Road Trip

[dalthauser]

Saturday I visited a chicken friend a friend who has chickens to pick up some old gates her husband was going to burn.  They will come in handy when I build the new coop this winter.  I'll have to replace some of the wood but that's okay - I can use the old wood as a template.

While there she showed me a cool way to weatherproof coop windows for the winter

Plexiglass and those turny thingies - so siimple!! Now I don't have to worry about making more venilation windows so the birds can stay cool in the summer heat.

Carla lives in the "hills" outside San Marcos.  You drive past Bobcat Stadium on the way.  This is where Sierra graduated. 


I stopped at Sam's on the way home.  I got eggs, bread (first time in a long time to get store bought bread0, a goat cheese log, and a printer.  Funny thing about the printer - I paid $49.99 for it.  The replacement ink is $58.60.......  I can't really afford a printer, but I am motivated to get to work on a business plan for my new venture!


They had Pluots there, but I didn't buy any.  They were $1.9something a pound.  Maybe next year my Pluot trees will fruit - maybe the year after that.  I'm looking forward to it!!

I love your photo post! Yay :) I love seeing what people buy! I agree on the stupidity with Printers - mine cost me about £24 to buy, yet the ink costs me £32! Why is that I wonder? A little pot of ink can be so expensive, yet the printer which is larger, has electrical components and lot's of plastic, is so cheap? Weird!

I found lots of ink for the model available online for much less, but I wonder about the quality. Also, there is an ink refiller shop in my town - not sure what that's about, but I guess I'm going to need to check it out! :)
