Geocaching chat log from: 2003-03-03
* ClayJar takes a break from dodging drunk people to open the chat... ("Louisiana: We're Not All Drunk Cajun Wackos... That's Just Our Tourism Campaign") [Begin Log 59]
<Beast_of_Traal> welcome back my friends to the show that never ends we're so glad you could attend come inside come inside
<mtn-man> oh yeah mardi gras!
<umc> Its official
<wf_fuzzy> Drunk Cajun Wackos. Triply redundant.
<mtn-man> hehe
<dogvetusa> LOL
*** cachew_nut has joined #geocache
<mtn-man> true, i represent that
<genoist> hi cachew_nut
<brdad> hi cn
<BloenCustoms> drive up daquiries no where else
<mtn-man> hey there c_n
<cachew_nut> hello geocachers
<umc> hello CN
<ClayJar> As Dave Barry might say, "Drunk Cajun Wackos" would be a good name for a rock band.
<CYBret> YER TRASH!
<cachew_nut> hinkleman me
<genoist> arrow haven was in a dollar general tupperthing
<Beast_of_Traal> but they called themselves cowboy mouth
<StrongBad> it think limozeen is a cool name for a band
<genoist> before it vanished
<wf_fuzzy> yeah, but arrow haven was in a leaky tupperthing.
<genoist> oh, that must have been one of my old ones
<genoist> hmmm
<wf_fuzzy> as was mastodon trek
<genoist> i changed mastadon
<genoist> before it vanished
<dogvetusa> both of which i have never seen...
<wf_fuzzy> ah, well we found it the first week it was out.
<CYBret> T'was the pride of the peaches
<genoist> to a round tupperthing from dollar general
<genoist> 4 for like $3 i think it was
<wf_fuzzy> not a bad deal
<genoist> fairly water tight
<wf_fuzzy> pez was in a ziploc or gladware thingummy
<Beast_of_Traal> tupper where?
* ClayJar attempts a question: Okay, since this is official chat now... On one of tonight's Stargate SG-1 episodes, they used a yellow eTrex as a "scanner"-type prop. Ever seen any other creative uses of GPS receivers on TV?
<genoist> i have some glad ware in my trunk
<mtn-man> on 24
<genoist> on 24
<mtn-man> jack bauer used on
<mtn-man> on3e
<wf_fuzzy> one?
<mtn-man> dangit!... one
<genoist> a hanspring one
<dogvetusa> handspring?
<Leprechaun> only on the news and in documentaries. Not creative uses.
<ClayJar> What was creative about that?
<mtn-man> ill blame the dog for that one
<genoist> handspring visor
<brdad> I use mine for a copy holder on top of my monitor, does that count?
<genoist> a palm os device that used to be made
<mtn-man> good to see one used at all i guess
<wf_fuzzy> and still frustrates palm programmers everywhere (because the OS isn't upgradeable)
<Leprechaun> brdad also uses a Curtis Clip to divine the location of geocaches. Go figure.
<genoist> hmm, it may snow, but the temp is going up
<wf_fuzzy> who needs a copy holder when the humidity is this low?
<wf_fuzzy> just stick the paper to the monitor.
<dogvetusa> lol
*** Ttepee has joined #Geocache
<genoist> dogvetusa has an LCD monitor
<mtn-man> i have successfully distracted the puppymonster with milkbones now
<genoist> cant do that
<genoist> hi Ttepee
<brdad> hi Ttepee
<Ttepee> Hi everyone....really lousy connection here don't know how long I'll last
<dogvetusa> :D a nice one :D
<ClayJar> I looked over at the TV and saw the guy waving a yellow eTrex at some artifacts and did a double take. I wonder who had an eTrex in the prop room? Wil Wheaton ought to get another TV person in on caching. ;)
<genoist> i tried to convince my scout troop to do an orienteering thingy at an upcoming scouting thingy, but they would rather build a catapult
<dogvetusa> LOL
<DonnaG> I could see Richard Dean Anderson caching - pulling a McGyver
<mtn-man> hey tp
<ClayJar> Hehe... throw a GPS receiver with the catapult and watch the tracklog. ;)
<Leprechaun> genoist: whoever loses the orienteering contest, gets launched from the catapult.
<mtn-man> good one cj
<dogvetusa> LOL!
<wf_fuzzy> so make them use a compass and a topo map to find their targets.
<genoist> LOL
<GarminArmin> I would rather see Pamala Anderson caching!!
<BloenCustoms> Use catapult to place caches
<genoist> that is if the catapult really gets built
<wf_fuzzy> make 'em take turns being forward observer.
<Leprechaun> GarminArmin, she'd probably fake her finds.
<Beast_of_Traal> he could build a GPSr out of a radio a stick of gum and a ballpoint pen
<mtn-man> we have a cannon cache down here
<wf_fuzzy> see if they call down fire on their own position more than once ;)
<GarminArmin> roflmao
<mtn-man> cache was shot out of a cannon, gotta figure out where it landed
<BloenCustoms> I'd trade for her
<genoist> «mtn-man» how do you know the cache survived?
<Leprechaun> BloenCustoms log: left superglue. Took silicon. Thanks for the cache.
<wf_fuzzy> "left happy meal toy, took fake plastic woman."
<mtn-man> hehehehehe, gotta find it i guess!
<GarminArmin> No she left silicon and took stiches
<genoist> «dogvetusa» crash tried to jump out my rolled down window tonight
<ClayJar> Okay, guys, off the plastic person...
<wf_fuzzy> silicone.
<dogvetusa> !!!!!!!!!!!
<wf_fuzzy> silicon is too smart to be found near starlets.
<dogvetusa> did you save him?
<genoist> yes
<mtn-man> aw man
<Beast_of_Traal> my eat you beer cache was completely under water recently
<genoist> he needs to be transfered to a cache
<dogvetusa> phew!
<mtn-man> did it survive?
<Beast_of_Traal> the water mark was about 4 feet up the tree
<wf_fuzzy> just hide PPPP already
<genoist> perhaps Blue River since someone keeps forgetting the goody bag ;)
<Beast_of_Traal> yes it stayed dry
<ClayJar> Genoist, can you please not use the bright names? Either turn the script off or just don't use it during the logs.
<wf_fuzzy> not that anyone's dying for the hints, but you know.
<dogvetusa> *Cough cough*
<mtn-man> what kind of container?
<Beast_of_Traal> those ammo cans wark well
<mtn-man> cool!
<genoist> i WANTED to put it in shortwave
*** dogvetusa is now known as dogvetusa_dogwal
<Beast_of_Traal> i just need to tie it dow in the future
<wf_fuzzy> put it in PPP. That's where it started.
<genoist> ok, i'll have to go in search of part one on wednesday
<wf_fuzzy> after official chat I'll go out to the car and finish fixing up stage 2.
<genoist> how many parts are there?
<wf_fuzzy> 4
<mtn-man> i wanted to place a cache today 03-03-03
<wf_fuzzy> so place it tomorrow and date it today.
<mtn-man> cool date
<mtn-man> yeah, i thought of that... i had the idea for the cache today, right!
<GarminArmin> Just wait until 04-04-04
<genoist> call it cube root of 27
<Ttepee> Mtnman...I went to a wedding today because of the date
<mtn-man> hey, i like that genoist
<wf_fuzzy> three threes?
<Leprechaun> just to be symmetrical, I went out and got 03 finds on 03/03/03

