Day 68: Planning Ahead
Scattered throughout our brains are a variety of business ideas. One of them could be a goldmine. More likely, several of them are copper mines -- individually, not worth all that much, but together, quite valuable. One of our goals is to explore as many of these ideas as we can, to see if they can be added to our list of copper mines.
One such idea depends on a specific domain name. It is currently registered, but will expire soon. We had hoped to back order it, but the process did not go smoothly. Go Daddy has typically been a flawless resource, but today they failed us. They decided after we had bought a backorder account, but before we specified the domain we wanted, that it was too late to perform a backorder for that domain. Anytime you can pay for what you want but still not get it, there is a flaw in the system.
So, today did not go according to plan, but things are still in progress. I will tell more when I can.
Week 8: Boy Scouts
Billy and I attended the Oklahoma Geocaching Spring Fling this weekend... and we had an amazing time. It was held in Red Rock Canyon State Park (Hinton, Oklahoma). Despite the park's name, we somehow didn't expect all the climbing -- up the canyon and down the canyon -- that we'd be doing. We were exhausted. That's what made Boy Scout Troop 84's service extra-special. They prepared and served this weekend's food for the whole group. We gave them a little extra donation because they did a wonderful job. I suspect I'll keep either that specific group or the United Way in general in mind for a future week's donation as well.
