First I had to visit Dr. Kevin for some dental repair. Dick had made a date with Tim and Susie for us to meet them for a late lunch in Cadillac followed by group geo-caching.
By the time I left the dentist, I was still totally numbed on one side, and you know how that is - you don't dare eat anything until it wears off or else you wind up eating your tongue and cheek.
We got to The Hillcrest a little early, so we just had coffee and read the paper for a while. All of a sudden, the power failed. It was a real surprise because it was a sunny day with no wind or storm. The restaurant got very quiet - I threatened to hum to replace the background music. The people at adjacent tables called home to see if they had also lost power, and that's how we found out that the power was out in McBain and Lake City as well.
There was still a blackout when Tim and Susie arrived. Luckily, the waitress said that the buffet items were still hot, so they all had the buffet. I had a large tomato juice. (See Paragraph 2!)
Then we were off to find some caches. By the time it was dark, we had found 6. I didn't find any, Dick found 2, and so DinoDuo were the most successful. They also did 5 before they met us, and 2 after we left - so they had a big, big day. Six is really a good number for us on the average day.
We just grabbed a burger at McDonald's on the way home - my tomato juice lunch wasn't holding up.
It was a good day.
