Up & Down . . .

Been very slow around here the past couple weeks.  Practically nothing has happened since it started snowin a couple weeks ago.  

Today has been different.  The temperature is up into the 40's and the snow piles are down . . . melting fairly quick.  Now maybe I can shoot something other than snow piles.  Gas prices were up to 3.15. and today in  Bryan they are down to 2.99 and 2.93 in Defiance.  My income taxes are down.  With a refund here and there and a payment to be made here and there, I think I will come close to breakin even for a change.  Birds at my birdfeeders are down.  Haven't seen any for maybe a week and there is no evidence in the snow of any being there.  Maybe they decided stayin around here for the winter wasn't such a great idea after all.  Slow pays on eBay are up.  I made three sales last Friday and none of them have paid yet.  Can't recall havin 3 slow pays at once.  They have a couple more days to pay or contact me before I am allowed to report them as no pays.  eBay sales the last hour and a half are up.  I've processed three sales and a lady from Canada has purchased 2 sets of cookie cutters so far.  That mean a trip to the post office when she pays.  I was there four times last week.   Ya hafta take packages and international shipments to the post office.  So far I have 5 packages goin out tomorrow.  I think my Monday record is 10.
