Elba

Agriturismo Le Sughere all'isola d'Elba from isoleditoscana - elbavideo.com on Vimeo.



I don't know if we will go there, but I found a nice hotel in Elba, Italy.  Elba is a small island about one hour by ferry from the Italian coast.  Juergen wants to go there.  I thought we could rent a hotel for 2 nights and check Elba out. Maybe as a birthday gift to Juergen?  I don't think the kids will like it because there are no soccer fields.  Jessica does not like boat rides, but I think a one hour ferry ride is OK.  Oh the places we would go if we did not have kids!



I wonder if my brother Rick could come to Germany and paint a mural of this terracotta house on the wall behind my vegetable garden?  We could re plaster the wall, paint it terracotta, and have him paint windows and shutters and flowers.  Wouldn’t that be cool! It's been almost 5 years since Rick was here.  Seems right for him to come again!  I miss him!

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