<B25774> really, ist bloencustoms, just got disconnected
<ClayJar> No, they shot bullet into the air.
<Leprechaun> NASCAR doesn't run on Mondays, Ttepee
<mtn-man> hehe
<genoist> LOL
<genoist> sometime i'll have to figure out how to turn off that script that makes the bright names
* wf_fuzzy could use a bright name.
<ClayJar> Nah, fuzz, it wouldn't match.
<B25774> how is it that i'm logged in under 2 usernames?
<genoist> ones a ghost
<mtn-man> just lucky i guess
<Leprechaun> nice to have you here, Sybil
<genoist> it'll fall off in a bit
<wf_fuzzy> I was thinking maybe Vega, or Sirius.
<Beast_of_Traal> you can kill it but i forgot how
<ClayJar> So, BC, er, B#, were you going to make part or all of the campout?
<B25774> oh, im feeing awfully ethereal
<Leprechaun> that's the first Sirius thought you've had in here.
<genoist> you can only kill it if its registered
<Leprechaun> can I register my ex-wife????
*** JamieHomework is now known as JamieZ
<genoist> LOL

<wf_fuzzy> and bloencustoms isn't registered
<mtn-man> hey jamie
<ClayJar> Yes, I was.
<mtn-man> pizza!
<wf_fuzzy> last one to register it is a rotten egg.
<genoist> im registered ;)
<B25774> Ok, i might be able to make it. is it the weekend after next?
<Leprechaun> I'm registered, too, thanks to the helpful elitists who showed me how.
<ClayJar> Yes, indeed it is.
<genoist> mirc told me how
<JamieZ> Mtn... I guess I've gotten away from the regular dinner on monday nights. No kayaking, you know. Pizza sure sounds good, though.
<wf_fuzzy> now I know you're lying, lep, there's no helpful elitists in here.
<mtn-man> done with the class?
<mtn-man> did you pass?
<B25774> I,ll have to talk to caching partner Dave, see if he can go.
<JamieZ> Yeah, of course I did.
<mtn-man> excellent :-)
<JamieZ> Except I don't think we learned a whole lot...
<mtn-man> hey, as long as you learned how not to drown
<ClayJar> We should have a nice collection of people there at least on Saturday. (Some of us will be camping all weekend.)
<B25774> Is anyone bringing seven layer dip?
<mtn-man> thats the key
*** genoist is now known as genoist_brb
<ClayJar> Not unless you are.
<JamieZ> Yeah... I *am* a lot more comfortable in a kayak now.
<wf_fuzzy> no, ClayJar's driving himself.
<mtn-man> very cool, i never learned the roll, i quit too soon
<ClayJar> JZ: Are you coming down for the campout? (At least part of it?)
<DonnaG> lol wf
<JamieZ> I'll be on the coast from March 10-16 (maybe 17)... when is it?
<mtn-man> hehe fuzzy
<B25774> Cool, I don't know if I'll camp, but will try to show up for a couple of hours to meet people
<ClayJar> Well, we're kinda like the coast, JZ... ;)
<JamieZ> Yeah, it's not too far.
<Leprechaun> BC, event caches are a blast. Hope you can make it.
<JamieZ> So... when is it?
<ClayJar> 14-16
<ClayJar> I.e. 15 +/-1.
<B25774> Yeah, it sounds like fun. I could donate a 50 or 30 cal ammo can if you dont have a container yet
<Leprechaun> It looks like April may set a record for event caches, with the Earth Day cleanup!
<JamieZ> Oops.. .ya know what. I meant I'll be down there on March 10-14 (maybe 15). Spring break is from 10-17, but I have to work on Sunday.
<JamieZ> I could probably stop by Fri night, Sat morn.
<ClayJar> Okay, then stop by us on the 15th before you go back to work. ;)
*** drjill has joined #geocache
<JamieZ> Is there a event page?

