Getting back into the groove.

Needles and I have been neglecting one of our hobbies, Geocaching. A couple of weeks ago we went South and did a bit of caching with Cynical and Ragged. Thats when we got bit by the bug again. Today we decide to get up and have a do nuthin weekend. That lasted about 15 minutes and then we were scrabling to download waypoints and cache pages and set out to our first event since CSF06. We headed north and got there just in time to see the Wolf Pack walk across the road into the Moonshine restaurant. We parked and went into place our order and waited patiently for our name to be annouced and the bounty of burgers to be handed to me and the chow down to commence. We nabbed a couple of drinks and out the door we went to the picnic tables in the great outdoors. We enjoyed the food and the chance to be around fellow cachers. After the giveaways were dispursed we headed out for a caching run until the second event of the evening. We ate well and got several more caches under our belt. We cached until dark and then turned to go home. The tally for the day...

tank of gas $39

5 packs of cookies for event $5

4 moonburgers with 2 drinks $13.65

2 more drinks for the road $3

The chance to get 23 caches and attend 2 events not to mention sticking my finger in a jar of Vasoline and get a picture of me acting like I am about to give a proctology exam to The King of Halloween ...............priceless.

Another Full Weekend

This weekend we went South for my Aunts wedding renewal. The ceremony was very nice and I was in charge of the photography. At the end I edited the photos and made a slide show for my aunt on DVD with the music from the wedding. It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. I can't wait to see the photos she has had printed off. At the end of the ceremony I had approximately 200 photos with duplicates and the slide show ended up having 110 photos.

On Sunday we ventured to the Grand Rivers area for a night of camping and more photo taking. We stayed the night even though I don't think it got below 80 degrees that night. Not good sleeping weather. Monday we went out to eat B'fast at The Pelican and had a mean plate of biscuits and gravy with 2 fries eggs on the side. YUM! After that we walked around Grand Rivers and down to the Lighthouse Landing.

I got a lot of neat photos and we enjoyed the day. Since there was no one in campground attendee shack we went up to pay for our night that we stayed and Monday night that we planned to stay. It turns out that the site my parents was on was reserved without us knowing or being notified so my parents was going to have to pull up stakes and move to another site. They said if they had to pack up that they might as well go on home so we decide to do the same. It sounds like this campground has some scheduling issues and they need people to be at there post ALL weekend. The way they leave notes on which sites are available is confusing and not updated for over 24hours. So you can be on a campsite first with no one to take your money or make your reservations and someone online make reservations 24/7 and take your spot. This system is messed up. They need to change it. We weren't the only people that were inconvenienced by this issue.

Great Weekend.

This weekend we spent in the promise land with Cynical and Ragged. They were gracious to share their home, food, Kitty's and coffee with us as we enjoyed each others company this weekend. Friday we enjoyed a home cooked roast with potatoes and carrots. It was so good I had to stop myself at seconds. It took a little arm bending but we finished off the evening with a run to the Dairy Queen for dessert. Saturday we got up and had a wonderful breakfast and soon we were thinking of things to do to fill up our day. A little geocaching, a little shopping at the Halloween store and a lot of eating at the Shogun and our day and my waste line filled out nicely. Sunday we awoke to another great breakfast and a little more geocaching and it was all too soon time for us to head home. What makes a great weekend..... Spending it with great people. Hope to do it again soon.

Getting my ducks in a row.

Gearing up for the Cache Slash Fest 2007. We have been getting together and deciphering how to do some of the things we have planned to do for the event. We are going to get together Wed. night for some more planning. Companies have been contacted for donations and with the response so far I do believe we will smash last years attendance number. We are more than half way there and we still have 7 weeks until the event. Lots to do and the time is speeding by.

Nice weekend.

Friday after work Needles and I loaded up and headed for the promise land. We arrived at my parent house around 6 pm and sat and chatted, giggled and enjoyed each others company. It was getting late so we turned in and recharged until the next day when Needles and I went on the hunt for a TV stand. We searched high and low without finding what we wanted. We finally did find one that we wanted and found out that they no longer make it and everywhere we looked was out of them. We thought we was going to purchase the display but they would not part with it as the metal legs had small holes drilled in it and was deemed defective. The stand will be destroyed instead of sold. Oh well. Sunday we got to visit with my family and enjoyed a very nice home cooked meal, that evening we went on a drive to visit the graves of some ancestors and do a little sight seeing. Monday we meet up with Cynical and Ragged in their neck of the woods. Needles, Ragged and Kissed went to a local yarn shop for a Labor Day sale. While the lady's went to fondle yarn, Cynical and I went to see if we could find the TV stand...NOPE. It's amazing how fast time flies by we are with Cynical and Ragged. All too quickly it was time for us to leave so we headed back to my parents. The evening flashed by us and it was time to go to bed. The next day it was time to head home. I got up and got things together and soon it was time to leave. We did managed to squeeze in a visit to my cousins costume and accessory shop before we had to leave. He just had a new sign made so we got a picture of it as we were leaving.
