Geocache Description:

Here’s a cache for you “real” men.  No whining here about kiddie stuff in the cache. It’s easy terrain but I was thinking of making it a 24.7 mile hike. To make up for terrain, it's difficult in that you can only claim this find if you can identify the “ACE” in the hole with an email of the specifications of the “ACE." (sorry, a claimed find w/o emailed info will be deleted) [and please don’t take the “ACE”, it’s NOT a trade item!]

 

OK, so … I couldn’t close my junk drawer in the kitchen …
and always thinking … can I “cache” with that somehow? 
Voil LA!
  

On any given Saturday this IS the place to be.  I always see everyone and anyone I ever know here.  Also, this place has the best Christmas holiday displays and trees each year. Don't miss their annual Christmas Open House, or yer a weeinie! In the cache there are some very umm, errrr.. “unusual,” yet probably common hardware items.  I promise to restock it regularly when I find stuff in the bottom of my washing machine rattling around, or when my utility drawer doesn’t close again.  Some of the weirdest looking gizmos I’ve ever laid eyes on, that’s fer sure, are in here!  And, if you know yer tools and gadgets you may find this cache even useful fer that latest “do-it-yerself” project.  HA!!  (I’m sure they’re all on hold – geocaching taking priority, of course!)   

BE PREPARED: To claim this find you will have to send me an email with at least two of these listed specs of the “ACE”;
1. Dimensions;
2. Anything about the Metalurgy;
3. TPI -(threads per inch);
4. Grade;
5. Finish;
7. Something about the head, or
8. Something about the nut (and no I don't mean me).

In this crazy day of computers and SOFTWARE, we’ll see how many of you guys out there know yer HARDWARE.   Oh - and YA MIGHT WANNA BRING A TAPE MESSURE fer getting the “specs” on the "ACE."
 My apologies to the lady geocachers, this may not be yer cup of tea, however there's a "Spring of Eternal Youth" waiting for you up the road a bit.   Good luck guys, (or ladies)!!!  

[DISCLAIMER:]  
As always, I disavow any responsibility, liability or accountability for this cache other than my wish for you to have fun and maybe learn something about "hardware" in the process.  And, in no way does this cache reflect upon the character of the cache owner.