<JamieZ> Er... I guess I'll read about it in the forums. That is, if they're working.
<Leprechaun> they're fine now, Jamie
<Leprechaun> the venom is flowing freely once again.
<B25774> after i talk to dave, i'll post a note to the cache page to let y'all know
<JamieZ> CJ.. where's it at?
<mtn-man> hehe lep
<ClayJar> (GCCF93) Louisiana Cacher's Kisatchie Cool Weather Campout by Louisiana Geocachers (1/1) http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=53139
<ClayJar> It's near Alexandria, LA.
<Leprechaun> (this link brought to you by WATCHER)
<ClayJar> But of course.
<B25774> how many are going so far?
<ClayJar> Don't know exactly, but there should be a number of us.
<B25774> LOL
<JamieZ> Hmmm... CJ, that's a lot further away than I figured.
<JamieZ> I'll be in Biloxi/Gulfport during the week.... I'll have to give this some thought.
<ClayJar> It's right on the way back, JZ... You just get to go the low-traffic route.
<Beast_of_Traal> we just hierd a new prep guy so i should be able to make it
<JamieZ> Well, I pretty much limited to the low-traffic route anyway... since my truck only goes about 60mph.
<B25774> that La Chasser cache is great
<DonnaG> Is it warm there? I need some stories of warmth to get through to spring
<JamieZ> Print up the cache page and bring it along and keep ya'll in mind.
*** dogvetusa_dogwal is now known as dogvetusa
<Beast_of_Traal> that is a fun one
<ClayJar> DG: It's practically sweltering here.
<DonnaG> Aaaaahhhhh
*** genoist_brb is now known as genoist
<wf_fuzzy> I have it on good authority that it's summer. I know it is, because the Meijer store is already selling summer merchandise.
*** BloenCustoms has quit IRC (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
<Beast_of_Traal> i might be a cool weather campout in shorts
<JamieZ> Suppposed to be perd' near 60 tomorrow here.
<B25774> it's our only multi completed so far, reaaly enjoyed it
<mtn-man> 60 degrees here tomorrow, if that makes you feel better
<Leprechaun> "sweltering"... wow... I forgot about that word
<dogvetusa> I saw bathing suits in target at least a month ago
<Harrald> It was 12 here today
<ClayJar> BC: You can type "/nick BloenCustoms" to change back to your normal nick.
<DonnaG> nice - my winter bootS wore out and I can't find any in the stores -30 here
<genoist> i have a mortar can that i'd love to use as a cache if i can find someplace big enough to hide it
<wf_fuzzy> and then type /msg nickserv register <password>
<B25774> "/nick Bloencustoms"
<Beast_of_Traal> although we useily have a late freeze somtime in march
<wf_fuzzy> without the quotes
<DonnaG> so I need warm thoughts
<Beast_of_Traal> to kill everything that just started to bloom
<B25774> I dunno..
<JamieZ> CJ, is the number I have still good?
<Leprechaun> 17 degrees here. Read about a cold cache hunt: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=56720
*** B25774 is now known as Bloencustoms
<mtn-man> yeah
<genoist> 23.9º here
<BruceS> was 4 degrees a week ago and I was out camping in tent caching
<Bloencustoms> Ahh there it is
<genoist> was about 5º this morning
<mtn-man> funny log there lep
<ClayJar> If it's mine it is, JZ. ;)
*** GarminArmin has quit IRC ("Leaving")
<Leprechaun> m-m, the shame of it is, the hider won't even realize I dissed him.
<wf_fuzzy> I was told it was 2° this morning here.
<JamieZ> Alright. I might give you a call friday and see how things are turning out.
<genoist> i have my indoor/outdoor thermometer
<genoist> on my desk
<JamieZ> Lep.. "thanks for putting it so close to the road"?
<mtn-man> hehe
<Leprechaun> 80 feet from a 2-lane road, speed limit 40
<Bloencustoms> news guy on FOX just referred to today as "fat monday"
<JamieZ> electronics theme? "Took colored chalk"?
<mtn-man> oh, nice
<mtn-man> took nothing, left with my life
<Beast_of_Traal> Lundi Gras
