Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.
THX 1138
I was sort of hoping for no snow for the hunt. Thought it would be different is all.
Rush's sure fire plan to tell Ares that it is going to snow. 1)Climb onto Ares' roof, 2)wait for him to open his window and stick his head out. 3)When he does - drop a snowball on his head. 4)Laugh 5) Carefully climb down and run.

ares' sure fire plan to watch rush make a fool of himself. 1) wait for rush to climb the roof. 2) watch rush slip on the ice. 3) laugh as i call the paramedics to take rush to the hospital :)
Rush's pre-plan as to avoid making a fool of himself. 1) Buy a harness 2) buy some rope and carabiners. 3) Buy cramp-ons 4) Climb the roof when Ares isn't home. (Insert cheesy sounding evil-laugh here)I think I've got you now!! Ha-ha.
Like THX, I was hoping... Well, snow's otay, but I wish it wouldn't bring the cold temps with it. That's me. A wuss.
The Brown says we got four inches and there's five in St. Paul.
The Brown one and I are battling, I don't know... Don't know if colds or if ittiz due to the destruction called "redoing an old house." I'm hoping things improve at least by this Friday. Else I'll not be able to get up and out to hunt!
Allison, thanks for the "Ergo." When someone carries a logical thought to it's conclusion, then I can get it.
Glad you've got things working better, Jakey. Thanks much, Ian. That was really nice o'you.
My morning has already been crazy. Went to a 9 AM doc appointment just to be told it's not until 3 PM. What a way to start a Monday. Oh, well.... we have snow!!!!
Queen, I don't "feel" sick, but just have this head o'stuff that keeps draining and has given me really bad lung congestion. Like no fever or anything, but I cannot get up once I've fallen asleep! As long as I keep going - I'm fine. But cannot wake up in the mornings. And the sleeping's not been all that great... Last nite was the first nite in about one or two weeks where I actually got a good nite's rest...
As did The Brown. But *he's* been having first sweats, then chills. But no fever...
I really think all the 125 +/- year-old dust that's flying around here is bothering us and what's making us "sick" is the infection we're getting in our lungs from the yucky stuff dripping down and sitting there.
He thinks ittiz a cold.
But, I've no "MD" behind my name, so what do I know?
Well, will be to'ing and fro'ing. No rest for the wicked...
Green: I tend to go for Day-Quil - nondrowsey - and that seems to help. Woke up with a cold Friday AM. It really eases the suffering so that I can tend to whatever I need to do. Of course, I am also doing the Vit. C thing.
Ares, Anybuddy... You ever work on a old house? I don't think ittiz so much the old dust from centuries ago, but the *new* paneling, *new* plastic-like baseboards, *new* paneling seam strips, and the *new* paneling glue-stuff that comes in a tube and looks like caulk, that's going in the kitchen. The dust from all the sawing is quite a bit... And you know how they say that all that stuffs got chemicals and formaldyde and junque...
But Pickles and The Kids are fine... And, I *think* things seemed to get a titch better being oot and aboot yesterday...
yep. my brother's spent the last 9 or 10 months remodeling the house he bought in april. built in 1908 or so. ripped it down completely to the studs. and i must say it was good experience for me too. lost a bit of excess weight in the process. plastic dust. very bad. it was a lot more fun doing the demolition though as compared to replacing the old stuff.
Green, sorry to hear your not feeling well. I was sick with a cold last year during the hunt and it was no fun.
Also, last winter Scribe & I redid our bathroom. I gave myself a major sinus infection from too much dust. I should have worn a mask but figured I'd be ok because it was such a small room.........I was wrong.
Finally! the snow comes. No doubt it was placed last night, it's just sitting out there now, waiting for someone to pick it up
Just think, next week at this time, we will have the first two clues out, and after the nonsense "in a public park in st. paul" 1st clue, we can really start going
If we don't get more snow by next week Wednesday in order to help in the ground coverage, my fear is another Newell hunt. Will be very disappointed if that happens.
Yes, I know it's been found prior to the hunt, but it still puts a damper in the hunt. PP would have to have a backup just because there is always a chance if it is hidden prior to the start of the hunt of it being found. I was told by PP that they didn't have to hide in before the hunt. So only the hiders know when they hid it.
You raise an interesting question JT. I wonder if the employees of the PP, especially those closely affiliated with the hunt, read our posts and take into consideration the various theories presented here.

