Weekend Projects

Mark had three weekend projects:

1. Wi-Fi: He made it possible for our portable devices to access the internet wherever we are in the house.  This wasn't easy!  Now I can download books to my Kindle anywhere (that's the only portable device we own).
A good big brother teaches...
2. Washing machine: it started malfunctioning again.  We ordered the new part, but the machine started working again after we took the auto load sensor off and put it back on.  So whatever.  We'll have the auto load sensor as a back up until the the first one fails again.  I also mixed up a 10 gallon batch of laundry detergent-now that's satisfying and cheap!  I can't even calculated the per load cost!
...how to be a good big brother!
3. Weight Watcher Roosters: you burn more calories butchering these than you get from consuming them.  Our rooster flock is four less (good bye Lunch Meat, Biter 1, Biter 2, and Furno).  Fiona and Daniel crack me up; they have no idea that giblet eating could be gross (it is).  They each ate an entire heart (cooked), right off the cutting board.  Chomp, chomp!  They followed it with liver and gizzard.  Grandad would be so proud!
Guess which one named the roosters?
4. Winterizing: we cleaned the gardens up a bit and set the chickens loose to eat the rest of the greens.  We're already dreaming about what we are going to plant next spring.  Mark is also mowing around his baby trees and dreaming about which trees to plant!

Sunny Sundays are the best!
