HOW TO CALL THE POLICE
My kind of guy !!!!!!!!!
George Phillips , an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was
going up to bed, when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in
the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window..
George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were
people in the shed stealing things.He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?”
He said “No,” but some people are breaking into my garden shed and
stealing from me.”Then the police dispatcher said “All patrols are busy. You should
lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.”George said, “Okay.”
He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police
again.“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people
stealing things from my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now
because I just shot them”, and he hung up.Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two
Fire Trucks, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips’
residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.One of the Policemen said to George , “I thought you said that you’d
shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”You might want to load web updater on your computer and makes sure you’ve got the latest firmware load on your colorado too. While there are a lot of new features added to the Oregon line, some of those have been making it to the colorado too.
Do we have any exit polls or projections? Can we see maps of which color each county is? 😆

That just gave me an idea. It could be a TRAVELING GEOCACHE!
“The Geocache that comes to you!” 🙂I could just attach a TB dog tag to the handle, and send it on it’s way. A TB with a log book and tradeable swag inside? Could it be a first?
Much like the toilet seat travel bug, its going to be near impossilble to find a cache big enough to put it in when its bigger than most regular caches. Nice idea though.
Who has the toilet seat travel bug? Last time I saw it, POC had it…

My wife uses these and really Likes them:
My wife and I used the pro version last weekend and it made a huge difference walking the icy trails. They didnt help a lot on sheer ice, but on the uneven stuff they were great.
We want to send out our congrats too! NOT only have you found a lot of caches but you have hidden a lot too.
Unfortunately, the snowflake icon does not mean winter friendly, but availabe in winter. We finally gave up sorting on that icon and just hunted them all. After caching with a few others and seeing how they do it, adding a walking stick, hammer or ice axe to your caching gear lets you get to where a cache is hidden in short order.

Firewall on, File and printer sharing, Remote Desktop and UPnP Network are only boxes unchecked in “exceptions”.My question is, could some one gain access to my computer when it’s on and I’m not monitoring it?
Could someone gain access when it’s powered down?
Do you have a wired router or are you just running off the RR modem? I remember reading somewhere with the right commands you could see all the computers in your node with RoadRunner, not sure if they fixed it or not. As others have said, a hardware firewall is an important step in security.
Cache attributes are not part of a GPX file, so that data is not in GSAK for filtering. However you can set up a PQ for the winter icon. Then when you import that into GSAk, you have to set a user defined field with something that indicates to you that the cache is winter friendly. Its a long work around but it can be done.
Last year Puzzler made the comment that with enough effort most caches are winter friendly so I took it as a challenge. 95% of the time he was right.
While I appreciate your request for logging DNF’s, I do not believe its dishonesty. In our case not logging a DNF is a lack of confidence. Many times we have found caches with one or more DNF’s on them. So we will hunt for a cache regardless.
If at the end of the day we truley believe that a cache is missing we do contact the cache owner.
But of the caches we have not found, very few have been missing. Most often it is our mistake; we have a preconcieved notion of where the cache should be.
For example one that we looked for several times turned out to be on a picnic table in a shelter with 20 other pcinic tables. We never bothered looking at them since they move, but the noob that did find the cache apparently didnt know that. (Of course when the moved all the picnic tables to another shelter it was gone for good)
Other times we have found a cache in seconds that we spent a half hour on during a previous visit.
I am sure others have their reasons for not logging a DNF, but those are ours.

Cachemate for my PDA’s does list all caches as GCXXXX if desired, but that will not help in your GPS.
What SammyClaws said except use %code in build waypoint name using tags. I haven’t tried it, but the help says it will work.
Yep, I goofed up, the %gcid is another cache id. Thanks for the correction Miata
From help “%code = Waypoint code (For example, the GCXXXX code)”

I don’t want smart names. I want to load my GPS by witg GC #’s? Cuz that’s how the load into my Ipod and that’s what I use when I log them into GC.com. And somehow I disabled smart names so now I get waypoint 2 waypoint 3. HELP!!!
Are you referring to the name of the caches on your GPS unit? If so, then I would look at the export screen (GPS>Send Waypoint to GPS) there is a check box there that says use defaults. Make sure its checked. I am pretty sure it will use the GC name as a default. If you need to run it unchecked, then make sure you “%gcid” in the waypoint name box

Unless people specifically request it, we hunt and find as a team, which means letting others know when the find was made. For me, the goal is visiting and experiencing the area. Spending additional time fighting through a thicket or crawling through a juniper bush after the cache has been located doesn’t enhance the experience for me.
Pretty much our practice, unless there is something unusual or outstanding that the others should experience. Then we play warm and cold.