<Leprechaun> and just *barely* met the minimum distance limit. This fellow is saturating the park with lame caches.

<dogvetusa> not under fuzzy are you?
<wf_fuzzy> it's for stalking people, duh.
<genoist> ah
<dogvetusa> lol
<dboggny> MM, there are just a few more questions i need to ask you in order to see if you NYC knowledge is up to par
<wf_fuzzy> no, but I trust that Genoist can type /whois as well as anyone
<mtn-man> oh man... hehe
<genoist> and i checked your registar
<ClayJar> I thought the phone book was for looking up addresses to put into your GPS receivers.
<genoist> godaddy.com
<dboggny> first question, who plays at shae stadium?
<genoist> registrar
<LaPaglia> Shae
<LaPaglia> of course
<mtn-man> the cubs
<wf_fuzzy> what can I say, I'm cheap.
<LaPaglia> that was easy
<B15027> how do i keep this thing from timing out?
<dboggny> the cubs?
<mtn-man> hehehehehe
<LaPaglia> they play there, just not all the time
<mtn-man> the reds?
<Leprechaun> no, the Cubs play at Wriggly
<wf_fuzzy> you call that playing?
<umc> hello lap
<dboggny> what was the Major deagen expressway named after?
<Harrald> Shae?
<LaPaglia> HI UMC
<ClayJar> It just happens sometimes when you're on a dialup.
<dboggny> who was rather
<mtn-man> ohhh, the dodgers
<Harrald> Not much of a Met fan huh Danny?
<B15027> OK, thanx
<LaPaglia> Harrald, its Shae stadium
<mtn-man> now, i dont know that one, i guess major deagen
<dboggny> what side of manhattan is the West side Highway
<dboggny> no harrald, yanks
<genoist> last night i had a heck of a time staying on here with my cable connection
<wf_fuzzy> I know a lot of cub fans who wish they had an excuse to play the yankees.
<Harrald> Trust me LP it's Shea
<B15027> i was just going to ask if cable was better
<genoist> tonight i'm fine
<LaPaglia> That was my first answer
<ClayJar> I very rarely have a problem.
<mtn-man> i think the west side is actually on the north side of manhattan
<genoist> i think there was just a LOT of traffic on the network last night
*** drjill has quit IRC
<dboggny> no, it runs north south but it is on the west side... eerrrr
<genoist> everything was on the slow side
<genoist> but tonight i think i've only gotten disconnected once
<mtn-man> oh well, i had to miss one finally, right?
<LaPaglia> Who is buried in Grants tomb?
<B15027> hey, if I drop off again, see ya
<Harrald> That's my cache
<mtn-man> hoffa
<dboggny> MM, i am just busting you
<Leprechaun> trick question, Lap. Nobody is "buried" there.
<st_richardson> Anyone else having problems loading WAAS data to the Vista with software version 3.10? I've tried practically everything to sync with sat #35 & re-load WAAS data.
<mtn-man> i know, but at least i did good!
<JamieZ> St, have you eaten any red meat lately?
<dboggny> you did ok
<mtn-man> i know the braves don't play in shea though, thats for sure
<dboggny> b+
<B15027> how far east must you go to get the other WAAS sat?
<dboggny> ok MM, what county is Staten Island
<LaPaglia> B15027, the complete distance
<B15027> sorry, i meant west
<mtn-man> ST, i have been afraid to load the upgrade since you noted the problem
<Harrald> You mean country ;)
<dboggny> lol harrald. maybe i should ask what state its part of
<Beast_of_Traal> staten island
<genoist> west? the WAAS sats are about the equator, aren't they?
<genoist> *above
<mtn-man> i think it is richmond...
<mtn-man> cant remember
<B15027> above what meridian?
<genoist> not sure
<dboggny> holy shugar, did you look that up?
<genoist> they are on opposite sides of the planet though, right?
<wf_fuzzy> yes, the WAAS sats are in geosynchronous orbit.
<mtn-man> part of the demographics
<mtn-man> that must be right
<st_richardson> Go ahead and try it. I'd like to know if it's just me. Garmin suggested I download the software again.
<Harrald> You know I never thought of it that way. No one is really buried in Grants tomb
<Harrald> Hmmmmmmmmm
*** pater47 has joined #Geocache

