I'd actually been planning to go to the September edition of "Triple Tuesday Pints & Patties - 2012" since a month ago when I noticed that this month's event was going to fall on my birthday. These Central Jersey monthly geocaching gatherings are usually small but still worth attending if I happen to have the day off ( Read more... )

Sunny, 50-60°F. I thought I'd go somewhere a bit different on the last day of 2011. Well, it's different for me anywhere since I rarely go to the Baltimore area. (That was only my second time there in 2011.) That $6 toll before the Susquehanna makes me think twice before going past Cecil County, but I digress. I started the day at the "Anchors ( Read more... )

Cloudy, 65-70°F. The day got off to a quick start when I received a new geocache notification just when I was about to head out. By coincidence, "Swim Fan" was just up the road from Denny's in Newark, where I was planning to have my free birthday Grand Slam. How convenient!

Those were all cemetery caches that I couldn't do the night before because most cemeteries have rules against going in there at night. Returned to the hotel in time for Furfright opening ceremony. Then I went to the "How to make a fursuit head" panel for a ( Read more... )

First stop of the day was to Denny's to get my free birthday Grand Slam. In the "Build Your Own Grand Slam" menu item, you get to pick four items from their list of breakfast foods. I got pancakes, eggs, bacon, and whole wheat toast. It was a leisurely affair. I didn't get there really early to begin with, so "breakfast" ended at 1pm ( Read more... )

Sunny and 46°F. I had a coupon for a free burger and fries for joining the Denny's Rewards mailing list. Of course, I had to make a day of it so I threw in some geocaching and a bit shopping too ( Read more... )
