throw another bear in the canoe

Many things have occurred in the last two days. Phred has had his Windows washed, and everything reinstalled; Ethel is getting the same treatment. I have 200 gigs of free space divided between the various HDs now. Wooo! Man, I remember when a computer with a lot of storage had a tape drive.... cassette tape, that is.

I suspect I will be buying a Honda soon. Possibly one born this millennium, as I am really just waiting on the garage getting around to telling me that Eunice is officially DNR.

I hope I can find one that's not silver or gold. It seems as if nearly all Hondas are silver or gold...

In other news, netcurmudgeon and ashacat and evynrude and I did a very little hiking today, the first, super-easy dry run in Project Kilimanjaro. Species noted include Solomon's seal, asters, shagbark hickory, eastern newt efts, a brown-hooded owlet caterpillar (eating the asters), an eastern cottontail wabbit, and a baby milksnake that ashacat rescued from the cement stairwell of Heublein Tower, where it had somehow gotten stranded.

netcurmudgeon has some  photos of the mountain (pretty), the rest of the gang (charming), and one or two including me (at my least attractive) up over here,
