Toys

My wife calls them "toys," but I like to refer to them as "smart tools." It all started with the chain saw to help clear the land some three years ago.The list goes on, so I will not bore you with details, but I will say nothing is more exciting than the new "toy" I am looking at getting. There is a water conservation shop about 10 miles from my house, and as usual, I am looking out the window as I drive by the store on my way to work, but on Friday, I actually stopped at the store. After about 30 min. talking with the owner, I realized it would be a great investment. There were about four or five alternatives, but it seems like two 500 gallon above ground tanks will work perfectly. The real excitement comes from not having to convince the wife with a bunch of "If we had this ..." or "You know we could do this if ...." She thought is was a great idea as well, and she even thought we should get some for the house. So, I am glad to say that we are saving to get "our new toys" this spring. Hopefully, this will save time when it comes to keeping everything watered ... hard to explain, but our land is about 300 feet down the mountain, and we don't have water access, so we have been carrying water, as well as doing "rain dances" every other day. "Smart tools" the only way stay efficient!
