I received an email last week from Garden Gate Magazine saying that they were going to use one of my TIPS for their website and magazine. Plus they asked if I had any plans on making an iPhone app for my idea. I said I had no plans so they MIGHT look into making an app out of MY idea!
My tip was this spreadsheet showing the bloom times for all the plants in my yard. Big red "X" means full bloom and the other "X"s are just smaller blooming times.
I just looked and I get $25 big ones for having a tip used in their magazine. I think Garden Gate is the best mag for the money on gardens. No advertisements, all photos and words with actual flowers you can buy . . unlike some magazines with nothing but wonderful Zone 9 gardens.
Now I'm making my spreadsheet clickable so when I don't have a clue what a certain plant is I can click on it and a photo will appear.

Then I got a call Thursday from the owners of the Trails End Supper Club in Portage. Seems a year ago I agreed to display some artwork for two months in their restaurant. OH YEA!! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT! So now I need 18 pieces to display.
Not a big problem - just some minor logistics I have to work through and a good number of frames to purchase. It's not like I don't have enough images - just not 18 of the same size! I'll be going up Tuesday night to get a good look at the place and figure out what I need to have.
Also I was accepted into the Syttende Mai Arts and Crafts Fair May 14th. Yea - it has the word "crafts" in it but I was told by a person that loves my work that I needed to go there, it's a good one. Always open to suggestions so we shall see. I'll be on the north side of the Community Building facing north, not sure if that is good or bad. Maybe in May it's bad. hmmmmm

So DJ buys a comforter and needs to wash it once before it goes on the bed. Our old washer is not big enough so for the first time in like 20 years she goes to a laundermat and spends $4 to wash it.
She gets home for some more laundry and guess what! Our washer no longer works! COME ON MAN!!
On a side note Elwoods brand new TV which he purchased for $150 eighteen months ago - died! It's not like he gets $150 to splurge and when he spends that much money you would think it would last longer the 1.5 years! I'm trying to see what I can do - we brought it up to Columbus but he put it somewhere where I can't find it LOL
We worked on the yard all day yesterday and as we were about to leave I got a 6-pack holder and put six bottles in it. Went to hand it to him and the bottom fell out! F*CK!!! beer everywhere! GOOD BEER EVERY WHERE! Why could that not have been Miller 64.
Speaking of Miller 64 - it is rated a solid "D" in Beer Advocate. Here is one review
"Unfortunately this is about as bad as it gets for a light beer. Tastes like a seltzer water mixed with MGD...about 98 percent seltzer water and 2% MGD....just a real nasty charged up water feel to it...pours an excessive white head...very watery flavor and feel....this is bad....I've seriously had NA beers with more taste...seriously....It has no beer taste whatsoever..
Personally I think it needs at least 5 more calories to add some flavor and then they could call it Miller Genuine Draft 69...then they'd be on to something."

Anyone looking for Brewer thoughts (except today) go to my other sports blog (Grinders Warehouse)where I have vowed to bet on or against the Brewers every game this year.
After yesterdays win I'm 6 & 4, +2.465 units! I'm 3-2 betting ON the Brewers and 3-2 betting against the Brewers. Brewers play the Pirates next in Pitts.
Have a nice Monday!
