Ever heard of a squirrel chew? I bet we have 100 outages caused by squirrels alone in a year. I can't imagine a guess on drops lost.

They like the nickel in the metal.

which is what i feel like we have at home until the new dsl modem arrives today.

You know what would be kind of fun? With all of the talented people here on this site, it would be great to design a Christmas card with a Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt theme. And the message could say "You know what Christmas means?.....Only one month away from the medallion hunt! Happy hunting....I mean Holidays."

Maybe the money raised could help pay for some things?

Does anyone work in printing?

you don't have to, go to an online site and order them.

Do that for my christmas cards every year (I do my own 3D computer art images for the card fronts, might not be perfect, but spending time on it I think is a gift to the people I send em to)

Its a garmin - etrex... one of those yellow ones that you probably see all over the place....

checked it out in the store, and it seemed to work fine...turned on and all... but the guy was in a rush, so it was "buy it or put it back... cause I gotta close up!"

So I bought it....

got it home, put new batteries in it....

It turns on, goes to whatever the first screen is... and then just sits there... you can press anything you want, you can smack it.... it doesnt do anything but sit there and look yellow and stupid.....

I took it back the next day, and the same guy tried to say that it worked fine the day before-hand, and I must have done something to it, when I got it home....

so basically ive got a piece of crap, that I payed $150 bux for....

If I would have had more time, I could have checked out the etrex legend they had for 15 bux more.... but that was gone by the time I made it back there, the next day....

It wasnt a total bust though..... cause I picked up two disc golf discs at the same store for super cheap....for practice rounds by myself(one of which has since been lost).....

Hey nick, bring your gps to the halloween hoopla, I'm sure given the talents around here, we can make sure it either works or doesn't.

Do you guys recommend Magellan or Garmin, or are they both pretty equal? I've been shopping on e-bay.
