Chit Chat Thread for the week of January 5th 2009

Hello to all!

I received a new Garmin 265WT for christmas and I was browsing the internet for interesting things to put on it using my 4gb sd card. Came across this site, which has a TON of useful information. Hoping to contribute my findings over the next few weeks!!

Thanks to all who sent me birthday wishes. And I'm still old enough to be Miss POI's - er - very much older brother!

Happy Birthday and anniversary to those persons who are celebrating.

The internet is awesome. Glad I found this site. The FAQ section has already answered so many questions.

Thanks
Doc

Mike the number for the whole site is 134,737. Some people just register to download files and others join the forums. So I am not able to get a number on just the forum participants.
We also get a large number of people that never register, only about 20% of the people that come to the site register.

Miss POI

Wow

One of the 5827 was my son-in-law. A first time GPS user. I gave it to him for Christmas and he is having a fun time with it.

Thanks to POI Factory!

I have been very busy with a new job and haven't had time to get on here. The job is slowing down (some) but it gives me a chance to get back to this hobby.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

I just published the update for this weeks Red Light & Speed Camera files. I wanted to let you guys know that I am a bit behind in my research and I am waiting for a few confirmations before adding some of the most recently reported info.

If I don't feel 100% about a location I am not adding it until I am.

So if you don't see your stuff in the file yet, don't panic. Give me a week or two and it will show up.

Miss POI

To you for recruiting another member to the site with this gift

Sorry for not posting much today.

Have been sick and had to go to the ER at the hospital today. Hopefully things will improve soon.

better days ahead, and hopefully everthing is alright, and that you have a speedy recovery.

Are you Okay? Hope you feel better!

Bob

Hope everybody has a good week.

Go Blackhawks!

Try to stay warm, too -- especially those with extreme cold/snow.

Nice in Florida.No snow only sunshine.

I'm going camping with my youngest this weekend in lower Wisconsin (Indian Guides) and looks like we will have some GREAT sledding. They've got a really good tobboggan hill on the campground, so should be fun.

Keep the hot chocolate coming...

I'm lucky, it could have been much more serious than it was. It's going to be a little slow, but feeling better all the time.

Thanks so much BobDee for your well wishes!

Thanks so much redjacket3.

Things could have been a lot worse and the way it turned out is probably the best possible for the situation. Feeling better all the time.

Mowed my lawn today.

Its a great place to get sick at. Took my wife there Friday night and then I wound up getting sick shortly afterwards from being around all the sick people.

Yeah but how many are ACTIVE and how many STAY with the site?! THOSE are the numbers that really count. (I hate being a stickler for facts but, it's my job) (LOL)

Now see what the Floridians are missing! All they have is the same old crap everyday! except during Hurricane season, then things get interesting for them.

Gosh I love winter! Getting 6-10 inches of snow tonight and another three tomorrow. I feel sorry for the Kids in Florida, no sled riding, snowman making, snowball fights, skiing lessons just the thoughts of these things when they see them on television.

I got stranded in the blizzard of '78 (Connecticut). Within a month I had a new job in Florida and never looked back.

Hehe....yep. I try to avoid hospitals as much as I can.

No money to be made for the working man down there, must work and work and work and still get in debt.
To many retirees that are willing to supplement SS.
Just imagine how much that sunshine has cost you since 1978 by leaving Connecticut, since Florida is a right to work State.

I lived in Fort Meyers for three years, so your not fooling anyone with the paradise crap, lets see what happens when a Hurricane destroys your life.

So I have no problem picking up a snow shovel! and I really enjoy living on the largest port on the great lakes, and hording all the fresh water here and not going to send a drop to you guys down in paradise.
So keep trying to aggravate people with you living in the warm weather, most don't give a rats arse, and enjoy were they live or would have moved to Florida.

you will eventually return north due to thirst or loss of manufacturing because it takes water.

Through the Council of Great Lakes Governors, the region is now setting the pace in the global marketplace and protecting the world's largest single source of fresh water.

So there you go, you think you know what I want (sunshine), However I know what you need (freshwater).

I peed in those lakes. Drink up!!!

The fish do also, isn't that funny?

Not only do I drink it, but I waste Gallons of it regularly. Jet ski, swim, fish and right now Ice fish.

I live on the North Coast.

Gosh it's been a year already, time moves quickly when your having such a good time among friends.

Thanks to all for a year of friendship and banter, and to Maryann and Jon for their undaunted patience and the excellent Community they run.

Thanks to one and all!

BobDee

Congrats AZ Cardinals

Jeff

That was a surprize, didnt think that was going to happen. As they say, anyone can win at anytime. Now how much further will they go.

Bob, we took a driving trip last summer along the southern shore of Superior. In one of the maritime museums we were given an interesting factoid but now of course I don't recall the exact numbers. Something to the effect that the Great Lakes hold 95% of North America's fresh water and xx% of the entire world's fresh water. Quite an amazing statistic when you think about it. Would you happen to know the percentages?

John
Running from Minnesota east to New York, the Great Lakes are the largest body of fresh water in the world. They hold about 90 percent of the fresh water in North America and fully 20 percent of the world's entire fresh water supply.

Bob

For those that have never had the chance to see one of the Great Lakes, it's basically like standing on the beach of an ocean. Speaking of beaches there are miles of beaches along the North Coast of the United States and the Southern Coast of Canada.

And don't worry about Dog Vomit peeing in one of those Great Lakes, thats like stealing a grain of sand from the Sahara Desert. So with us controlling 95% of the fresh water sooner or later people will need it, and will move back to the region to enjoy a hot bath or a run through the sprinkler on a hot summer day,A cold drink of water right out of the tap and they will even get enjoy the four seasons.

24 Starts today - I wonder what model GPS is being used by Jack Bauer.
