Day 4: mission accomplished

Day #4 gave the idea of taking a 5 minute walk, stopping where you were, making something and leaving it there for someone to find later. While that sounds cool, I don't live in a rural enough area to "find" something cool within a 5 min walk from my house.

But what's cool about this book i'm using's tips, you don't have to follow the ideas to the T. so i modified it. I decided to make something ahead of time, take a walk and leave it somewhere. so now my problem was thinking of what to make. i didn't want to make something with any kind of value. i live across the street from a high school and they're not the nicest kids (yes i know i sound like the grumpy old neighbor, but these kids suck), so i didnt want to make anything that was just going to be defaced or destroyed.

so then i remembered those "take one" signs that people have made, like "take a mustache" and the pull offs are little mustaches, and i wanted to make something like that. couldn't think of anything good. so then i thought of leaving a note for someone to find with a cute quote or joke, just to make someone smile when they find it, a fortune cookie of sorts. So i looked up some quotes and found a funny/weird one, wrote it on a piece of paper, folded it up and went for a walk.

the note: 
 
i wrote it super quick, so my mouse looks pretty haggard, but then i folded it up:

and went for a walk.

side note-my dude hurt his back. we normally go on about a mile walk a night, but he couldn't go very far last night. so on our walk, we pass a new homes construction site every night that has tractors and things, and i decided to leave it somewhere over there for some guy to find in the morning.

as we were walking up to the site, there was a huge tractor parked right in front of the newest built house:
(little dark, but it was 1 in the morning, gimme a break)

i climbed the steps and placed the note on the seat:
...and then scurried away :)

This morning, my mom, grandma and i were going shopping and drove passed the site. I saw that the tractor had been moved, and smiled to myself, hoping someone found it and passed it around the crew ;)
