Its been sweltering down here in Oklahoma lately. I know its supposed to be hot here but it seems like a little extra hot lately. Friday evening our downstairs air conditioner quit working. Thank goodness for the upstairs unit. It is a lot smaller but it was the little air conditioner that could. It kept the house tolerable, especially upstairs. The repair company we used was swamped and couldn’t get to us until Sunday afternoon. They got it fixed in short order.

Of course, since the house was cooling down I felt it was time to do a little geocaching outside where it was a 100 degrees.  First I had to replace a cache that had been missing since January. Our local reviewer, “General Disarray” had sent me a nice little email asking me to take care of it, or else.

I already had a geocache container. I gave it to my friend Baloney for Christmas as part of a Secret Santa Gift Exchange. She kept it for a while and gave it back to me. OK with me, she kept the cap, complete with cap light, and the Edward tshirt.

You can tell, since she is paler than Edward, going outside is not her thing. She has lost her tan since then.

Anyway thanks to Baloney I had a container and went out and replaced my “Little Haikey Creek” Cache. The area is prone to flooding and the other caches have washed away and are probably floating around the Gulf of Mexico, soaked with BP’s Macondo well oil, along with a bunch of green sea turtles. So I elevated the cache this time. It’s going to be a little easier to find.

Of course, its a little hard to get to as you have to go down this creek about a quarter mile or so. The link to the cache page is here in case you want to try your hand at finding it. Let me know how you do.

For anybody out there who might want to get into geocaching. Heidi over at TheGoodStuffGuide.com has a post on geocaching with kids and has a giveaway going for a kid friendly GPS receiver preloaded with caches (it will work just fine for adults also). Just click here and leave a comment to enter the drawing. Of course she was smart enough to include a few comments from moi about geocaching with kids.

Speaking of kids, mine was at his Nana’s house swimming. Smart kid. I was swimming also, in sweat and deet. While I was all stinky I decided to go find some geocaches. The first one I went to said was adjacent to a school and “technically not on school property.” (Geocaches are forbidden on school property for various reasons.) I went looking for it and finally found it.

You can barely see it at the base of the pole. Dude, since it is attached to the school fence, I think technically it is on school property. I’m not going to rat you out though.

The next one was a little bit more clever. Do you see the container?

Do you see it now?

I love stuff like that.

By this time it was really hot and nobody else but me was out and about and I was feeling really hot and nasty. So it was time to do some skirt lifting. Sweetie doesn’t approve of my skirt lifting hobby but hey sometimes I just cannot help myself. My favorite kind of skirts are short skirts. Something about them…

So here is a good example of a very short skirt I lifted on Sunday,

Isn’t that nice? Who could resist that lifting that skirt? Underneath the skirt was something I was longing for, my 979th geocache find.

Sometimes when you lift skirts you are helping somebody out. Their skirt is not adjusted right and you can set things right when you let the skirt down. Here is a good example of that.

I mean if you had a skirt that was all askew wouldn’t you appreciate it if somebody set it straight? I thought so.
