Friday foxhound and I took Pidude 26 caching - there was a fire at the Fisher Plaza, the building that houses the servers for Geocaching dot com so that causes us to change how we cached. Saturday - GC was back and we came up with some caches for today - Sunday. Pidude found one called "i've fallen and I can't get up" - there are at least eight caches in that immediate area - which i told him - "if we go for that one - we have to look for htese others" "Why?" he asks - I say "If you are going to be passing them and haven't found them yet - ya gotta look for them!" and besides - one of the ATW80 caches (China) was there too -
We ended up only finding 4 of the eight - DNF'd one - decided to not bushwhack one and completely pass on two others (including "I've fallen") too steep and too hot - but we all had fun and Pidude still wants more - so that's the good thing!

the day geocaching "stood still"
so we were going to take a friend geocaching today - but a fire in the Fisher Plaza stopped the original plans - We went to an old favorite park that has two caches that we know of and found those two "letterboxing style" and PiDude26 wants to do more! hoping for the servers to return by tomorrow... we had a great day - anyway - we ran into an old Ranger friend - one we hadn't seen in over a year - one we love and we introduced her to our friend - PiDude26.... we found one "new" cache and discovered two that have been muggled since the last time we found them. he's ready for more - so hoping for the servers (all of them in the building - not just the GC one) to be restored tomorrow!

TUFF CACHE
we tried twice to find a new cache - it is a nano and there is a decoy - found that one - we even had fellow cachers "Boondockers" AND Cepheus7 with us... Pacholik came back after we'd left and found it - darn... gotta go back next weekend - maybe even meet up with the Boondockers again...

GS Camp Out
Last weekend our troop and sister troop 1777 had their first official Camp Out. They all had a great time - wish some of mine would have at least come for the day then changed their minds (the rest of their troop and troop 1777 convincing them that it was ok to stay the night...
My two and the five from 1777 had a blast - mostly they spent their time exploring the creek bed. They found little frogs and "Boy Scouts" If I had know for sure they Were Boy Scouts and the troop they were with - I would informed they pack masters of things the girls said the boys were doing... NOT Boy Scout Safety that is for SURE!
anyway - was also introduced Geocaching to the girls AND "CITO" or Cache in Trash Out - and did a little clean up in the arroyo as we found four caches there - two had not m\been found since 2007 - the girls thot that was pretty cool!

TAGGEDTURKEY VULTURES
http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/homepage/recwobnd.cfm
Turkey Vultures are some of my favorite birds - I love watching them hang on the thermals - circling - rising and falling...
Tagged Turkey Vultures - Some people I know are involved in tagging and studying these birds. I received an email telling about a study and I hope that I get to see some of the tagged birds - kinda like Condors with tags only smaller...

The University of California Davis - Wildlife Health Center began a statewide study in 2008 looking at heavy metal exposure in scavenging birds. Turkey Vulture is one of the species that has been live trapped, tagged, and monitored. The TUVUs are fitted with "large white with black-numbers" patagial (axillary) tags that are easily visible in flight and when perched. Numbers can usually be easily read with binoculars and/or spotting scopes. Please report any sightings with exact location, observer, date, and tag number to BOTH the BBL and the two researchers below:
The following link for the BBL has instructions on how to report the sighting of an axillary marked bird to the BBL:
http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/homepage/reptauxm.htm
Also please report the sightings to Pete Bloom (master bander) and Terra Kelly the same info by e-mail (trkelly@ucdavis.edu, PHBloom1@aol.com).

weekend...
Foxhound is sleeping - Cepheus7 - he's been up "made dinner" Carnitas in the Crock Pot and he's back to bed - Romeo - he's curled up in the chair next to me - his favorite spot -
Me - bloggin' listening to KSBR - me time - only time I get any.
I want us to go an find some of the Country Caches for the ARW80 series tomorrow - but I want all three of us to go - together - some cachers have already completed the challenge!! They started last Sunday - we saw them at "England" - the cached 72 hours straight!! found all the Countries and the Continents AND "The World"! Some fellow cachers - must be jealous - 'cause they are questioning if these guys had visited ALL the caches themselves... these two say in their logs that others joined them for some caches - I was uncertain about the final "World" if some just tagged along or what - but, if you have 72 hours and you devote it all to finding the caches and solving the puzzles - then - great!! And if you don't have the time - great too - and just because a cacher doesn't log on line - doesn't mean they haven't physically BEEN to the cache - maybe they didn't have access IN THE FIELD to go online for each cache - WE don't - WE must wait till we get home to the computer! So just bcuz a cache- (the Continent Puzzles and THE WORLD Puzzle) isn't logged on line - or any of the COUNTRIES for that matter - doesn't mean these two cachers had not been there...
Sour grapes - yummy yummy!
Off the "s box"
I really like this time of day - KSBR - me an' my dog - sleeping in the chair next to me....