<wf_fuzzy> I'm so glad I may be seated, because I can't stand...
<Harrald> Rats...I may have to re-do that cache page
<JamieZ> Hey Pater.
<pater47> greetings, jamie - have we done the dinner poll already?
<st_richardson> I know Sat. 35 is there because I can receive it with my Rinos but I still haven't been able to get my Vista to realize that anything above 33 exists.
*** sidewinder has joined #Geocache
<JamieZ> No Pater... no dinner tonight. Mtn already voted pizza, even though I have none.
<mtn-man> i still get 35 st, no problem for me
*** dogvetusa has quit IRC ("should not have read that book till 3 in the morning. tired....")

<st_richardson> mtn-man: what ver. software are you running?
<wf_fuzzy> just a flesh wound
<JamieZ> Um.. no. Said hi... she was supposed to have moved back home, but she has stayed here.
<mtn-man> not sure, ill go get my gps
<mtn-man> "these are not little richards shoes!'
<Harrald> I have to go and research this better.
<Leprechaun> ahhh.... the old "I'm moving far, far away" line

*** Harrald has quit IRC

<pater47> I feel like I ran into something today.
<JamieZ> Fuzzy, you missed the purty eyes incident.
<st_richardson> mtn-man: Want to try 3.10 & see if you can get #35?
<JamieZ> Pater, whudja do?
<wf_fuzzy> some guy tol' me you got a purty mouth, though.
<mtn-man> ... no ... im scared to kill 35 off!
<mtn-man> hehe
<pater47> Two counts: First, the smallpox vaccine I took Thursday is starting to do its thang

