First:  quick update on my car.  The wannabe pimp guy actually fixed it!  And for free!

Second:  Sat. am. Todd, Dub (my grandma) and I went to W. Va. to visit my uncle and his gf. in their newly built log cabin that they completely built themselves.  When I say they built it themselves - I mean - REALLY built it themselves.  To the point of actually chopping down the trees themselves that were used to build it.  Amazing.  They also cut down the trees that needed to be removed to build their driveway; built the cabin with the help of 2 other people after stripping the logs themselves; did the electricity, foundation, roof, windows, EVERYTHING.  The coolest part to me was the fact that they don’t have water piped into the house.  They have this huge cistern that collects RAIN WATER!  I was completely amazed and made uncle Mark show me the water inside of it as well as trace the piping from it all the way to the reverse osmosis filter for the drinking water.  I was so impressed with everything.  My uncle Mark and ‘aunt’ Dorothy are 2 of the most incredible people you will ever meet.
