The Mount View Crew Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I can't believe it. It is a gorgeous day, the sun is out, the sky is blue (with just the merest hint of a cloud here and there), the whole family is finally well (so many bugs and viruses at the moment) - a perfect day for caching. But where am I? Stuck at work, and wishing I was anywhere else but here. Nothing else really to say, but a problem shared is a problem halved (apparently?). Hope everyone else has had a really good day. Quote
+Birders Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Don't worry - it's bitterly, bitterly cold, windy and 'orrible. Only place to be is in a warm car or indoors looking out. Caching can wait until it's 15 degrees or more!! Quote
+Kitty Hawk Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Been there and that rates as 2nd on my list of reasons for not working at a place where I could double my earnings. Reason 1 - having to be at work at 8.30 - I drop the kids off at school, to get there at this time would be stressful Reason 2 - I hate working Saturdays, I did it for 15 years. Instead I have just bought memory map and I've spent several hours making my PDA fail to work with it. Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny too so that I continue this process before making it work late on Sunday evening. Quote
+The Golem Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I've just returned from finding a cache - had to wade across a freezing cold river 'cos I didn't follow the cache setters instructions! I must admit it was better than working though... Quote
+The Mars Bars Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I've had a crap cacheless day also... Shopping for bathroom tiles and then Tescos, where the fire alarm went off 'cos some idiot set light to the kitchen rolls. Stood outside for 50 mins before they let us all back in. I think I'd rather be at work!!?!??! Tomorrow can only be better! Mini Golf and caching on the Wirral. Cheers Dave Quote
The Mount View Crew Posted February 25, 2006 Author Posted February 25, 2006 Thanks Guys and Girls - if nothing else its certainly nice and warm here in the office! But I have got to do it all again tomorrow - 7 til 7 - aaaggghhhh!! But anyway, even if I cant go out to play, at least I can talk to other cachers on this forum. Cheers. Quote

Been in bed ill for over a week now on antibiotics and feel terrible but going back to work tomorrow even though my sick note doesnt finish until monday so no caching for me for ages now Quote
alistair_uk Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 For reference the weather in Tyneside was great until the havens opened and a lake fell out. Naturally I was in the middle of a field when this happened. Quote
+wizard1974uk Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Hopefully get a couple of caches done tomorrow. Quote
+Hillhappy1 Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Done a couple today and an event tomorrow Worked 12 hour weekends for 25 years so i know the feeling, but now i don't have to. Not much caching next week by the looks of it -10c and snow. The micros will take some finding !! Quote
+HazelS Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 well... just to rub salt in the wound... Mr Sandiway Searcher had to go to a metng in Coventry today, so Mrs Sandiway Searcher and I decided we'd tag along and cache... We did 5 caches withiout Mr S and another 5 with him... We're shattered nwo... beats working eh!! Quote
adrianjohn Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Big frustration for me today. I was going to do a few caches today, but only got to the end of my drive when I discovered my brakes were not working . A bit of a look round revealed a leaking brake pipe, and I was unable to get it repaired today. To top it all I got soaked in the rain showers looking to see if I could fix it without calling in the profesionals. Quote
+alma Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 just spotted a newly released cache and guess what i have no transport to get to it talk about cheesed off Quote
The Mount View Crew Posted February 26, 2006 Author Posted February 26, 2006 So I am not the only one out there unable to go caching. Life should be something that you can fit in around geocaching, but the reality is that life just kinda takes over and caching sometimes just has to go out of the window for a few days. I have pencilled in my next day off (Thursday) to get some caches in the bag - well maybe 1 anyway. Quote
+wizard1974uk Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 I'll be booking a week off around my birthday on 20th March, so I'll see what happens. Quote
+John Stead Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Big frustration for me today. I was going to do a few caches today, but only got to the end of my drive when I discovered my brakes were not working . A bit of a look round revealed a leaking brake pipe, Crikey Adrian - I did not think the Lincs geocachers would stoop so low as to cut your brake pipe to stop you getting to a FTF!!! Quote

Well it might have been SWMBO, but I think it really goes back to some work I had done for the MOT back in December. I had to have some brake pipes renewed and the leak is at the joint between the new pipe and the flexible hose to the rear brake cylinder. Oh well! if I cant get it fixed by the garage for free I suppose I will have to pay up. Sigh! Quote
