I have no pet peeves. Crabby Month is over. 😉
We’re all supposed to be putting out clear plastic containers for caches anyway. 🙄
Know right where that quake was. Grew up less than 25 miles from there. Mostly farm land. People in Madison felt the quake, but we’re too far north here.
We write novels for guardrail caches, and “War and Peace” for a really good cache. OK, not that lengthy, but our logs and any photos we take are how we remember the caches we do. Memory serves us quite well, but not as well on some caches. So we write detailed online logs.
The most caches we’ve ever found in one day was 18, with 6 DNFs. Took a while to write all of those up, but they got done. We hope the caches owners enjoyed reading about our visits. We certainly love finding lengthy logs on the caches we have out. When we get a short cut-and-paste (with no additional specifics to the cache), or a TFTC, we go “What???? That’s all you have to say?????” But then we move on. Not everyone does what we do, and we don’t do what they do (like go on power runs). We also don’t know what reasons they may have for not writing much, as some have mentioned here already.
We also like to see what others have said about caches we’ve enjoyed doing or may want to do. We like reading about everyone’s adventures all over the state and elsewhere. Good logs can help us decide where to cache next. Can’t get much from a “TFTC”, except that the cache was findable at that time.
Another thing… If the log book in a cache has enough room, do you write a lengthy log there? We usually do. We also like to read what others have said, and when we do cache maintenance on our caches, we like to see what the finders have said in those log books, too.
But to each his/her own. (I’m also a practitioner of lengthy forum posts.)
When I was out feeding the birds a couple of days ago, I swear I heard a robin. Couldn’t spot the bird, though. And we don’t have any crabapples on our tree this winter, so it wasn’t one of our frequent “wintering over” robins.
Some of the other birds are starting to do some of their spring calls, which is always welcome to hear.

Just noticed at the bottom of the Forums page…
Logged in right now was K Spud just before RJ McKenzie. 😆 😆 😆Nice steal of the thread, Labrat, and you should know how to google and use Wikipedia by now, but since the research is done, here it is:
from Wikipedia…
“Spuds MacKenzie was a fictional dog created for use in an advertising campaign marketing Bud Light beer in the late 1980s. The dog first showed up in a Bud Light Super Bowl ad. By the end of the game, Spuds was a marketing success. During the height of his popularity, large amounts of Spuds merchandise was available, such as plush toys and t-shirts.
The dog, a Bull Terrier, existed not without his share of controversy. Shortly after Spuds’ rise to fame it was learned that “he” was actually female. The “controversy” was spread through the media. The dog’s real name was Honey Tree Evil Eye (c. 1983 – May 31, 1993). She died of kidney failure in North Riverside, Illinois.
Because of the popularity of the ads, they were the subject of attacks and calls for censorship by temperance-oriented groups. In 1992, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, along with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, charged that Anheuser-Busch was pitching the dog to children. Although the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found no evidence to support that allegation, the ads were dropped.”
Now, whatever became of Toyota Ryan?????? 😉

I’m debating hiding it as a new cache, or upgrading one of my crummy Peanut Butter jar caches.
First of all, as one who enjoys wrapping peanut butter jars with camo duct tape, those are NOT crummy caches, so keep the PB hides–unless the containers are getting degraded or they are in locations where you would like to put out a larger container to invite more trackables and swag.
Secondly, as one who lives close enough to find your hides, even though we haven’t gone in search of any yet, I say put out a new hide.
Thirdly, that’s one nice looking cache container, and the insides sound just as nice, so I say find a special spot to hide this one, and make sure it’s a secure enough spot so that it doesn’t go “walking”.
Does she know you’re posting that news here for all to see????? 😯 😯 😯 😉
But Happy Birthday to you, Karen, and let the celebrating begin!
Boy, is this going to take some getting used to! Thought: “Who’s RJ McKenzie?” and no more familiar avatar. But change is good, so we’ll get used to it. Glad it’s working out for you.
Saw that this one got published as an EC just a bit ago. Congrats on that, LB7. Hope any others of yours go a bit smoother. It’s not like you’re a newbie on this and need to be told what to do to make a god earth cache, but if tougher standards keep some of the poorer quality ECs from getting published, maybe that’s a silver lining.
Thanks for hanging in there!
Us, too! That’s because we always forget to bring the phone with us, so it stays nice and safe (and basically useless) in the glove compartment. Now as for the glasses…
