July 24th

We had a great day today.  We started off with a big breakfast, which I like and Cyndy kind of picks at.   But I can't complain, she has been losing weight lately which she really likes and she is felling a hole lot better and if mom is happy everyone is happy.  Keep it up honey!!!!   I just wish I could lose as much as she has?
Anyway we took off this morning for some Geocaching around the area.  We have finally went over 200 finds, and we are on our way to 300 some time in the future.
One of the places that we found a cache was near this memorial in Florence, Oregon.




This was a War Memorial and it was done in a beautiful back drop of the bay.  To find it was just a lot of luck but we did find the cache here after admiring the wall.
We found these birds nesting on some old pine trees that are dead from all of the bird poop.  These birds are called, "Cormorants" they are known for their great fishing skills.   We did find this cache also but first we had to watch out for falling bird poop, the trail took us right under these birds.
So we can say now that we are at 205 fines and going forward, we are hoping before we leave here to be close to 250.  There are a lot of caches in this area so maybe we will meet our goal.
Tomorrow I take the truck into Ford dealership to rebuild the rear-end dif.  It has been making some noise's lately that I don't like to hear, so while I am doing that I am gearing it down to a 463 gears.  It should make a big difference or I am hoping in pulling and backing. 
Today they started building up the dune here in our park, hoping to cut down on the wind. 
 When it is all done it will be about 30 to 40 feet higher were they are at right now.  It will help cut the wind down from 40 to 9 mile per hour when done.  They are going to be adding bark to the mix and that is to help hold the sand and start some vegetation growing which will stop the sand from moving over the parking lot.  I hope it works.
