Digital Tire Pressure Gauge



Most people know that keeping your car and tires in good condition help keep you safe and save money on gas.

No everyone has vehicles that have a internal tire gauge. To be honest when you are putting air in your tires it takes a while for the new numbers to get to the internal computer readout in the vehicle which means you might over inflate your tires.

Having a Tire Gauge saves you from over inflating , and also knowing when to add air to your tires, as well as checking on air pressure while adding air.

This Digital Tire Gauge is easy to use, ready to use in minutes.

You can find this Digital Tire Pressure Gauge on Amazon.

SAVE MONEY AT THE PUMP

Everyone knows fuel efficiency can be greatly limited by incorrect tire pressure. Having your tires properly inflated will optimize your fuel economy. Keep more money in your wallet by using this handy tool regularly.

LATEST ERGONOMIC DESIGN

This Digital Tire Gauge was made to fit perfectly in your hand. Taking care of your vehicle has never been easier and more comfortable.

SAFER DRIVING CONDITIONS

Under inflated tires are one of the leading causes of blowouts. If your pressure is low, too much of the tires surface area comes in contact with the ground, causing heavy friction which puts added stress on your tires, increasing the chance of a blowout. Protect yourself now and keep it inflated at all times.

POCKET-SIZED FOR EASY STORING

You can put this device anywhere. Whether in your glove box, or your backpack, you will always have it with you when you need it without being in the way.

INCREASE THE LIFE OF YOUR TIRES

Tires are expensive. Save cash by prolonging their life and stop uneven tread wear by always having the correct air pressure for your vehicles specifications.

Paint for Peace




MarksvilleandMe reviews
Painting For Peace in Ferguson
by
Carol Swartout Klein

To be quite honest when I first received this book I had no idea what it was about other then it was for children and very colorful. We have been TV free going on 11 years now so if it doesn't hit social media or someone tells us about it we generally don't know what is going on. Why? 9/11 did that for us. Children saw too many news broad casts about something that was even hard for adults to take in. I still disagree with the way they show it each year in the schools.

At a time when our nation was saddened by 9/11 I was caught up in the death of my Hero my father who died during his sleep of a massive heart attack. He was my rock, my world, things changed after he died and 9/11 didn't faze me at all which is probably one of the reasons I don't like to hear about it.

As for Ferguson in 2014 and again in 2015 I did catch up. A sad thing happened. I had done my video review before putting the 2014 and 2015 happenings together. My apologies for that. I was a little off on the timeline as well, but this book is still awesome. It shows how a community can get together and heal over tragedy.

I do hope that they have again started painting for healing after the 2015 Riots. It had to be scary for everyone all over again. Peace and love can overcome anything. All we need is to band together to make it happen.

This book is super colorful, inspiring, as well as being a lesson to all that young, old, poor, and rich alike can make a difference together.

You can find Painting for Peace in Ferguson here. 100% of proceeds go back to the area affected.


Painting for Peace in Ferguson tells the story of the hundreds of artists and volunteers who worked to transform boarded up windows into works of art with messages of hope, healing and unity in the days after the Aug. 9, 2014, shooting of Michael Brown. The book had its first printing in February 2015. It's second printing is Aug. 1. The book was recognized in May 2015 as one of nine "Outstanding Books of the Year" in the "Peacemaker" category by the Independent Publisher.

All proceeds after printing costs will go to benefit North County youth and art programs as well as the businesses and employees affected by damage or loss of business.

Author Carol Swartout Klein, who sponsored the project and who grew up in the Ferguson area, was inspired by the Mister Rogers quote that reminds children to always look for helpers when scary things happen.

“It occurred to me that if adults are having a hard time processing and talking about the events — how are children coping? We designed this book to be a tool for parents and teachers to begin the conversation. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, it was so inspiring to see people young and old, black and white come together to transform boarded up windows from something intimidating to children into something so positive.”

Centered on a child-friendly poem penned by Klein, the book does not go into the specifics of what caused the unrest, but rather focuses on the way the community came together to begin the healing process through the art of the Paint for Peace effort. “We did not go into detail because we felt it was important for parents to be able to talk about what happened in Ferguson in a way that was age appropriate for their child and that reflects each family’s perspective,” said Klein.

Keep your Hummingbird feeders clean



My mother in law loves Hummingbirds so we usually get her something to do with hummingbirds each year. Sometimes they are feeders, house decor, or even a hummingbird shaped bird house. I don't really know that much about hummingbirds other than they are small, fast, and eat a liquid diet. I didn't know you had to clean the hummingbird feeder a special way, and never really thought about how to clean them until I was given the opportunity to review these hummingbird feeder brushes.

These little brushes look like mascara brushes you would use on your eyes but they work great inside of those little holes inside of a hummingbird feeder. So quick and easy to use and if you take care of them you will be able to use them over and over again.

Check this link out on more information about keeping your Hummingbird feeder clean.

You can find the hummingbird feeder cleaning brushes on Amazon.

These little brushes for cleaning hummingbird feeders are the perfect hummingbird feeder cleaning tools.

After months of sitting outside, your hummingbird feeder can begin to develop mold and dirt in the small holes and tubes. This can keep the birds from feeding properly, and maybe from feeding at all.
