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&#8217;t get to us until Sunday afternoon. They got it fixed in short order.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, since the house was cooling down I felt it was time to do a little <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/\">geocaching<\/a>&nbsp;outside where it was a 100 degrees.&nbsp;&nbsp;First I had to replace a cache that had been missing since January. Our local reviewer, &#8220;General Disarray&#8221; had sent me a nice little email asking me to take care of it, or else.<\/p>\n<p>I already had a geocache container. I gave it to my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsbaloney.com\/\">Baloney<\/a> for Christmas as part of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsbaloney.com\/2009\/11\/sshhhhhhh-secret-santa.html\">Secret Santa Gift Exchange<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/geocaching-girl.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/geocaching-girl-199x300.jpg\" width=\"213\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>.<br \/>You can tell, since she is paler than Edward, going outside is not her thing. She has lost her tan since then.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway thanks to Baloney I had a container and went out and replaced my &#8220;Little Haikey Creek&#8221; 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&#8217;s Macondo well oil, along with a bunch of green sea turtles. So I elevated the cache this time. It&#8217;s going to be a little easier to find.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4811113430\/\" title=\"20100719_12 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20100719_12\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/4811113430_651d11926c-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, its a little hard to get to as you have to go down this creek about a quarter mile or so.

Heidi over at <a href=\"http:\/\/thegoodstuffguide.com\/\">TheGoodStuffGuide.com<\/a>&nbsp;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegoodstuffguide.com\/geocaching-with-a-geomate-jr-giveaway\/\">here<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of kids, mine was at his Nana&#8217;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 &#8220;technically not on school property.&#8221; (Geocaches are forbidden on school property for various reasons.) I went looking for it and finally found it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4810496397\/\" title=\"20100719_16 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20100719_16\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4810496397_1472ff8cbc-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m not going to rat you out though.<\/p>\n<p>The next one was a little bit more clever. Do you see the container?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4811116758\/\" title=\"20100719_14 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4811116758_b20ba26c40-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"20100719_14\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do you see it now?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4811118274\/\" title=\"20100719_15 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4811118274_616405f801-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"20100719_15\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I love stuff like that.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>So here is a good example of a very short skirt I lifted on Sunday,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4811121298\/\" title=\"20100719_17 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4811121298_a1a438315d-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"20100719_17\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that nice? Who could resist that lifting that skirt? Underneath the skirt was something I was longing for, my 979th geocache find.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4810499395\/\" title=\"20100719_18 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4810499395_1ab4e02be3-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"20100719_18\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I mean if you had a skirt that was all askew wouldn&#8217;t you appreciate it if somebody set it straight? I thought so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
