It's a bit brisk out there...

I woke up at 0400.
Why?
I went to bed at 1700 yesterday.
Why?
I had been up and active since 2355 the previous day.
Again, why?
I had to work. That what my shift calls for.
Anyway, back to what I was gonna write about.
As I lay in bed pondering my fate for the day I wondered what the temperature was, as it was a bit chilly in the house. Like a fool, I slipped out of a nice warm comfy bed and padded out to the front room. This is what I saw:
(note the time. the temp had not changed from the time I got up to the time I took the pic.)


Like a bigger fool, I decided I was too awake to go back to bed until a reasonable time. Instead, I threw on some clothes and went outside to have a smoke (I cannot and will not smoke in a residence. In a casino or bar, okay, as they have appropriate air-filtering for that kind of stuff).
Look at the outside temp. This is a huge indicator that I should quit the nasty habit. Besides, if I quit smoking, I'll have more energy and money to devote to caching!
Speaking of the game/hobby/sport/life-consuming pastime, I've been a bit off my game lately. I need to get back into the hunt. I miss the challenge of the FTF, or even the STF.
Don't get me wrong, if I haven't found a cache yet, I want to. I love the originality of most of the placements, and there's no way that I would have found the places I have been to had NevadaWolf not hooked me on this infernal and totally addicting adventure. The people I've met and have yet to meet, the places I've been and will be can not be compared to anyone or any place that I have experienced previously. It just keeps getting better, and I hope this ride never stops.
Well, it's about time that I get ready for work. It's been 4 hours now since I woke up, so I guess I really should go do something productive.

Stay safe, stay warm, and CACHE ON!!
