Another FTF. Another DNF on a lonely cache. My shoes are soaked.
Now I need to find out why MyGeocaching has me at 2396 finds but I have over 2400.

FTP on 6/14
I was an hour behind the FTF on those caches and they were local cachers, so they were probably home before I got to the caches.
Anyway, this cache is my latest “I hate this cache but I will find it”. Did some after supper cache hunting outside Nekoosa last night. FTF, LCG DNF (as expected), Find, DNF, and then that monstrosity.
Rain today means no caching while we organize things around the house. 100 degrees (?) on Wednesday probably means no caching that day either.
Probably a good time to restock my caching backpacks with supplies instead.

Pet peeve: People that get FTF but don’t log them for over an hour. However, I keep finding places to try to fish in the process.

I just realized how long it’s been since I’ve been here regularly. The geodog that is my icon was put down a little over a month ago. Just old age, but we still miss him incredibly.
Our son told us about a month before that about how he had met someone online and was going to move to Latvia to be with her. We spent an entire year locked down to keep him protected from Covid, and still live a very sheltered life…and he’s moving across the globe. He landed there yesterday.
My wife is going back to school to get a degree in Psychiatry from UWSP. Our daughter is dating someone (although she still doesn’t leave the house much). She will be attending UW Marshfield before following mom to Point.
I’m still teaching at Adams.
My dad moved out of the house he had been in since 1963. That was difficult. Not so much because of things in the house – he hasn’t changed anything since my mom died in 2008 – but because we are ‘close’ but not ‘close enough’ to easily get up there to help him out. We had two weekends we were able to go up. Oh yeah, we had an extra ‘son’ for a couple months because one of our real son’s friends from Ohio moved in with us before he moved to Germany before he plans to join the French Foreign Legion.
Really.
Anyway, the two boys helped move big stuff my (older than me) relatives couldn’t manage.
Now, the plan is to declutter our new house and sell of big things like a camper and tractor we don’t use or need. We went from an old farmstead with acres to mow and care for to about 1/2 the acreage of land covered with oak and no real clearing.
Sometimes, I manage to get caching.

Well, this will help if I start placing caches in that area. Still not much of a response from the local counties. Waushara Co tried to call me back when I was teaching. Fun fact, the secretary for the Parks Department has a voice mail message that continually loops, but never allows you to actually leave a message. My students got a real kick out of it. “Hello, this is…leave a message after the beep.” <beep> “Hello, this is…”

BTW, Waushara has one that you can find online if you do a Google search. I haven’t heard back from them officially yet.
Adams and Portage Counties are still unresponsive too, although Adams Co Ohio has a great looking website with a section about geocaching.
Another side note, it’s too bad Adams Co. hasn’t hired the person that made the Rome website. You sure can tell where all the money in the county is.

Hi everyone, I’m still alive!
Breaking Jim and Linda’s monotony to ask a question.
It seems Wood County doesn’t have a form for approval for placing geocaches in parks. I decided to be proactive and request forms from my nearby counties to avoid the problems I’m having (thanks Bec). The form they sent me was a generic facilities use request.
Advice?

I didn’t watch the final tonight, but was surprised to see Texas didn’t win.

I still have almost a week to be “cleared” and MickeyLu’s is much closer, with the added benefit of seeing relatives, but Pete’s is calling me today.

Saw a picture of Ron Kind and some state level politician at Pete’s Hamburgers. I’ve never been there. It’s three hours one way, but I still have this urge to go. Is this what being vaccinated does to you?

School is quarantined for the next two days. Cases spreading through kids. I’m still quarantined so it doesn’t impact us directly. Hoping we get some heat outside to get us back out and caching.
Two days got turned into all of next week now too. B117 combined with kids not wearing masks correctly and thinking that coughing on each other is funny.

I just finished watching The Tick. Really liked it, but, sadly, it was cancelled after two seasons.

Has anyone found the TB on Mars yet?
