    Caches with very inaccurate D/T ratings. For example, a T1.5 cache that ends up being a very long hike on rough terrain in the woods? Yeah right.

    in reply to: TICKS #1926755

    Picked up my first ticks of the season while getting an FTF. Amazing that I found over 150 caches in the last couple months and didn’t get one confirmed tick. Luckily neither was embedded into me and I just flicked both off when I was outside.

    Phil Hellmuth is such a crybaby.

    in reply to: GSAK – FTF – Cache Stats – Macro Question #1928799

    I’m not an FTF hound like some of you. It’s easy for me to keep track of my FTF’s as I’ve only have 8 FTF’s among my 583 finds. I could have gotten more if I wanted to, but choose not to.

    So it’s easy for me to keep track of my FTF’s. I right click on the individual cache on GSAK that I got the FTF on then click “edit” and check the FTF box. It’s that easy.

    “I can’t figure out how to put back this cache container.”

    in reply to: Pet Peeves #1908808

    Cache owners who don’t log in for a long time especially when a problem with a cache is logged.

    Man, that “needs maintenance” attribute will stay up there for a long time. Why bother putting a cache out if they won’t take care of it?

    in reply to: Wireless routers #1928553

    Actually, I’m holding off on the routers. Gonna drop internet at home to save some money for the summer. I’m not a heavy internet user anyways. E-mail and light web browsing is all I do anyways and there is a lot of wi-fi spots in my area that I can take my laptop to.

    But eventually, I’ll get internet back and will upgrade the router then.

    in reply to: Wireless routers #1928552

    I have not been home yet today other than to paint my containers for cache placement. I posted my original message of this thread when I was at Perkins and was amazed at their wi-fi connection. So that’s why I made the post.

    Currently I’m at a local library because it’s quiet (I live on a busy highway) and can do my write ups for the caches that I placed this morning.

    When I get home, I’ll check the specific model of my router and I know about accessing the 192.xxx.xxx address to change my settings so I’ll look through that once more.

    I’ll get back to y’all later.

    Neon, I’m on Twitter if ya wanna add me. I already added you.

    in reply to: What sort of GPSr to buy #1928449

    I have a Garmin E-Trex Venture HC. Paid $120 for it online at Walmart. Love it and use it a lot. Highly recommended for a starter GPS. While it does not have the paperless capability, I use my Garmin Nuvi and my Ipod to load cache descriptions onto for the paperless aspect.

    Eventually when I have the moola, I’ll upgrade to a fancy GPS like an Oregon, but for now, I’m very happy with my E-Trex Venture HC.

    A bit more about the E-Trex Venture HC, it does some of the following:

    1) Click on “Find Geocaches” and a list of caches will show up of nearby caches.

    2) Has a map that you can zoom in and out of that will show geocache icons. But it does not have a Topo map. That needs to be added. I don’t use it if I research my terrain online beforehand.

    3) Electronic compass (otherwise known as a bearing arrow). You have to start moving for the compass to work.

    4) WAAS enabled.

    5) You can mark a cache as found on the GPS and it will be stored in the GPS as “found”. You can refer to that later for logging the find online. I used to have to write down the GC number of every cache I found with my old unit. I no longer have to do that.

    It’s a great GPS for a starter unit.

    At least you didn’t pull a ZB and fill the page with 1200 smileys, Smashing Ground lol.

    Again, congrats, Bartrod. Glad I went with you on a few of those.

    A driver ran through a stop sign and got stopped by a cop.

    The cop said he was gonna give him a ticket for running the stop sign.

    The man tried to explain that he did slow down when he went through the stop sign. The cop said he still is gonna give the man a ticket. The man protested that he slowed down. So the cop took out his nightstick and started bopping the man on the head several times as he said “Do you want me to stop or should I just slow down?”

    Packers have home game that weekend. Hmm..I might go to the campout, but leave campout Saturday night so I can go home to watch the game as well as beat the game traffic when going through Green Bay on the way home.

    For those of you going to Geocoin Fest in Minnesota, Vikings have home game that weekend also.

    Fart Football….

    An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes
    gas and says, “Seven Points.”

    His wife rolls over and says, “What in the world was that?”

    The old man replied, “It’s fart football.”
    A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says, “Touchdown, tie
    score.”

    After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, “Aha.
    I’m ahead 14 to 7″

    Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, “Touchdown,
    tie score.”

    Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, “Field
    goal, I lead 17 to 14.” Now the pressure is on the old man.

    He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard. Since
    defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he’s got, and
    accidentally poops in the bed.

    The wife says, “What the heck was that?”

    The old man says, “Half time, switch sides

    LMAO. That’s Fk’n hilarious!!!

    This is what happens when everyone is trying to get that FTF at that new guardrail cache.
