Terry's throbbing neck


(e:Terry) was falling asleep on the couch yesterday and head in a weird position. It made the veins in his neck pulse in the craziest way. Maybe he just has a really strong heart. (e:Paul) took a video.

Mobile Containment Unit


I saw this in the hall way at work this morning. I have to hope its only a test and Ebola hasn't hit Buffalo.

Beides that I got to get up at 7 am today, and helped demo the appointment reminder system (e:Paul) and I have worked on to a bunch of doctors and directors today. They all seemed very happy with our work on it and I was able to answer any questions they had. It really felt awesome to have work that goes some where.

Sock suspenders and birthday dinners

We headed over to (e:Paul)'s parents for another delicious dinner.

Paul's stylish beard ribbon. And his grandfather's old sock suspenders. He's ready to start the next trend.

Birthday boys

We also played Catchphrase. It's actually a board game I liked, but maybe it's because Maria and I were always on the winning team.

Brick city at RIT

On the way back from Jabe we stopped at RIT to have dinner with my brother and Masumi in Rochester.

RIT is cool in the nerd school sense but it's one of the ugliest and most suburban campuses I've ever seen. I am glad I went to school in a city at least.
image

The Indian buffet we went to, Raj Mahal was amazing. I could eat Indian food all day.

Daniel told us about this new app called Yik Yak. It's a location based gossip app for colleges, where you can anonymously post things to people around you. It reminded me of JuicyCampus. It also made me feel old.

The rest of the week

I have never had such a relaxing and fun week. It was hard to leave by the end.

image
(e:paul) the holzjaeger
image
So much book reading, we could have started a book club. I had a terrible German romance novel to read
image
We ate well - Terry cooked a lot of delicious food
image
Some served with toasted buns
image
And I made a lot of quesadillas
image
Amazing water and beautiful views. I've never swam so much in a week. Paul and I swam to almost every island in a little over an hour.
image
And a lot of naps
image
Canoeing and kayaking around the lake - I felt beastly by the end
image
Fires every night
image
I think this is an appropriate tag for a Suburban
image
I can't wait to go back.

Jabe Wildlife Resort

I think I put my engineering education to its most practical use yet. I built a resort for minnows and other wildlife on the campsite beach.
It was in a beautiful location - spoiled by its first condo.
image

(e:yesthatcasey) served as landscape architect and (e:terry) was the union contractor.

The foundation were the larger rocks, which I then filled the gaps between with smaller gravel and then sand. It helped stop erosion from wave action on the outside.

Terry helped out by catching some minnows, and I got a newt. But then I felt cruel for keeping them in the dirty water, so I built an exit canal for them.

The sand ended up washing away slowly with the wind, but the rocks held steady. I think I should keep my day job.

Happy birthday Terry

On Thursday we got to celebrate (e:Terry)'s birthday at the campsite. (e:Paul) and I went into Ticonderoga and searched for a cake. No luck, but we found a delicious cherry pie and were able to gift shop right from our phones.

Happy birthday Terry. I love you. Here's to another amazing year.

Climbing Whiteface mountain

Well climbing a small part. We got up most of the way by driving up the windiest and steepest road I've been on.

image

image

image

image
You drive through a small castle to get to the lot. In that lot there is a bike rack. I think I'd die on this kind of hill. But I want to meet the guy who could.

image

image
Then there is an elevator and a rocky trail up to the peak. Its another kind of view to enjoy.

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image
The top of the mountain was absolutely insane. I've never been so high up. You could see from Vermont all the way to Lake Placid.

One set of parents let their kids play over a shear cliff.
image

image

image

image

image

image
There was a weather station running Linux in the castle on top.image

image
The cute boys had something to do with exploring the mountain. I can't remember what though.

On the way down we took an elevator through the mountain, and a long tunnel out to the lot. The fact they built this in 1920s is pretty impressive but weird. Why an elevator?image
