WIPs gone bad

Once again, I failed to complete my new Sunday posting goals (Works in Progress aka WIPs), and I still haven't found out about Stan Meserve's wolf sightings. Life just gets in the way, and it darned well should. When I let my blogging schedule dictate my life, it's time to wrap it up. All day long, that is. Everyone knows to leave me alone between 7-8 a.m., but anything posted after that is just not gonna fly unless it works out.

So, yesterday's adventure got in the way. Around 12:30 we picked up Mother and headed for Bonners Ferry and on to Canuck Basin, where Bill, my sisters, their dog Pita, our dog Kiwi and I went on a memorable 8-mile hike to the Scout.

Of course, geocaching was involved in that hike as it was on yesterday's outing. We also stopped to do some target practicing with the .22 rifle. We offered Mother the opportunity to try her luck with the targets, but she was happy to sit in the sun and watch. She also enjoyed seeing the fruits of Bill's two geocaching finds and thought that might be a fun hobby.

We've got to get the folks at Groundspeak, Inc. to come up with a "Geocaching for Seniors" concept where wheelchairs, canes and easy access dictate the cache locations. Seems like it could open some whole new worlds for folks looking for mental stimulation and a little more excitement during their day.

Speaking of senior citizens, I do think Don Albertson looks quite dapper with his new hair. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if Don decides to re-gift his hair piece. Who's next? I vote Terry Iverson!

Happy Monday.
