Four for four on Friday. Thirteen for 14 with one change of heart on Saturday and we can cross off 4 more counties and four more DeLorme pages.
This “button” has been sitting here in the upper right corner of my WordPress admin page for the longest time. Tonight I clicked it and it installed something called Google Gears. I’m not sure if it is supposed to speed up the blog for me or you, but I do know if it keeps asking to connect to the Google mothership it is coming out.
The trunk on the Miata looks like someone dusted for prints using yellow instead of black powder,there are yellow tire tracks on my garage floor when I back out in the morning and Tiger Woods’ Green Jacket is now a neon lime green. Pine pollen season and the Masters are in town.
I have often spoken here of hitting the trifecta, but that is in reference to eating out all three meals in a single day. Today we hit the Geocaching Trifecta. We hid a cache, found a cache and we DNF’d a cache.
In other Tri news our neighbor the ultra-marathoner saw us dragging out the tandem for our caching adventure and mentioned that she had gone for bike ride yesterday and has given some consideration to maybe trying Triathlons.
This prompted Donna to say later in the day we had done our own triathlon today, we rode 14 miles on the bike, took a 1/2 mile walk checking on a cache and then taken a shower.
Burned up almost a full tank of gas and drove around 300 miles just to find an ammo can hidden near the Museum of Western York County. We found 7 others today, but the Museum was the real objective, you see, it is located on Page 20 of the DeLorme atlas of South Carolina.
Tonight after entering all the data and running the macro that produces the image on the Challenge Page appears broke. It showed we only had 3 pages completed, a far cry from the actual 34 we have done. I updated GSAK the other day and when it did it gave a warning about backing up your database because it was going to be making big changes. Those changes must have hosed something in the macro.
Because we drove all that way just to fill the square, I manually photoshopped the image and hacked the HTML to make it look like it should. Only then did I think that maybe I should check the forums to see if the macro had been updated, it had. At least I’ll be ready for the next square.
The Folks in the MMC don’t know it yet, but tonight is Donna and my last Club meeting. Regular readers will remember that a couple months ago I was virtual car shopping, well we have decided on a car. It was not on the original list in either category because it fell outside the theoretical budget limit, and if recent events have taught us anything it is you only live once, so you might as well enjoy yourself while you can.
The local dealer didn’t have what we wanted, but a quick search turned up almost a perfect match, satellite radio instead of the Ip Odd interface, in Charleston, SC. We will be able to pick it up on Friday at Taylor BMW in Augusta. With trading in the Emperor, $2k additional down, we ended up financing $28,000 @ 3.95% or $475 a month for the next 6 years…
Meet Little Boy Blue: a BMW 128i Convertible.
Gotta get one of these…
