Well another work week just about down.  Got one more day then taking a short weekend trip to Wisconsin Dells at a water park.  Our neighbors were going to go with, but he just got laid off yesterday as a printer , there for 11 years, so they had to back out.  Picked up my deer, bear, and coyote capes from the tanner today.  Hopefully will start on that stuff pretty soon.

That trip to the water park sounds cool. too bad about your neighbor's job.

We got home this afternoon from our weekend getaway to the Wisconsin Dells.  Had a fun weekend, but it always seems to short. We rebooked our next years weekend and it seems the raised there rates on us, just can't catch a break.

It's the same all over, Chad. Good to hear you had a nice time.

Well got off work early today.  Worked on the dagobah playset.  Got our fed tax return and paid off the balance on our camper.  Will keep the rest of the refund for a rainy day.  Barb survived another round of layoffs at work.  This was the second round in about 6 months.  Hopefully there isn't a third.

Smart idea paying off any debt! I am doing some small home improvements myself and am wondering if I would be smarter to save some for a rainy day, but a guy has to have his camper! That is just a fun family thing. I do have plans to have a small popout one myself some day. Glad to hear your wife survived the layoff deal that seems to be everywhere now. I saw the mass layoff data on CNN today for February and it was awful.

Yea our pop up trailer is nice, really makes us want to camp more often.  So much nicer then tenting when you get our age.  Did stimulate the economy more on firday.  Went to Home Depot and bought a new cordless weed trimmer. an outdoor plastic storage box for the kids outdoor toys, and a new kitchen faucet that has been leaking.  On a side note anyone have any problems with dishwashers leaving a soapy film on the dishes?  I don't really know what the problem is.  Tried running a cycle with kool aid lemonade, made sure the water softner is full of salt.  Really hate to have to buy a new dishwasher right now.

Have you tried using Jet dry and how old is the dishwasher?
  Nice job stimulating the economy, by the way.

It's a liquid. So your water is pretty soft going through your softener? I used to live in a town where the calcium was so bad that it would trash water using appliances within 2-3 years.

I couldn't really tell you how soft the water is, really don't know how well it works, other then it uses salt.  I think we may have screwed it up installing it, the water softner.  It just seemed to start acting up about a month ago.
