Jabe Pond 2012

It was such an amazing, peaceful time full of swimming, grilling and running around naked in the forest like a bunch of monkeys wrestling trees to the ground for fuel. I wish I could have stayed another week so bad. Maybe next time. Someone posted a great video of the road up to jabe

We had one really rainy storm that was borderline terrifying but it was beautiful most of the week.

The water was so crystal clear and amazing. It was the perfect combo of warm when it was cloudy and cool and cold when it was too warm in the sun.

Can you eat the clams from the adirondack lakes? I have never seen this kind in stores before. Many of the shells were pitted, I think it may be caused by acid rain. UPDATE: they are mussels are they are an endangered species. Here is an insteresting story of their past

Its tamer than other years but you can almost see my junk in this one. Just stop here if you are afraid....

So sad its over

Last night of a week long camping trip. It was a long journey home. Luckily part of it involved dinosaur BBQ. I already miss swimming.

Teen Wolf

I am such a sucker for these kind of shows and now that Secret Circle is on break I needed my fix of teen magic drama. That plus I always wished I was a werewolf.

Strangely, the up to this point non-magical one on the left is my favorite.

Fillmore - New York State Park

We camped at Fillmore for the second night of the trip on the way out to the adirondacks. It was really green and lush in the forest there. There were so many amazing bridges and stone walkways. It even had a dammed in swimming area.

While hiking I found the same berries I also ate while hiking in Portland. What are they? They are similar to raspberries but flat and have different leaves.

Scenic Vermont

I love swimming in clean water. The ledges reminds me of a larger version of the quarry we swim at in Canada. Its so deep and there are tons of fish. I really feel like I could live here but I would miss city life. If only it was closer.

Wahoo Conch Fritters, Vermont

These conch fritters were very tasty, similar to the ones from Curly's in lackawanna, NY.

Someday I want to try conch without other stuff. I am the conch eating equivalent of someone who thinks they know clams but has only eaten clams casino.

Camping on our way to the adirondacks

Stayed at a state park along the way to the Adirondacks. The place is called Fillmore. They have an interesting swimming hole from a dammed up spring and nice bathrooms. Can't wait for more rustic conditions.

Dionysis Festival at Brushwood

(e:flacidness) and I headed up to the dionysis festival at brushwood on Friday. It was a fun evening filled with wine and dancing. I never drank so many kinds of wine at once. I would have taken more pics but I had nothing to put my phone in.

It was interesting because almost all of the people were from Buffalo.

918 Main st, Buffalo, NY

Looks like they are finally cleaning up the collapsing building on main street. Its amazing how long it took them to start working on this. I really thought it was going to collapse into the street. I wonder what will become of the building.

Samsung 32Gb class 10 micro ssd - yippie

I saw a great deal on a 32GB class 10, samsung, micro SD card on new egg in retail packaging. It was around $1/gb which a year ago was unheard of. You can't really buy these things on amazon because there is so many black market scanners so I turned to new egg. Now to back everything up from my old class 4 16gb card.

Altogether the phone has 54gb of space now.
