things have taken a turn

I changed my mind. I'm not going to the wedding in June. The cost of the ticket was keeping me up at night. I felt zero peace. I decided I would rather go now and help my mom. She is getting her knee replaced at the end of the week. I had a good talk with my brother. He forgives me for missing his big day. I am instead flying into Seattle to see his house (I've never seen it). Then we will drive down to Oregon together. He gets to see Amy, his soon to be MRS. I get to meet her (we knew each other in high school but that was 30 years ago). So Rick I'll see you on Saturday in Seattle. Family I will see you on Sunday or Monday. I need a ride to Portland on March 10 at around 7:30. My flight leaves at 12:15. Friends, I am sorry but I'll be pretty busy helping my parents so I don't have time to really visit anyone else. It will be a short and purposeful trip. I here it's warm in Oregon. How nice!!! There is no place like home!

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
