My Christmas present is broken!
What a great day yesterday! Coaster, Keepeer and I all went to the Cache and Coffee 2010 — Dublin Edition. I drove and took my Aveo Travel Bug, which got logged a couple times. The event was a great time, but it was odd walking into the event and not knowing much of anyone there.
- Me at the geocaching event in Dublin, Ohio wearing my Christmas present from my parents! Thanks to Coaster for taking the picture
That hasn’t happened in a long time, but it was fun getting to know new people! Plus, I got to wear my Christmas present!! However, there are two problems with the present that some geocachers pointed out to me at the event. It turns out I never looked at it too closely. Can you find what’s wrong?
Also, I used my recently updated TomTom yesterday, but I didn’t realize the map update was going to change how the software worked. There are some features on the newer versions of TomTom that didn’t work on mine, and that was OK with me because I don’t need all kinds of bells and whistles on it. It did what I needed it to and that was the important thing. Well, now they work and as I was driving yesterday, I started hearing this DING! DING! DING! That I had never heard before. I thought it was the car. I started freaking out, looking around the car for any weird lights or anything. And I kept hearing the stupid dinging! Eventually, I found that it’s TomTom warning me that I was (barely) speeding. That got annoying really quick, haha! It was also a little embarrassing with having Coaster and Keepeer in the car and they could hear it every time it went off.
It has been a great weekend, but now it looks like I have to make my way back to Kent. School and work are waiting :\
The North Coordinates are labeled West. LOL!
I’m guessing the gift was from a muggle?
LOL…I just noticed the second mistake…the West coordinates have three digits in the minutes portion of the coordinates instead of two.
Yep! You got both of them
Gift was from my parents (not muggles). It was my dad’s idea. I’m pretty sure the shop where he had it made got it messed up.
hehe, I still like the shirt!
Me too
It was a HUGE hit at the event!
Nice shirt – I noticed both mistakes. Remember, it’s the thought that counts.
Wish I could have gone to C&C – Dublin yesterday. I’ve got a bum hip and can barely walk. Spent Friday afternoon/evening in the ER.
It definitely is the thought that counts. My mom felt horrible when I told her about it and we’re going to be getting it fixed.
What’s going on that you were in the ER?? Are you doing OK now? Hope you feel better!
hey the shirt is great regardless!! only when you said “look for the mistake” did i see it! i would have never noticed without you prompting. great picture too!
Yea, I didn’t notice it at all until we were at the event and a couple cachers had said something. They only noticed the decimal point though. I noticed the North coords labeled West today when I was telling my mom what happened lol.
I would leave the mistake. That way you will know who the muggles are as they won’t notice it being wrong.
LOL Cool idea, but it would really bug me to walk around with those mistakes on my shirt!
Cute shirt!!!
Thank you
I love it! And love that my dad came up with the idea!
