Monk


Did I tell you someone stole pumpkins from our yard? We had pumpkins in our yard waiting to be carved, and a paper skeleton hanging up. Halloween is something new to Germany. I like to put some decorations up so the kids know they can come trick or treating at our house. Anyway, on Sunday morning (my birthday) I noticed most my decorations were gone. They didn't take anything with much value, I just hated they took anything at all. I find it very disrespectful.

Today is Halloween. The kids have a week of fall vacation. Philip and Thomas were outside playing with two friends. They come to the front door with a plastic bag, and a hair. They think the hair belongs to the pumpkin thief, so they were going to place it in the small plastic bag as evidence. They have been watching Monk DVD's. Then they told me they were going to hunt for more clues. I know they will crack this case wide open!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