Walk in the park
Going to take the new Ranger on one of the paved road/trails today - going to see if we can get approval for a "new cache"
There is a new SERIES out too - ATW80 80 Caches in total?? one is on the road we are going on - gonna take the Ranger all the way there - first then to our site -
Met Ranger Raul and walked down the road. About a mile to a new Cache - I told him it just published and that I was certain that no one had asked to place it. As we approached GZ - there were two other people there - acting very much like Geocachers... Flashed my GPRs at them as we WERE with a Uniformed person... The Ranger seemed impressed with the entire Geocaching thing - might even look into it himself we think. signed the cache ourselves and he approved of its placement. Headed back towards the car/truck. Found the location for OUR cache and Raul watched as we placed it - came home and posted it it is active already - and about five to seven cacers have looked already!

Girl Scout Cookie Sales Over
Well our little troop sold 213 boxes - 105 were "extra boxes" - if we'd done a booth - or two we probably could have done even more...
next is International Day - and we are representing (South) Korea. Our meeting is tomorrow and I have exciting news for the girls - I think...
Then - in May -we are to do a two troop camp out - That will be fun -
Tired - and need to do laundry and find something for dinner - everyone else in the house is busy playing "computer games" of one sort or another...
Scott August and similar streaming on Pandora.

Favorite Color
and the winner is BLUE
on the sign in sheet for our Girl Scout Service Unit Meeting tonight I asked for Favorite Color - Out of eleven attending (It was Ash Wednesday - so many were at Church instead of a Girl Scout Meeting) FIVE wrote BLUE.
Still trying to figure out HOW to get more leaders to come - having an older girl for the younger ones to do activities with - so far - a bust - just seems no one seems to think the "One representative from each troop is to be at Each Service Unit Meeting" really means anything... need to figure out an incentive... maybe that Yorba Linda Service Unit has ideas!
My Favorite Color is PURPLE!

STANLEY
http://atv.disney.go.com/playhouse/stanley/index.html
was havin' a "remember when" moment - We used to watch Stanley EVERY morning. Love Dennis (the fish) and Harry the dog and Elsie the Cat, any one know the names of George Harrison's parents? At one time I thought it was Harry & Elsie - but now - all I find is "Harold and Louise" still it's close.
I still like the Great Big Book of Everything and the song that goes with it.
I clicked on the link above and Foxhound momentarily stopped what she was doing to listen!!

...and I laughed
The more I listen the more I like - this is my favorite part:
"...Do you want to, come on, scootch over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed..."
Foxhound asked what "nibble your ear" means (smile)
The Geek in the Pink
Ok - Official Announcement - I like Jason Mraz too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZHuhtwwzwA
- SO cool when parents like the same music as there kids - the link - says live in Berlin - would love to see any artist is such a small venue - so much fun to be that close - we have seen C G Ryche at Downtown Disney before and Scott August and a few others up close - and I love it - I think the artists do too -

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
This is Foxhound's favorite song right now - I like the drums - nice rhythm too - kinda reggae - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYhrYHmUPn0
I guess Radio Disney plays it "alot". and there is a "bad" word in there too - she wonders how it gets played on "Disney"
and there is this - his official site: http://www.jasonmraz.com/#/bio/
trying to type this and read his bio and Fox keeps finding something else on youtube telling me to "look" - We Sing We Dance We Steal Things -
OK - he's cool - Foxhound says "He's SOOO Random"
Might have to get the CD
"Home - Page" - reminds me of when Foxhound and Angel were at O'Neill Regional Park and every other word was - "FOOD"

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme - Hung Up
A co-worker has been playing Madonna's "Hung Up" all week. Every time I hear the "flute" rift... I feel as is I have heard it B4 - LONG ago - So, I googled something like < "south america" "hung up" madona > - and found that, (even tho I believe the melody comes from even longer ago than ABBA - perhaps a South American "traditional song") Madonna received permission to use ABBA's "flute" theme from Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)
- to me - the melody sounds very much like it could be played on a Zampona - and I think of Sajama - a group who, I won't miss the chance to see - if I know that they are in the area and I have the free time...
listen (watch) for your self!
ABBA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLtU7aOnp2U - Gimme Gimme Gimme
Madonna - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fVqC8rOw8g - Hung Up
Foxhound tells me that ABBA's isn't a flute - (no they play keyboard - but a "flute" sound) and really - Madonna has someone in HER band who plays an actual - flute???
Anyway - my mystery has been solved - I KNEW I had hear the tune before.

Rainy Day Sunday...
Linked to follow another blog -
heard that some fellow cachers were up at 4am yesterday in the rain to go caching... crazy - I like to just stay inside and sit by a fire (if we had wood) and watch the rain fall.
Dog still pestering me - I can't speak - cuz if I do he tries to jump in my lap - He's sleeping on his towel behind me right now - he likes to sleep in the chair next to me but Foxhound is playing on "her" computer so - he's on the floor (part f why he keeps bugging me)
Listening to KSBR - it's cool cuz you can hear the phone ringing in the background when the DJ announces that it is time to call in... to win something...
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain...