Has anyone heard if we are supposed to get more snow this week? Also, are the temps going to stay cold enough for the snow to stay?

heathen! blasphemer! be gone with you. and make sure your wife knows about your sins. lol.
Highs in the 20's all week.
More snow on Thur, Fri.
not a lot more snow in the current forecasts, rush, but it should be a bit colder. we might have some snow for the hunt.

of course predicting the weather a week in advance is like trying to predict where the med's gonna be. here's my sure-fire weather-prediction method:
to find todays forecast: open window. put head outside window.
to find tomorrow's forecast: wait until tomorrow. open window. put head outside window.
of course if its cold outside you may want to be gentle on your heat bill and close that window, but its a guaranteed method.
Thanks fellas! I would've checked myself, however, this computer at this school is EXTREMELY slow and it continually loses contact with the server.

WE MUST HUNT, WE MUST HUNT, WE MUST HUNT,...

You better get better:-)
Already having my yearly dream "I found the medallion". But, my dreams have yet to come true.
My morning has already been crazy. Went to a 9 AM doc appointment just to be told it's not until 3 PM. What a way to start a Monday. Oh, well.... we have snow!!!!
Don't know if colds or if ittiz due to the destruction called "redoing an old house."
probably a little of both. but i've learned that benadryl is my friend. hope you get well.

Ares, Beneydril and I are NOT friends!!! If I just sniff the bubble wrap it comes in, I'm passed out for a week!
I'm gonna get some Vitamin C/zinc stuff today (yummy, chewy tablets!) and maybe check out some over-the-counter dryer-uppers.

ouch. sometimes i wish it'd do that to me :) that's ok. i don't have an md behind my name either so i wasnt' dispensing medical advice.
mornin everyone
Hey, Ares!! How was your weekend? Are you happy to see the snow?
Good morning, Shoveler! Are your shovels all ready?
oh yeah. incredibly happy. bring on the winter sports!
I know I'm way off topic...
Ares, Anybuddy... You ever work on a old house? I don't think ittiz so much the old dust from centuries ago, but the *new* paneling, *new* plastic-like baseboards, *new* paneling seam strips, and the *new* paneling glue-stuff that comes in a tube and looks like caulk, that's going in the kitchen. The dust from all the sawing is quite a bit... And you know how they say that all that stuffs got chemicals and formaldyde and junque...
But Pickles and The Kids are fine... And, I *think* things seemed to get a titch better being oot and aboot yesterday...
I don't know. Never mind.
Know what its like to remodel, can definately make you feel sick. Hope you feel better soon! Getting out and getting fresh air sure seems help.
MARLEY and Kal
yes my shovels are ready, my good friend the Blue Rajah has his silverware all polished, and the Bowler has her skull ball ready to roll as well.
yep. my brother's spent the last 9 or 10 months remodeling the house he bought in april. built in 1908 or so. ripped it down completely to the studs. and i must say it was good experience for me too. lost a bit of excess weight in the process. plastic dust. very bad. it was a lot more fun doing the demolition though as compared to replacing the old stuff.

Temps are suppose to stay cool which means no melting should happen. That's a plus. However, more snow would help.
TD Ihope you are wrong in that prediction.. I really dislike NeWell.....
I can't imagine that it's hidden yet. I'd be concerned that it may be found before the hunt begins. Very sad day in the cooler if that should happen.
when thats happened in the past they have re-hidden it, im sure the PP has a backup plan or two in place
if they didn't hide it by now, there would be tracks and a hole dug up where it is hidden.
Yes, I know it's been found prior to the hunt, but it still puts a damper in the hunt. PP would have to have a backup just because there is always a chance if it is hidden prior to the start of the hunt of it being found. I was told by PP that they didn't have to hide in before the hunt. So only the hiders know when they hid it.
I'm sure whoever hides it is getting a kick out of reading everybody's theories on it.
Wouldn't that be an entertaining position to be in?
I have to say YES to that thought as well. I think I'd enjoy that position and would go the park just for entertainment.
You raise an interesting question JT. I wonder if the employees of the PP, especially those closely affiliated with the hunt, read our posts and take into consideration the various theories presented here.
Joe!!
Rushmore, if they don't, they should.
I think the ultimate would be if they mentioned the cooler crew, directly or indirectly, in one of the clues. (Hint, HINT)
I think the ultimate would be if they mentioned the cooler crew, directly or indirectly, in one of the clues. (Hint, HINT)
Mention who?
:-)
Yeah, who?
What?
How would the PP cover their tracks if they wait to hide it, wouldn't the spot be a little obvious?
They could make a whole bunch of other tracks in the area, to sort of disguise the area. That's my theory, anyway.
