West Linn

Got to West Linn monday about 3:30pm and fix one bus defroster, only had about 6 or 7 buses out of service. Tuesday I got there about 7 am and started closing out RO and setting up inspections for the next day and see what need to do to get the OOS list witted down.
It rains a lot in West Linn, it east part of Portland, It rain 4 out of the 4 days I was there.
Drove to old town portland and went the Powls Book store and pick up to books. Linny
Seekits The End ( last book of the series of 13 books) I finsh book 12 about a year ago and have not been able to get the book from the Libbary, I did have it on hold for six monthes than I think the book was lost after that, I may gave this book the the Libbary after i finsh reading it. Another book I pick up on the cleans rack was The 5 peaple you will meet in Heaven, look interesting.
I did find 10 cache total the whole time I was up there. One cache was by the river and it was dark by the time I got there and so I could not see very will. I did not find the cache but the beaver in the water about 4 of them would slapp there tail every time I came near the water, scary me each time. I later read that the cache was under water because of the high rain fall and flooding in the area.
The shop is realy to small for what there trying to do, 2 bay with over a 100 buses and only 3 mechanic, need one more mech and one more bay, two would be better.
By friday I had toe OOS list down to 3 buss and one was in the dealer being repaired, and other need to go to deal for repairs.
Left friday about 3:30 and head to Springfield to fix Sam/Emly car, need to install new rotors on the front of the van there have. But I stop in Canby for pick up 4 caches and then onto Springfield, got there about 7:30 and had the rotor changed by 8:30 and left about 9:00 or so after eating. I got so sleepy I stopped at rest stop and slept about 30 minute and made it more about 1:15 am and was in bed after a bath about 1:30.
I get togo back for thursday and friday in West Linn.

Gone Out Of Town

Leaving for West Linn tomorrer to run a shop for a sick shop manager.
This is in the Oregone city area, east of Portland.
I was up there little over a year ago to hold the shop together and change some things when the last manager was fire.
It was pretty wet last time and I'm sure it will be the same this time, we getting lots of rain in are area, so it will should be a lot wetter.
It fun to get into another shop and see the thing that they do diffent and how there read the company precceder manalys diffent then I see them, I can always pick up new ideals and thing that I could use in our own shop in southern oregon.
This all so gave me a chang to do some geocaching in another area after works done.
I have load 50 cache in the area, we see what I can do with these.
I need about 50 more caches to hit 900 finds, I'm at 847 now.
I painted the car saturday, it look not real good, I think going to sandy and re-paint one more time, this will gave me a chance to, to do the hood, I pick up for $25, it had a cress on one side, it was better then then the old hood.
We see what happens.

Interesting news, Saddam Hussein was sentenced to hang, after year in court hearings, its about time.

Dive, With Pumkins

Saturday night, dove out to Early hole and doing a pumkin carvering contest.
Started dive at 6:30, witch was dark at the time of night.
We had this pumkin and knife and a swam out to area and drop down, to about 30 feet.
There was about 20 or so diver in the water, with pumkins and knife in hand.
We had planned on making the pumkin look like hedge hoge, so I cut lots of little sticks to stick in to the pumkin. We put these into the bag that Rochelle had for under water stuff.
Will when Rochelle opened the bag and all(about 100) these stick floated out and we started grabbing these as there floated away, we ended up with about 5 stick so a change in plannes as to what this was going to look like......to be contenued.
We end up using the sticks at teeth or something like that, and used rocks for ears and a nose.
It look pretty good, some had used a paten had a lot of detail work, was cool looking but the ideal was to do it free hand.
The two paten ones came in 3rd place and we came in 2nd place because we used more nature type stufff, meaning rocks and sticks, the 1st place had crown and was done realy will.
All in all it was a lot of fun.

