Good morning everyone.
The title to this week's blog really should be 'My Week Without Pictures'. I could grab a couple of screen shots. I didn't take any pictures Technically, I only found one physical geocache from the time I published last week's blog to right now as I write this. That one that I did find was a new publication, about half hour after I published last week's blog. I was still in bed (like I am right now) when I got the notification. I normally don't rush out for first to finds, unless I feel I have a legitimate chance at being first. That morning I did feel that. I jumped out of bed, quickly put some clothes on, including a hat to cover my messy hair, and out the door I went. One advantage (depending on how you look at it) to the pandemic is the wearing of masks. Put one on and no one else will know I still have morning breath. Social distancing helps too.
It only took me a couple of minutes to arrive, but I spotted a parked vehicle as I turned the corner and an individual walking towards ground zero. It was local cacher Lord Yorlik. A shared FTF. As we stood and chatted, another car pulls up. Who could this be? I'm guessing it's Hockey_Family. Most of the FTF hounds live in the south part of the city. Hockey_Family is here in the north part. I was right in my guess. Chatted with him as well before we all parted ways.
That's how far I had to go for the coveted FTF. This was my first FTF in the month of December. November is the only month left that does not have an FTF.
I didn't have plans on doing any geocaching that day but how could I pass up an FTF? The only thing I had planned was going over to Auntie Mo's to watch the 108th Grey Cup game (Canadian Football) between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. I'm happy to say that Winnipeg won in overtime, 33-25.
The first part of the week was still nice outside for walking in Kildonan Park. I did manage to capture this sunset. I had to zoom in to really capture the color.
That was on Tuesday. Wednesday was still nice outside after work for a walk. I left around 5pm. An hour later was a community celebration event being held outdoors. Within that hour, the wind picked up and it was cold. Us geocachers are a hardy bunch. It was a good turnout.
Saturday, I did have plans on geocaching, but when I got outside, I just didn't have the desire. I did a couple of stages to a Trans-Canada Highway Adventure Lab that goes through downtown. I had done the test run, so I remember most of the answers.
That's been my week. Not very exciting in a geocaching perspective. I had plans for something in the new year, but I ended up starting this past week instead. This will be taking up my time after work going forward. Geocaching will be done on weekends for the foreseeable future.
There will be a blog next Sunday. I will have that written ahead of time. This coming Thursday is an anniversary. What anniversary could it be? You'll find out next week. Until then, be happy, stay safe, hug your pets, and most importantly, just have fun. Peace out. ✌
There's always just one more picture, or in this case, two pictures. We have cats at work again. We had one cat about two years ago. That cat had a litter. We were able to capture all the kittens in time and adopt them out. Mom cat is back and had another litter. Two of the kittens have been captured and adopted out. Three more kittens and the mom remain. I have seen all three kittens in the same room that I park my delivery cart. All three have very dark coats. They are being fed, but the basement of a hospital is no place for kittens.
