Good place to leave him. Near a soccer field where he can pick a fight with someone. So long, little guy! But his ability to start trouble just began...
This was the start of the end. Paulo wanted a dozen caches. It was already 5 pm and getting dark. It was also pouring rain. We were the only people in the park except for the geese. Found easy way in and found cache easily. It was a good size and I had the Little Fat Guy TB that I wanted to finally launch. His mission is to go to places where he can get in trouble. I figured a soccer field was as good a place as any. The Little Fat Guy made MY life miserable. I told Paulo to log us in while I go back to the car to get the cache as I did not know if we would get to another today. I make my way back to the cache and drop off TB and wooden nickle and we sign book. We get back to the car and Paulo opens the door. The alarm goes off. I look for my keys to shut the alrm off and no keys! We look in the abck, we look on the floor, we look under the car...nothing. Alarm resets and goes off again. It's pouring rain out by now. I had a new alarm put in last spring and didn't know how to shut it off. I fumble for my emergency key. Turn ignition. Nothing happened and alarm continues. I fumble around under dash and somehow shut it off. Nothing in pockets. Must be back at GZ. We retrace my steps, look in cache. Nope not there. Retrace steps again. Figure I can drive home with my emergency key. Halfway between cache and car Paulo finds keys in the grass! Phew that was a close one.
But the story continues. We stop at another cache on way home and then get gas. We leave for home and everything's cool. I drop Paulo off and head for home. We did a very successful 100 mile GC tour today. I feel good. I stop at Boston market for dinner, get home and put car in garage. I go upstairs and look for my mailbox key. Can't find it! I look through my pockets. Here we go again. I look for my emergency apartment key, can't find that either. Now what??? Went back to car. Still nothing. I remember they were on seat when I was at GZ parking lot. Did I drop them when I got back in? Did I drop them at the gas station? Looked for emergncy key again and thankfully got in house. HOPEFULLY I will find them in car tomorrow.
Is it the curse of the Little Fat Guy?? Hmmmm.
