Sonata Photos

Whale vs. Dragon Part 3

Everyone else got a souvenir, so it seems only fair that the Purple Whale get one too. Behold, a small purple dragon sticker placed in the center of the top part of the rear window.

Whale vs. Dragon Part 2

I ended up picking two photos from two different photographers.

This afternoon I washed all the carbuncles, barnacles, algae and sea weed off the Sonata that had accumulated over the trip.

On the way to Columbia today the Purple Whale passed through the 3,000 mile mark. We were going there to do a little geocaching and we ended up finding 3 caches and not finding three caches. And as expected one of the ones we didn’t find was the reason for the whole trip (this might be a blog post of the future.) This evening I washed the Sonata, so it would stop being jealous of the Miata which got a bath on Friday.

Sunny Day

It was a sunny day here, but it is a rainy night in New York, so the baseball game is in a rain delay. I just checked the radar and it looks like it will clear up enough to play ball starting after 10:00 PM. That means the game should get over around 2:30 AM. Guess I’ll be reading about it in the morning.

South Carolina Post Offices Redux

No, we haven’t decided to drive to all the South Carolina Post Offices and take their picture with a Sonata in front…

On our way to work Friday morning we stopped off at DD for our breakfast and a free doughnut* on National Doughnut Day. We got up early to account for the time we would waste reading the Wall Street Journal, but for whatever reason there wasn’t a copy there, so we finished eating earlier than anticipated. The only thing to do was to take a the long way to work. We drove what used to be Loop 1 of the Aiken Bicycle Club’s 4 Loop Century backwards and when we passed by Vacluse’s tiny Post Office we noticed that across the street was a big parking area and a patch of woods, causing both of us to think, “That would be a neat place for a cache.”

So late yesterday evening that is just what we did.

Today, instead of an email notification that the cache was published, we got an email from the South Carolina reviewer, “Thank you for your cache page submission. The maps we use show a railroad track within about 120 feet of your cache location. Railroads typically have a right of way that extends 150 feet to either side, and trespassing onto the right of way is a federal offense. Please relocate your cache so that it is not within 150 feet of a railroad track.”

So late this evening that is just what we did.

I Got Nothing

We rode our separate bikes over the DD on the west side of town for breakfast. We drove the Miata out to do a little grocery shopping and then we drove the Sonata to North Augusta for a BBQ lunch.
