We finally got some rain early this morning, so I’ve been out doing some much needed work in the gardens.  While crouched below one of the hummingbird feeders, I suddenly heard what sounded like a buzzsaw over my head.  Nope, one of the hummers  No matter how often I experience that, I’m always surprised at how loud such a tiny thing can get.

Wow! New series?

Sorry I missed this earlier, but I’m guessing you checked our profile by now. [;] Part of our placements was a new series, but only just over half of them.  Someone got all of them yesterday and he’s not that “local.”  In fact, I don’t think many locals have actually been finders on any of them….because most of the locals don’t like puzzles, LOL

I guess that’s the long way of saying if you weren’t a local cacher here, with some investigative work, you can still figure out who our Blast From the Past folks are.  Others have done it.

I thought it was just us that was missing all the rain. It seems to break up or go just south or north of us all the time. I was driving to a heart checkup in Tomah, so I drove through it, but my wife said we had strong winds and some hail.

Checkup was to see if my heart shows signs of the arrhythmia our daughter has. Our school is looking to open up full time with students (up to 24 per classroom at the high school) and I was hoping that my heart would be bad. If I go in to teach with kids, I would have to quarantine myself from my family due to our son’s immunodeficiencies. Effectively, in order to keep my job, I would need to remove myself from our home and live somewhere else for a year. My understanding of the applicable laws is that I would be able to have the school accomodate my needs if the medical condition was for me, but because it’s my family members, the school could tell me to teach or take a hike. I’m not leaving my family for a year.

That’s how life has been the past few years. We sell the house in Dellwood, and then this happens. I really can’t believe they think in-person is the way to go right now, but then again, that’s the politics of the county.

On a happier note, I was placing a cache yesterday and I think I found what was left of an old cache. I wish there was a way to see archived caches in an area without needing to go through cacher profiles. Great location, should be a nifty puzzle once I get it done. Two others are in the works too. I better get working on them before I have to get back to Census work today. Maybe I’ll place a few more…

Just throwing this out there – I do not like the souvenir hunts involving filters.

Souvenirs…..some we get, some we don’t.  We figure we’ll just do our thing and see what happens.  They’ve got this one running at least through the end of the year.

I’m not going to worry about the souvenir thing too much. I figure that I’ll probably qualify just with my normal caching.

Where do I go if I have a couple questions about puzzle cache reviews? Not complaining, just thinking.

I’d contact Johnny Waypoint or Bec.

JW was the review for my latest cache. Just message that account directly?

Yes. If you click on his profile, he has a note there to either e-mail or leave a reviewer note on your cache page, but not to use the message center.

Rereading the message and I think I have a better understanding for what JW was trying to tell me (I’m awake now). Thanks Jim

That’s our approach, too.  We got four physical caches today when we went to Rochester to do yet another Adventure Lab.  We already have three of the seven modern wonders without even trying.  It seems that every cache has something attached to it.  It’s simply a matter of whether it’s something you need, or can get, since you have to get all the modern ones before collecting ancient ones.  Kind of silly.

FTP for Thursday. Rumbles of thunder and light rain right now.
