Of course we need to research the different chickens for sale and price out the cost of chicken feed to add all of that into the calculations. And just as important, we have to come up with a game plan for how to keep the wild foxes from killing the chickens. I’m not sure that we will be able to keep the chickens safe.

I’ve been checking out some online flowers and getting some really good ideas from various Gardening sites. It amazing how many varieties of plants, flowers, shrubs, tree and bushes there is out there for people’s landscaping concepts. I’ve never been the best at making choices, but I’m taking my time, showing my ideas around and getting good feedback so far. I’m really looking forward to getting outside and getting my hands dirty instead of freezing cold as they have for many months now.

My brother-in-law is always telling me that he can get a really good discount on computers from a vendor of his. I think I’ll talk to him and see if he can fix me up with my own laptop so my wife and I won’t have to compete for computer time.

Anyway, I discovered a lot of people were going to the range, which really surprised me.  Come to find out, half the people going to the range were getting ready to take a proficiency test to get their gun permit.  I already had mine, although I am preparing to go for my federal permit.  I don’t have to worry about qualifying; I consider myself a great shot.  I still go every week just to make sure; and it is fun!  But back to the people that go there regularly now.  They will probably never go back there again after they get their gun permit as it has become quite a controversial issue down here in the Washington area.

While talking to the gun shop owner, who owns the range, he agreed with me too, but business is brisk right now and these people will take all the business they can get!  I forgot to mention he holds proficiency classes every Saturday and is booked up for the next three months!

After we moved down here, my brother-in-law offered to give me his jet ski because it was broken down and he didn’t have the time to fix it.  So, we drove over to his house and picked it up and brought it home.  The following week, after assessisng it, we found that it only needed a new battery and fuel pump.  Since that time, I’ve found many places down here where we can take the jet ski to use it.  So, we plan to use it frequently, and expect to have a lot of fun.  A bonus for me was that after I went to work at my new job, a couple of my co-workers also have jet skis, so we plan to get together and do a lot of riding this summer.
