Told him that I would mention it on our Forum. Harmon SD Rowdies Wow...where was he when I paid $400 for an Oregon I don't even know how to use and hate? Quote

+SD Rowdies Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Hmmm. I might be interested in trying one of those. More info please. His name is Fred. Call him, at (619) 562-6046. Make sure to tell him that I told you to ask for a senior discount even though you're just a kid. He's a golfer and he only used the 60CSx trying to improve his golf game. Go figure. His best golf bag heave was thirty-seven feet into a pond. If that's not enough he's a photographer and amatuer image editor ... you know what that sort of person is like I'm quite sure. O yeah, if you wind up going over to his place make sure to have him ride you around in his golf cart. Also make sure to meet his lovely bride Eva. Sounds like you can also get a deal on an Oregon from Jodi but Oregons are only for recluses. When Jodi "hates" something she has a way of taking care of the problem; you know, like WWOTOIB wise.

Yer fan, Barrie aka: boysnbarrie Barry, Sorry, hate to disappoint you, I misplaced the decimal point ...should be only 2.345567 Liked me. Truth is I'm pretty happy with that Facebook Like-count ... just one off from Pi more or less. If I'm Liked by you then I can do circular calculations with it. You know, more or less. By th' way, how are you feeling about being the proud owner of a Garmin 60CSx? Here's a funny story that pertains to your transaction ... Fred, the fellow that offered the unit, dropped by my place to pick up your $200.00. When he arrived I was on the rooftop of my house with a crew of roofers there to rework a roofing problem. Looking down at Fred I withdrew the folded pack of ten twenty-dollar bills from my wallet and tossed it off of the roof toward Fred, in a slight westerly breeze mind you. The twenties deployed one at a time to become a squadron of spinning Maple-leafish helicopters, fluttering along above Fred's outstretched arms. Credit to Fred, at his age he let not a single twenty hit the ground. He had a lot to say while scrambling for the money but I didn't catch all of it. The crew of roofers watched and laughed heartily. Once Fred had all of your twenties clutched in his hand he shouted up to the roofing crew "Be here on Fridays ... Harmon always throws money from his rooftop but only on Fridays." My hope is that Fred and Jodi never meet one another and start sharing stories about my behavior. Furthermore this truthful tale has nothing whatever to do with Shirley Temple as Dorothy of Oz fame. It was a pleasure for me to bring seller and buyer together and hope for your continued pleasure with your new GPS receiver. Wouldn't it be remarkable if I had been able to deliver the unit to you in the way Fred received the cash? Your pal, Harmon SD Rowdies Edited January 12, 2011 by SD Rowdies Quote
+Team Reid Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 In watching the news this AM we saw a story about a guy who flew his small plane around the world twice, but also noticed atleast part of Team Reid in the photos they showed of him visiting at Gillespie field. It was fairly early and admittedly it was a story that grabbed our attention, so we may have gotten this wrong, but thought it worthy to question if there was indeed a geocache on this guys plane. Team Reid's nephew Connor was there for the landing. He's taking lesson and flies out of Gillespie field. Sort of like a flier with the most hours and a flier who has the least hours at the field. No cache news that I know of. Thanks, but this was really just a heads-up for our old buddy Harmon, since everyone knows he never looks to facebook. What a great time we had at Gillespie on Saturday! I'll see if I can link it. Connor is quoted in the article and is even in one of the pictures! http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/jan/08/pilot-gannon-closes-book-decade-long-global-odysse/ Robyn Quote
+boysnbarrie Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Statistics from most recent issue of IEEE Spectrum (3 Feb 2011), which rated Social Networking #2 in its list of Top 11 Technologies of the Decade (Smart Phones were #1) "Facebook has 540 million users who spend about 700 billion minutes on the site every month; if it were a country, it'd be the third most populous in the world." By resisting the temptations of Facebook, Harmon has an extra 43 minutes each day he can devote to other pastimes ... -GD Well said Don. Thing to remember is that I gave it a try ... that lasted three days. Half of the three days was devoted to deleting the danged account. Facebook is too leaky with personal data for my taste in spite of their insincere denials. In the end it was that silly "Like" button that did me in; you know; as in, "2,345,567 people like this." O please, not for this curmudgeon. Sweet ol' Harmon SD Rowdies Harmon, ol' buddy ... I ain't one bit surprised to learn that 2,345,567 people "like" you . Shoot, who could blame em', right? Why ... I think I'm gonna go back onto Facebook right now and add myself to that one! Not sure how I missed that, but I'm gonna go find it! Yer fan, Barrie aka: boysnbarrie Barry, Sorry, hate to disappoint you, I misplaced the decimal point ...should be only 2.345567 Liked me. Truth is I'm pretty happy with that Facebook Like-count ... just one off from Pi more or less. If I'm Liked by you then I can do circular calculations with it. You know, more or less. By th' way, how are you feeling about being the proud owner of a Garmin 60CSx? Here's a funny story that pertains to your transaction ... Fred, the fellow that offered the unit, dropped by my place to pick up your $200.00. When he arrived I was on the rooftop of my house with a crew of roofers there to rework a roofing problem. Looking down at Fred I withdrew the folded pack of ten twenty-dollar bills from my wallet and tossed it off of the roof toward Fred, in a slight westerly breeze mind you. The twenties deployed one at a time to become a squadron of spinning Maple-leafish helicopters, fluttering along above Fred's outstretched arms. Credit to Fred, at his age he let not a single twenty hit the ground. He had a lot to say while scrambling for the money but I didn't catch all of it. The crew of roofers watched and laughed heartily. Once Fred had all of your twenties clutched in his hand he shouted up to the roofing crew "Be here on Fridays ... Harmon always throws money from his rooftop but only on Fridays." My hope is that Fred and Jodi never meet one another and start sharing stories about my behavior. Furthermore this truthful tale has nothing whatever to do with Shirley Temple as Dorothy of Oz fame. It was a pleasure for me to bring seller and buyer together and hope for your continued pleasure with your new GPS receiver. Wouldn't it be remarkable if I had been able to deliver the unit to you in the way Fred received the money? Your pal, Harmon SD Rowdies Wow, that sure is a coincidence! I just ate a nice piece of lemon meringue pi a few minutes ago. It was real yummy ... almost as good as PUD. Regarding the new 60CSx, I've been practicing every day, sometimes more than once a day. I reckon I'd be doing a LOT better if I'd read the manual that came with it ... but I've been too busy working on my getting better. So far, my golf game hasn't really improved much at all, and the folks at the pee wee golf course don't seem to understand why I'm fiddling with it at all. I tried to explain, even told them about Fred, but they acted like they didn't know him at all. Those folks aren't very helpful, to be honest, but I'm persevering! I sure wish you wudda taken some pictures documenting this transaction. Frankly, I'm a wee bit surprised you didn't at least get a shot of Fred scrambling for the twenties. Left your camera inside, did ya? I hate when that happens. Next time you see Fred, let him know I'm VERY happy with the GPS ... and go ahead and throw him some more twenties on Friday. Take pictures this time! Thanks for all your help, Harmon. I really appreciate all you did, and I've got just the thing to thank you properly. It's almost ready ... I'm just waiting for one more special delivery. Whoops, I hope I'm not spilling any beans! Barrie aka: boysnbarrie Quote

