Congrats Vic on your 1000th. We never got much of a chance to get to know one another except that 0ne time meeting at the Pavilion at the Waterville Elks that time when we were putting together the group so to speak. Hope we can get together at some time in the future.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. That was a goal I wanted to reach when I first started this game. Took a lot longer then I had originally thought, but as some of you know there were issue's to deal with along the way.It doesn't bother me at all that others like EMS Danel, Dubord, have done it in such a short time. What does hurt is that my OLD friend Hollora beat me by a mile.:D:D:D

John as I'm sure you are aware it's not the quantity but the quality that counts in most all things. Same with a person's character. I knew the first time we met you were a great guy, and all of our correspondence since only confirms my initial thoughts. You'll be back one of these days and we can do some caching together.

In my own opinion . . . there's no feeling that can quite compare to the very first found cache. Honestly, I can't remember any of my milestone caches . . . but I'll always remember that first one.

Thanks - I have always had a hard time thinking up user names. Reworking our last name into something that fits into geocaching was just fun. Then I shamelessly used my husbands truck for the avatar - anyone who drives around Maine has a pretty good chance of spotting it - sort of a moving benchmark... It might take a while but I will get the whole family excited about this - made them go with me to 2 caches this evening. They wouldn't admit it but I think they were impressed with how they were hidden. Good stuff.

And isn't how your name evolved interesting as that is how hollora came to be......only as a kennel name. Last name, first names, anagrams and hollora evolved. Worked for a kennel and showing dogs, why not for other things.

Welcome - enjoy - Cache On - Cache Happy!:)

I like the flame paint job on the truck . . . however if you want I can make it look really good . . . life-like and realistic if you want . . . of course you and your husband probably wouldn't appreciate my handiwork afterwards.;):D

On the serious side . . . assuming you're an independent trucker . . . and if so . . . my thoughts are with you . . . since I know the price of diesel is a killer for independent truckers right now. I can control the cost of my heating oil usage by going to wood . . . and I can control the cost of my gasoline usage by limiting trips and using my car vs. the 4Runner . . . but truckers don't have those options (assuming your truck doesn't run on firewood or nuclear energy. ;):D)

Actually I have a stomach ache right now . . . but that may be due to the fact that my bowels are irritated. ;):D

Yep, fuel prices really do hurt - we only have one truck but you still spend a lot of time crossing your fingers that everything runs smoothly. He can do most of the maintainence/ repairs himself so that does help save money.

And, I guess thanks but no thanks on the offer to further "trick the truck"... but I did entertain it for a minute! ; )