<Leprechaun> yep
<Beast_of_Traal> you need to get the bike mounting bracket now
<garrettmaster1> it was on impulse ;) what part of wisconsin?
<JamieZ> Pater, what kinder bike?
<Cheesehead_Dave> Kenosha
<wf_fuzzy> bless you
<pater47> Hills around here a lot bigger than they were 20 years and 60 pounds ago.
<LaPaglia> My wife grew up in Racine
<genoist> i usually just edit all the wp's i want on my gps using easy gps, then delete them ALL from my gps, and reload using easy gps
<pater47> Cheap Schwinn
<genoist> we dont have mountain bikes around here, we have gentle hill bikes
<wf_fuzzy> My GPS lets me edit waypoints without pushing any buttons.
<pater47> wait, cancel, not the schwinn.
<wf_fuzzy> :P
<garrettmaster1> wow...closest living person to me in this chat record
<pater47> Got a Dynacraft, or something like that
<Cheesehead_Dave> garrettmas: where are you?
<genoist> i need to get a bike this summer
<JamieZ> Hmmm.. haven't heard of that. I know what the Schwinn was.
<JamieZ> How do you like it so far?
<genoist> i use my father's now, and its a pos
<Leprechaun> I'll also be starting caching by mountain bike once spring arrives. Will need bike bracket for Garmin V?
<garrettmaster1> lake geneva
<mtn-man> well shoot, i cant find the version st, i am dumb as a box of rocks tonight (insert comments now)
<pater47> bought the carrying rack too - cost almost as much as the bike
*** welch has quit IRC
<Leprechaun> bought SUV so I could buy carrying rack
<JamieZ> I was gonna ask you about that... how you planned to carry it on the cachemobile.
<BruceS> I have done couple caches near Lake Geneva
<pater47> dang thing needs a motor in my opinion :)
<wf_fuzzy> always one to oblige: is a box of rocks smarter or dumber than a mountain?

<Planet> Lep you're lucky too!
<garrettmaster1> you should get a cheese hat keychain and attach it to a travel bug :)
<Leprechaun> oh is that where they sell the $50 geocaching lessons?
<Planet> LOL
<Planet> funny Lep
<Leprechaun> yeah and godmother is a ski instructor. I chose well. :-)

<Planet> Hi Ttepee!
<Leprechaun> hello roasteroo!
<Pudman> hey rr
<roasteroo> yo
<Planet> I'm getting better, is your snow pack melting at all?
<genoist> has anyone seen the "log a toilet" site?
<Planet> no!
<Planet> where?
<Mopar2> yes!
<roasteroo> snow startin to melt in nj
<Cheesehead_Dave> I just made a bunch of cheesehead keychains. Haven't had too much luck with TBs, though...
<Mopar2> urinal.net
<genoist> http://www.findatoilet.com/
<Planet> it's hard as a rock here
<ClayJar> Snow? Isn't that the stuff that floods Louisiana?
<Planet> oh, geez, i thought you meant a toilet cache
<wf_fuzzy> no, that's hard liquor.
<genoist> lol
<Planet> hahaha
<mtn-man> unreal
<genoist> logging rest stops by gps
<Planet> busy in here is it Monday?
<mtn-man> i can make several comments about that site
<roasteroo> yest. snow was soft waist deep in spots on trail to do maint. on my cache, now its 7 deg and prob frozen
<wf_fuzzy> aren't rest stops already on maps?
<Leprechaun> Ventura Kid is not here, therefore, it is Monday.
<genoist> yes
<wf_fuzzy> do we have to archive the rest stop they took out north of fort wayne?
<Planet> most are fuzzy
*** Bowen has quit IRC ("Leaving")
<genoist> LOL
<garrettmaster1> well...my night is slipping away from me here...im going to get going
<genoist> i logged a locationless at a rest stop
<garrettmaster1> bye
*** garrettmaster1 has quit IRC ("Leaving")
<Leprechaun> you should archive any rest stop that is too close to another rest stop.
<genoist> the Gramatically Incorrect one
<JamieHomework> That toilet site is pretty basic.
<wf_fuzzy> stuff scratched into the stall walls doesn't really count.
<genoist> it was on the map
<Planet> in FRance the public toilets are holes in the floor, even the new ones are stainless steel holes in the floor with places to set your feet, you have to squat over them, and that's the ladies room!
<genoist> the map had a marker and said "YOUR HERE"
<roasteroo> wow
<Leprechaun> thanks for sharing, Planet.
<wf_fuzzy> what about my here?
*** dboggny has quit IRC (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<Planet> danny, I didn't even see him there
<genoist> hehe
*** dboggny has joined #geocache
<Planet> hi Danny!!!!
<CYBret> Hiya, Danny\
<Leprechaun> The only problem with French toilets, there's no paper, they've used it all to make surrender flags.
<genoist> Arcola rest stop on 30 East
<dboggny> hello hello
<dboggny> thanks for the welcome
<Planet> when we got there we bought TP and paper towels, same thing, no difference
<Planet> I kept a journal and put a piece of each in it and wrote Vive la Diference
<genoist> you can stop there on your way to Blue River Cache
<wf_fuzzy> If I go to Blue River Cache I'll take the old lincoln highway
<wf_fuzzy> maybe find a locationless along the way.
<genoist> lincoln way?
<wf_fuzzy> washington center. I think it actually becomes "lincoln highway" when you get into whitley county.
<genoist> yes, lincoln way, i took that when 30 was under construction
<st_richardson> mnt-man: Once I figure out where I left my Vista (I believe I brought it in), I'm going to try re-loading 3.10. If that doesn't work I may got back to ver. 2.25, also.
<genoist> i thought it was strange that there were NO caches in whitley
<wf_fuzzy> well, there aren't many cachers around here.
<wf_fuzzy> not too many caches in dekalb or steuben, either, other than at pokagon.
<Planet> can you put caches in Whitley? or is there some rule keeping them from being there?
<mtn-man> st, you still have version 2.25?
<Planet> Hi umc!
<mtn-man> are you coming to the meeting?
<wf_fuzzy> you can, but nobody lives there and we haven't run out of places in fort wayne to put them yet.
<genoist> i made a list of parks to visit
<genoist> in ft wayne
<genoist> what one did you have plans for already?
<wf_fuzzy> I shouldn't have mentioned my secret source of hiding places.
<wf_fuzzy> all of them.
<wf_fuzzy> :)
<wf_fuzzy> Vesey
<genoist> LOL
<genoist> ok
<wf_fuzzy> possibly also the one off Van Buren at the river, I haven't decided.
<wf_fuzzy> (the one on the south side of the river, that is.)
<wf_fuzzy> where the DNR ramp is.
<genoist> i'd tell you the ones on my list, but its out in the car
<mtn-man> st_richardson, are you coming to the meeting

