Tour de West Side
The coop has gotten as expensive, if not more, than Wegman's since their own renovation. Or maybe the Farmer's market is just too good. Either way, there wasn't much I wanted to get there.
The burned out Elmwood house has a new roof, and is getting new siding - I can't imagine that really fixes the problem, but at least they're not tearing it down. Maybe they can undo the remuddling.
We tried going to Guercio's to get dandelions for the tortoise. Unfortunately, they were closed.
So we warmed up with a PSL (so basic Paul), chai and egg sandwich at Sweetness 7.
(e:mike) and (e:libertad), your neighborhood looks nice.
Lin Asian market was the first Grant Street store we stopped at. It was small but pretty clean, and still had a lot of good stuff. We got a 5 lb bag of jasmine rice for about $6.
They had egg tofu there - I wanted to try it but it was full of hydrogenated oil.
After we walked across the street to Vineeta International Foods. This store was not the best - it had a lot of rotting vegetables (or durian fruits?), and meats that looked like they had been defrosted a lot. Even Paul didn't want to get anything. Gross.
Frozen fried paneer. I would try it but I didn't trust it. Could probably make it much easier.
Golden Burma - the last stop on Grant Street
They did have this cute hund statue
The garbage on Grant Street was real gross
What's up with this building? The cornice is completely gone and so are the windows. I hope it's not getting razed for another dollar store.
Paul wasn't ready to buy any camel meat
We continued back down on Ferry and then cut over on side streets to Richmond. There was:
West side lawn Mary
and the Italian wrought iron everywhere.
Murrica.
We finished the day at Price Rite and getting some egg sammiches for (e:terry). Definitely got our 10,000 steps in.

Brand new server
Paul and I spent all Saturday building it - we had everything but a new case. So we cannibalized an old one from (e:terry)'s office.
The specs of the new server:
Intel Xeon E3-1271 v3 - 4 cores, 3.6Ghz, 8MB of L3 cache and only a max power usage of 80W.
32GB of ram
2x Samsung 500GB 840 SSDs in software RAID 1
And a giant super quiet heatsink and fan
It's the fastest computer I've ever seen - all the packages Paul was installing on it finished near instantly. Hopefully it'll use way less power than the old mechanical drive server. The new case should be here and ready to go on Tuesday when we move the server and cable service over to the office.

Attic party
First, we met up with (e:yesthatcasey) at Dreamland. Terry and I went to go steal some nachos from Founding Father's, and ran into (e:robert) who joined us.
The attic of the party was an amazing dance floor - definitely something I think we can do here. Really, we just have to stop people from falling through the floor. Plywood up.

Wholesale wine by the Farmer's market
Across the street, we noticed a wholesale wine seller. It's crazy, you can get almost anything wholesale at the food terminals. I remember my mom used to buy 5 pound bags of cheese and restaurant quantities of flour down there.
While doing some googling I found (e:tinypliny,0498)'s post about the market. I wonder how much different the early morning wholesale market is? Maybe if we have a late night, we can go. It seems much easier to go from the 4:30 side.

Cleaning up the porch
Mostly clean now.
I also had to put some of the pumpkins in the compost. My feelings exactly.

Allergy Pride
I saw this sticker on the back of a car on Allen - I realize people have serious allergies but it reminded me of the allergy pride parade in Portlandia.

Google Fit
The weird part is it records the locations of the activity but only shows you a circle containing the beginning and end points. They obviously record the exact location but don't show it. I wonder if its to keep people from being reminded they're tracking themselves 24/7.

A very spoopy Hollaween
I wanted to be a puppy but had nowhere enough time. So I became Michael Phelps. Just add goggles, (e:paul)'s swim suit and ready to go.
Even the Buffalo bike party came and made us a stop on their party tour.
Thanks to everyone who made it out and made it super spoopy.
Sha-nay-nay
All dressed up and ready to go
The basic bitches, Lindsay and Carrie
Chun-Li breaks it down with (e:heidi)
Mark's link twin
Just like the night the pictures get blurrier at the end

Savers thrift store
The only gross part was they were constantly spraying air freshener around the store.
Rudolph is a little scared of (e:paul)
Please help him
Shirts I thought (e:terry) would really like
A cabbage patch kid - Paul reconnected with her
In contrast, we stopped at Michael's before and it was full of brand new garbage. Somewhere in the world, people are producing plastic fruit destined for the landfill.

Is that a 24 oz cup at Sweetness 7?
