Copper Rain Chains

Considering how much time we love to spend outdoors in the back and side yard I thought that I would look into purchasing some rain chains to put out there. Right now they would be a perfect addition since we have been getting a ton of rain. I know how badly we need the rain since we didn’t get much snow this winter and without the snow it definitely makes a difference to the much needed water that we all rely on during the hot summer months. We have had a few summers that we had local mandatory water restrictions put in place by the city and that really sucked.

Anyway I really like the look of some of the garden rain chains that I’ve seen in some people’s properties. I’ve been taking a look around online to see if I can find some copper rain chains since I have been getting into copper these past couple of years and I really like the look of it. So far this one really catches my eye, but I’m going to take my time until I find the perfect one.

Superchargers and Muscle Cars

My boyfriend is a car fanatic, I enjoy his enthusiasm as well, and the old muscle cars of the late 60′s and 70′s are our favorite of all. We have a parade here in town each spring which we always attend, we always enjoy the motorcycle’s, antique cars, fire trucks and muscle cars that are there in the parade each year. The town always is full of these fun modes of transportation the week before, during and the week after the much talked about parade, it is so cool to see them actually being driven on the street and not just riding on the parade route.

My boyfriend would love to get his 69 Pontiac GTO up and running, it hasn’t been street ready for some time now and he wants to have it looking and running sharp, with a new Pontiac supercharger all wrapped up in an effort to be in the parade sometime in the next year or so. That would be cool.

With modern technology, superchargers and turbo chargers have become a very high tech component and he wants to make sure that he gets the best possible deal and quality supercharger for his money.

Searching Made Easy Online

Gotta love how easy it is to find things on the Internet, just a few key strokes into the Google search engine, such as “fender amps guitar center” and badda boom, badda bing, insto presto it came up with the perfect fender amps that I am looking into purchasing my my nephew for his up and coming graduation party. Sure beats the heck out of running from store to store, or worse yet using the old paper version of the Yellow Pages. I haven’t used the Yellow Pages in years, as soon as I was finds it’s way to my house it goes straight into the Recycling bin that the city provides us all with.

Post Card Secrets

Many years ago I stumbled onto an interesting website called PostCardSecrets.com where they have people send in their secrets on Post Cards and they in turn publish and share them on their site. Today I found this video there that I though appropriate to post here since it is the Memorial Day Weekend and it’s all about our Vets. You can also find it on YouTube.com
