One of my good friends, Spencer, is doing a lot of yard work and asked me to help him out this weekend. He has helped me a lot in the past, so I just couldn’t say no. I believe that friendship is a two way street. If someone helps you out, then you have an obligation to help them when they need it from you. So, I’ll be playing in the dirt at Spencer’s house this weekend. Stop by and bring us some cold drinks, will ya?

Loose Keys
Does everyone have a drawer in the kitchen with loose keys and other assorted odds and ends? Every house I live in seems to have a kitchen drawer like that. There’s just no escaping from a junk drawer.
I have a handful of keys from the junk drawer and I’m reluctant to throw them out but I really have no idea what they go to and why I have them. They don’t seem to match any of the keys on the key ring that I carry. But as soon as I throw out the mystery keys you can bet that I’ll have an urgent need for one of them!
Barn home
A very good friend of my wife is building a horse barn for her horses that she shows and an apartment over the barn for her to live in and she has run into a lot of problems with the plumbing. She is going to need a good Dallas Plumber to help fix her water problems and make her apartment and for that matter the barn for the horses live able. I was looking to help her find a great plumber and I found a great web site with a lot of very useful information and a complete listing of local Dallas plumbers. I hope the site I have found will help Karen find the plumber that she needs.
Gift for my kids
As a gift to my children we have purchased a large salt water tank for fish and this weekend we will be getting the salt water fish to put in the tank. The search for affordable salt water fish has taken us all over Nashville and now we are looking online to find some salt water fish for our tank that we can afford. The very best priced salt water fish that we have found are located at Reef Hot Spot they have a great web site and fish that are very affordable for all sizes of salt water tanks. What we have been looking for is a blue spot jawfish for our tank.
Reef Hot Spot has a great web site located at http://www.reefhotspot.com there they have a great selection of exotic sat water fish and so much information of all kinds of sat water sea life. I have never had a salt water tank and I am really looking forward to seeing all the colors in the tank and just simply watching the salt water fish swim in the tank. The children are very excited to get some fish in the salt water tank and I am pleased that we found Reef Hot Spot to locate the fish we had been searching for and unable to find here in Nashville.
Coyotes
With the metro area expanding deeper into the farmlands and woodlands, encroaching on wildlife is starting to affect the new neighborhoods. Deer are often seen in people’s backyards and alongside the subdivision streets. At night I often see a red fox scampering across a yard. Next door has trouble with a large raccoon getting into her trash cans at night. And now the people in the big gated communities and large estates are having problems with coyotes. Although coyotes do not attack humans, they do kill pets and will attack cats and dogs even in broad daylight with a human present. So we are going to have to find a way to reduce the coyote population. Killing cats and dogs is just not going to be tolerated.
