last night. Checked the 'puter and discovered a new cache had been published about 20 minutes before I checked. It was 1.28 miles away, out in the desert. I told "B" that we should go get it, maybe get a FTF (First To Find) and beat out the local cacher, Jeep'n Jumpers, who has well over 200 FTFs. We thought it would be great if we could beat him. We did! We saw lights coming into the desert as we were departing and that must have been "JJ" as he said he must have arrived shortly after we did. We went back in the daylight to leave some items in the cache this morning. By then 5 other cachers had made the find. In the daylight the bushes beat the heck out of me and drew blood. Had better luck at night.
Got table, chairs, BBQ set up this afternoon. While I was working on them a truck stopped and some slick talking Chinaman walked up and tried to sell me some BEEF. He was from a wholesale food outlet in San Diego and said they had been making deliveries to local restaurants and had some steaks left over. Would I be interested in purchasing some at an amazing discount? They were Flash Frozen from an outfit in Illinois, Quantum Foods, Inc. I listened to him, tried to get a Senior Discount but he wouldn't budge. Finally I asked "B" if we had room in the freezer for the box of goodies. She said yes so I finally told him "OK". I paid $125.00 for Delmonico Ribeye, Kansas City, Center Cut Ribeye, sirloin strips, tenderloin wrapped in bacon, chopped beef steaks (these were 24 hamburgers). It figured out to be a little over $6.00 a pound. Since I had just set up the grill we tried two of them tonight. If the rest are as good as the first two then I think we escaped with a pretty good deal. At least they didn't start a fire when he set the box on the table!
Got the Rhino unloaded today, started up and then it died on me. Started again and it died again. Great! My WA and OR mechanics think it's the fuel filters. John has gone through several filters with his so looks like I'll be heading for the auto parts store tomorrow. Would like to have it running before the weekend. It's supposed to cool down Sat and Sun so that would be a good time to go exploring in the desert.
That's all folks. Collage is our geocaching in the desert last night and return today. W&B
