A little break
After being very busy for a while, I am taking the slow down to take a break. I have been taking a few pictures and spending some time trying to get a few things fixed. Time to put the grill back on the truck after a transmission line broke and I replaced it. So much fun, so busy, but I know next week is the end of the month and I will be busy again, so if I do not do anything now I won't do it for a while.
Above you see a picture I took the other night while leaving Harbor Freight. I was in the right place at the right time to see a blazing orange sunset reflecting off the mountain. I have had a few great experiences with them right now.
I decided to take the challenge on podcacher and I am doing a 365ish photo challenge. Try and take a photo every day of the year and post them on flickr. Some are nice, some are stupid, but I am trying. I also posted 12 photos that I took on Jan 12th.
I have thought about hosting a group that does something similar. I may pick a Saturday and do a 12 hours 24 photos. Take a picture every half hour for 12 hours. A photo journal.. it is just a thought.
This is another photo that I was in the right place. I actually was racing to the right place. I wanted to get all the power poles, buildings, and stuff like that out of the way.
I was sure the light was going to fail, or the color would go away before I found that perfect shot. It did face a lot, but it still turned out great.
Listings have been slow. RedHiker and I have published 50 listings in a week. With two of us: 25 each, and that works to about 3-4 each per day. As I thought about that more.. That is a lot of caches for the middle of winter.
I have caught a few pod casts this week, nothing great to mention, but I liked podcacher a lot, as usual. they have the best quality of all them. I even broke down and sent them money $3, but I am sure it adds up. I should do that, hmmmmm help offset the costs of my camera, and the website. That is too much though.
I am toying with the idea of making a geocoin this year, of my own. So we will see, maybe. If someone would buy it, I may consider it.
Placing caches
I have placed a few, and I am working on more that two dozen. With it being cold I am breaking down and doing some that are appropriate in the snow. That means that I can put together, plan and enjoy from the warmth of my home.
Please don't post the answer to these if you figure them out....
One was a spur of the moment at lunch. Poorjack's 230 day streak of fun & festive things GC2M1KC. Was an afterthought. I read on facebook that he woke up and realized that he had not gotten a cache the day before. So his caching streak was ended. I decided that I would list this to acknowledge his feat. It is no where near DrJays, but it is far better than myself. I hit one hundred and was so glad to reach it, that I stopped.
Mungos that Mussinate GC2M14G was tossed together a while ago. I finally got it together and listed it. It only took me months to make sure that it was right. A word of warning, you need to wait for spring thaw before you go after it. Though many people are looking at it, there are not many actually guessing. So we will see as spring goes on.
You can do Ether Cache GC2MB2E was finished last week. I have heard nothing on that one either, but with the snow I do not blame anyone. This was an interesting concept, and a trial. So we will see how it goes.
