Arghhh! The Jeep spit out 7 quarts of oil on the way home from my daughter’s yesterday…mechanic can’t figure out why cuz it’s not doing it now…think I need either a new Jeep or a new mechanic!
Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)
07/28/2015 at 1:31 pm #2041701Stopped raining now. We might try wading into the muck of Lake Neshonoc for a cache the local kids placed. Been found, so we know it can be…found. Dick spent some time with one of the kids to help them better understand the ways of the game. Some of what he shared is sticking. No more “TFTC” logs, for one.
We’re glad they’re placing, not vandalizing, as has been the problem around here the last year or so.
07/28/2015 at 2:12 pm #20417027 qrts? So everything that was in there? Someone leave out the drain plug? Was there oil on the engine or under it? There aren’t valve covers caps anymore…Missing dipstick. That is a lot of oil.
Following the signals from space.

07/28/2015 at 6:55 pm #2041709Doing your job, SL!
07/28/2015 at 7:07 pm #2041710Thank you, Birdin’. I took some time off to have supper, do the dishes, and water some plants, since we got only a few drops of rain today. 🙄 Looks like LaCrosse got about three-quarters of an inch. We’re waiting to see what we get overnight. Then tomorrow we mow the lawn and water the gardens, if necessary. Next rain chances after tonight aren’t until Sunday.
07/28/2015 at 7:29 pm #2041711Found some oldies today. Wish HP2 would’ve updated their logs on one because I was at the wrong level on a bluff and wasted a good 25 minutes walking around looking where it wasn’t. I’m sure they would’ve had words or pictures that would’ve pointed me in the right place faster.
Taught a muggle I drove up on that was parked within 5′ of a D5 how to play the game. Showed her where things could be hidden and while talking about what they can look like, I put my hand on the cache. Found faster than any other cache today, and a D5! She is going to sign up and keep an eye on the caches where she ranches (on public land) which is good because the CO for those is inactive.

07/28/2015 at 8:32 pm #20417137 qrts? So everything that was in there? Someone leave out the drain plug? Was there oil on the engine or under it? There aren’t valve covers caps anymore…Missing dipstick. That is a lot of oil.
I put in 2 1/2 quarts before leaving my daughter’s, another 1 1/2 quarts after about 2 hours on the road, another quart about an hour later, and two more quarts when I got to Shawano. All the oil was underneath, nothing was missing or lose, and now it’s not leaking at all…I’m as dumbfounded about that as the mechanic. So now the question is, do we take the camper to Door Co. this weekend with the Jeep…or not? Let’s put it to a vote here in the forums!

I remember Car Talk having someone call in with something like this… Something to do with the engine parts warming up and leaking, but not when it cooled down. That’s all my engine know-how.

07/28/2015 at 9:38 pm #2041715Just updated my profile and saw how old those oldies were I found today! Two were within the first year of caching and the other was an early ’02 hide. In the past week, I’ve bumped all my old WI caches off my list except for World Wide Quarters (it’s going to take some doing to get that off my top 20) and found a moving cache – which was the CO’s car/puzzle cache. I’ve been heading into northern California when I get the chance. Plenty of old ones there, but I’m down to driving 40+ minutes to get a cache if I head south; east is a cache desert because I’ve found all of them within 90 minutes of driving; north is worse than east because there are almost none that way; west is Klamath Falls. I have over 100 left to find within the greater KF metro area, but it is like caching in Green Bay and I am not really fond of urban caching. Guess it is like living in the Northwoods, with mountains thrown in for fun and inconvenience.
All I need to do now is find someplace close that is having a CITO. The closest earthcaches are over an hour from here. 🙁
I do have my puzzle cache all solved and ready to be found once that time rolls around. Been knocking out the puzzle caches except for the ones on my list (in other thread). Those just make me sit there and ????
Got a call from the Red Cross today asking if they could suck my O- blood. They said the nearest blood bank is X miles away, but the dude calling me from Portland didn’t realize that there is no straightline driving down here. KF is “12” miles away but takes 30 minutes of non-rush hour driving. They said, oh. We talked about the possibility of a drive occurring in the near future. The next one will be at school, when I planned to donate anyway, but the kids haven’t set a date yet. WI Red Cross never called me.

07/28/2015 at 10:28 pm #2041718Have a blood drive where you also pick up trash, Noonan… before the summer souvenir season is over.
07/28/2015 at 10:35 pm #2041719I know there was a thread talking about power trails, but here goes one for you!

07/28/2015 at 10:57 pm #2041720Got the second room of flooring installed today. Belt on the lawnmower broke, though, requiring a trip to town.
