It was beautiful today so after all my Honey Do's I..

[Uncle Willy]

ventured out about an hour or so before dark and hit a playground. It sucked and the playground was soaked and was like walking on a wet sponge. I found a hot 44 cents before darknes and the cold crept up on me, but at least I got out. I left a couple of coins I couldn't find in the soggy chips. Besides I had some Mexican kid hanging on me like a blow fly irritating the hell out of me. We're supposed to have two or three more dry days so maybe I can score something.

All of last week and for the rest of this week I am stuck doing the monday=friday dayshift thing at work. Haven't worked straight days in over fifteen years so it just kills me to see a blue sky day go by with me stuck indoors. Blue sky days here on the wet side of Washington State are as rare as even tempered red-heads. (I am one and married one, trust me I know)
As I am just starting my hobby of metal detecting I really can't imagine what it is like to spend a day hunting without being bundled up in layers of clothing and soaking wet rain gear. Once good wether arrives it will be strange not being covered in mud while using a detector that looks like it was a "FIND" and not a "Finder" if you get my drift.

Maybe in your book this story could be included in the chapter titled "It Ain't Always Easy."

[quote John 'n' W.Va]So, do you know how to say, "get lost" in Spanish?[/quote]I do. Just point and say "La Migra". That's Spanish for Border Patrol. If he's an illegal, he'll run for the nearest creek and hide

But thanks to recent storm damage - priorities for damage repairs has really cut into my detecting time for a good while - and this is the time of year I usually do most of detecting - wish I could squeeze an hour or two in a week - but when repairs are done, I'll either be more than ready or all worn out.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah unluckily repairs come first. But there will be better times. Today I had to take momma to the doctor and was there until 4M so that blew today. It gets dark and cold here at 4:59 PM. During summer I'm still detecting at 10 PM as it doesn't get dark till around 11 PM.

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah that's a plus.

[Uncle Willy]
