Black Mountain Hike

While at Jabe Pond we made a trip out to black mountain for a day hike. The weather was pretty awesome but I was drenched by the end even without the rain.

Its a pretty awesome look out over Lake George. I would suggest checking it out.

Arriving at Jabe Pond 2015

We arrived at camp to find the parking lot full of forest rangers. Turned out their was a forest fire on one of the hills surrounding the pond. The forests were so dry with the lack of rain. Even the pine trees were starting to look yellow. I could see how it could easily catch fire.

Luckily, they got it out and we didn't die.

Ladies Only Hats at Walmart

Not sure if this is in response to Target ungendering their goods or not, but now many of the baseball and cowboy hats in the Walmart sporting section are clearly sticker-labeled as ladies only with a pink "ladies" sticker. So for all you guys who wanted a blue trimmed Ford logo camouflaged hat, put it down - ladies only.

What's next, labeling all pants as men's only?

Who do they think this is helping? Its not like women and girls are held back from wearing men's hats and require the sticker for it to be "OK". I also don't see the sticker stopping any guy who really wants a pink trimmed hat from getting it. So who is it for, the macho hunter who can't realize for himself that this hat might be a bit girly for the weekend hunt who the bros?

Squeaky Wheel Peep Show

The Squeaky Wheel Peep Show fundraiser over at 500 Seneca St on Saturday was pretty awesome.

First, the VIP room was amazing. The atmosphere, the food from Coco and the cocktails were unbelievable. If that was the entire event I would have gone.

The art installations, the center of the entire event, were also pretty great.

My favorites were a tie between Keith Harrington's living room setup with the corn buskers and Kleenex on the tablr, dreamland' BDSM Pancake video, and the Dirty Thirty gameshow.

Watching (e:Dianne) smash eggs in her face during the Dirty Thirty gameshow made me cringe. For her sake I'm glad she didn't have to pass onto the next round.

I feel like next time around, I am going to put one on.

Two Hour Traffic Jam

The accident on the 90 toward Rochester must be pretty hardcore. Google says the next little stretch is going to take 2 hours and we have been parked on the highway for about 15 minutes already with no movement at all.

Mather's Arch Fort Erie Robbery Or Crazy

We biked over to Windmill Point in Fort Erie for a swim this hot afternoon. On the way back we stopped at Mother's Arch. Either someone was robbed and lost their purse filled with only a giant cross and hand creme, or they went crazy.

Other clues we envelope full of tax papers and crazy God scrawl in the fountain, and Bob Marley tee-shirt on the bike rack.

The cross in the pursue was marked as costing $24.95, so someone really cared about it.

Frat House Life

Saturday night I had an allergy based migraine so I stayed home and went to bed early.

I woke up to a bunch of our friends using the giant metal spoon for a spanking contest to see who could hit harder.

Not sure how the bear head got involved but it made for a real interesting situation.

Beans And Greens

Got some amazing baby swiss chard from the Clinton Bailey market. In fact a giant bag for only 2 bucks. Every piece perfectly clean so that if didn't even need to be picked through at all.

I mixed that with white navy beans, roasted garlic, chopped artichoke hearts and put it on speghetti. Then I sliced some aged Gouda and aged Asiago over the top.

Paired it with some spicy chicken sausage from the grill, yum!

We also grilled some squashes. This year I tried grilling that ugly yellow squash with the bumps on the skin. Its really good. Just brush on some olive oil, salt and pepper and grill till soft.
