, picture viewer and color display. Colorado™ 400c 1st Quarter, 2008 Part Number: 010-00622-61 Suggested Retail Price: $ 642.84 USD Whether you're sailing the high seas or hiking the backcountry, Colorado 400c is your all-in-one adventure guide. Preloaded with BlueChart g2 coastal charts, Colorado is made with the saltwater mariner in mind. From what I've been reading, there is also supposed to be an "Inland" version (Colorado 400i?) as well... I'm very curious about what maps are included in the 400c. If it truly includes (which it might) the full set of G2 coastal maps, that'd be about $1300 worth of maps (at their aftermarket list price). All for the low low price of $600 and a free GPSr thrown in... Seems to me that Garmin could be charging a lot less for their maps... By comparison, the Topo version contains only about $950 of map data (at the Garmin aftermarket list price). Quote Link to comment
