I was the fifth person to find this cache and the first American to.

FATF!! (Fist Ami to Find) I decided to search for this cache today during my daily lunch time Geocaching adventure. I left my workplace it the Miesau Army Depot in my Dodge Nitro Decepticon Transformer Geocachingmobile and after in about 10 – 15 minutes I was at the parking spot. I remembered this location since I have already found the cache at the wasserturm.

I entered the coordinates in my Garmin Colorado 400t and headed out to the cache. As I neared the cache location I found it a bit of a challenge to find the actual cache. My had a good signal on my GPS but was still unable to find it. I decided to use my cacher instincts and forget about the GPS. In less then five more minutes I finally found the cache. It is about 20 meters off the listed coordinates. I found it at N 49.28.348 E 7.23.095. I quickly signed the logbook and replaced the cache right where, and exactly how, I found it.

I dropped in one of my WORLD FAMOUS Germany Bert Wooden Nickel Travel Bugs.

After finding the cache I visited with the horses that were enjoying their lunch in the nearby pasture. They would not come hear due to the electric fence around the pasture.

My personal trackables and a coupla of other trackables visited the cache.

Thanks for creating this cache and showing me a spot in Germany that I never would have visited. Good luck to the next seekers and please remember … no geocache find is worth losing your life or getting seriouly injured. SAFETY FIRST!!!

A cache find a day helps keep the doctor away.

Ok..well last night the wife and printed out the recipe for the original Mean Green Juice recipe that was featured on Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I found the recipe HERE. The recipe is:

6 Kale Leaves
1 Cucumber
4 Celery Stalks
2 Green Apples
1/2 Lemon
1 piece of ginger

The Vogelweh commissary did not have and Kale so we substituted another type of cabbage.  I can’t remember the exact name of it right now.

We pull out our Kitchen Aid mixer and the accessory kit that I bought her for X-mas or her birthday a few years back.  We had never had a chance to use the juicer attachement so it took us a while to figure out how it all went together.

We chopped up all our ingredients and shoved them in the mixer.  Since this was our first time it took us a while to figure out the right amount of stuff to put in at one time.

It took us about 15 minutes to juice all the vegetables and fruit and I think after we get used to making it the time it takes will decrease.

So…..now it was done.

I should have taken a photo of the concoction but I forgot.  Next time I won’t forget!

I pour a tall glass for the wife and another for me.

The first sip was scary.  It actually tasted pretty good!  It had a kinda tart and spicy taste.   We had not strained the pulp out so it was also pretty thick.  After a few minutes of drinking it I actually felt a bit lightheaded and nauseous.  I think the nauseous feeling is only because I am not used to the taste yet and the cabbage was not the right kind.

I have a few more recipes and will look for more to find out which ones are the best for us.

We are starting slowly and have not really read much into the whole program yet.  One of the difficult parts will be giving up coffee.  I drink a lot of it and according to the plan we are not supposed to drink any at all.

A good friend of mine recently got an iPhone 4 and asked me how he can use it to create, edit, and store documents such as Excel and Word. I was gonna write him a lengthy email explaining how to do this but I figured it would be better to write here so more people can use my method.

First off you need to get a DropBox account. DropBox is online storage where you can place documents online so that they are always available to you. It is completely secure and there is even a public folder where you can put documents you want to share. DropBox gives you 2 GB of free space and you can earn more by referring people to them. They also have a very reasonably priced subscription plan where you can get 50 GB of space. Right now they charge $9.99 for 50 GB and $19.99 for 100 GB. I only use the free space am am up to 3.5 GB due to referrals. You can install DropBox on all your computers and your files will be synced. Dropbox also keeps the most up-to-date version of you files on your PC and/or iPhone/iPad so that you can access them when offline.

So….go to http://db.tt/VLNxuRi to install DropBox on your PC, MAC, or Linux machine. Yes, I get more space if you join by clicking the link.

Now that you have DropBox set up on your computer, you now need to go to the Apple App Store on your iPhone / iPad. Search for DROPBOX and install. IT IS FREE!!

Now that you have it installed on your iPhone / iPad just click on the DropBox icon and you will see the directory structure like shown below.  See that folder that says “Public”? That is where you put documents that you want to share with others.  Others can see, but not edit these documents unless they download them.

Just tap one of the folders to enter it.  Below you can see I entered the Public folder

You can not edit or create documents in Dropbox.  You need Office 2 Plus for this.

Office2 Plus is not free if you want to be able to create or edit documents. I am not sure what the price is right now since I have already activated the edit document functions.  For Excel spreadsheets you can only edit .XLS files, not the new .XLSX files. So remember this if you want to be able to edit your spreadsheets.

Here I open a Word document in Office2 Plus, edit, and then save it.