Will Another Day Down With DOE

The State inspected about 6 bus and there passing with flying colors, only very minor stuff.
One more day and we're see what happens to the rest. I've been through about 6 or 7 of these over the years, so its nothing new, but with diffent inspecteder there each seem to pick there own area for importace and work around that, as will as there interation of the rules, so its a new tripe each time we go through these.
Like to day a bus that has a PUC plate can not carrie kids on a home to school ride, even if every thing is a legal bus by all standers. Think some one has be reading between the lines to much.

Sold the 93 ford to day.
Use the money to pay for the fly tickets back for DC.
So no gain. But break even.

Tuesday, February 28, 2006

A Fun Pizza Event 36

Saturday was a lazy day, did not get much or nothing done.
Worked on setting-up the palm program in palm and down loading cache pages in.
It realy looks good, so on the way to the event I tried it out and found some problem it IDing the cache.
On the palm list the cache by the name and GPSr its list by the GC number.
So now on a quest to chang to the way the GPSr list the cache.
I was told that the "spinner" soft ware is the way to go. So I down loaded the test ware and it dose not seem to come out that way, so back to the drawing board.

After the event I drove up to BabyFoot lake trail head, I have been thinking about hiking to this one. It about 14 miles from the pavement, and two cache are along the way complete mest these up, because one this tied to the other. I be back.
And back to the lake hike, got up to the trail head and its about 1.2 mile hike on the sign.
But there was some problem to consiter, one is that all the the trees are burn from the big fire that came through here about 3 years ago and two there was still lot of snow on the ground, so the hike would be little hard to do realy quick, so I hiked about .25 mile to get a feel for what type of trail that there was.
The trail is not to bad, I could see about .50 mile down it, and it run pretty flat, for alone ways.
But we have to wait for the snow to melt and I have my doubts that the lake is still there.

The Palm Program Realy Works

I receive the ID code today and spent about 2 hours getting this thing to work.
And seem it going work realy good, I plan on using it on the DC trip and this summer Hawaii trip.

Today at work was, see who could hit the bus the hardest. One at 10 this morning and another at 3 this after noon. Lucky for me the damage was to the cars and not the bus.

One more day this week, maybe we can get through this week with out sending something to the body shop.

Its The Trip That So fun, Not getting There

The hike was about 3.25 one way, but it seem alot longer, so it was a total 7 miles total.
I have been thinking about doing this one for some time.
I gussed, that the snow was up highter, so I thought it would not be any trouble.
We started hiking about 12 noon, and was up there about 3 o clock.
Will there was a lot of snow up there, about 2 feet at the top in places. But trees and rocks where showing good.
Wife and daught came up almost to the top but it was to slippery to come all the way up.
I look around the rock and under the rock and on top of the rock but no find. Spent about 1/2 hour looking. Most of the rock was uncovered so I look realy hard, I did not want to leave without find it, but sun was going down and air was cooling off.
So off we went with no find.
Got back to the car about 5, made good time.
About another time or summer any ways.
The Kirby Peak Cache link.

A New Road to Travel On

Worked on the new drive way most of the day, had about 60 feet to go to get to the road.
Cutting all the trees over 3 inch in size, leaving the stumbs about 3 feet high so I can get hold of them with the cat and pull these out.
So looking from the road you have this stumb forest for about 300 feet, there has to be about 60 or so of these.
Was able to cut the last 60 feet out, but did not throw the limb and logs to day, looks like about 4 hours of stick stacking yet.

The "From the Elk Back" cache I drove up and picked it up and archived tonight. I had been about a year sence a new find on it. I was going to do the same for" The Beaver slide" cache but I could not find it in the dark, I will have to go back in the day light and see if its still there.

Monday is a Holiday so the famliy is go to see it we can get to "Kirby Pick cache" its about 3.25 mile hike so that totals out to about 7.00 miles.
If that dosen't work out, we'll try and find BabyFoot lake, found it on a map and got the coordinates so it should be easy to find.

A Day On The Trail

Out hiking and Re-Finding a cache to show own, there still and in good shape.
Just as I was re-hiding the cache I started down the trail to 4 corners, I could hear the voice down the trail, so I walk about 30 feet and just started to see the horse and when it did 180* turn in the trail and dump the male ride on to the trail. I made way over to the horse and check the rider out and he was ok. That why I don't ride horses.
The hores was suprised by me being on the trail.
The the cache "Horse Trail" check out the link.

