another award


Wow! Juergen called me on the phone and told me they are going to give him an award for innovation at work. The last award he received was this glass thing that gatherers dust on one of our book selves. I'm proud of Juergen for getting an award for his project. He was so sure no one cared about what he was doing. I hope they don't give him another piece of glass. I've got 5 expensive kids to raise...I want money!

Congrats to Juergen! It's nice to know his hard work is appreciated. I agree--show me the money--who needs another dust collector. I love the post. We watch "A Christmas Story" every year. Did you know that you can actually order one of those major awards? http://www.leg-lamp.com/

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
