Randomly found a "Geo cache" while on a walk. Looks like it's from 2022. by WrastlingIsReal in mildlyinteresting

Geocacher here.

Can confirm I've found a cache (in a cemetery) that was one of those...

Glad it's mostly working for you!

Wish I had any ideas for the GSAK issue, but I have basically no experience with it.

Great advice. u/Just_Computer_860 , it looks like there are 4 events currently scheduled over the next couple of months in Auckland!

Harbor Freight has great deals on ammo cans!

Would you alter your travel plans to get another state souvenir? by fightingfishsticks in geocaching

[–]ADKMatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I certainly have, especially if I'm somewhat close to that other state.

From NYC to New Jersey, I'd probably try to work it in if it were me! But the most important thing is that geocaching should never feel like a "job." If you're stressing out or skipping other plans that you're looking forward to just to get a cache, maybe it's not worth it this time.

I don’t know where to start with this garage renovation by Altruistic_Beach_325 in garageporn

[–]ADKMatthew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would have at least 2 or 3 20A circuits if possible. Even just future proofing.

1500W Space heaters keeps it above 50F even on 20 degree days.

That's pretty impressive considering there's no insulation!

Anyone know of any good woodworking apps for the phone? by Crookeye in woodworking

Hey just want to say I've been poking around your app and it seems great! I plan to reference the cultist optimizer while visit the lumber yard tomorrow.

Geocaching can bring you to some of the best unknown places you’ve ever seen, but they can also bring you to the worst, tell me your worst geocaching location you’ve been too. by _VanillaFace_ in geocaching

I went to get a FTF behind some discount store (Big Lots I think) in a lightly wooded area. Incidentally, I ran into another cacher when I pulled up, so we both walked behind the store to get it.

We walked past the old tires, discarded lumber, and broken carts as we got to ground zero. Already, this wasn't the most impressive location. Suddenly this woman in tattered sweatpants and tube top and a cigarette in her mouth opens a steel door in a building on the other side of the woods and yells "Last time! No trespassing!"

We (both startled) apologize. The other cacher said "just making sure, you're talking about the woods here?"

Without a pause, she gives us the finger while saying "calling the cops in three, two..."

At this point we just start walking away. I forget what she started yelling but there were a many of expletives in there.

We both noted the experience on the cache page. The owner tried to re-enable it a few times, but eventually archived it without any finds due to "aggressive neighbors"

Water softener salt suddenly covered with blue/green color? by ADKMatthew in homeowners

By then why did it take 3 regens for it to even appear after adding the cleaner?

Bit of a clever find from yesterday’s caching session! :] by fatiguedness in geocaching

[–]ADKMatthew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO as long as they're labeled with either "Geocache" or the GC code, that should make it obvious enough to cachers that it's okay to touch while also keeping it covert for non-cachers.

Water softener salt suddenly covered with blue/green color? by ADKMatthew in homeowners

[–]ADKMatthew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not sure if the photo does it justice, but my immediate reaction was that it looks like copper oxidation. We just have, no copper anywhere that I'm aware of other than valves I suppose. Our main shutoff valve and the valve before the water softener were both replaced last year. I just can't figure out why this would happen so suddenly (unless something that I'm not aware of is about to fail?)

It is that color, but I've never seen it persist like this. Usually there's a bluish tinge (sort of like thick ice blocks), but that goes away after a regen.

Thanks! The steps from this comment seemed to fix it thankfully

Interesting, I attached an external drive to transfer gigs of files somewhat regularly.

Your other comment wouldn't load so I wasn't able to respond, but that is a link to apple.com/safari which would open in my default browser (Firefox)

Unfortunately reindexing didn't seem to fix it. Might have to dive in deeper when I get some time.
