Maine has too much snow to geocache :-(

Here are the 2 new geocoins that I purchesd off ebay and activated. I have noticed that the average coin are around the 10-12 range. So, I have been waiting for a bargain...or less than what coins had been going for last year. Come and get them and take them some where warm and heavily traveled.

Here are a few more projects that I had been working on while winter has held me back from exploring new cache finds. The perler ghoul is from a Nintendo game called Final Fantasy...and Mario is from a gameboy game called QUIX. I thought Mario sporting a sombrero was worth making.

January has been quite a month for snow, ice and more ice....I cannot fathom how that spring is just 48 days and a few hours away.
GEOCACHING - Today was a sunny but frigid day, I have had caching on my mind for weeks now. I had someone geocoin in my pocket for weeks and I thought it was time to drop off the coin and allow someone else to pass it along....I had 2 of my own to drop off. I went to a place that is just off U.S. Route 1 and next to a popular diner. I laced up my boots and grabbed my shovel to dig out the ammo can and check up on the cache loot. I stomped through snow that was up to my knees and just off the path where lots of deer tracks.....so this little event took about 10 minutes and it felt good to look at the log book and rummage through the toys and goodies. So now "feeling moody" has 4 geocoins and 1 travel bug just waiting for the next adventurer. Next, I will find time to actually use my new gps that I have had since Christmas.

What a month....

It is a new year....2009 is here and since my last post, I have had allot on my plate to deal with. December 11th, I was told after 14 years of work with MBNA/Bank of America, my current was no longer needed and I was offered a severance package. I packed up my boxes and shook hands with those who I adored and enjoyed, I turned in my id badge and headed home. There had been 6 of us in my area that got the news. I was excited to start a new life and find some new job and learn something new. I decided after a few weeks to start looking for a job and I realized that I am not meant to stay home. I found a great job working from home for a company called Intelligent Signage, Inc. --see this at http://www.intelligentsignage.net/

I will in the process of learning the ropes and figuring out how to obtain new leads.

Perler: I have been busy with my time off and making several new perler designs. I realize that it occupies allot of my time....so I will wait until it is snowing out to make more time for this. I will post some pics of these masterpieces.

Geocaching: Maine is buried with snow....the snow is old and frozen solid. I went out to check out my cache hides...and had to almost bust out the containers from the icy snow. There are a few die hard Mainers that geocache in the winter....I will wait a little longer to start finding new ones. My wonderful wife bought me a Garmin Colorado 400t, it is a touchscreen and paperless handheld....it is sooooo much better than my other gps.
