Do not give up: Tweet This – again

I am trying to get this to work but do not understand all the switches.

Saturday Evening

We went to Hamilton Fish & Game Club for the benefit for Gene Gorrell, a PL classmate.  He has a life threatening throat cancer.  We saw a lot of the PL people but had to leave right after eating to attend our Saturday evening church services at AAOG.  After the service was a pizza party – tonight was a pretty small group.  We went home after a short time as everyone was tired.

This afternoon, with SAM at garage sales, I went out and meandered through 6 caches finding them all.  It was a beautiful time outside in the full sun and cool temperatures.

Saturday the Beautiful

A beautiful day dawned.  Nothing special is planned for today but it looks like I should get outside.  I came across a good article on “rare earth metals” this morning and it took a while to go through the 19 pages but I thought it was worth it.  Here is the link.

I am still reading “The Seventh Scroll” and about 3/4 of the way through the action heats up.  It is an OK book for bedtime reading but I have not really been drawn into the plot & characters.

I removed Tweet This app and will go back to the drawing board and look for other apps to see if they work.  Have a good day….Moore later.

Wrapping up today….

I installed a new automatic tweeting app and tested it out but it too does not work.    Internet went dead this AM and will be out for several hours so I went Geocaching to the east – Edon, OH to be exact and found three caches and all of them were tough and tricky.  When I got back I saw the tweets that I had sent earlier were not in my Twitter page.  Another problem to solve.  This evening I watched Fringe, S2 E5, and it was OK.  It seems like they are losing their imagination.

A 4 cache day

The weather was cold and rainy in the morning but sort of cleared to a cool partly sunny day in late afternoon so I got restless.  SAM was in town so I went south to do a few caches.  Today all four were successful.  On return I logged the caches.

This morning the new TP-Link wireless N PCI adapter arrived so I took down the GX280 and blew out all the dust and then installed PCI adapter.  I fired the computer up and installed the driver software and did the link up with the new wireless N router.  I had a wireless 300MBPS connection!  I watched a Hulu vid just to see what would happen and, man, it was flawless at 480.  This TP-Link router rocks.  No more cables running along the walls.

Two days of sunshine!

We have had two days of beautiful, cool weather.  Today, since I had already voted, I used the morning calling contractors to get some help on an issue bugging us for some time.  In the afternoon, I took the CD’s back to the church & went caching for the Pedestrian Trail caches.  I went back to #5 and looked but no joy (later I found the owner had moved to a new area) and did the same for #7 (no joy either).  However, I found #4 & #6 so the afternoon was not a totaly wash.  I probably will not go back to the two caches I did not find because I do not particularly like the environment they are placed in – some caches just have bad karma.  As I write I await the election results with a fatal attitude.

No Cigar!

The VM’s tried this one [geocache] today and found the water levels so low that a non-ucky approach to the island seemed improbable so we decided to take the rest of the cool but sunny fall day, with moderate East winds, to cruise the channel to the “big water”.  We stopped at the tunnel because SAM’s boat could not turn around due to length of 16+ ft.

Kayaking Pigeon Creek & Hogback Lake

Put the kayak in at S 450 W bridge and paddled down river – had to jump one logjam very near to the putin bridge. On the way down a 6 pointer, seemingly unconcerned, followed me along the river for several hundred yards – man, my camera was packed away – before I reached the swamp and he left. Arrived at island and fired up the GPS. It took a few minutes to settle down and take me to the geocache. DRAT, there was no pen or pencil in the cache. I left a $2 bill and scratched VM’s and the date on one page of the log (very lightly) with a little fish, that I took, that was in the cache. As far as I could tell there were two entries – one found by accident and one proper find both this year. I like the inside of the lid “Secret Agent”. On way upstream going back to the bridge I saw two muskrat and a doe plus lots of birds. I had to portage around the logjam. If anyone else goes down the river please bring a bow saw to cut up the logjam.

Late to rise

Rolled out of bed later than usual this morning.  I am not sure why except it felt chilly – and it was.  Once out of bed I walked Fish Creek Trail down to the first cache stage and put a new metal tag in cache to replace the old paper one.  I then went out caching and found one but DNF two others.  It turns out one is in the middle of Hogback Lake on an island – we will have to get that one by kayak.  The other DNF I should have found and when SAM returned with me later SAM spotted right away.  We then did 3 more down by St Michael’s Church south of PL.  Now I await Karon so she can cut my hair – it needs a good cutting – but she is doing other jobs and may not have time.

Auto Tweets

For some reason my Auto Tweet does not seem to be working.  I wonder why?

I figure it out sometime.  I just got back from absentee voting.  It is easier than going into the precinct voting place.  Now we will just have to wait and see who gets elected.  All the talking heads are out there trying to influence my vote and I do not particularly care what they say.  Mostly I do not watch TV anyway and most of my video comes via Hulu Subscriptions.
