The tradition continues...

A long standing McNeil tradition is to not pay excessive amounts of money for lawnmowers. I'm happy to say the tradition continues today. With about $30 in tune-up materials I successfully resurrected the old lawnmower the previous tenants of our house left in the woods. I'll put up some pictures tomorrow, but it was actually a pretty sweet little Briggs and Straton mower underneath the grime, rusted out blade, burned out spark plug, and oil like tar.

Hooray for fixing things!

New car!!!

We got a new car!!! for me!!!

It's gorgeous - it's a silver 2007 Impreza. I love it. It is wonderful. And fast. And is in perfect condition, with low mileage (and can pass inspection in VA). And I love it. Did I mention that I love it? It's a hatchback, gets pretty good gas mileage, and has plenty of room for the critters in it. Yaaaaaaaay. It's super fun to drive too. I'm calling it the Silver.

A pic from the website...


I will miss my Raisin... still not sure what to do with it...

Gemini is clearly living a difficult life


We were away this weekend, and a friend from the SCBI was house-sitting for the fuzzies. She got this classic shot while she was studying...
