If you submit a cache in northern California at 4AM Friday morning, it gets published by 5AM. Wow.
Got turned around pretty bad by Google yesterday trying to get to an earthcache (went there instead of the old one). Took two hours to get to the cache once I left the highway instead of about 20 minutes. The computer was obsessed with sending me down red gravel roads that led to non-existing connecting roads or ones that were shut off by gates. Throw in a no-clearance vehicle and 2-3′ high sagebrush in the middle of the two-rut “roads” and it was fun. Oh, and rocks hidden in the brush. It wasn’t fun. It was the most stressful trip I’ve been on. Came back with a splitting headache and an upset wife (understandably so). The earthcache was a real letdown too, except for being near a lake that reminded me of any one of the small lakes in NE WI/UP. It was so shocking seeing water and green grass around here!
I was very happy to see the Packers game was broadcast on NFL network, so we got to watch it. The only bad thing being it was the local NE broadcasters, so we got to see “FREE BRADY” T-shirts all the time, and listen to them complain about his pending suspension and how people don’t appreciate the Patriots way of doing things.
Back to school insomnia and a little dog that is recovering from getting spayed. At least everyone else in the house is sleeping. At least I hope my wife doesn’t come out and ask what I’m doing at this time – I can’t say “Jake from State Farm”
