Andy's Other Cache

This cache post occurred today and I wanted to share it with you. It's a really funny story and I thought I would post it here for those who wouldn't normally see my posts. You can find the actual cache at Andy's Other Cache and read the story there, as well as MH's (Money Hunter) FTF log.

You're Welcome for the FTF! You owe me the same MH!

Don’t mind the narrative rambling below, but it’s a funny story. Skip to the end for my info on this find.

OK, I'm sitting at the eye docs last night (they have late hours Tuesdays) and halfway through my eyes dilating for the doc I get the message that this and another cache have been published. I look at the phone and of course all the text is fuzzy and I can't read a FREAKIN' thing. AAAHHHHHH! WHY NOW!! NOT NOW!! There is NO WAY I can leave and snag this one for FTF. Had I been home, this would have been a no-brainer to grab, seeing is how it is less than a mile from my house. UGH! Of all times to come out, WHY NOW?! I sit there for a few minutes contemplating calling my wife, SchweeyPi (I love you honey!), to ask her to get the cords for me, but I knew she wasn’t feeling the best and was trying to finish dinner for us, so I left her alone. Dealing with the heartache and anguish (and head banging on the wall, OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!), I reluctantly concede that this one is a no go for FTF. So knowing I couldn't get it, I thought I would let the next fastest cacher I know try for it if she hadn’t already started (sorry MH, you ARE second :-). I then ask a nurse for a phonebook (WHAT AM I THINKING? I can't read a freakin’ phonebook NOW!), but I riffle the pages, holding it near and far from my eyes because they are so blurred now, I couldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth if I tried. I’m trying to look for MH’s number because I don't have it. Find what I think may be it and give it a ringy dingy. Sure nuff' she answers (can you believe that, first one) and I proceed to fill her in. She's glad I called too because she didn't know about them yet and hadn't even got the message about this one by the time I called (man I wish I had been at the house, AAAHHH!) I told her about the two publishings. She looks up the first and says, “nah, that’s too far for tonight. You can have it.” (Told her about eye doc and couldn’t), then she looks up the second (had to give her the GCCode) and I can hear the mad rush take form. Have you ever heard the sound of a mad rush take form? I have now and have probably had those moments as well (ask my wife). Anywho, MH’s in a rush to get out the door telling her kids to get their shoes on because “husbands not home yet.” No wait, I specifically heard “bring them with you, you can put them on in the car”. At this time, I’m LMBO because had I not called, she would not have known. She goes, “what are you laughing at?” I say, “you, because had I been home you wouldn’t have known and I would have gotten the FTF doing the same thing.” We hung up, but I had to LOL again because I could just imagine the after burners from her car trying to get there.

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. I just thought it was hilarious and had to share. BTW, my eyes are fine.

Needless to say: Found this one at 7:45 am on the way in to work this morning. TN / L: George Teddy Bear TB (Left this one especially for ANDY, so if you read this log before you try it and the TB is still there, could you leave it for Andy? THANKS!) / SL

TFTC! And the experience it provided.

This part was encrypted:
You know, thinking back on it now, I REALLY don’t think MH believed my story about the eye doc because she was in such a hurry to get there before me. I could be wrong though, maybe it's because she is the second fastest cacher I know! :-) LOL!


I will be periodically posting different cache logs because we all have experiences finding a cache that something was funny about it. I hope you laugh at mine like I did. Check back often.
