We still use a Viewmaster.

The problem with those viewmasters is they don’t have enough new stuff. You’re stuck with slides from the 1960s. 😉

FTP by the way

Does anyone have a DVR without a subscription service? What model and how do you like it. Thinking of cutting the cord with cable. We just don’t watch TV enough.

We had 62 finds for this November. Admittedly we’re some of those strange people who kinda like winter (even though it’s not winter yet). It also helps when you live close to a large metropolitan area with numerous unfound caches. We’ve maybe cleared out most of the thousand or so closest to us, but there’s probably at least another 500 or more we haven’t found yet within 10 miles. Kim and I plan on caching on Monday, not for the numbers, but because it provides exercise (we try to get 10,000 steps/day), and it’s good for us as a couple because it’s something we can do together year round. Must dress in layers to keep warm though, and avoid hunting areas for now.

Sheesh as they say, “when it rains, it pours.” This week the soap holder yanked out of the wall in the shower, the front doorbell stopped working, and the fluorescent ceiling light in the kitchen died.

Got the soap holder thing partially fixed. After the new install cures I’ll put a topcoat of tile caulk on it. The doorbell could be the wires, the transformer, the chimes, or the doorbell button; will have to test what’s wrong. The kitchen lights I’ve already replaced the 4 tubes and a new wall switch, that didn’t do it. Looks like now I’ll have to try a new ballast.

h1o2 … only a few of my database list went into the Nuvi with name,GC#, D/T and size. Could you post a step by step instruction list on how to do it or is that what you posted on page 18? Maybe in the tech part of the forum?

Strange results! Unfortunately I can’t add any more than I already did on page 18. You might want to try a fresh PQ if what you tried to send was old.

First to post on #19 😀

I came to the realization last year that I might not ever go downhill skiing again. I’m probably going downhill fast enough! 😉

There’s more than one way to do it; but here’s how I now load caches into my automobile GPSr:
1. When in GSAK, select MACRO
2. Select Run/Manage
3. Select ONLINE MACRO INDEX
4. Search for and select NUVIFAVORITEEXPORT (there’s currently nine different Nuvi macros available; I’ve never tried the others)
5. Download NUVIFAVORITEEXPORT.GSK
6. Install/open/run the macro in GSAK while you have the desired caches listed in GSAK
7. Click OK/ignore on the popup window that says the macro won’t be updated
8. On the next popup window, select FOLDER to direct where to export the GPX file you’re about to create, and then click START
9. A new GPX file is created named NuviGeocacheFavorite.gpx, ready to be sent to your Garmin automobile GPSr.
10. Copy and paste that file into the GPX folder of your Garmin automobile GPX file.
11. Your Garmin will now have a new category on it. Select WHERE TO > FAVORITES > GEOCACHES on your automoble GPSr.
12. Rejoice and do a victory dance.

Another reason to like GSAK. I learned how to add to my non-caching automobile Garmin GPS so that it shows a category for geocaches and displays the name, GC#, D/T, and size by using the nuvifavoriteexportgpx.gsk macro. It will come in handy when driving to lots of caches on a full geocaching day. Then when I arrive at the roadside destination I can switch to my geocaching GPSr for the hike. In the past I knew how to dump a GPX file into my car NUVI GPS but it only showed the GC#’s. Now it will show all of that info at a glance as I select the next cache to drive to.

Can’t think of a better bunch of turkeys to share this sentiment with!

Thanks for the fun puzzle! 8:26
