Actually you could probably become a member of BaseCamp "Pretty Quick" or join as a guest Camper and get credit {( I've never done that) but it shouldn't be too tough too code} "Gil Favour"...never heard of him/her/it!?!?! EDIT:....You're going to have to do better than those plates; I could scarf all of them in 4 minutes and ask for more... ![]() ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Sport at May 5, 2011 2:59:54 AM] |

Yes, you may do any of those things, Wishbone, but it's my impressionyou like it this way .... "Gil Favour"...never heard of him/her/it!?!?!... My good friend NAP2614 in Idaho noticed, I didn't know Gil Favour, and told it was the co-character of Wishbone's in the "Rawhide" TV-series starring Clint Eastwood. The Clint Eastwood/Rawhide connection I did come across in Hexagame. EDIT:....You're going to have to do better than those plates; I could scarf all of them in 4 minutes and ask for more... Sport, sport, I understand you're hungry, but manners .... ![]() |

That was after all just a starter an entree ![]() Just so Happens Sport There is a Plate left to one side just for you (dont tell any one Tho) ![]() Now then Gil Favour aint showed hiself yet? gotta keep in with the trail Boss http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/children/westerns/rawhide.htm Play the theme tune as you clear the plates ---------------------------------------- [Edit 3 times, last edit by densnaps at May 5, 2011 7:20:53 AM] |

Wishbone, you are right on the cutting edge of this trek - feeding Sport some more food is so nice of you.
----------------------------------------This post will incidentally deal some with the Anglo-American issue with this neutral Viking as a spectator. And thank you for one hearty breakfast. ![]() Not sure I ever saw any breakfast quite like it before, not even in your country ![]() Good Morning Base Campers Outpost Trek #2 - U.S. Air Force @ Collatz Conjecture - one cruncher left - and I'm not equipped to say who - may even be one of the regular Air Force team members - but Sport will know. We had the gap wound down by another 2 mio. Very good going, Base Campers! He-he, thought about starting a "Miss Manners" class at Base Camp University, but scrapped it. During WW II when a lot of young Americans were shipped to England, the natives sort of watched exasperatedly. The Brits called those Yanks "Oversexed, overpaid, and over here". The Yanks yanked back: "Underpaid, undersexed and under Eisenhower." Well, looks like a draw to me. So, Wishbone, may I ask you to feed that Yankee Sport some more food, please? - That you already did. Thank you. - As I write I notice Scribe started a thread called Math or Maths, that is the question! which is a promising concept. Really looking forward to see where this will lead! This may be our most exciting Trek to date. Is that the reason why not much happens on the side? Never mind. I'll use the opportunity to present my National Anthem to you. It can be performed in lots of ways, but the one I like the most is when it's sung ahead of a soccer match - preferably as here against the team we are always most hungry to beat: Sweden. There is one thing I would like you to notice. Normally, the orchestra plays from start to end. Not here in Copenhagen. The orchestra gracefully leaves it to the voices of 40,000 people to carry it through: Der er et yndigt land - There Is a Lovely Country How the match ended? 1-0 to Denmark ![]() Went geocaching Monday for the first time in my life - it shall not be the last; it's very rewarding at many levels. ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 5, 2011 5:05:25 PM] |

....BaseCamp @ U.S.Air Force/Collatz is still running full out for another 10 days as of this post
----------------------------------------GeoCaching takes sophisticated hardware and a working knowledge of software and application integration....but it is a BLAST! ( Not really that tough if you have an idea of what it's all about) ![]() ![]() |

Have an inkling that you haven't been at "Today in History", so since I took the trouble, I thought I would lift it over here:
Today is the 66th anniversary of Denmark's liberation from German occupation by allied forces led by Field Marshall Montgomery. To celebrate this day and to honour the airmen who lost their lives flying missions in the Danish airspace we shall today have a special visitor - one of the three Lancaster bombers flying over Buckingham Palace on the wedding day of Prince William and his Kate. "The BBMF Lancaster is due to perform a series of 3 low level (500 feet) fly pasts of the EE138 crash site at 14:30 on 5th May 2011. BBMF Lancaster PA474 is painted with the nose art of Lancaster EE139 - "The Phantom of the Ruhr"." For those interested more info is available here Low level Lancaster fly past Although the official day of surrender by the German occupation forces was May 5, news of the event reached the Danes on May 4 from a special BBC broadcast. They reacted by ripping down the black-out curtains and celebrate in the streets. Some die hard traditionalists still put candles in their windows on May 4. Denmark's role during WW II was not flattering. This was improved on, though, by the Danish saboteurs not obeying government orders to be friendly to the occupation forces, by Danish seamen who did not go home from stranding in foreign ports in 1940 but sailed with the allies, and by the rescue of the large majority of citizens of the Jewish faith by shipping them to neutral Sweden. You can view a series of pretty pictures here: Ryvangen, Copenhagen, May 4, 2011 |

Good Morning Base Campers
----------------------------------------Outpost Trek #2 - U.S. Air Force @ Collatz Conjecture the same crew has now reduced the gap to "just" 93,236,154. We have to hope the Navy doesn't sense something is up. In all probability they will not. Their vigilance seems to match that of the one found at the U.S. Air Force Team Thread. For once I have nothing to add so, please, enjoy The Sound of Silence Base Camp tries to boost the points of other teams. On our current Trek we have a competition - unsaid - running. We are not shy to admit we may lose that competition unless you will help us pinky told me that the custom of celebrating 30-year-birthdays of unmarried men and women in this refined cultured manner has not hit the shores of the USA yet. For the courageous person I think this could be one heck of a business opportunity! [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at May 6, 2011 2:42:37 PM] |

Something really drastic, GP, either you marry him or
I'm confident you'll think of something that takes the business idea far beyond anything ever imagined ![]() Good Morning Base Campers Outpost Trek #2 - U.S. Air Force @ Collatz Conjecture - the same crew has seen to it that we "only" have 91,477,295 points to go! tgwakko noticed that all his GPU results since Apr22 are marked "invalid" and is working hard on solving the issue. Do you have a result yet, The Great? Besides, he cannot get into the Collatz Forum. Not even through a cat flap. Hopefully, that shall be solved soon. One dedicated cruncher should not be burdened so heavily. In spite of it being almost dark I went geocaching again last night. Here's my log: Nearly killed me! Started out late in the day. Was right at the spot, and I'm proud that lechef69 has accepted my answer to his question. The blackberry vines kept snarling my feet. The road to the granite slab ran along a chain link fence raised to protect newly planted "Christmas Trees". Had to (brutally) wiggle past grown-up needle trees with needles like - well, needles. Going uphill was difficult, too, because of logging, and finally nature got me: Fell flat on my stomach, Garmin in one hand and Sony camera in the other. None of us were hurt. The view from the granite slab was pure magic: The new moon, the almost-dark-scenery, the white flowering bushes, and the nightingale singing ... - and I got myself a new friend: lechef69 A Kiss Makes the World Beautiful ... - and Binaca Breath Sprays Make the Kisses Wonderful Enjoy sound as well as video .... What a Wonderful World ![]() |
