Fixed The Dog Fence
We had been waiting to have the driveway paved for about the last 10 days, 5 of which were on vacation up in Errol, New Hampshire at the camp. It's not really a camp, it's a 3 bedroom trailer with all the bells and whistles, t.v., hot showers, full kitchen...you get the idea, plus, some of the best trout fishing in the state. Anyway, the guy's mother is near death (cancer), and he's put everything on hold which is understandable. That being said, we re-dug the trench in the driveway to bury our electric dog fence. Living on a busy road we don't want our dog getting injured by wandering out in the road. It's wasn't too much of a chore but we were happy to get it done.
On the money/bottle front - 39 cents today and 80 bottles and cans. During my 3 mile run today I spotted several cans and bottles all along Stanley road, so after finishing up the run, Michele and I road the course on our bikes and scooped them up. We also picked up one penny on 109 on the way home.
During Michele and Lexi's morning walk, she found 2 cents and a really cool marble. We've been putting them in a jar and as well as superballs which we've also found quite a few of. On the evening walk with the dog we found 1 penny on main street headed south, 8 pennies at the car wash, and a quarter and 2 pennies headed north on main st.
A little side bar on the bottles: I noticed back a couple of months ago that most of the coke bottles have reward codes. Since then, I've been on the lookout for these and entering the codes on their site. So far I'm at 545 points which isn't bad considering each bottle is worth 3 points and the 12 pack containers are worth 10 each. I'll certainly have a ton of points when its time to redeem them and the rewards program has a ton of cool stuff. Just another benefit from collecting the bottles.
Money Totals for 2006 - 109.95
Money Totals since Jan. 2005 - 227.30
Bottle and can totals for 2006 - 6707 - 335.35
Bottle and can totals since Jan. 2005 - 16,729 - 836.45
