"Good morning, mommy. Wake up and play with me."
Today he got his toenails clipped!
This afternoon it was such beautiful, mild, mind-clearing, Colorado Spirit, day that hubby and I took a drive to Longmont where he said they had a Five Guys Hamburger restaurant. Inwardly I grumbled slightly because (he knows) I don't like hamburgers, no matter how well they are cooked. But, he is such a sweet, loving, do-anything-to-please-me, hubby, that I let this one slip by.
I found my sunglasses broken on the front seat where some mysterious bandit had sat on them during the night. That produced a few grumbles, but hubby quickly found another pair under the seat. :))
It doesn't take much driving for me to get very bored. I want to eat, text on my phone, read a book, listen to the radio, and clean up the bits of trash on the floor as I drive. (I said 'want".)
Mostly, I sneak a peak at my GPS for Geocaches we are missing as we keep on driving. Today, as I wasn't looking at the GPS while driving, I discovered we were passing by Doughery Museum Geocache AND a sign that said, "Doughery Museum", so I screeched on the brakes there on Highway 287 and swung into the little drive for Doughery Museum.
The geo-website indicated that someone found this geocache just yesterday, and it was an easy find next to a telephone pole (probably NOT a telephone pole anymore), but there was a long wiggly worm under the rock, AND the film-canister geocache was totally crushed. The log was soaking wet and dripping with water. I DOUBT that whoever found that geocache 'yesterday' even turned over the rock. I looked again at my GPS to make sure it wasn't a dated year ago on September 19. Oh well, to each his own. We indicated that this goecache needs maintenance and moved on toward Longmont.
Wow! Did we enjoy the delicious, mouthwatering, Five Guys meal. I got what I term a "messy vege" that was good to the last crumb! We picked up a few peanuts for our friendly backyard squirrel, ignoring the sign at the door that said, "Do not take peanuts out this door". (Or something like that.) Cinnamon the squirrel will never tell.
In the parking lot of Five Guys, I searched for Geocaches that were not micros. We prefer finding the containers where we can exchange from our special geo container the nice swag I've ordered online such as Oakcoins, our personalized wooden Buffalo coins, and other Geocaching treasures.
We located one of the most convenient caches ever!! It's in a parking lot of a car body shop repair place, and it's called A PERFECT LOCATION (GC196QY) in Longmont. I suspect the owner placed it there because he walked by while I was trying to look inconspicuous. He had a "I know what you guys are doing" smile on his face.

| Perfect for us!!! (I didn't take any rocks for my rock polishing project.) |
 |
| After signing the log book, I left a trackable here. It's half a heart. The other half was left in my geocache called, "The Road Less Traveled" in Denver. We'll see if these two sweethearts ever meet up! |
 |
| We left several 'goodies' in this one including the golden Oakcoin and our wooden Buffalo coins! The trackable is called Friendship Tag 2 of 2. |
While I didn't take photos of the BoyScoutTroop548-AdamsEagleProject, (GC2DZ8Q) we drove to a church where this cache was placed right out front. Our geocaching sense provided enough clues that geo-hubby jumped out of the car and found it right away.
The description goes like this: "This cache was placed to mark a Boy Scout Eagle project from Troop 548's 20th Eagle Scout. Please sign the log and help transfer its contents to the far reaches of the globe!. The initial contents consisted of 10 trackable bug tags, placed by a different Boy Scout, marked with one of the Scout Law topics. Each bug has since begun its worldwide journey. The boys and parents look forward to seeing if you leave anything in their place. Thanks for playing."
We hope other loyal geocachers will help this Boy Scout Troop be successful!!!
Lastly, on the way home, I asked hubby if he would go with me to a geocache I'd been eyeing for months near our local Wal Mart. It's called Mondo's Tunnel Vision (GC21MP9). It looked big, dark, wet, and dangerous. Funny, it was anything but that!!! We named it our secret homeless shelter because there was a grocery cart full of stuff way back in there. If we're ever homeless, we're going to board up both ends of the tunnel and live off the items in that grocery cart. (Don't tell anyone our secret!)
Sorry, I didn't think to get a photo but it's our secret anyway...
And, a day without a Mondou geocache, is not a complete geocaching day.
Take Care on the Journey,
Your Geocaching friend in life,
