zoar valley

We went to Zoar Valley yesterday fpor the afternoon. It was nice but the water was way too low to raft, we forgot our water shoes and my allergies were insane because I had ran out of claritin. Other than that it was awesome.

Here is (e:Terry) at the confluence

People have build this giant rock tower on the far side of the island. This is the biggest one of these structure I have ever seen.

On the way home we got pulled over which was strange because we were not speeding. I wrote the following quote while it was happening in case we got dragged off to jail

We are being pulled over by the police near the jail in gowanda on the way home from Zoar Valley.

We couldn't figure out why they were tailing us. The police pulled up alongside us on the wrong side of the road and drove parallel to us for a bit before pulling us over.

Turns out we matched the described of someone they are hunting for.

We are free now!



After that we went to red lobster in the McKinley Mall. It was the first time I got to use the GPS on the iphone which is pretty greta. We were sucessfully able to travel 28 miles and go through 2 detours. Once i even saved us when were turned totally the wrong way.

That suburb byt he mall is bumping with businesses. It kind of makes amherst look old and lame. If I was to move to a suburb it would be on that side of downtown.

After a busy weekend of eating an exercise, I now weigh 155 without clothes for the first tim ever.

Dave Talks!

We went to go see edge at ECMC today and he talks. Despite being pretty smashed up he was in good spirits and was able to extol the wonders of delaudid.

Here is a pic from ECMC 7th floor looking toward downtown. It is a view of the city you don't get to see much of.

Weird double booking at miss kittys

Somehow it was rave/leather night at miss kittys. It sounded like best
of rave 1997, LOL. Performed in assless chaps.

P.S. I was not wearing them.

What is this about?

I decided to go to the gym to excercise and sauna and see if it would
get rid if my migraine, so far so good.

Saw (e:James) and made possible dancing plans depending on the headache.

On the way home I saw this pile if random stuff. Records, an army
canteen and shoes. What is it about?
image

P.S. (e:James) - that was the grocest banana I ever saw someone eat. You just swallowed it whole with total disregard fir the blackness of it, yuk, LOL.

Yummy, yum, pork

I love the grill and I love organic pork chops with home grown
rosemary. I wish I could use the grill in the winter too. Maybe I
should build a grill hut.

Diesel Power at Twentieth Century Club

The Twentieth Century club - I can't find their real site if they have one - has been using a really loud and obnoxious diesel generator to power something at their club for over a month now. My friend (e:holly) once said it was some women's society but really I have don't know the details. They are located on Deleware around the 590s and have another entrance in the back on Franklin across from Fugazi. Here are some pics of the property from google maps to give you an idea.

This is the front entrance on Delaware
image

The back entrance I am about to talk about
image

So for like the last month they have had a huge diesel guzzling power generator running 24/7 in their driveway on Franklin.

image

I can't understand what they can't fix that requires constant diesel based power generation. One day, a weekend, even a week, okay but when it stretches to a month and more you have to wonder what the heck is going on. While the machine uses some form of noise reduction, I would be livid if it was my neighbor.

Imagine, in the summer with your windows open next to a giant SUV sized diesel generator. I also think it trashes up the neighborhood and find it surprising that a club that has such a beautiful building and grounds is okay with this running all the time. Its probably to power air conditioning, lol (e:zobar,45203) If it is that I thinki it should be illegal to to make that much noise on an extended basis.

It seems so environmentally unfriendly.

At least they should really be required to bring it into the walled property which you can see the gate of right in front of the diesel generator.

Gutters


Who would have thought so much crap could get in gutters. I think
broken mortar crumbles plus moss = dirt.

Mortar - Repointing my parents chimney

I convinced my father to go with the real stuff for his chimney! No color mixing they only need sand color. The bag was $4.25 for 60 lbs of mortar mix. It was so cheap we bought that one even though we only needed like 20lbs. Smaller portions cost about 3 times as much, lol.
image

This is what we were going to use at like ~$10 per tube but I talked him out of.
image

Here it is after beign repointed. I wish I had a picture of before but my hands were so dirty from mixing mortar. It basically had no mortar in lots of parts and crumbly mortar in others.

image

As a reward I got dinner which included yummy fish.
image

And my favorite food in the world - seafood salad - which is clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari rings, and legs which green pepper and celery.

Getting Buffer

I wish I could gain more than a pound or two a week. I want to be 160 so bad. So far I have put one month of gym 5 days a week for about an hour. Right now I am 152 and minus all traces of fat. Unfortunately, that means 160 will not longer be summer time. Now I know why people want steroids, lol.

image

I guess I am so busy I cannot put the phone down. I was scheuling with my mother to go work on my parents mortar problem this evening. My father insists on using some sort of plastic/rubber based mortor for the chimney. His neighbor started the trend. I wish I could just be using the normal stuff like we did at my house.
