Weekend Plans?

So, what do you all have planned for the weekend?

Almost nothing. My wife and daughter will be attending the Miss Washington Outstanding Teen pagent. That will take up most of Sat and Sun.

I am starting off the weekend going to a geocaching event hosted by the Middle Tennessee Geocachers Club (MTGC). We will meet at Nashville's Adventure Science Center at 9 and then go through the science center's own geocaching display.

You can read more about the science center and it's display here:

Later today, we'll get together at sabidoo's girlfriend's house for a cookout with the family and a few other friends. Should be a good weekend!

Geocaching event...bicycle ride...MEGA dead/grilled animal muscle...gonna be GOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD!!!

Yesterday I was at Canada's Wonderland… a theme park with fifteen roller coasters and other rides. I had six slices of pizza in a row, needless to say I didn't go on any rides after that.

This weekend, if the weather is kind, I'll go out and find a couple of geocaches in the area. There's one I've never been able to get (due to weather ruining everything) and I'll look for another.

Plans for the weekend?
Needed new jeans and bought two new jeans and a t-shirt.


Chris, the event you attend looks nice.
Tell me how it was.

About a cookout.
We go to the birthdayparty of our daughter and she's giving a housewarming.

Tomorrow I hope to find some more geocaches.

Actually, there were TWO events right on top of one another. First, we of the Middle Tennessee Geocachers Club met at the front of the Adventure Science Center. We got to see a few other cachers, write down travel bug numbers off of people's cars, and have cookies. Then, we all went to see the exhibit at the science center.

The GPS Adventures Exhibit opened in Nashville this morning and will run through some time in Sept. It was a lot of fun, and it will really introduce people to the sport of geocaching. There was even a real cache in the parking lot. From the exhibit, my wifey and I went to a nearby cemetery and did 2 more caches: one micro and one virtual. It was fun. So, I ended up with 5 caches for today.

First you get lots of people to come over and you give them all torches then.....
(just kidding).
When someone moves into a new home (usually their first). They throw a party and friends and family bring them gifts for their new home.

Oh, phew. I thought it was that Vonnie's daughter was a landlord and her client didn't pay.

Today, we are celebrating Memorial Day by working around the house. My wife is sorting through some old clothes that we have been neglecting for a LONG time. I also had a pile of sticks in the backyard that had been accumulating since last year. The recent storms have made that pile really grow! So, I'm piling them on the truck load by load to take them to the area where the city is going to do a huge burn soon.

Later today, we are going to buy a new clothes dryer. Ours is making some major noise, and it is probably 16 years old. Instead of fixing it, we're just going to replace it today. We're also going to price some hardwood flooring to put in the house and get rid of our old, nasty carpets. I can't get all we need to do done today as some of it has been put off for literally years, but each step is a step in the right direction.

Baby steps....baby steps....baby steps.....

I'm sure the noises the dryer is making doesn't rock.
It's not a noise that makes you happy.
The dryer we have has the same age, but is working without the noises.

We have hardwood floors for many year due the allergy of the kids.
I love the hardwooden floors we have.
We don't have any carpets anymore in the house.

Those things are steps in the right direction.

Glad y'all had fun. Last weekend was our holiday weekend, remembering some kook named Vic who was queen of England sometime.

The ride home from school on the bus (this afternoon) was terrible. I was sitting right behind a pack of elementary students, and they were SO rowdy and loud. I had to turn the volume up a bit, and the bus driver had to stop a couple of times.

end rant

I don't get holiday weekends working at the ranch and though I have Monday as my normal day off we really don't have friends to do things with. It's one of the things I hate about living where we do, miles from everything and my schedule makes it hard to be in small groups or be involved at church. Pity party over.

Hey Black Rider, aren't you in Naches? (it is beautiful there, if a bit secluded)

Yeah, well, 12 miles from the town of Naches. It is beautiful.

Black Rider, I can imagine you hate it not to do things with friend where you live.

My wife's cousin used to live in Naches, she worked with the Forest Rangers. We traveled there for her Wedding several years back. I also have family in the Yakima/Selah area. Don't get over to that side of mountain too often anymore though.
