August 11, 2004 ( Wednesday, August 11, 2004 ) Where does one buy extra time? I never seem to have enough. Things are going pretty good. Two weeks ago Scott and I went camping near Castlegar which was fun and adventurous at times. It was the first time he had ever been on a ferry. It was fun. My birthday. Well, I was in a really bad mood for some reason. Part of me was tired, part of me didn't want to be 20. So, I was kind of grumbly all day. BUT I went to Scott's house after work and he had organized a surprise party which really did surprise. I felt a lot better after that. Thanks to everyone who made an effort, you really have no idea how much you helped get rid of my bad mood. Work is going really good although it's slowly drawing to an end. Tomorrow is Silverwood day which should be interesting. I got offered (well, advised to send a resume for) a job in a group home and a few people have told me that if I apply I will most likely get the job. It would be nice to have a steady job. It's a union job with benefits and all that stuff. A while ago I tried to explain what geocaching is but I didn't finish so I will finish now. -Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache. - www.geocaching.com So...essentially, geocaching is a sport in which people take containers out into the forest and fill them with some little trinkets and then hide it. Using their GPS they take note of the Latitude and Longitude coordinates and then post them on the geocaching website. Then other people, plunk in their postal code and located the coords for nearby caches. So far Scott and I have found about 50 and we've even hid our first one. It's so much fun! |
