I Got My Garden Started This Morning

-

It's way too early to plant anything outside but I figured there was no harm in picking up some packets of seeds and bag of potting soil so I could get a start on things. 

I am doing something a bit different this year. Instead of throwing them in the recycle bin, I've been saving my Mega Buddy drink cups from Kwik Trip and put the seedling pots inside of them. I am hoping they'll both keep the water from getting all over the place and serve as mini greenhouses if I cover the tops.


I have cherry tomatoes and spinach to start. I might add some other vegetables later, once I have more cups.

Review of Arctic King 5000 BTU Window Air Conditioner

-

I manage to avoid using an air conditioner until this past weekend, when the temps were in the 90s, it was extremely humid and very uncomfortable. However, after digging our portable air conditioner out of the shed and getting it going, we discovered it developed a leak over the winter. While this is something we can probably fix, my wife and I weren't in the mood to mess with it right now and, because we also didn't want water all over our living room floor, I decided to just purchase a cheap window AC unit instead and picked up this air conditioner at Wal-mart yesterday morning. My primary reason for purchasing this air conditioner was the $116 price tag, which was about $30 less than the next most affordable choice. Since we are on a bit of a tight budget during the summer, I was trying to spend as little as possible and, because of that, there really weren't any other serious factors that weighed into that decision. I did have two big concerns about this air co...

Synopsis: A group of scientists smuggle a woman infected with a reanimating virus onboard a plane from Los Angeles to Paris. Strong turbulence results in her being freed and she soon begins spreading the virus, turning passengers and crew into zombies.  Who's in it? The movie stars David Chisum , Kristen Kerr , Richard Tyson , Kevin J. O'Connor and Erick Avari. Review: I was in the mood for a movie last night and after some searching, came across Flight of the Living Dead on Amazon Prime Video. It had been a while since my wife and I watched a zombie movie so; after scrolling through a few more options, we decided to give it a try. I didn't have a whole lot of expectations for this film. This was both because of the plot and because I didn't recognize any of the actors or actresses. However, after seeing the movie, I do have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The plot itself requires some suspension of disbelief and not asking too many questions. For example, I foun...

Synopsis: Mike Roark, the head of the Los Angeles Office of Emergency Management, has his vacation cut short when an earthquake triggers a volcanic eruption in the city. With no time to evacuate, Roark must find a way to stop or divert the steady stream of lava flowing freely through the city streets and the subway tunnels before thousands of people are killed. Who's in it? The movie stars Tommy Lee Jones , Anne Heche , Gaby Hoffmann, Don Cheadle , Jacqueline Kim and John Corbett. Review : I had an opportunity to watch Volcano again yesterday evening and, mostly because there wasn’t much else on at the time, I did just that. I had been a while since I had seen this particular film, and I didn’t remember that much about it other than not liking it as much as Dante's Peak . After re-watching it, I decided it was better than I recalled. I think if there is anything that makes this movie watchable, it is Tommy Lee Jones. He is an actor who is always at his strongest when playing...
