Sunny Monday

Ok it was a rainy Monday when I started out but first let me take you  back to yesterday and my decision that I had a lot to do around this house and yard so one day a week for caching and rest  of the time work, work , work ...lol
Woke up today to all these caches in my mail box so i thought ok look to see where they are --- OMG -- 2 with 15 kms of home and I know they would be fun -- call Rick and text Ken but both not available -- should I or should I do my work so I put one load of laundry in the washer --then I loaded up the GPS and I took off hahhahha.... 1st cache was in a cemetery that I have driven by 100 times and never knew it was there -- tricky micro but I got FTF then off to 2nd one --- it took me longer as GPS was jumping around but when I saw it I knew right away  2nd FTF -- so looked on my phone for one more close one grabbed it and now back home and work to do but not before my blog to my buddies --- have a good day ..I know Brian and Vicki are coming home tonight --- you were all over the island -- very cool -- later guys

Travel Bug

One of my travel bugs has been stuck on PEI for some time now. It just started moving lately and i was heading to the cache it was in to pick it up and return it to the NS. We were 10 miles away from the cache and got email notifaction that somebody had retreived it, so close. Having a great time, wish it was a little warmer though. Supposed to be nicer tomorrow.

We were at North Cape today, neat spot. Windmill farm there now.

road trip

Got my first caches outside of NS yesterday. Got a few in NB and now some in PEI. Stayed at a B&B in Summerside, hitting the road soon. Staying at a B&B in Charlottetown tonight. Got my 1400th yesterday.

From DNF to FTF and Between

I got out for a little while yesterday afternoon - I just had to get out of the house and Claire e-mailed me so off we went!

Our main goal was to search for one of Leona's caches, GC2TN40 - Hiding from the Owl, which she and Barry had DNFed on as had Chris and I. Well, we arrived to search and soon found that we were out numbered. By blackflies. They were around me in clouds, more than I have ever seen in one place. Couldn't even breathe without inhaling flies. Neither of us apparently being very smart, we both forgot fly dope. I swear the flies were about to carry me off, so I told Claire to keep feeding them as long as she wanted to, I would be in the truck. It wasn't long before she joined me and we left the area. Still no smilie.

I did grab a couple of other caches on the way to and from Leona's, so it wasn't a complete loss.

While we were out my phone alarmed with a new cache notification. When I got home I found GC2WQED - Summer Summer Summer, was in Canning. After dinner it still hadn't been found so I decided to head out. I snagged FTF at 1834! I was surprised that somebody else hadn't been out in the 5 hours or so since the reviewer published the cache. It is kind of neat because the cache is on the CO's property and he comments in the description that somebody will probably be watching from inside the house. Sure enough, I saw at least two "observers" and gave them a wave. I took my time signing up the log and replacing the cache in the hope that somebody would come out for a chat but no such luck.

So many caches

So many new caches came out yesterday in my area, close to 50, we just had to go after a few. We chose some caches by Crash & Dash who have just recently started hiding caches. They have a very old etrex and are always making the comment on caches they find that the co-rds are way off, get tired of reading their logs after awhile. Well 5 of their 6 caches that we found yesterday the co-rds were off by 40 to 80 feet, Blackrattle was FTF and i called him and he made the same comment. The last on for yesterday the co-rds put me right in the middle of the paved road so i didn't know where to look, used the call a friend option (Blackrattle) to get this one. Took them a long time to find it and they stumbled on it quite by accident. The hint said P&G. We weren't having any fun so we called it quits and left the rest for some other day.

1600?

I just noticed that Chris hit # 1600 today - congratulations, Nova Man! If you made mention of that while we were out I guess I had better learn to pay better attention! Sorry about that!

Ken

The Caching Run that Wasn't

Well, Rick and I had planned a run today, but unfortunately it didn't happen.

Jan hadn't been feeling well for a couple of days but absolutely refused to let me take her to the emergency room. I went to a Lodge meeting in Windsor Thursday evening and arrived back home around 11:00 PM to find a note from her telling me that she had driven herself to the hospital. I changed my clothes and headed up to see what was going on.

She had been suffering from terrible indigestion and belly pain for two days, but what worried her was that her left arm had gone numb. That can be a sign of cardiac involvement, of course.

They did a bunch of tests which they felt ruled out cardiac issues and gave her a "pink lady," a term used for a drug cocktail used to treat gastroesophageal reflux. It consists of an antacid and the anaesthetic lidocaine. The name of the preparation comes from its colour - pink.

By that time it was 3:30 AM and I headed home, pretty well exhausted, and went to bed. Jan was there until 5:30 AM. They sent her home with a prescription for a new to her drug to combat acid reflux.

So, after all of that I got up between 7:30 and 7:45 AM and called Rick to cancel - I just was too tired to go caching. I checked on Jan and she was resting comfortably so I went back to bed myself.

Too bad, it's not a bad day outside for geocaching.
