Coffee Filters-Myth Buster

 

I read a few weeks ago that using coffee filters to clean glass will leave the glass streak free. Lately I have noticed how every time I wipe anything glass off there are streaks all over. When I was growing up we used newspaper to clean the glass and it worked like a charm, however Austin and I do not receive the paper. I decided to try the coffee filters approach.

I sprayed the glass with Windex Multi Surface (my new favorite product).

Wiped down with the coffee filter and WHA LA. No streaks.

Myth no more.

Biker Man

Austin put his motorcycle up for sale last week. It has some "problems" and wasn't running. He decided he was ready to sell it and find a new style bike so he put an ad up on Craigslist completely explaining the problem and how to fix it. He asked a very low price since it needed some work. 

All week he had plenty of calls from interested guys, only problem was when they came to look at the bike the first question they ALL asked was, "does everything work?" Of course not, did you not read the ad? 

Finally fed up with nobody wanting to put any work into the bike Austin worked on fixing the problem himself. After a few hours he found out how to fix it and make it run. He ended up spending under $100 for the fix and can now sell it for $600 more than he was asking, which makes me a lot happier.

In My Yard.......

For lack of anything better to do, I wondered around my yard last night (feel free to call me a dork). I found some pretty interesting things I never noticed before along with some of my favorite parts on my backyard.

My favorite things included:

This old bench. I love having a swinging bench in our yard, even if it is older than I am

Our tiki torches. When ever it is not blistering hot out we like to light them up and sit outside

Clothes Line. Always love to hang clothes out and get the fresh sunshine smell. Austin, however, hates the smell :(

New Findings.... This plastic turtle. I remember it when we moved in. Austin loved it, thought it was the coolest thing. I had completely forgotten about it.

Two rusty, old paint cans were tucked far away in the corner of our yard.

A wooden wind chime hangs from our shed. A neat little decoration.

A sun.... plaque? I am not sure what to label this but it adds a little something to our small fence along the porch.

And finally this guy. He hopped right in front of me and almost made me pee my pants. Austin said he has hung out by the shed, in the same spot since we moved in.

Beautiful Outdoors

While the weather was cooler this afternoon and I was feeling photo-y, I took some pictures of the flowers we randomly have growing in our backyard. Aren't they beautiful?

Emily and Roela

This morning I was able to take some photos of my sister and her friend Roela. It was nice to get two beautiful models to help me with my photography and editing.

Happy Friday

May your weekend be as relaxing and carefree as Rockie's everyday!

Relaxation

It has been a long and HOT past few weeks at work. The temperatures in the warehouse have reached 110 + each day. This makes for a tedious 7 hours of work. On the weekends I like to stay inside and cool as much as possible. The ultimate relaxation would be a Saturday massage but that doesn't fit into my budget very well so my mom and I like to get pedis in the morning. Its nice to sit and relax while chit chatting with my mom.

Saturdays are my favorite!
