The pear tree
Despite the wind throwing lots of pear babies on the ground, it looks like we might have the most pears ever. This year I am just doing pots of juice and a pear themed party.

The estrip memorial day BBQ
(e:southernyankee) arrived with an amazing fruit basket complete with mini-bananas, we had a bunch of cakes. Robert and James made delicious salads and some testy orange jello marshmallow suspension. (E:tinypliny) made that cake from (e:tinypliny,48738) which I thought tasted great although I suggested she add bananas next time.
After the BBQ (e:sounthernyanke)e, (e:mike) and I went to Pure to go see Junkie XL The place is set up pretty nice with a large main dance floor bar, a catwalk on a second level overlooking that. There were also some side room VIP style bars.
I don't go out much downtown so maybe its normal but to me it was the most ethnically mixed buffalo moment I ever had. On the dance floor there was seriously every kind of person and they all appeared to be getting along. Arabs, indians (lots of them) asians, white, blacks. The even had a dance off competition that I thought was going to be a fight but ended up being them each taking turns and cheering each other on.

Theatre goers do it in the alleyway
My mom gave me this pin the other day that I had gotten during my
childhood acting stint at the alleyway theater in downtown buffalo.
Does anyone else find it a little creepsterish.

The floor Saga
It all started with this small hint that it was really tile underneith. I started to excavate a bit and then thought I should look online to see if it is asbestos, considering how much vinyl tile is. Then I discovered it was asbestos. I clearly found the exact print in the 1965 Armstrong Excelon vinyl asbestos floor tile catalog
Here it is
First we had to get the toilet up.
I shaved so my mask would fit snugly. Here I am half done.
Then I dressed up in my space suit and covered everything in myspace format.
Then I taped myself in the room so no air could get out.
I learned everything I could about asbestos tile removal and decided to try it myself. It is not that dangerous as it is not very dusty at all. THe vinyl holds the asbestos in and it comes up in chunks. The secret was to use a waster mister and lots of wet newspaper on top while prying it up.
Turned out it made no dust as everything was soaking wet. The problem was the tar under the tiles was so sticky that it made the tiles so hard to remove.
Here I am after I got only a couple tiles up.
I think it is going to take a few weeks to finish. I am going to try tomorrow with dry ice. I here it makes the glue freeze up and let go of the tile.
To make life more fun, there is a drip in the basement going to one of the water spouts outside and it has no shutoff so we before the drip. So basically we have to turn off all the water to fix it, argh.
After I discovered it we ended up using the box to hold it until we can fix it tomorrow.

1) Staying in NYC or some other city for 5 days is costly enough with Just the hotel plus you have to eat
2) Yes doing all kinds of things is fun, but I've none people who are so busy they come back more worn out then they where before they left
3) Traveling is a pain. If you have a car you have to drive it to the airport, then park it and pay for it then take your heavy stuff with you. I won't even get into all the airport security and if you have a long enough lay over to make the next flight. Then after you get off the plane you have to find your lugage and rent another car, ARGH........
I didn't even get into what happens when there are kids.
So I say stay at home and do stuff that you want to do around where you live that working gets in the way of.
Monica: John looks like shit.
Matt: What do you expect? He just got back from his gaycation.
Sandi: You know what that means. Four days of sex, drugs and no last names.
Too overworked to go into the office.
Too poor to drive to Toronto.
