You knew the clues were gonna get harder as we go....

Soon, I will post the next clue.

Perhaps this website could help....

EarthExplorer

And, yes.

There will be math involved.

deleted, and added.......... Oh, never mind, I see you added more. I got stuck thinking about the first part, and now have no clue? Or a bunch of clues?:icon_scratch:

I'll have to back up so I can try to follow. I'm kinda jumping in the end here. About what post does this begin? I can't seem to find the beginning.

I'm not sure myself where the beginning is, but it is an idea that I developed about the first of this year.

I'd start about Jan. 1 of this year....:dontknow:

Can anyone narrow it down?

I'll do a bit of "archive" work later to see what I can find.

Hope you have been well, my Friend! :thumbsup:

Best Wishes,

Scott

Dram, my Friend...

As I search the archives of this thread,
Hoping to find the beginning of "The Tube,"

I notice your take on my humor...
Along with others....

In light of this recent revelation,

And your postscript statement,

I offer this for your consideration...

Hope you are ready for the Summer, my Friend!

Best Wishes always,

Scott


And then you change it....

Sheesh!

Yep.

I found it.

The first mention of "The Tube."

Page #234. Post #18705. For "Charter" Members.

December 20, 2015.

A date that I should remember...

The day my Mom breathed her last;
And I was there....to capture that moment...to capture forever the life given to me has now died....

No clues here...only memories as I sift through photographs....

Scott

Good luck, All!

Always,

My Best Wishes,

Scott

Some correspondence Nitric and I were having prompted some research and I came across this incredible video. Thought I'd post it as I think you'll all appreciate it. It's a video of the Elgin watch factory and how they made watches. We all know of the precision workings inside the watch, but imagine the precision of the machines required to make the tiny parts that make up the workings. Factor in that these machines and subsequent watches were built this way a 100 years ago - way before CAD, computers, 3D printing and CNC technology were even a thought. Amazing engineering! We can (or were in some cases) amazingly smart little critters. Enjoy and contemplate.

Here, in one word, is what is involved with the next SET of clues:

"TRIANGULATION"

By now, you should have three locations in mind in the search.

Let's add another.....

But first, shouldn't we have a drink or two at the saloon before we ride on?

I'm buying!

Best,

Scott

WOW! I Saw a $20 bill in the parking lot of the grocery store today!

No one was around, so, it's mine!

I splurge!
I get lettuce and all the fixins of a "Scott Salad." :notworthy:
(I'm hard-boiling the eggs now....)

I'm gonna eat like the King Rabbit for a week!

"Strange Ways?"

Indeed!

What Dressing is your favorite?

Not that junk with pickle relish!

Keeping in mind that I've got a fist-sized hunk of blue cheese waiting to be used....

"Okee doke, then. Blue cheese it is."

Mixed with sour cream to provide texture and consistency, and....

"Other" seasonings.

To improve your enjoyment.

Such as chives.
So under used.....:dontknow:




DAMN it's good!

Play with your food, Y'all!

Find the seasonings that tickle your fancy!

I wasn't too far off on the co-ords....
Except for the minus....I think? :icon_scratch:

OFFICIAL CLUE c1:

DDS Co-ords=

44.15/-103.77

I remember waking up in the mountains one morning because a squirrel was in a tree overhead eating nuts and dropping the shells on my tent.....Back in the 80's? :icon_scratch:

Best,

Scott

It appears that I was correct the first time.....

CORRECTION OF CLUE c1:

The co-ords are:
44 degrees, 9 minutes and 20 seconds N and 103 degrees, 47 minutes and 57 seconds W.

No minus here.....

Sorry for any confusion.

Best,

Scott

Soon, we will journey from this location, and, yes, math AND geometry will be involved.....

So, the picture issue seems to be resolved.

Now we are having conflicts with the page numbers and post numbers?

Where we goin' to next....8-)

Hope you have been well my Friend!

Have a great weekend!

Me?

I've set up a meeting at the College with my Professor tomorrow morning to discuss my Power-Point Project.

Then I'll stop by the Animal Shelter to take supplies and talk with Julie about collecting for them this Summer.

Then, when I get home, it's an all nighter putting together my Power-Point!

Yardwork?

"My! We'll have to scrub those nails! Have you been digging into the earth again?"

I saw a documentary on geniuses, very interesting, it appears that the majority of us are actually born with genius level IQ's but for whatever reason we spend the rest of our developing years dumming ourselves down. As kids my brother and I tested as having genius level IQ's, we got to take all kinds of extra placement type tests for our schools, turns out they got extra funding somehow for having "smart kids". I never really fit the mold or followed the path of my "expected potential", in fact I've always refered to myself as a "genius level underachiever". Not that I don't like using my brain, I'm an info junkie, if I'm not learning I'm not happy. I've just never been able to picture myself devoted to one specific task or discipline. I'm all over the place, for instance ever since Dieselram posted that sailing youtube link I can't get enough, I've been stuffing my brain learning everything I can about sailing and sailboats, and the logistics of living aboard and going around the world. Next week it might be model rocketry, I can't help it, it's a big world with lots to learn. Needless to say I have never been bored in my life, I can keep myself entertained indefinitely, and it doesn't take much to do it.

A familiar scenario for me, also....

When I was in the second grade, they came around with those test for the 5th and 6th graders.

They had a few tests set aside for younger students to take, that they requested of the Principal to choose.

I was chosen.

I placed in the top 2%.

OF ALL TESTS TAKEN AT MY SCHOOL DISTRICT! (Basically-The whole town)
Including the 5th and 6th graders!


When word got out, I was ruined socially.....:tongue3:

Immediately, my Parents were called to the school.

It was suggested that I be advanced a grade or two....

While my Dad sat with his mouth open, wondering how his little boy could warrant such a School meeting and what it all meant,

My Mom sat forward in her chair and said, "NO!!"

I don't remember much else of the conversation, but I was introduced to an additional "curriculum" for a while after that.

I always finished this extra work early and often found myself bored. And finding ways to get into trouble....

It turns out that I could have Graduated High School nearly 2 years early, but WHY?!?

Can't be a Soldier until you're 18! :notworthy:

Best Wishes,

Scott

Remember these?

(Additional thought: The composition of this photograph, though simple enough, through placement, angle, background, lighting...etc...will keep you looking at it beyond a simple glance. To me, it has meaning....

If you appreciate images and such....
I certainly do! :thumbsup:)
