and the last few days have been mostly uneventful. Becky lost a bet to me last Wednesday evening, a new cache came out and it was too far for us to drive since we know some cachers who live in the vicinity. I bet this kid (actually a school teacher who's in his 20s) would be the first to find. Becky bet on another friend and both of them live a little over a mile from the new cache. My man won! La84fishn also picked my man. The bet was for lunch and Becky said to invite Larry and Audrey for lunch too and then we would try to find the cache called "Road Ralley" which we tried on Christmas Day but had to give it up. The cache we had bet on was placed at Burgers 'n Beer, a sports bar that had just been remodeled. We met Mr. & Mrs. La84fishn at B&B, found the cache and had a pretty nice lunch...........actually a VERY GOOD lunch, mainly because Becky was buying! We started off looking for the cache at about 1230.......don't know how far we drove, got sidetracked and off course a couple of times and made a nice tour of Yuma. Eventually we found all the clues and came up with coordinates that were to lead us to a tiny capsule that gave us the final resting place. We had been at this for nearly two hours, traffic sucked so we called the cache owner to see if we intrepreted all clues correctly. We were one number off..........! Fortunately the cache owner, Magimark, took some pity on us and told us where we made the mistake. Becky came up with the correct answer and we were on our way again. Found the cache and we were so glad to get it out of the way that the official photographer forgot to take any pictures of our travels but managed to take a couple at the end of the trip. It was a nice afternoon and took close to three hours to complete.
Friday was our "domestic" day so did laundry and cleaned up the house. End of day!!! Didn't do anything else except Becky fixed up a nice pot roast for dinner. Today was another slow day........mainly because it's been COLD down here, I think the high temp today just barely made it to 61!! Supposed to be mid and upper 60s until Thursday when we expect to break the 70 barrier. Maybe we'll get out and about a little more then.
We did take in a movie this afternoon and after that had lunch at the restaurant about a block from the theater. We keep driving by it, the name is Happy Chef or something like that so "B" thought a nice chinese lunch would be good. Surprise, surprise.......when we pulled into the parking lot we both saw that the name of the joint was "Happy Greek Chef"! Whadda surprise as we both had been under the impression, for the past three winters, that it was a Chinese restaurant. I said I'd check the menu but don't be surprised if I leave. It turned out to be an American style restaurant that served breakfast, lunch and dinner.....breakfast served all day long, my kind of place. I opted for something else and Becky tried the pork tenderloin sandwich. It was a very good lunch so we'll be back.
Grabbed a cache at the new Walmart on the way home and ended day. Got the electric heater running so we're in for the remainder of the evening. B&W
