What do you do when you get up about 0200, make a mad dash to the Yuma Proving Grounds to watch the Golden Knights do their "night jumping" thingy, something they do only once while here doing their winter training, and then arrive at 0330 to find the landing field completely dark. The poog at the gate didn't know a thing about the night jumping. We drove up to the area to find two other crazies waiting beside the landing field. We were just hanging around shooting the breeze when a member of the Golden Knights ambled by and told us that the wind gusts were too high and the night jumping exercise had been cancelled. He didn't know if they would be rescheduled or not. Well my normal beddy bye time is around 2300, or later, so even though I went to bed earlier I still didn't get much sleep.
Problem at 0330..........what the heck do you do now? Well we finally decided to return home, pick up Sue and Frank's car and then go to the casino. Another bad move for me. Early bird breakfast is served at 0530 for 99 cents!!! Whoopeeeee! My 99 cent breakfast cost me $35.00 and 99 cents. Would have been worse but I recovered $20.00 as Becky and were leaving.
Got home about 0730, hit the sack and got up again about 0930. Been staggering around in the fog the rest of this day.
Damn computer went "ding" about 1110 and a new geocache had been published. I didn't check the computer until 1125.......damn, 15 minutes wasted. It was about 4 miles north of us in the desert so away we go, bouncing over rocks and sand roads we got there about 1140. Looked around and saw no place to hide a cache??? I finally found it at 1150 and got the log signed. Becky has her FTF fix for this week...... #29. Got a phone call from a friend and he was wondering why we didn't wait as he and another vehicle arrived at 1205.
Hope nothing else comes out today.........if so it can just stay there until we get read to go looking. B&W
