Maybe

My best friend Cindy may need to move back to Minnesota from San Diego. She has struggled to find full time work since 2008. Just getting by on unemployment and temp work since then. It's been really difficult. But she has been faithfully working with the homeless church. I'm just worried she ends up homeless. And her dad just had heart surgery, so there is a need to have her back home to help. If she moves it will be soon (begining of may). And if she can not find anyone to travel cross country I'm considering taking the trip with her. It does not come at a good time. Nicole and I travel to London the last weekend in April. Then we go to Italy the last two weeks in May. Juergen would need to take most of May off in order for me to go. So we are hoping she can find someone else to go. But the idea is still interesting. America is so beautiful. San Diego, Bryce Canyon, Denver, and Mt Rushmore then Minneapolis. All the dinners, and national parks, and beauty. It is only an idea. And an idea that most likely will not happen. But maybe?

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