+boysnbarrie Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Oh wow! Thank you James!! Now I can read the manaul via my iPhone from where ever I am. Soon I'll be doing it just like all you pros! I'm really looking forward to doing it better. I'm about to do it on the Strand, so I'll have to read those 100+ manual pages with my 2x3 inch screen later in the day. Barrie aka: boysnbarrie Edited January 12, 2011 by boysnbarrie Quote

+JohnE5 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Hello All, I wanted to let you all know that I released a Wherigo cartridge playable in Balboa Park! It's not a geocache yet, just the game. It's called- "Remix:A Fremont Fairy Tale San Diego" My link It is a copy of one that was built by J2B2 commissioned by Groundspeak back when Wherigo got started. So the landmarks in the game will not be the exact landmark I have programmed it to lead you to but they will be decent analogs. My hope is that this might ignite more of an interest in the Wherigo platform and encourage others to build, like "Lets Look Over Thayer" has done with "Science Mission" (Which I still have to get) So please give it a try and I hope you have fun with it.

+secretnavy Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Hello all, well I am relatively new to geocacheing. My son and I have been doing it for about a year and a half (with time off for deployments), however I am retired from the Navy and have more time to play with. I hope to meet fellow cachers in the San Diego area, and learn from the masters. My son and I made an attempt at placing a cache which ended miserably do to bad neighbors, but we are collecting items for a small ammo can sized cache this summer. As I am on retirement leave and Job hunting and going to college (online), my days are free so if anyone has time to teach a young pup the tricks drop me an email secretnavy@gmail.com. Thanks and hope to meet you out there. P.S. I have a Travel Bug Decal on my Jeep so keep an eye out for me. Quote
