Up date from Oregon

Hi people! I'm in Oregon with my parents. They have a dial up Internet (very slow...too slow). I'll load photos when I get home next week. The big news is I brought Jessica on this trip. I never told anyone because I wanted to surprise my parents. I have the coolest video of them crying at the airport in Eugen when they saw her. My dad has not seen Jess for 5 years. She has done great the whole time. There is so much to say, but I'll blog it all next week. Nicole is in Mexico now. I don't get to hear from her until Saturday when I pick her up in San Diego. Please continue to pray for her. I'm sure it will be an incredible week for her! I talked to Juergen, and he brought Philip and Thomas to camp. It's their first camp experience. Juergen said Philip was pretty afraid. The tent counsellor took the boys to the lake for a swim the first minute they arrived. I'm sure they will have a super time. It's a Christian camp. We are praying it also has a big spiritual influence (for good) on the boys. Sorry I can not load photos (too slow). I am having a full and wonderful time...Jess is doing great! Many greetings from Oregon!!! Just check back next week and I'll fill in the details!

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
