Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Yesterday I took Mom and Dad to Rothenburg ob der Tauber for lunch. We were on our way to some castle when I asked Dad if he would rather go to Rothenburg. He has been there a few times, but I know he loves it there. But pushing his wheelchair on the uneven streets was pretty hard. We didn't get very far. We sat and had lunch in a beer garden. The weather was very nice. Then they took a short ride in a carriage. I stayed with Jessica. I have been to Rothenburg many times. Dad was pretty tired today. It's a good thing I didn't take him to Italy. I'm sure it would have killed him. It's got to be hard not being able to do so much. Mom already started to pack for the trip home. Sadly the time has gone by very fast. We have less then a week left.

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
