Saturday evening, I attended an Event celebrating Team Bklyn (BklynTex1015 and TexBklyn1015) making their two thousandth find and one hundredth hide. This is especially impressive because the two of them have only been doing this for less than a year. It took me a year to reach a thousand. (I thought I was so high … Continue reading More Congratulations Are In Order →

I was sitting at home, getting ready to go to bed, when I realized something very important: I had almost forgotten to write an entry for today! I apologize for my near oversight. It's been a long day. I have had to take some trips out to Fredericksburg this week, and yesterday was one of … Continue reading I Almost Forgot! →

A couple of days ago, when it was time for my daily cache, I decided to go after a Letterbox Hybrid that I hadn't yet gotten. The biggest reason I hadn't gotten it up to that point is that it was located in a fairly affluent part of town, and I'm a little leery of … Continue reading Grace →

Saturday morning, I went out to get another FTF, the other cache placed by the same CO who provided the one I found last week with the girls. I left this one alone then for several reasons: it was in Austin proper (meaning it would be easy to get to), it was close to home, … Continue reading Another FTF, Now With More Annoyance! →

My daughters like to think they look hard-core and frightening. I love them very much, but they do not. Not to me, anyway...A couple of days ago, a couple of caches appeared near downtown Austin. One of them was close to a major thoroughfare, the other deeper in East Austin, a more economically depressed but … Continue reading First To Find, Fool! →

Oh, happy day! Callooh! Callay! Or some kind of crap like that! Last night, the girls and I went to an Event hosted by friend of the blog Buckandi. After seventeen years, he has hit ten thousand caches! About twenty-five of us (some alone, others with spouses) gathered to have dinner and drinks and to … Continue reading Congratulations Are In Order →

What did I do this weekend? From a caching perspective, that is. It was filled, though not brimming. Saturday, I took the girls to the Austin Zoo, where we attended a tiger's birthday. One of them suggested placing an Adventure Lab series there, which is not a terrible idea. I'm going to put some brain … Continue reading Tiny Trips →

Oh, mother of crapsticks, it's gotten hot around here! I was enjoying the cool spring, but after some storming on the solstice, summer has begun in true and unquestionable form! Yesterday, I asked the girls if they wanted to come out and grab a cache with me. They both understandably passed on leaving the air-conditioned … Continue reading Do I Have To Brave The Sun? →

I had Juneteenth off. I wanted to do something with the girls. My older daughter, the cacher, mentioned that, since she was here with me and I cache every day, there was no reason that she couldn't make it to the Out and About Medium souvenir. I told her about the Solstice one that required … Continue reading Country Mouse, City Mouse →

The girls are visiting for a couple of weeks from L-Town. What better way to kick their visit off than some arts and crafts? I dragged them out to a Maker Magic Event over the weekend to make some caches and to see some people (and to conduct some TXGA business, but that's not important … Continue reading The Means Of Production →
