Current Goal

You've discovered me!

It's taken a long time to get this far, but it's finally time to get this thing travelling.  

This started in my old office as a prank.  A coworker would get a phone call from a particular customer and the customer would keep him on the phone for a long time.  my coworker grabbed some rubber bands one day and started making "little johnny" as we called him.  Everytime this particular customer would call, the rubberband ball got bigger.  One day it was sitting in the middle of the office and a few of us added more, and then more and more.  It's made of 1000's of rubberband and rubberbands only.  There's no paper in the middle starting it out, it's rubber bands wrapped among themselves until it got bigger and bigger.  How many precisily, I don't know.  You're welcome to count them if you'd like, but please put back together when your done.

About This Item

little johnny - that's a lotta rubber

Now that I'm travelling you're probably asking where should I take this?  Anywhere, large caches and probably events are your best bet.  Let's see how many mile this thing can go before it falls apart.

Speaking of which, it would be best if you could keep this out of the sun.  A cool dry spot would be best, but moreover out of the sun.  I've already lost some of this guy due to the sun.

It's currently sitting at 11lbs of rubber.  Please take pictures with it where ever you may take it and if it seems to be losing some of itself go ahead and weight it every once and awhile.

Thanks for discovering/moving it along.

So I was flipping through my phone the other day and realized I was HORRIBLY backlogged with trackables that I have discovered. Nearly 5 months behind, thats a trip or two to Michigan (Kzoo, coldwater, livonia), some Ohio through the Donut trail, all over Indiana, sitting in a TB hotel near my house, and did I mention all of the personal trackables at events I found? Maybe it was on Facebook that I found you? Well I'm sorry I am behind, but I did snap a picture of this guy at some point so thanks for putting it out for us to discover! (I'm also using "logthemall" to log all of these finds, I'm sorry if it duplicates any logs, but it does not count as more than one find)
