Of course our first thought when we saw the storage pod was "cat pod!" So far only Smoke has actually gotten into it, although several cats have stuck their head in to check it out like Panda is doing here. We'll see if they like it, otherwise we may have to use it as a storage pod...

CUUH UPDATE

Joe worked on the reel mower we got last week and got it running! Here is a short video of the test mow when he was done:


The mower is quiet and seems to do a good job. Joe claims it is a real "money pit" after spending $8 on an oil change and a new belt (+ the $4 he paid for the mower)--and it could still use a new air filter, spark plug and tires!!
