I am feeling exhilarated this morning. I now weigh 185 pounds. This was the goal that I set for myself on July 3 and which I aimed to achieve by the end of August. Goal accomplished! I have been at this weight a few times in the last few years, but have always had difficulty getting it lower. I will see if I can get it down to 180 by the end of September. This has the tacit goal of not gaining any weight in that period. Another sub-goal is to begin an exercise routine.
My reading program is progressing nicely. The Sid Marty book about grizzly bears is fantastic.
My interest in geocaching is gaining momentum. I am going to try for another cache today - this time the TB Hotel in Lethbridge. It is a larger cache - I am taking a break from the micro-caches for awhile - and am looking forward to seeing how well this works with the car. I am also interested in seeing how geocaching can be combined with local histories. Another idea is to use the GPS unit to provide coordinates for cemetery plots while doing genealogical research.
My model train hobby should begin to kick in as well. The days are getting cooler and shorter which leads to more indoor activities.

I am back from my visit to the Lethbridge TB Hotel. This morning I learned to pay attention to the garbage wheelies in the lane. My car was almost run over by the garbage truck making its rounds while I was in the hotel visiting. I found two guests in the hotel, but they were just getting up when I arrived. I managed to get them to pose for a photo but I was a bit early for a coffee.

The tall guest is from Deadwood, South Dakota and had his mouth open telling me about his journey. The other lady, trying to comfort him, was from Alaska.
This is certainly much more fun than looking for little green things in trees.
