      Also its about time that I got a climbing cache out there requiring some climbing gear. Over 480 hides and almost 7 years caching and finally got it hidden. I only have a climbing reference in my cache handle. It was starting to look like if I had a car reference in my name but wasn’t into cars, a movie character reference but no hides themed after that character, handle after a location but of a place I’m not from or visited. I couldn’t let it happen any longer. Would’ve loved a bigger wall but I’ll take what I can find and it was not where I would’ve expected. Plus hope to have another one in the works šŸ™‚

        FTP Monday 9/9 almost already a third of the way through September 😮

        Wow you have been busy Noonan!

        I see you marked the needs archive log on the cache so it is now flagged for the reviewers. Wis Kid hopefully will do his purging before pulling the new LCG list for us. If not it will be reviewed eventually.

          As for the 100,000pages, currently not showing that for me (we will see when I post). That might of happened if you clicked on one of the links for one of my earlier test posts. I was running some repair scripts last night that would be correcting some of the different counts if they were off in the sense of # of posts in a thread, etc.

          It’s still showing 100,000+ pages for me. See attachment.

          Huh I see where you are talking about, rarely look at that view as I always am looking at the most recent posts/topics. Looks like some count didn’t work right when running some repairs. I’ll try and take a look later this week. But it appears that all is fine when on the topic thread but understand the inconvenience and will work to get that fixed soon.

            okay i lied another test

            LOL!

            I have to admit, I chuckled at this one, too. Thanks for all you do, MTCLMBR, and feel free to post all the tests you need to.

            Yes, thank you!

            Thanks guys, just gotta love when you think you are close and have an idea and then it isn’t it at all.

              FTP for 7/30 Night of fun begins šŸ™‚ Sometimes why do I have to be such a night owl. But at times it can be handy.

                I did another dummy account for myself again. And I got the email with username and password info so it is working.

                -It has not been uncommon that the website emails have landed in peoples Junk/Spam folders so I would recommend checking there.
                -Second guess would be accidental mis-typing of email into the form.
                -Or (off hand don’t know the answer) not sure if a problem would happen if that email is used on an existing account :/ but currently I am thinking that would be an unlikely cause. Typically either its in spam or mistyping.

                      Signed on our house last night, woot! woot! oh wait now I have to do the maintenance……. Oh well, time to grow the number of caches around Mazomanie and Black Earth area. Will be interesting to see how frequented they may get though.

                      Our house has turned out to be a complete lemon. The 5-year-old furnace broke this past weekend (when it was in the 40s) (the furnace guy saw scorch marks inside the guts when he first opened it, clearly the gases were leaking, then he saw a hole and realized it was leaking gas into the house). Oven doesn’t work. Countertop range doesn’t work. Why? There isn’t a junction box for either of them, just a bunch of stray wiring. Dishwasher is full of mold, probably because it wasn’t used and sat with moisture in it for who knows how long (did the previous owner have dishes to run if they couldn’t cook?).

                      We’re still moving out of our original house, doing work on the new house and wondering how we can afford two mortgage payments while doing repairs.

                      Anyone have experience where the home inspection didn’t reveal obvious problems?

                      Sorry to hear that, that does not sound like fun to deal with. Especially if you weren’t planning on it. I remember seeing one of your previous messages talking about I believe either the oven or range. Hope you are able to figure stuff out cause from the way it sounds, at least half of that should have been caught by an inspector in my opinion.

                        How often will you be moving after this?

                        Hopefully only one more time, either into the nursing home, or to my grave. I’m sick of moving haha. 3rd move in the past year alone šŸ™

                            And the map is now working on the Map tab šŸ™‚

                            I’m still working on simply finding the time to find a cache, but the new place has several lonelies close by.

                            And I hear ya. In the process of packing now to move to our new house in a couple weeks šŸ™ why is moving so much work

                              Got an email from HQ today with a Thank You for hiding along with a few stats (as I’m sure everyone else who has hidden a cache has/will get) Was fun to see though that I have had almost 60,000 finds on my 440 caches. Thats almost an average of 140 finds per cache. (Granted I’m sure most of those finds are on my Lighthouse and Windmill Geoarts) That’s a lot of smileys!!

                                My wife and I went to Memphis this weekend and St. Louis for our anniversary. We both enjoyed the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and would highly recommend going if you are ever swinging by. Plus had to like the cache hidden in plain site around the corner from the museum.

                                We’ll be in Memphis this fall and had planned to visit the museum, so thanks for the recommendation…also the mention of the nearby cache. The trip isn’t a caching trip, but there will be caches found.

                                Yup it was good and highly recommend it, tons of information just couldn’t read it all(both from time perspective and brain couldn’t take any more in haha). We went after lunch at about 2 I think and were there til they closed (don’t forget the boarding house across the street which is included with entry, wasn’t mentioned to us until we were walking out and almost didn’t go there). We only spent one day there and went to the cotton museum (it was our 2nd year anniversary, year of cotton) and the Civil Rights. Civil Rights was highly recommended by some friends for if we had time to do only one thing and it didn’t disappoint us. Would also recommend Central BBQ that is right next door to the museum as well. Enjoy your trip this fall!

                                  Whoever said moving was fun…. LIED! Just kidding I doubt anyone has said that. Started packing up the apartment again for our next move. Third Move into our forth place in about a year :/ I keep asking myself how does this happen? Well good thing we Marie Kondo’d most of our apartment this late winter.
