==Me==
I'm the long-suffering geohash-widower of [[User:Robyn|Robyn]].

My home graticule is [[Vancouver, British Columbia]] (see today's point on the {{Today's location|lat=49|lon=-123|text=Geohashing.info}}).  Meetups in this graticule: [[:Category:Meetup in 49 -123|meetups]].

==Achievements==
My goal is to maintain a ratio of ribbons:attempts greater than 1.  I have reached that goal.  I may now safely quit geohashing.  

===Attempts===
(newest first)
*[[2013-03-10 49 -122]] ([[Surrey, British Columbia|Surrey, BC]]): Cold White Rock sidewalk. '''Success'''.
*[[2013-01-18 49 -123]] ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): A simple geohash by the side of the road turned out to be not so simple after all.  '''Success'''!
*[[2013-01-02 49 -123]] ([[Vancouver, British Columbia|Vancouver, BC]]): New Year's pubhash. '''Success'''.
*[[2011-05-21 49 -122]] ([[Surrey, British Columbia]]): Geohashing day adventure with Robyn, Elbie and Arbron.  Although this was my first unsucessful SCUBA hash attempt, we did reach the coordinates on the surface.  '''Success'''!
*[[2011-04-23 49 -122]] ([[Surrey, British Columbia]]): This is what geohashing is all about!  A great geohashing picnic in a park with four regulars, one drag-along, and four newer geohashers.  '''Success'''!
*[[2011-04-09 49 -123]] ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Reclaimed garbage dump hash with Robyn.  '''Success''', even though we forgot to bring T-Rex.
*[[2010-11-30 49 -122]] ([[Surrey, British Columbia]]): Highway hash in New Westminster. '''Success''', for what it is worth.
*[[2010-10-27 47 11]] ([[Innsbruck, Austria]]): Jingle Cow Hash and a brewery visit near Erlinger Höhe, Germany. '''Success'''.
*[[2010-10-25 48 12]] ([[Landshut, Germany]]): Met Dawidi, zb, Ekorren & Tanya then toured Regensburg. '''Success'''. 
*[[2010-10-23 49 8]] ([[Mannheim, Germany]]): Met Ekorren and Koepfel but '''thwarted''' by lacking a trained duck to reach the hash.
*[[2010-07-31 49 -122]] : ([[Surrey, British Columbia]]): Boring suburban geohash on the sidewalk with T-Rex. '''Success'''
*[[2010-07-01 49 -123]] : ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Canada Day picnic on the side of the road.  '''Success'''
*[[2010-05-22 49 -123]] : ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Mouseover Day Sechelt waterhash. A lovely day at the beach with interesting people, only '''thwarted''' by me not wanting to get wet.
*[[2010-05-21 49 -122]] : ([[Surrey, British Columbia]]): Geohashing uphill hike in the dark. It was a brilliant success, '''thwarted''' only by our sanity preventing us from going 365 metres through pitch black dense forest.
*[[2010-05-09 49 -123]] : ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): [[User:Robyn|Robyn]] and I drove all the way from Portland, and arrived slightly after midnight.  '''Thwarted''' by the really slow service at the duty-free. 
*[[2010-05-07 45 -120]] : '''Thwarted''' by barbed wire near Centerville, Washington.
*[[2010-05-02 49 -123]] : ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): [[User:Robyn|Robyn]], [[User:thepiguy|thepiguy]] and I hiked, got rained on, and ate nibs.  '''Success'''
*[[2010-04-17 49 -122]] : ([[Surrey, British Columbia]]): Didn't quite arrive at the same time as [[user:Yangman|yangman]] and [[user:Plypkie|plypkie]]. '''Success'''
*[[2010-04-15 49 -123]] : ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Aqua-hash in the Capalano watershed with [[User:Rhonda|Rhonda]] and [[User:Xore|Xore]].  '''Thwarted''' by rules. 
*[[2010-03-28_global]] : Border Global hash in Idaho.  [[User:Robyn|Robyn]] and I failed our sanity check roll, and drove 600km, chartered a helecopter and reached the coordinates.  All to celebrate Earth Day.  '''Success'''
*[[2009-12-30 49 -123]] ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Brambly hash just off the dyke south of the airport. Brought [[User:Robyn|Robyn]], met [[User:Elbie|Elbie]].  '''Success'''
*[[2009-08-30 49 -123]] ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Running and playing at Clark park.  '''Alternate'''
*[[2009-07-18 49 -123]] ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Carefully planned a long drive, followed by a long hike, followed by a long swim.  Then '''Didn't Bother'''
*[[1994-07-08 49 -123|2009-07-08 49 -123]] ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Anniversary geohash with [[User:Robyn|Robyn]]. '''Successful retrohash'''.
*[[2009-07-07 49 -122]] ([[Surrey, British Columbia]]): [[User:Elbie|Elbie's]] birthday hash outside Langley with [[User:Robyn|Robyn]].  '''Thwarted''', although I did get a new ribbon.

*[[2009-05-21 48 -123]] ([[Victoria, British Columbia]]): [[Geohashing Day]] adventure with [[user:Xore|Xore]], [[user:Elbie|Elbie]], [[user:Robyn|Robyn]] and [[User:Rhonda|Rhonda]].  '''Success'''.
*[[2009-04-25 49 -123]] ([[Vancouver, British Columbia]]): Camp Artaban with [[User:Robyn|Robyn]] and [[User:Rhonda|Rhonda]].  '''Success'''.
*One or two as a drag-along, but I can't be bothered to list them.  Besides it might mess up my ratio.
