Hi to My family!


my airplane in Amsterdam

I am in Oregon. I had a good trip over. I landed in Seattle and had a short visit with my brother. His son is going through a crisis so it wasn't all that relaxing. I got to meet Amy, his future wife. She was totally wonderful. I also think I was a help to Rick, so for this reason the trip was worth it. I rode the train down to Oregon. I was afraid to death I would over sleep my stop. I didn't. I also missed the end of the Olympics. I missed the big hokey game. Too bad!







I am slowly getting over the jet lag. I got to bring my mom home from the hospital. I am doing a small amount of cleaning and cooking. I am also going to help mom with her therapy. It's actually pretty easy work. I love my parents and I'm glad to be here. I also spent a few hours talking with Shelley about gardens, and watching a movie with Dianna. Juergen sounds tired on the phone, and Jessica sounds sick.
I'll send photos later.
So more later! ALL MY LOVE TO JUERGEN, JESSICA, NICOLE, PHILIP, THOMAS AND SARAH! XXXOOO

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
