Monday Monday!

I had a very hard time waking up today....no I really mean it! I went to pour my coffee and only got hot water. I had forgotten to put coffee in the pot. The phone rang. Someone needed Juergen's work number. I could not think of it to save my life. They must have thought I was drunk. I don't drink...I was just asleep. So I went to find the phone list and gave the man Juergen's number. Then I smell plastic burning. I thought I had turned the burner off on the stove. What I actually did is turn the back burner on the stove. I had melted the plastic handle on a glass lid of a pot. I could have burned the house down. I drank my coffee, and took my vitamins. I felt like popping one of the ADHD pills my boys take. I didn't do that, but man I was ADD this morning! Not good! The kids begin summer vacation on Thursday. I'll be able to sleep in for 6 weeks. That should help me allot. I'm simply too tired.

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
