I learned to code in Fortran in case that’s remotely helpful

Sorry, but AQ is a strictly COBOL shop. Now, where did I leave those punched cards again?

The struggle is real when you are trying to find every scrap of Tan-Z you can find to finish up stamps. Hugs to Diana as she navigates this catastrophe.

After the zombie apocalypse we’ll be burning furniture for warmth, reading by candle light, and stocking up on ammo.

When is that exactly, I need to pencil that in on my calendar. Also, I guess I need to stock up on wooden furniture!

Sorry, but AQ is a strictly COBOL shop.

Hey Uncca Wassa, did you have to walk uphill in the snow to school... both ways?

Thank you for any guidance .

We must be era-twins. I turned in my trays of punch cards to the wizards who took them behind closed doors, to the massive machines, and back came yards and yards of green & white striped paper, less if it stopped part-way through the cards because there was an error. Fun times . . . NOT!!

When you at the CT boxes, there are numbers 1-10. Look at the end (after 10) and you will find an arrow to the right. Click on it, and it takes you to the rest of the boxes. Windham Is there. You are only seeing about half of the listed boxes. Pages 1-10.

When I searched for Windham county and included archived clues, I ended up with 5 pages of boxes.

I exported to CSV and then filtered by Active=NO.
I ended up with 144 boxes.

I just emailed the excel spreadsheet to you.

I loved Fortran, but punched cards, not so much. One typo and the card was ruined and you had to start over with a new card. Pretty expensive since I was paying my way through college at the time and boxes of cards weren't cheap. Today I still marvel at being able to just backspace and retype mistakes online.

I'm guessing that they are stored on the DEVICE and not the ACCOUNT.

Yes, Clue Tracker stores its lists of boxes on your phone or tablet. There is no way to have the lists stay in sync automatically across two or more devices, but you can share a list from one device and import the data into another one (even if the trail names are different). Please see our FAQ entries on sharing:

I have a lifetime subscription paid in full . I’m too old, blind, and osteoporosis-ridden to box, plant, or maintain. Can you take my lifetime funds and extend it to maintenance or whatever?

At one of his concerts, Sir Paul asked if there were any guitarists in the audience. And then went on to tell them they were playing Blackbird wrong.

Probably because they haven't gotten the Paul McCartney finger flicky thing down. highly technical term there. I can do it, but not well at all. So I too am playing Blackbird wrong when I can even remember how to play it (which is terribly, I'm an awful guitarist). :-D

A friend noticed this was available via Amazon at an event last weekend. We thought, ‘It couldn’t be the real thing.’ Nevertheless, my order came in today and someone must have found a box with extra color box color wheels in a storage room.

Looks like there’s 5 left, so thought I’d share before a non-letterboxer nabs them!

Anyone with a truck in the Traverse City, Michigan area this weekend that wants to pick up a load of free carving material? Slightly sooty... It has to be gone by Monday.

Thank you! It's pretty devastating. I hate to see all this stuff head to a landfill, but I have nowhere to go with it and has to get out of the house before they can start the remediation and rebuilding process.

Is the material still usable? Can it be stored somewhere until you get your feet on the ground? Is it possible to have insurance cover it along with the rest of the damage? Any possibility of someone else taking over the cutting and shipping of products, for a split of the revenue?

I would bet we can start a GoFundMe page and all the awesome people in this letterboxing community that you have taken care of over the years could raise enough money to pay for a storage unit to store that stuff and save it from the landfill for sure?
You have always taken great care of me over the years I'm sure I'm not alone. It would be my honor to pay some of the kindness back anybody else?
