Seed Powder O’Keefe Ranch’s opening weekend was a hit. More than 1,200 people checked out the historic site Sunday, marking the beginning of the 2008 season. “It was wonderful to see so many families having a great time at O’Keefe Ranch,” said Marilyn Berglund, marketing manager. “People were pretty much from the local area.” The general store experienced a record-breaking day as visitors enjoyed heritage candies and treats. “Our saddle maker and potter offered demonstrations and of course Mrs. Schubert was in her home spinning and weaving for our guests,” said Berglund. A highlight of the day was the dedication of the new Deep Creek bridge. Gorman Bros. donated lumber and manpower for the bridge that was built early this spring. Also contributing significantly to the project were the Pioneer Power Club and Bosworth Trucking. “Our next big event will be Mother’s Day when all mothers are welcomed free,” said Berglund. “But, come out before then to see newborn lambs and piglets. There is always something fun going on here at the ranch.”

And with spring comes the annual work of spring cleaning. If you're tired of it already, here are some ways from Woman's Day magazine to lessen the time you spend cleaning each week: 1. Clean one shelf at a time: When a refrigerator shelf is nearly empty, take it out to clean in the sink. You could save nearly 30 minutes by cleaning one shelf at a time. 2. Recyle those socks as dust rags: Use old cotton socks on both hands instead of a dust rag. 3. Use an extension cord on your vacuum: Keep a long extension cord on the vacuum so there is no need to unplug and plug. 4. Coat your shower door with baby oil: Put a thin layer of baby oil on a clean shower door to repel water and mineral deposits. Eliminates scrubbing later.

Tag: Cord With Plug As simple or as complex as you like - a trickle charger that'll save you having a flat battery in rarely-driven cars. Lots of car enthusiasts have more than one car. The kept-mostly-in-the-garage car might be a full-on show car, it might be a classic of yesteryear, or it might simply be a car that you drive rarely. In this household – three cars and two people – the rarely driven car is my turbo Maxima V6. In the lucky event that I have a sequence of new cars to test, poor old Max might be driven only a few times in a month - and then mostly on short trips to the post office. The outcome is that more often than not, it’s got a flat battery. And that’s with a near-new battery in the battery box in the boot! I’ve already got a battery charger but it’s not really the kind of thing I want to leave connected semi-permanently. For one it’s a mains-powered charger with short battery leads – and often the Maxima is parked outside. And outside weather and 240V battery chargers don’t really go together well. Secondly, I often have another requirement for that battery charger, and so I don’t want it tied up semi-permanently on the Maxima. And finally – and it sounds trivial - but I have a healthy respect for the hydrogen gas released during battery charging and I always feel a bit vulnerable pulling on and off those bare alligator clips – especially when the charger doesn’t have an on/off switch on its main body. Maybe some of these things apply to you as well. So what was needed was a low-cost trickle charger, one that could be left connected for long periods to just keep the battery topped-up. (A trickle charger is not the sort that you connect when you want to boost a flat battery into life in a few hours; nope, it’s the type that is connected for a few days or more at a time.) It would be good if it had a long low voltage lead and a readily accessible on/off switch. A quick and easy connection method to the car would also facilitate its use.
