I woke up this morning knowing it would be the perfect day for a geocache. It was a crisp mid-60s and still relatively early in the morning, so I knew there wouldn’t be as many bug attacks. I decided to hit up two different areas of East Greenbush to snag some geocaches…an old railroad line and the local cemetery. I think I found two out of the three caches I was looking for, but I’ll get to that in a bit. Let’s start from the beginning, when I left my house at around 7:15ish and headed to the old railroad path for my first cache of the day.
The path I was to follow was directly off a side road, so I pulled my car over onto the grass, got out, and headed down the trail. What I quickly realized was that this is the same trail that runs right adjacent to our apartment complex, so I could have technically just followed that all the way down, though it would have been one heck of a walk! Eventually my GPS told me to head off the path and into the woods, where the cache would be. After some brief searching through the bramble and brush, I eyed my prize, which wasn’t too well hidden (so long as you happened to be walking in the woods, off the path.)

So the past week Shell has been putting together our apartment with all the neat gifts she received at her shower. We got a heck of a lot of kitchen stuff. We got an awesome panini maker/griddle/waffle iron contraption that I am excited to use. Shell got a food processor so she can start making some great new incredible edibles. We also got a new pot set, which may not sound too exciting, but we definitely needed it since the old pot we had was loose, and the handle was on the verge of falling off. The most exciting thing we got was a set of four beer mugs, which Im looking forward to using for some frosty brewskis.
We also got a bunch of stuff to redecorate the bathroom. Initially I thought it was lame and didn’t really care about getting all these new towels, shower curtains, and other matching toiletry stuff. But the day Shell finished putting it all up and I walked in, I was pretty impressed with how awesome it looked.
