+Squealy Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 (edited) I checked up on Floopy's stats to see what he was up to because I knew he had to be fast approaching the 3,000 mark (all by himself ). He was at 2961 this morning. Let's say he did a mild day of caching for him, 14 caches that get him up to 2975. That leaves him 25 til the big 3,000. Knowing that he caches in the AM before work sometimes, lunchtime, after work, while on the toilet and while writing under his pen name, Stephen King, when do you think he'll hit 3,000? Anyone interested in a fun wager (nothing crazy - maybe a cache container or something fun or a drink or two at the next event) post it on here - and we can work something out. Good luck, Po!!!! edit: I say the 28th! Edited August 23, 2004 by Squealy Link to comment

shanni-bugbait-wren Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 We got September 4th. Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Assuming he's not on vacation this upcoming week, I'd guess the 29th. Wonder if he has anything special picked out for 3000 or it's just one he grabs on the way to work? You all know he works about 2 miles from home right? I can't believe how many caches have been placed in those *2 miles* he travels every day to work. Go Floopy!!! Link to comment
+macatac1961 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Ditto what Dave said... Go Floopy. A wager huh? I was hoping Po would chime in with a little more data for us to work with before I lay my money down. Link to comment

+briansnat Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I guess I'm in the minority here. I bet that Stayfloopy gets an ingrown toenail that becomes severly infected. He will be out of commission for almost 4 months, at which point I will blow by him and bag my 3,000th cache! Link to comment
avroair Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 30th - that's 4.2 a day It's official! I have more posts than finds! Link to comment

He will be out of commission for almost 4 months, at which point I will blow by him and bag my 3,000th cache! The last time there was a wager, Briansnat had the closest guess. (He was off by only one hour!) Now, this is ominous. Edited August 23, 2004 by stayfloopy Link to comment
+Czarniecki314 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I'm going to say the 1st of September. Be warned, folks: Neil cheats at wagers! Link to comment
+JMBella Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 He already grabbed 9 more. I'm sticking with this sunday. He'll grab about 10 during the week, 13 on Sat. and the rest on Sun. Good luck Po! I say he'll be at 3004 by the end of the weekend. Anyone care to wager that? Link to comment

+Skully & Mulder et al. Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Just got back from vacation and saw this post. I was going to wait until Floopy actually got 3000 to submit my guess, but I'll go out on a limb now and go with Squealy and say the 28th. All the others can pay up at the next event. Neil ... we will have to share the winnings, but, we can make them pay with those drafts they were serving at the Ribs event. Link to comment

+briansnat Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 He got 2980 at my Fluffy Pink Bunnies cache yesterday, so unless he goes in a CCCooper-like run, it ain't gonna happen this weekend. Link to comment
+JMBella Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 He got 2980 at my Fluffy Pink Bunnies cache yesterday, so unless he goes in a CCCooper-like run, it ain't gonna happen this weekend. Sure he will. Lucky 13 on Saturday and at least 7 on sunday. Link to comment
+Squealy Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 so unless he goes in a CCCooper-like run, it ain't gonna happen this weekend. He's calling you out, Po. Sounds like a challenge!!! Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 He got 2981 at lunch at our 1st cache which is, honestly, 3 miles from where he works!! 19 more to go. Link to comment

+Skully & Mulder et al. Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 How do you know there aren't a bunch he found that he hasn't logged yet??? Neil - Let's keep our fingers crossed - I'm thirsty!! BTW - Are we using local time - or - Pacific time. Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 He found Brian's new Lame Roadside replacement that became active today so he's at 2982. 18 and counting! Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 As we wait to see how SF does today (and hopefully he doesn't pass out from the heat/humidity) I was wondering if there's any other individual cachers with 3000+ finds? Link to comment
+JMBella Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 How do you know there aren't a bunch he found that he hasn't logged yet??? You're thinking of Mopar. Floopy logs his finds telepathically as soon as he finds them. Link to comment
BassoonPilot Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I was wondering if there's any other individual cachers with 3000+ finds? BruceS has over 3500. Link to comment

mortonfox Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 3000!!! Squealy and Skully & Mulder win the wager! Did anyone else say 8/28? You have no idea how close it was. I logged that last cache (18th for the day) at 11:55pm. If I had taken a few minutes longer, it would have been Sunday. It was quite a day, dashing around in Western Bucks County and Montgomery County in Pennsylvania. I hit a number of snags (including a yellow jacket attack) that could have derailed my plans but ultimately, I prevailed. Link to comment
