Making a mansion turn green...
We picked out colors today, and then I decided to paint one dormer to test it. We are going with greens. I think it is going to be a long journey but it should be fun and look nice, so long as I don't fall out a window.
It was so hot up there today.
I think the green looks nice. We finished more than this but we couldn't get any more pics because it got dark out.

Blogtoberfest at the Terminal
I barely, venture out to the other blogs but I was totally astounded when we also saw lots of elderly people.
(e:jim) - so many of these bloggers are elderly, that's awesome! it's great things are spreading out through the population!
Slowly, once inside - I realized that it was by no means a blogtoberfest but rather a regular octoberfest. We found the table where (e:zobar) and (e:dragonlady) were waiting. Luckily, I just his chatter on my phone and knew they were there.
So we were pretty much the only bloggers there - either that or we scared all the other ones away. It was (e:metalpeter), (e:mike), (e:libertad), (e:jim), :james, (e:terry), (e:zobar), (e:dragonlady) and I. I met one guy from punaro.com
I am pretty sure that this is the last non estrip, blogging event I will attend until some of the other bloggers attend one of our parties.
As for the octoberfest itself, I was totally disappointed in the food. It sucked. It was like they removed everything good that was german and replaced it polish. It seems to be every buffalo German event is somehow way too polish. I guess Buffalo is just a polish town. We even brought up how you can get pirogies at the Italian Festival now.
Also Steel Drums had jerk chicken there. It just seemed so out of place. I wish that German events ever had more than bland hot dog like sausages and sauerkraut. That is only a fraction of what Germans eat. If you went to a festival in Germany, the food is just so much better.
I am pretty sure that this was my terminal, terminal event. (e:jim) and (e:metalpeter) took lots of pictures.
Other pics from Saturday
The park lane with a sky crane out front. When are they knocking it down?
Someones end the war sign from a lawn over on Lafayette.
(e:matthew) and (e:terry) sitting out front what used to be a giant house and is now a parking lot for the Saturn Club on Linwood.
Another dead squirrel. This one looks like it just fell out of the tree.

Canning Tomatoes
(e:terry) and my mother canned 50 jars of tomatoes on Wednesday. That is a heck of a lot of tomatoes but it means we can have fresh pasta sauce again for the next year. It is amazing how much yummier it is. It looks like lots of work. I missed the actual process though because I was at work.
Here they are looking really happy with their work.
Last night (e:terry) and I went out with (e:libertad), (e:mike), (e:jim), and (e:james). It was a pretty fun evening of eating at Mode (formerly Le Metro) on elmwood and then drinking. We ended it flying a kite down elmwood, I wish I had any pictures but I forgot my camera. One of the hilights was walking down elmwood and having a car full of girls cat call to us, lol.

Fixing (Breakin) Windows
Looks liek the inside of the window panel says XVIIII C, seem slike 1900 which would eb the ryear the house was supposedly built.
After I eft the other window in the living room on the floor so it could not falll and (e:terry) walked on it with his boots on.
This one Holy Hock is the only one that survived the japanese beetle plague. Only on eo fof hundreds, and every flower on it survived, it was also kinda drawf. I should probably save the seeds

I know this is a little pretentious
Thanks to all of you that have listened to my rants along the way. I hope that I at least exposed some people to some new ideas or food or that you at least had fun laughing at me or sharing the horrors and treasures that I uncovered over the last several years.
I needed to port the particle code over to surebert for the snowflakes this winter so I decided to do it today and use it for my balloons. We can use it for other special occasions too.

A Tour of North Street
I do not believe that the hand written note from Gallileo, once of the only ones in the western hemisphere is sitting, unprotected in that empty building that you can just wander around in.
Their guest book seemed rather slim.
I have to say they had the nicest urinals I have probably ever seen. If they ever go out of business I would buy them. In buffalo you can actually wish for that kind of thing and have it be possible, lol.
I really love the Bemis house. I wish someday I could own a house like that one. Also, maybe could be possible in Buffalo.
Can you imagine having those bricks or those gargoyles.
The Mark Twain house was also pretty aweosme. You can't really tell how big it is till you go right up to it, or you see a picture with a person in it.
Look how big that freakin window is!
They are really fixin it up.
Three assholes on North, lol
And then there is this insane remudled house across the street. What the fuck is up with that upside down brick thing in front of the natural doorway. How did anyone decide to do that?
