Welcome to caching and to the WGA! And congrats on the GPS’rless caching stats!!!

Just did some of the virtuals when we were there. I forgot the GPS’r both times we went. 😳

BUMP

A setting may have gotten changed on the GPS’r. Try holding the power button for several seconds instead of just pressing it. If it powers up, you’ll just need to change the power on settings.

no sticky knob….but I DID find a spare tire well full of water this morning after the rain!!!

Was this the first time you looked in there? If so, it could be an accumulation over time. If not, check the seal on the rear hatch and window for leaks. That warranty may come in handy again! 🙂

I have that coin, and I’ll take a lot less! 😀

This might seem obvious, but place it at night! Then check back in daylight to look for obstacles you may have missed.

Tomato, tomahto. SSDD 😀

This sounds pretty cool. Do you have any pictures of your work in progress?

I’ve been taking some here and there and plan to make a slide-show kind of thing when it’s all done.

I have decals on my X, and the physical TB hanging from the rear-view. It’s been discovered a bunch of times and no one’s tried to take the decals. 😉

But I’ve never seen the magnetic ones, but I’d like to know where to get one. Though I’d use it prolly like it’s not intended. I like the idea of placing it on my truck and having someone take it like a TB to put on their own vehicle. This may start confusing this whole situation, but I still like the idea. Maybe I can get one made, or alter one so it reads “Please take me, I’m a TB, the tag I mean, NOT my truck!” 🙂

You can order it from the link in my original post directly from Groundspeak. I was looking at options to buy a regular travel bug and ‘transfer’ the ID # to my own application (sheet of magnet or adhesive vinyl) at some point.

Thanks!

I do musical instrument work professionally, and perhaps I can help some. You’ve pick a fairly ambitious inlay patten for a first attempt. What kind of wood are you putting the inlay in? If it is a dark wood, you can make a filler so that you don’t have to rout exactly. If you are inlaying into a light colored wood, you will have to be much more exact as it is harder to fill invisibly.

I recomend using a dremmel tool with a router base attachment. It is much easier to handle that a full size router, and there is a variety of bits available in many sizes. I have even used bits from my dentist for very fine inlays.

If you have specific questioins about techniques or materials, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks Frizz, never thought of using the Dremel. I have the router attachment and it came with a few bits. I’m using Rosewood and Mahogany, the inlay will be in the mahogany. I’ve already found a filler thats pretty close, but I’m hoping to natural stain the wood when I’m done, so a close match just wont do. I may end up having to do a few shades darker, but that would be disappointing.

I came across some gold leaf a few months back and I’m starting to think I may be better off doing it that way. I’ve worked with it before, and any time I made a mistake, I just rubbed it off. Still would like to do the inlay though, it’s something I’ve never tried. The good news is, if I screw up the cut, I can just cut a new drop. I bought extra wood stock for this purpose to begin with. 🙂

Anyone up for a world record attempt? Anyone know what the record is for caches in a day???

TDSGal and I were together for 17 years, married for 14 of them until last year. But, I’m working on a new significant other finally. 😀
