It looks like I need to use more of that gooey stuff…dermatologist did a biopsy and it looks like he’s going to carve a piece out of my nose

I had that done a few years ago. Worst part was going to work with half my face covered in gauze and tape. Oh, but you don’t have to worry about that.

FTP for the last day of April. Cool and wet Up North. Yuck!

I’d Rather Be Lost Geocaching, Than Found At Home!

Signed on the new house last Friday. Spent the weekend painting and hauling things the 40 miles between the two houses. I was proud of myself, I bypassed at least a dozen caches while driving between Rapids and the new house. I did stop for two, and came up empty both times. I’m having that happen way too often – stop for a quick P&G and there isn’t anything there, it’s been logged and nothing done for maintenance. Plus it makes me later than my wife wants me, and all I have is frustration to show her for it. 🙁 She’s actually ok with “but I just stopped for a cache” most of the time if I get a find.

Surprises so far with our “new” house aka an old farm house:

The basement leaks. Not really a surprise, but it’s worse than we were led to believe. We thought it would be good for our son’s bedroom, but not this month for sure.

The oven doesn’t work. Not a surprise, but the difficulty of getting it replaced is surprising. Need to have someone come to the house, measure the hole in the wall and then tell us what will fit there instead of just saying “we want that one” at the store.

The range top doesn’t work. Yeah, that’s a surprise. We knew about the oven, but I guess no one has cooked in the house for quite some time because my wife can’t get the counter top burners to work. At least she bought a microwave already.

They took the stuff they said they would leave us and just left junk. Guess we overestimated the people we were dealing with when we discussed what they could leave compared to what they did leave.

I’ve forgotten how close it is to town, and how convenient that is. Ordered pizza (see non-functioning kitchen equipment above) and immediately left to get it because they said it would be reading in 25 minutes. Got there in 5. Then realized they would have delivered it to our house. I forgot people deliver.

I forgot how to order at Culvers. Seriously. I was confused by their menu and the choices. I also forgot to check the FOTD.

As I was filling the non-cachemobile, I saw there was a Taco Johns in the station. Haven’t eaten there since the late 1980s, when we would stop coming back to campus from Water Street. What happened to a simple plain meat burrito?

The best sig is no sig.

The website timed out when I tried to post this, hope this isn’t a double posting.

Eeeek Noonan! Hopefully things get better.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

The surgery isn’t until the end of June…gives me time to get in some turkey hunting this week, fishing at the end of May, and maybe a little bike caching before the bugs get too bad. As for the nose, it’s big enough that I can afford a bit lopped off 🙂

Yikes Rod, at least you can also spoil the grandkids a little bit before then as well.

The buck stops here. . .and gets entered into Where's George.

FTP for May! Another beautiful day in paradise … if you’re a duck.

Hooray Hooray, the first of May, outdoor caching starts today!

We completed the Green Bay Packers geoart yesterday, located just NW of Las Vegas. 🙂

Yup it was good and highly recommend it, tons of information just couldn’t read it all(both from time perspective and brain couldn’t take any more in haha). We went after lunch at about 2 I think and were there til they closed (don’t forget the boarding house across the street which is included with entry, wasn’t mentioned to us until we were walking out and almost didn’t go there). We only spent one day there and went to the cotton museum (it was our 2nd year anniversary, year of cotton) and the Civil Rights. Civil Rights was highly recommended by some friends for if we had time to do only one thing and it didn’t disappoint us. Would also recommend Central BBQ that is right next door to the museum as well. Enjoy your trip this fall!
