[RSplash40]

Thanks to all who came down, wish I could’ve been there but had a bday party to put on…. park cleanup or 9 loud 8 yr old girls…. had it not been splash3’s party I would’ve picked the cleanup.

I agree…some flavor of tan would be best. Is this a one sided design?

Not sure if it will top that but I laugh to tears everytime I think of this story..

A number of years ago I worked at a country club in northern wisconsin, mainly running the marina but filled in other places as needed.

Well, one day I was working with twin brothers from upper michigan on the grounds crew raking leaves. Coupla smart fellows(one studying accounting, the other diesel mechanic) but not the most experienced in life(neither was I at the time really, not sure I am now…but anyhoo..).

I started on top of the hill and they took the vintage truck down the little driveway to the bottom towards the lake. Lots of tree coverage in the area so we had a lot to do. From my vantage point all I could see was the top 15-20 feet of the tree’s they were raking below.

After a bit I hear one say “Get in the truck and move it closer”, I hear the door slam, the nearly exhaust-less engine start and it grind into gear.

Well, one is tryin to direct the other… VRROOM… GO FORWARD..VRRoom vroom, Ok now back it up…vroom GO RIGHT..VROOM GO RIGHT!!!.

****** BANG! *******

The top of a birch tree is shakin back and forth and the engine dies! The brother doing the directing just lets the other have it…. ” NOW GO RIGHT OR YOU’LL HIT THE SAME TREE AGAIN!”

I walk to the edge of the hill and nearly fall down it laughing so hard. I had to blow my nose and wipe the tears while writing this!

More often than not I do, if I don’t typically its because I’m not going to get back there for a long time if at all.

I also log dnf’s as a way of keeping track of those I need to go back to. If I dnf more than once on a cache I’ll edit the same log, add the additional DNF info as appropriate and change the date. Some people don’t care for it that way but makes it a more efficient process for me. and yes, its all about me 😆

Frizz – don’t forget to write my name on all the finds!

I understand that you are the puzzle meister. Maybe you would want to develop a couple of puzzles. They would need to be simple enough to solve without computer support, on the fly, but challenging enough to be interesting. Is that posible?

Puzzle meister – who started that rumor? Not by any stretch of the imagination, however I will sleep on it and ask a few of the real puzzle meisters for input!

[RSplash40]

P is for peeved I can’t find it!

[RSplash40]

I’ll check the family calendar dont think I have anything going on that day, and I only live about 30-40 minutes from there.

Pencil me in for the 1/1’s and short walks.

What supplies are needed?
