Cleaning Out the Garage

After a busy late week and weekend, we're back to do a quick post then head off to appointments.

Today, we're talking about Cleaning Out the Garage.  Tips and How to.  This can be a bit complicated due to a combination of junk, hazardous waste/materials, and things that tug on your heart strings.  Keep the Garage Door(s) open.  Its not only a good idea to air it out, but also gives a place for the dust to travel to instead of resettling in the garage making for more cleaning headaches later.  This also helps so you are not constantly breathing in the concentrated particles of whatever is floating around in the garage whether it be gas/oil fumes, or dust particulates to induce sneezing.  Starting on one wall and moving around after completing it can make the process go easier and make it look like progress is being made.  Throw away or recycle what needs to be, and give to charity what is in good condition but no longer need.  After sweeping and dusting, if you have shelves or tool areas organize those.  Arrange and group cans of paint, insecticide, and fertilizer by their counterparts for easy access.  Keep tools and loose screws, nuts, bolts, and nails in their respective containers so they don't possibly make their way under car tires next time you pull into the garage.  Hanging large tools such as weed-eaters, hedge clippers, and edgers on garage or shed walls instead of keeping them piled in the corner can help by keeping yourself from tripping over them and also keep clean a hidden area for insects such as roaches and spiders to gather.  These are just a few tips, but remember a happy garage is organized and able to fit your vehicle.

Today's Tidbit:  It seems everyone has taken advantage of the dryness and rising temperatures to get out and plant their gardens after what seemed weeks of heavy rain and cooler weather.  The Mother's Day Monday in particular was the first day everyone went out to garden.

Huntsville Pollen & Poltergeists (Hunters)

Today we decided to go with a simple post of the local annual tradition of exploding flowers providing a yellow haze and three locals from Huntsville find themselves on TV's SyFy (aka SciFi) Channel's newest series Deep South Paranormal.

Sneezing, aching, headaches, itching and watering eyes and those flowers that produce it.  Yes it is Spring once again in Huntsville and the pollen is flowing like honey.  With how much of the yellow haze is floating about you would think that its being put into the atmosphere by the use of Atomic Annie.  The most latest reports from the 2nd and 4th of April show the pollen count to be moderate and low.  Weather experts expect the pollen count to increase into the very high range in the next few weeks.  On TV most meteorologists have stated that we are in a high pollen count for most of this week.

Three of the newest ghost hunters to hit the airwaves are from Huntsville.  They will be starring on the newest SyFy show calling it Deep South Paranormal.  AL.com recently sat down and did an interview with the three natives.  The show is scheduled to begin on April 10th, 9PM.  Check it out and see if it is something you would be interested in.

Today's Tidbit:  Congratulations to the University of Alabama-Huntsville Disc Golf team for competing in the National Club Championships in Georgia.