<genoist> didn't pilot pens sue them
<genoist> ?
<ClayJar> Watcher for Palm... hehe... I'd need to hire a PalmOS coder. ;)
<st_richardson> mtn-man: I believe I still have all the upgrades & yes I plan to be at the meeting.
<mtn-man> cool, try reloading and post a message in the forums
<mtn-man> if you have the old version i may try to load it
<mtn-man> do you have a cd burner?
<wf_fuzzy> you can get watcher for palm right after I finish all of my other projects and get ClayJar to translate it into a real language :)
<pater47> Well, as Gracie said to George, "Goodnight Gracie."
<st_richardson> Yes to burner.
<mtn-man> burn a cd of 2.25 for me, ill give you something in trade...

<ClayJar> GGA thermometer key chains? Wow, if only I could find one of those!
<mtn-man> no, you need to look at the link...
<wf_fuzzy> isn't GGA an NMEA-0183 sentence?

<wf_fuzzy> your satellite looks like a fat mosquito.
<mtn-man> so planet, which one do you want
<Planet> mtn-man, i've been making these, working on different makes too: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/PlanetClaire/Planetmade/GPSbeads.JPG and will be putting them on geo bracelets: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/PlanetClaire/Planetmade/treegrowthnbraclt.JPG

<Mopar2> btw claire, i need to talk to you about your beeds

<Planet> you get the key to the janitor's washroom
<BruceS> Dru with 200 it is still just the porta john
* genoist wonders where this snow that was predicted is
<wf_fuzzy> the real snow won't be til tomorrow night.
<wf_fuzzy> predicted accumulation 4-6 inches.
<Planet> when you get to BruceS's count you move up to executive, right Bruce?
<wf_fuzzy> tonight is supposed to be less than an inch.
* Planet goes off to check the radar
<Leprechaun> no, when you get up to BruceS's count, someone follows you around with a doot bucket
<DruMorgan> 106 doots, ah ah ah!
<DruMorgan> Anyone caching in Los Angeles? (not you regulars. I know where you are from)
<Planet> not any time soon Dru
<roasteroo> im from nj
<wf_fuzzy> if I'm caching in LA, you'll know it.
<Cheesehead_Dave> We're actually going to get a measurable snowfall here!
<Planet> Connecticut!
<BruceS> well depends on who you talk to... sometime wife says dog house
<DruMorgan> I keep refreshing my hidden cache to see who gets the FTF

<Leprechaun> I may get out to CA again in the Spring, Dru

<Mopar2> not so much in pa claire
<Mopar2> just in phili area
<genoist> last year we drove to florida
<Planet> that's not PA?
<wf_fuzzy> I think they use the phrase "does time" for time spent in PA.
<Mopar2> i have more caches logged in FL then in PA i think
<Leprechaun> we consider it a separate state, Planet
<Planet> lol
<mtn-man> i do that anyway pretty regularly ST

