...and still half a ceiling to go...ugh
Our new tenant is moving in shortly and expressed a desire for a not dirty-red wall. (e:Matthew) and I spent the day making the red go away. We went through about 3 gallons of whitish paint. This is the first time we've ever made a dark color lighter, as we generally prefer pretty saturated colors, and I now appreciate what all this priming nonsense is all about. Dark colors don't like to go away.
We ran out of the first 2-gallon tub with splotches galore and a dark line at top and bottom. We opened up another gallon, which naturally didn't quite match, though both clearly said WHITE. We figure that doesn't matter since this is just primer anyways, right? Then we started the ceiling...then we finished with starting the ceiling. Yeah, you know what, that ceiling looks just fine the way it is. Except now it is kinda a different WHITE in some sections. I'm sure the new guy won't mind...
So anywho, anyone know of any relaxing things goin on tonight? Or just wanna hang out and chill a bit? My place or yours, or any other place for that matter. I do happen to have a nice big empty WHITE room...

MomCategory: motherly type things
Sorry my phone is a piece of crap. I love you. Sorry I am such a wretched son who doesn't call his mother nearly as much as he ought to. I hope the dance show and cutie Neal have taught you the value of Buffalo, and how much fun it would be to visit me. I am excited for your upcoming event, drive-thru or otherwise. I miss you all so much and wish I could manage to get over there more. I am sorry (for you) that my sister seems just as smart(ass?) as I am. Tell her I love her, please. My B-day is coming up so I will probably talk to you again within 2 weeks, which just might be a first. And lastly, Maui has nohin' on da B-lo!
(except beautiful white beaches... crystal clear waters... hot bare-chested servers with coconut-shelled parasol-topped frozen delights...)
well at least invite me?!

Lookin' for a swim holeCategory: summer
Just wondering if anyone knows a good place to swim. I'm looking for something unchlorinated. Such as a non-mucky pond, or a filled-in quarry. A rushing stream would be okay too. I need to swim! Anywhere within about an hour of Buffalo is fine. I'll even cross the border if I have to.
Any suggestions? Anyone wanna lead us through a secret backwoods trail to that perfect hidden pond you've been sojourning to every summer?
Please, help me get wet!

Wow- I'm loving this. I also love to swim, and am frustrated with the lack of options around here.
One place I've been going (which mind you, is Lake Erie) is Gallagher Beach in south buffalo, at the end of Tifft St, accross from Tifft Farms. It's next to an old grain elevator, and it can look a little post-industrial at times, but it has been cleaned up a lot in recent years. There's even a nice boardwalk. The beach is gravel, but in the water, it is actually pretty sandy.
I'm excited to hear about a pool in my area too. Mike, you mentioned the "pool club" at Holiday Inn on Delaware. You mean the one closest to North St? Is it an outdoor pool? How much is the pass?

I hit up Beaver Island State Park for a non chlorinated swim. Located on South end of Grand Island (exit 18), the water source is upper portion of Niagara River. Lots of sand! Would be about 15 min drive from B-Lo?
:::link:::
and there is a hidden lake/pond that is located in Wheatfield area. I'd have to show you, as its not soemthing I can exactly give directions to. "drive along river road, find train tracks, look closely for dirt bike/ATV trails. Park on side of road. Follow foot path till find lake. Jump in"
For chlorination, Fort Niagara. Wade pool, 4ft olympic size pool and deep pool w/ slide. Could jump into Lake Ontario, but as with Lake Erie, ik dont recommend it. :)

If you do find out let me know too. Diving into a pond from a boat is the very stuff summer is made of.
Too bad that one of the largest lakes on the planet is feet away from us but so poluted your toenails turn into toucans upon contact.

Thunder bay beach cross the border is good. It's Lake Erie but it is removed from the industrial crap on our side. There is a hidden beach along Garrison Road in Ft Erie that works out pretty well. No Amenities of anyy kind other than clean sand and water for said wettness.
On the chlorinated front, I belong to the pool club at the Holiday Inn on Delaware. Pay one price swim as much as you want between Memorial Day and Labor Day

Green is the color of my true love's haiCategory: parade
St. Patrick's day is here!
Gotta love washing the taste of coffee away with beer.
We'll be down around Delaware/North for the parade. Right now we're filling up the lounge room at the 24. A bit of pregame never hurt. Afterwards, who knows? Crazy bars, back to homestead, taking the parade to the Fruit Belt, anythings possible.
See you there!

Happy Birthday! Hope it's a great day for you.
mr terry!!!!!! did you get my email?
your tenants are spoiled.
you have a new tenant? I have not seen you guys in forever!
oh sorry... i didn't exactly know where we were going myself....
we went to niechetzeessess? some place on allen street...
with the neighbor fella...
i would love to have ventured further, but i think that i should probably hit one bar at a time as to avoid drunken stupid felly behavior.
well, chillin' is relative. I didn't necessarily mean 'night on the couch' just something more entertaining than painting. :)
Where ya'll at?
i am attempting my first evening out past 10. i guess thats not so chillin.
I am on Martini #2, I am way ahead of you on the chilling thing.
