Weekend Progress

This weekend has been one of relaxation with a bit of work thrown it. Yesterday Needles and I ventured to the big city for a few items and some grocery shopping. When we arrived home we found ourselves with the challenge of finding a place to fit it all. Both of us has wandered into the kitchen and opened up the fridge to shout, "We ain't got not food!" This is somewhat funny as the fridge is full to the point of not being able to fit anything else in there. Last night after we got home we went over to the King of Halloween's house to talk about the upcoming Cache Slash Fest 2008. We confirmed previous plans and also talked over activities for the event. I think we are going to have 4 or 5 activities and our usual 8 caches. We are also in the midst of devising a survivor grand challenge for our guests but we still haven't got that part ironed out just yet. For the most part we know what we are going to do, we posted it now comes the time to try to make it all happen. It can be somewhat of a challenge but we have accomplished our task the last 3 years and I am sure this one will be like the rest. It seems very erratic and hectic at the time but some how it always seems to fall into place. I guess that is what happens when you got good help. I think that last night we have decided that after next year (2009) we are going to call it quits for the event. At that time we will have had the event 5 years and we think that it will be a good end point. We can always bring it back if we want to but with gas prices and people don't have as much money to spend on activities like this so we think the number of people that will attend might go down. CSF08 will be the litmus test of our these predictions, so only time will tell. Also I think we have been so busy this time of year we have started to see Halloween as work and not able to enjoy it as much as we have in the past. We made good progress at this stage of the game with plannning and we have even had some ideas to work on for next year. We didn't get home last night until almost 1am. Today we went to Needle's Mom's house and had lunch with most of the uncle's. We are now home staying inside and out of the heat. I think I am going to go out later and try to put up some new lights on the garage, that is if it cools off a little.
