I got my airline tickets

I have decided to bring Nicole to San Diego, but not go to Mexico with her. Instead I hope to fly to Oregon to spend a week alone with my parents. I haven't done that for 20 years I think. Even before I married Juergen, I would visit Mom and Dad with College friends. Nicole and I are going to fly in and out of LA. We have already booked a hotel 3 blocks from Disneyland. We hope to go to Disneyland and Knox berry farm for a few days, then spend a few days in San Diego before she goes to Mexico to build houses, and I go home to Oregon. After her missions trip and my visit we will spend another long weekend in San Diego (Nicole was born there) then fly back to Germany. At least that is the plan for the end of July. We are still raising money for the house in Mexico. Any money you donate will go to building matrials for a house. They cost $5000 in materials. Juergen is paying for my trip...and Nicole has been working for 2 years to pay her own way. It is starting to seem real now. I'm getting really excited!

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
