The chicken knew spring was coming weeks before the time change. All of a sudden she started popping out an egg a day again. I think the amount of light that they get helps them start egg production. Since the sun is up longer now, she is an egg laying machine.

It has been a week since we returned from Puerto Rico and we are back to the daily grind of working, running errands and doing chores. Britton had to get new brakes because they were really grinding -literally a daily grind 🙂 whenever he was driving. We went to a mechanic to get a price quote and they said $300-600! So Britton said he’d do it himself and save the difference. He just had to get some pads, a part from Honda and have the drums machined/resurfaced. Total cost minus Britton’s time of about two hours work: about $30. It’s astounding how much they overcharge. He also got new tires and we made the final, last, ultimate payment on the car. So now all three of our cars are fully paid for. That will make it easier for us to save money or invest in other things so we can move to PR faster.

Only condition is you must be willing to get dirty
When we came back last weekend we had fried turkey for the first time ever! That was quite the experience. We went over to my parent’s house for the adventure. You take a big vat of boiling oil and dunk a turkey in for about 30 minutes. It was pretty good, kind of like fried chicken. It was a lot quicker to cook and enjoy, but much more dangerous.

We are also getting ready for spring. I think we’ll have to start the seeds for the garden this weekend or next so that they are ready to transplant in April or May. My brother Justin is trying to expand a lawn care and sprinkler business and asked us to help him set up a website. We just started it today but you can check it out at: www.lawnsbydavis.com
