A Lackluster Outing

Did a short geocache outing today but my heart wasn't in it for some reason and I only found two of the four that I was looking for, bringing my count to 189.

Neither of the two that I found was particularly remarkable and the only reason for this post is because this was my first outing of 2011. Woo-hoo!

That's Better

Today was the last day of my holidays and the last day of sunshine before the rains return tomorrow, so I went out geocaching again today. It was a short outing, just under two hours, but a sweet one. My head was in the game today and I found all seven of the caches that I searched for, bringing my total to 196. Barring acts of god I should have no difficulty making it to 200 by my anniversary date of Feb 28th.

The return of the rain may put a bit of a damper on my geocaching (a damper, get it? DAMPer. I'm such a card) but it also means warmer temperatures, which will be welcome. This past week has been cold enough that any morning frost which sits in shade all day never dissipates, with the result that in some areas the frost has built up enough that it looks a thin blanket of snow.

Tomorrow it's back to work, though I may get a head start tonight by starting the setup of my new Linux box.
