Apparently the former caver that I was worried about, has been regularly posting b.s. to Instagram, and after reading all their retarded post, it seems clear, that they are just going through a "woe as me," phase, along with OCD, and a personality of needing direct immediate attention from others, yet while being an expert or highly-opinionated on various topics, etc. ( probably 60%"of the people on Instagram ) So I am bailing out. Back to your regular-scheduled program. One of the many odd things about social media, is that we learn how weird or bizarre our acquaintances are. ___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers

[Texascavers] Thank you, Pete
Here are some links to pictures of Pete ( from just a simple Google search ) https://www.cavetexas.org/photos/tcr2007/images/Heuss/KH-2007-18-0003.jpg https://www.cavetexas.org/photos/tsa200904/images/lindsley/DSC_2145_1024x685.jpg https://www.cavetexas.org/photos/tsa200904/images/lindsley/DSC_2145_1024x685.jpg https://www.cavetexas.org/photos/tsa200904/images/lindsley/DSC_2145_1024x685.jpg https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTEkhCwHNX873ZqJt69zg9-LwuivXnu6G9IfRG0cJD0w6ylOzoD-A I imagine there are lots more somewhere on the web. My first memory of Pete was at the 1989, MexSpeleo. He tried to get me to come over and help with the hot-tub.I must have known him prior to that from several TCRs and spring conventions, but that was the first time we had ever chatted. I was astonished that he had come all the way south of Ciudad Valles to build a hot-tub. I was not into hot-tubs, and had plans to go poke around in a really awesome cave with some cavers from Missouri. But I think, I might have split a log or thrown some logs in a pile for 5 minutes. I am sure it was not enough. It looked like he ended up doing it all and all by himself. I think I only really helped him once with a hot-tub, and that it was up in the upper peninsula of Michigan at Marquette NSS Convention. I spent the night in the Strickland house one time, and took a tour of his brother's orchid greenhouse, and listened to his other brother talk about space topics, which I found fascinating, and I remember meeting his kids very briefly for a group-photo at the NSS Howdy Party in northern Vermont. Thank you. Pete would always greet me at TCR or at the TSA Convention, and he would always ask me how I was doing, or if I still had the SpeleoStationwagon or if I had been down to Mexico or something to strike up a conversation. Everytime, I arrived at the campground at an NSS Convention ( about 12 times ?? ), he would greet me, and invite me into Groad Hollow to sit in with the real cavers. Unfortunately, I was always too pressed for time. We can all certainly say that there won't ever be another man or caver like Pete Strickland.

