Just chillin' inside today...

Well, yesterday, we tore down the kids' frame pool that we had up. It was just a $100 pool that we got on sale at the beginning of last summer. Long story short, I broke the filter and the pool got a leak. I guess they're not really made for the long term. Anyway, I convinced my husband to let me keep the entire frame setup for it to use as a big outdoor playpen for chicks next spring. All I have to do is pick up a roll of chicken wire to zip tie around it and some bird netting to put over the top. They'll be able to go out on the grass and play with plenty of room. The pool was 14 ft in diameter and 4 ft deep so that will give them just over 150 sq ft of playroom and lots of heads pace to practice flying as the get bigger. In my mind, a wonderful way to recycleWe also saved the pump to the filter to use for hydroponics

Brian passed in April (OMG! Lmp, my b-i-l passed in April after getting the flu). Josh will be 14 in one week. He passed out today, and the doctors say that it is his heart. Here he is after his EKG.![]()
Glad that he's okay!

There is a condition that some have ..if you get up too fast, bend over too long, doesn't even have to be long...that sort of thing...when you do this, your blood pressure doesn't equalize itself out correctly or fast enough and you can get very light headed or in extreme cases, pass out...
i can not for the life of me think of what it is called...sorry...anyway, not saying this is his issue...just throwing something out there.
Why am I even talking about it then?..right?!..
don't know, just popped into me little head,...only because when i had all my heart stuff checked out, this was one of the issues we were addressing....
so, I am very glad to hear his testing came back normal!!...hopefully he just had some episode that will never arise again.