<Leprechaun> until the conversation deteriorates irretrievably

<Planet> lots

<Planet> hi VF
<VentureForth> Hi Planet
-VentureForth- I have Christian Command v3.02® get it at http://www.bornagain.net/cc/
<Planet> there's one in the confangled machine somewhere
* Mopar2 passes VF a candle in a sneaker
<wf_fuzzy> 2003 calendars are really cheap now, but you have to choose between "Iguanas of the world" and "pro wrestling greats."
<VentureForth> Kinda slow for a Monday...
<genoist> do you know if anyone else is planning any caches in fort wayne?
* VentureForth shouts "OUCH!"
<wf_fuzzy> Enos has grand plans for something.
<Planet> and since I can't cache for weeks and weeks i got no caches to talk about :(
<wf_fuzzy> Others will probably place caches when it warms up a little.
<genoist> maybe thats where he is
<Planet> but i did vicarious cache with kablooey this week
<genoist> wussy warm weather cachers
<wf_fuzzy> and then there's mine.
<VentureForth> Mopar - you noticed I brought back the University 'still' singles again in the forums??? :-D
<Planet> ouch?
<mtn-man> yeah, caching at 60 degrees is a bummer
<genoist> shut up mtn :P!!!
<DruMorgan> That happened right before I started.
<mtn-man> hehehehe
<DruMorgan> Quite a story there, VF
<mtn-man> ziiippppp
<genoist> lol
<Planet> if the snow was soft, no problem but it's 9 inches of ice
* VentureForth is going to plant a bar of soap in the woods and log the coordinates.
<Mopar2> caching in 80 degrees really sucked too
<logscaler> later gang.
*** logscaler has quit IRC ("Leaving")
<DruMorgan> I got sunburned at the beach yesterday caching
<Planet> won't last long if it rains VF
<genoist> caching when the real temp is in the single digits is a bummer
<Mopar2> yes i noticed VF, always good for a chuckle
<Planet> better use a plastic traveler's soap dish
<VentureForth> I may put it in a zip log bag.
<genoist> i think it was in the single digits when i got my car stuck
<genoist> eee
<genoist> back in january
<Mopar2> i think everyone except maybe rich laughs every time they read it
<genoist> found the cache though!
<VentureForth> Planet - That would make it better than University Singles Inc's caches...
<DruMorgan> How about planting a tree in the forest and calling it a cache?
<Planet> don't know whcih you are referring to, not familiar with it
<Mopar2> i still dont know why my locationless wasnt approved
<Planet> link? if handy
<Mopar2> i need to bitch and whine in the dorums
<Planet> dorums'll do it
<mtn-man> please do mopar, please do
<Mopar2> heheheh
<VentureForth> No one ever reads those dang dorums.
<Planet> I would like to state here and now that the admins are doing one helluva job, bravo, kudos, pats on the backs
<Mopar2> im waiting for it to get a real archive instead of a declined approval, so i can post it :)
<genoist> it'll be nice when locationless caches are tucked into their new home
<VentureForth> Heh heh. That's better than an MOC.
<Planet> never had a cache denied, but then mine are all well thought out simple traditional caches
<wf_fuzzy> why read when it's so much more fun to post?
<dboggny> how will you post it mopar if its archived?
<wf_fuzzy> planet, you got a cache in the approval queue or something?
<Planet> nope
<DruMorgan> You got a little something on your nose there, Planet
<Leprechaun> I agree genoist! I plan on doing a marathon day of locationless finds to celebrate their proper categorization.
<Mopar2> ive only had one cache declined, and i cant for the life of me figure out why
<VentureForth> Planet - how dare you hide traditional caches! What's that gotta do with geocaching?
<wf_fuzzy> then save the kissing up for when you do! sheesh!
<Planet> oops mtn-man stopped short, couldn't help it
<Pudman> lol
<mtn-man> your check is now written and in the mail planet
<VentureForth> I tried to get in as many locationless as I could to get my count up before the recategorization.
<Planet> everything! VF Everything!
<genoist> i've just been getting locationlesses as i see them
<DruMorgan> Hey, PUDmin, how are ya?
<Mopar2> i snagged a locationless in WDW, just waiting for the split to log it
<Pudman> hehehe good dru!
<Planet> I wouldn't log a locationless as a find - until they get their own category
<Pudman> you?
<wf_fuzzy> and as he sees ones I haven't already gotten :)
*** LaPaglia is now known as Lap_away