[Texascavers] Thank you all
Thank you all for your moral support. I love you all. Even those that subtly refer to me a troll. In reference to the caver that recently retired from his present speleo-commitments, I too wanted to express my appreciation. I am a speleo-outsider ( both physically and mentally ). I have never ever been to the cave preserve and maybe never will. However, I do know from first hand experience that he is very inspiring. I admire and respect him on several levels. I recall first hearing of him way back in the day at a TSA Spring Convention ( 2000 ? ).I am certain that I met him at the 2006 NSS Convention Howdy Party, and that I knew by then that he was a very dedicated Texas caver. I recall seeing his managerial capabilities at the I.C.S. in Kerrville ( 2009 ), and then again at numerous TCRs. I recall again meeting him a big pool party in Austin. I am also aware of other things that are outside the scope of this congratulatory paragraph, like the cool John Deere Jeep that he has or his cool camper-trailer, or the tiny utility truck, or his lovely wife, etc., etc. I have fond memories sitting around the caver-campfire at the TSA Spring Convention in Bracketville with his son. I retired from Cavetex. But occasionally I see something that I want to share with my caving friends. That is coming to an end. I have drifted away from my interest in caving, and now making new "virtual quasi-friends" in the nerdy world of Linux. The link below is an invite to a speleo-presentation on May 1st in Arizona. This looks interesting. Maybe a grotto could get him to give the presentation in Texas. Sorry, but I do not have a simple way to condense the link, nor the information within the article. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://arizonageologicalsoc.org/resources/Documents/Archived%2520News%2520Letters/2018/Arizona%2520Geological%2520Society%2520May%25202018%2520Newsletter.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwia5P7ruN7aAhUN3YMKHTEkDo8QFjAFegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw3CnO72Ke5R_LJ0frpj2XsU David Locklear Not Bockbeer, not a troll - just some misunderstood eccentric old fat curmudgeon that loves caves and cavers ___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers
Re: [Texascavers] Thank you for the advice
David: One major piece of advice, a little story and a song. First, the piece of advice: Before you buy your next vehicle, get a real mechanic to look it over and see if there's anything seriously wrong with it. Obviously you can 't rely on your own knowledge and observations. The little story: I just turned 76 and I've never had a new vehicle of any kind. My current vehicle is a '98 Ford Ranger which, after some minor repairs, continues to run just fine. Unless you're ready for the value of the vehicle to drop dramatically as soon as you drive it off the floor, stick to the old reliables. Now, for the little song which I learned in the 50s or 60s from a local country music station in Texas: You only get what you pay for No more or no less, Though some people expect a lot more than the rest. If you're one of those, Then you're headed for a fall. You only get what you pay for, That's all! From: Texascavers on behalf of David via Texascavers Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2017 8:31 AM To: CaveTex Cc: David Subject: [Texascavers] Thank you for the advice I had been hoping and hoping to write a happy feel-good story, as I have never done that before. But the stars did not align that way. My Sequoia has died, and needs a new motor. Below is my current thoughts on the matter, but it would be best now to just hit the delete button as it is too depressing to read. Numerous cavers offered me sound advice about my situation with my broke-down Sequoia. I just wanted to say thank you. Although, I was poking fun at myself for being such a klutz, I was stressing out about it all. A series of events unfolded last Wednesday, after my Sequoia first stalled and died. My first decision seemed to have a domino-effect to make it worse. Had I immediately called GEICO and towed the Sequioa to a shop, I might could have fixed it for under $ 2,000. But I put 100% of my faith and money in the road-side mobile mechanic, as I was way too optimistic that it was a minor problem. In hindsight, the mobile-mechanics final efforts to help me may have damaged the engine. He seemed to be trying his best to help me, and I was grateful to him at the time, as it seemed like a good fortune of him showing up, and I was out of options. But paying him cleaned out all my emergency money, and in the end, I had to call relatives for help. Almost all of those relatives, I am on unpleasant terms with. Had the plan been to change the motor, I should have left the vehicle in Mansfield, and focused on borrowing the money. But again, I chose to make the situation worse. I towed it to an expensive shop in Houston, hoping they had a better mechanic with a better option than motor replacement. Anyways, the Sequoia eventually arrived there, and that mechanic charged a 3rd diagnostic fee. He offered 2 options:A used motor with a 3 month warranty, or a new motor with a 3 year warranty.But the problem now, is that he is probably one of the most expensive shops in town, when it comes to hourly labor charges. He did say he could have it back on the road in a week.He also said the labor on the new motor would be far greater. Meaning this repair is going to be around a $ 12,000 nightmare. So my dilemma today, is to borrow money from my mom, and replace the motor, or send the Sequoia to a scrap yard. The transmission has 192,000 miles on it. The brakes need immediate replacement. Several of you said to just junk it. I am 53 and my mom is 70.I love my mom, but I would not want to borrow money from her if I were dying.I already owe her a thousand dollars.She does not have any money, but she has good credit. This problem now appears to be my 2nd biggest mistake in life, but that is only because my memory is so bad. At this stage, I would have been better off to just abandon the Sequoia when it first broke down. I think I already have wasted nearly $ 2,000. I still owe my credit union $ 8,700 on the car-loan. I am going to be in a very deep pickle jar for many years to come.I am just going to have to learn how to live in a pickle jar. Right ?? In hindsight now, buying my beloved Sequoia, was a setback.But I enjoyed it for 14 months.

Re: [Texascavers] Thank you for the advice
Dead Sequoia no bueno. Me thinks it should be relegated to boat anchor or albatross t around your neck hat you do not need. If it were me I would ditch it ASAP and come to grips with your life and stop being so much of a dufus. Donate the damn thing to KFU or some such. New cars cost a fortune and it is awful to have to pay off a car that is dead and in car heaven or hell. I think a smaller vehicle would be a good idea, maybe a Fiat, Yugo or a Lada. They would be cheap. I drove a Ford Ranger for 250,000 miles and gave it to my boy child and 360,000 miles later it is still running and he is actually going to sell it. Amazing. Of course it looks like crap. My 2003 Ford pickup has 285,000 miles on it and still runs. Fixed the breaks a few times, tightened the transmission and adjusted the clutch and I change the oil every 3,000 miles. It is a Manuel transmission which the Deer Corn mechanic recommends. If it were an automatic it would be long ago dead he says and he wants to buy the silly thing. My wife's Mazda SUV is also a manual six speed. It was the only one in San Antonio, San Mucus, and the area. My Ford was the only one in Texas at the time and I had to go to Dallas to get it. The 1983 Bronco I got from Rune Burnet still runs and has a zillion miles on it, it has been to Chiappas and back several times and to R14 on regular bi-monthly trips. So, all this is meaningless BS. Buy something cheap and buy something with a warranty that is longer than a week.

[Texascavers] Thank you very much
To the people that volunteered to sponsor my road-trip to the NSS Convention. I want to send out a huge thank you: David Locklear 10219 Antelope Alley Missouri City, TX 77459 or PayPal / Chase Quickpay at dlocklea...@gmail.com As I said before any donations will eventually be returned towards a cave project, such as one of the cave-gate projects. But before you send any $, please understand I have a job, and I can survive on rice-cakes, sardines and beanie-weanies for years if I have to, and it would not kill me to lose 50 pounds. Also, at least 34 cavers from Texas had similar expenses, and maybe even more expenses than I did. On a different note: Here are 2 videos of the band that I was told that played at the 2016 NSS Campground Party. I wish I could have stayed for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEWQJzUN6J4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpeZglzMlfQ David Locklear P.S.
