Late night miss adventure...
1:05am: Ready for bed, checking velocache one last time. New ones... none familiar, I wonder what happens if i put that phone number from the car into google... and what comes back... an address and it seams plausible. And I really want that Whittaker pocket knife bottle opener, I love those things.
"Honey I'll be right back."
"You arn't doing that velo-shit now are you?"
I grab my bag, run to the garage pull out my bike flat on the front, crap. I pull the front wheel off of the surburban (My hybrid) and hit the road. Down to Bella and 30th, gotta hurry I know Captian Fran only lives blocks from the location. I find the car, I find the cache, I pull out my camera... no memory card (still in the computer from the last deployment) Nothing like bike headlight and iPhone pics...
2:02am: Cache secured... wife not as excited...
Drink Beer - Ride Bikes
WE HAVE ARRIVED
Well, it has happened. velocache.net is now a fully operational battle station. Prepare yourselves.
Before I digress, which I am known to do, let me start off by giving some credit and handing out some thanks. This would not have happened without you all. You know who you are. Thank you. The new site would not be in existance without Buttars, if you run into him, give him a hug and buy him a beer. HUGE thank yous to the veterans out there who have kept this afloat in times of trouble and triumph...I have personal things to say to you that will have to wait until we have a face to face.
At the pokercache party on September 19 I would really like to take a bit of all of your time and preach a little about "the game". We'll see, I will probably just get drunk and cry a lot.
SO. Go to the site. Familiarize yourself. It is different than the one we play on now but can do all of the things we do now AND MUCH MUCH MORE. You will need to create an account. It is free and always will be for players. I realize some of you have already been in and have looked around but it is time for everyone to come on board. Texting from a phone to the site works. E-mailing too. There is a great forum feature that we can all cache ourselves in as well. This site is still in beta. It is not finished so now is the time to see if we can break it.
For now, play around. Posting "real" caches is not off limits but I think it might serve us better to get really comfortable with the new toy before we go "live". Post pictures of your cats and dogs. Go to the forum and talk about bikes. Have fun.
LOVE to you all. -A. Mortician