The Palm Thing, Will it Work ?

With some diretion from Blazerfan, I down loaded this cachemate software into my palm.
My son the computer man, had to help me to get it to work. Seems like a lot of steps to get it to the palm, but if it works it works.
If I can get the real program in, it looks like it will realy work good, lots of inform in one place, I have hunted for so long with out hints it going to be odd, to have them at my finger tips.
We are planning some trips and and I don't what to have a bunch of paper with me for looking and track.

A nice day at work, was in early and got some of the jobs going before the rest of the crew showed up, so we got a good jump the days work.
Was able to get away about 4:45 and went in to the Cathedral hills.
With the hint, I was able to locate the cache and be the 1st to find it as will.(no GPS)

Got home and my GPS had come in from Garmin, the repairs or trade for a another unit.
They gave me a good deal, only $50. and every one else has to pay $100.00.
The only thing wrong with the old unit was the battery compartment had become cracked in about 5 pieces.
So a good deal for me.

Boys are up snow boaring on ashland today, with the blue skies and some fresh power I'm sure that there be up there all day.
Molly and John, and Robyn and Paul are coming over to eat dinner tonight, smell the roast cooking the crock pot.
Re-doing the bearing in the rear end in the 95 Subaru, good tooth patton and back lash is good but I have this low whinn on desel. I going to try one more thing and if it don't work I'm going set the pinion gear into the ring gear another .010 to .020 to get more tooth contact. I'll need to find some shim stock and cut my own shims.
Tryed to find a geocache yesterday on the way home from town and with no GPS, I new that there wasn't much in the area to, I throught it could be easy, no such luck, the hint had something about a bush, will it turns out, that there is lots and lots of bushes in the area, next time.
I need to get this car done so I can sell the old 85 Subaru, I have a buyer already, need to pull the speaker and install the old ones and CD play, 2 way radio, and move my junck out.
This should take me about 2 nights after work.
Maybe the GPS will be back by friday, the wife and I are planing a hike for that day.
Also the Coin Quest mybe be starting up soon.

A walk about

After work I make a short hike into Cathral hills.
This was cool to get out, and get some fresh air and be out and about.
When I got home and was looking at the geocaching.com and had found that I'd had walked by 2 new cache.
I try find these next week if I'm in the area.

This is Super Bowl week end, I not going to watch any of this, I don't do TV sports.
Seems like a wast of time watching that much TV, and you need to watch more just tp stay on the in as to who is playing who and what player is best so on and so on.

The crew pulled it off and got the work done so, no saturday work, Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
the end

There is always friday

Wife gets a newer car and I get the hand me down.
So now I sell my 85 subaru wagen and get a 95 subaru wagen. Move CD player and 2 way compy radio and all my other stuff I can't live with out.
The old 85 has 247 k on engine and running gear, I sure it would run out to 300k, about 2 more years of driving for me. The some subaru can log a lot of miles.

Febuary 9 will be 27 years of marraged for us. It seem like just yesterest day that we start a new life with one another, not being 2 people but thinking and living as one, and thats how you must live to last longer than the average marrage.
I think in are office I am the only one out of 14 or so people, that haven't been divorced. ( some are on the 3rd or 4th marrage).

Life and just happens if you will let it.

Day One

Day one of my blogger thing.
Another day at the grind, people not showing up for work and slowing thing down even more.
So now I'm going in early to cach thing up, and looks like saturday will be a work day.
Watch the Nobel Peace being handed out to night or about 10 minutes of it.
To some one who was stop the use of nuclear energy for war use, but trying get people use it for safe thing like power plants.
Seems like a good thing, but I always thought it was gave for make real peace, like stopping war and killing some place in the world.

Caching been realy slow for me, to many home projects to do and my GPS is out being repaired.
Sould be back in a week or so.
That all today.
