Expedition

To get a Consecutive Streak going from yesterday's hash, I was going to drive up to the Toronto Graticule for a rare instance where the Hash lands on the American side of the Niagara River.

I spent the morning cleaning out my car and ended up chatting with the neighbors for a bit. Boy, the dogs and I track in a LOT of dirt when we go play outside. After lunch, I got a call from my manager that I needed to sign in and address a couple emails (related to the COVID-19 response and related new Legislation). While I was doing that, I got a call from an older friend who was having some computer problems. Chatting with her I found out she was looking for some Borax to clean with but all the stores were sold out. I make my own Laundry Detergent and had nearly a full box so told her I could drop it off in a little bit.

With work complete, I wrote up directions to Lewiston and headed out. I dropped off the Borax and in return got a bar of soap (also used for the Laundry Detergent, so it was a good trade). Continuing to drive north, I passed the Outer Harbor of Buffalo and saw the Parking lot for Tifft absolutely packed. Everyone is trying to get out of the house this weekend. As I approached the city, I realized I forgot to grab the library book that I need to return. If I was going to drive this far north, the plan was to at least get some errands done on the way back. Oh, well. Thinking of visiting my friend, I also forgot my written directions too and was using my phone's map. But I was at least familiar with the route now.

Getting to Lewiston, I made my way to the Hash-road and easily found the spot but I was driving past it on the wrong side. Turning around in someone's driveway, I drove up to the hash using the Hashdroid app now. The location pointer jumped around a bit, but eventually settled down right next to the hash and I got my proof. Another success had, I made my way home where I typed up these reports and had leftover pizza for dinner.

Let's see what happens tomorrow to see if I can keep this streak going.
