Spring swimming in zoar valley
Category: hiking
I went to zoar valley with (e:mike) and (e:libertad). It's was so awesome
out. We even went swimming! I think is the earliest I have been
swimming. It was cold though, especially when my nuts hit the water
but we survived thanks to the 82 degree air temperature. I I've freak
warm spring days because unlike summer and fall, there are barely any
bugs and no mosquitos or horse flies.

The waterfall was so beautiful right, I wish I took pics.

The valley has changed since the flood. I seriously cannot belive how
high the water must have been during the flood last year. There was
debris and trees fallen 15 feet above normal creek level. It must have looked like the niagara river.

The island we skinny dip on was almost washed away and a new island
formed that was connected to shore by two giant trees that were
brought down when their roots washed out. They made awesome bridges.

you guys are much braver then I for the swimming thing. Plus the entire skinny dipping thing is something I have trouble wrapping my head around. I think I have seen to many shows where like someone takes the persons clothes or something. Or with my luck when I can't take the cold anymore others would come by... Now a few ladies of college age I might not mind at all but with my luck it would be like people I know I don't think I could handle that. Wait I know I couldn't handle that.

On to the camera thing.
1. If you are thinking about getting a new Camera you might want to look into spending a few more bucks and get a Water Camera. Granted I haven't tried mine in the water yet. But they are at least nice cause you don't have to worry about the rain and snow. You may want to look into it

2. If you Where to get one and wanted to stay local you could go to Delaware Camera. Bridgete works there but I don't know if she would be able to help you out at all but I'm sure she could at least get you some info......

24 Linwood painting continued

I got to paint with no shirt on most of the day. The ladder pic is
from like 5 feet higher than the other one. There is no more fucking
hot pink on the house. Side 2 is more than halfway brown. Next step
is the trim. Then the dormers, then the porch floor, then the
woodwork, then the bricks, then get the fireplaces going. Then redo
the bathroom, then the kitchen, then garage. It will never end.

You always hang on with just one hand, how else would you paint?
metalpeter - 04/03/10 15:18
How in this one and the other one you held on with One hand and got a picture I have no idea it is mind bogleing . The other thing is what is Wrong with the Kitchen, I like it, it has a lot of things to lean on.

Nice day painting

Worked really late last night, went to anchor bar for lunch, brought
the grill out, went home to depink the house, damn it's scary up
there, the one window sill required some serious work.

I think it is more likely it would rip off the house if I tried.
fing - 04/02/10 10:36
at least you have the downspout to slide down
tinypliny - 04/01/10 22:28
Just looking at that photo is making me dizzy - because I don't think I can tackle even 3 inch heels.
uncutsaniflush - 04/01/10 21:56
When it comes to ladders, Mr. you're a better man than I. I don't like being on ladders much over 15 or 20 feet.

Trashy porch on elmwood

What is up with this ueber trashy porch on elmwood next to Pano's
parking lot. It would look much better with nothing on the side. I
love all the extra trash supplies below.

tinypliny - 03/31/10 00:32
I heard that some of the neighbours didn't like the Pano expansion and were trying to make a statement - this could be one of them.

I want to look like this guy

So freaking bad. I would beat the hell out if everyone who pissed me
off.
