    The challenge is going pretty good - hardest part for me is remembering to check in and record actions.

    Water conservation is front of mind and I'm finding that the  3 minute shower and turning the faucet off while brushing teeth has spilled over, no pun intended, to the kitchen sink:
    •   grey water can be saved and used  for rinsing dishes.
    • Non empty Water glasses and bottles can be used to water house plantS instead of pouring down the drain

    Friday night and Saturday night, I was 100 percent successful with this challenge, but on Sunday I heard the familiar "ping" hit my in-box and I checked only to find it was a suspected MAP violation forwarded to Bill by Spencer. Thanks a lot Spencer! You should stick to fishing on the weekend.

    We picked up a box of beef from a nearby farmer that my son knows. Can't wait to have some cheeseburgers!
