Stuck at Bennette beach
Category: beach
Not us, but everyone else seems to have though parking on the muddy grass was a good idea. The beach was packed like I never saw it and there were multiple tow trucks pulling people out. We ended up leaving and going to Wendy.

Despite what everyone else says I have never been here. It us missing all if the eye candy from Bennette.

This one girl decided to drive straight into a ditch at like a 45� angle. I tried to get a better pic but they were yelling at us.

It looked too disgusting to go in. I am not a big fan of the beaach after rain.

Paddle Boats
These ones hold four people and a cooler. The only problem is how would we get it to and from the waterfront. Well that and the $500 price tag.

Maybe like how they have the things for boats to go on behind cars they make them for these as well.... Guessing most people who buy these pay to get them delivered and then they stay at that pond or lake or what ever place they are buying them for.....
tinypliny - 05/30/11 11:24
Seems like a worthwhile investment to me if you are fond of going on the lake and totally affordable for such a nifty thing! Are you sure its $500 and not $5000 or $50K?
tinypliny - 05/30/11 11:23
People just haul on the top of their cars. And that is cheaper than a laptop or even some of the ipads!

Hoak's On Route 5t
Category: food
(e:terry), (e:mike), (e:libertad) and I were searching for a new lunch place today. After like an hour if thinking if somewhere to go we decided RI head out down 5 ans follow the lake. After Mike ans libertads awedul experience at Dug'a Dive last year we decided tto skip it and end up going until we saw Hoak's. I am glad. The food was great. Everything I ate was delicious and we got to sit in the sun, outaide in the lake to eat.

I wish I took a picture of the appetizers. Mushroom capacity stuffed with seafood.

Mike got a grilled shrimp Salad, and libertad and terry at roast need on weck.

I got fried clam strips and fries.

Apple Store Meltdown in Buffalo, NY
Category: computers
I hate apple so much right now. Our stupid Mac mini computer just stopped working so (e:terry) made an appt. It must be the power supply seeing it does nothing when plugged in. Once we got there the apple store was having a meltdown. The lights were going crazy and the employees circled around like pioneers on a wagon train being attacked by angry Indians.

So a broken apple computer and a broken apple store, argh. I can't believe their stupid system accepted an appointment when it was down. And seriously a company like crapple can't afford a cellular backup network solution. If they can't even keep their stores running who is going to trust them as a network based cloud solution.

I'm thinking it might finally be time to get a new computer. Would you not recommend a mini? I want to use it the same way you guys do and hook it up to the tee-vee.

vincent - 05/30/11 23:27
As they say on CNBC, Apple isn't a computer company it's a Luxury Brand.
paul - 05/29/11 21:09
I think maybe it was alerting them the systems were down.
tinypliny - 05/29/11 19:32
An alienship landed on top of the Apple store today. Didn't you know?

PS: All those lights are so strange! Are they controlled by some network settings?!!

Hiking At Niagara Gorge
Category: hiking
Before the concert (e:terry), (e:tinypliny) and I went hiking at the gorge. We had two hours before the conceryt so it was really a quick run down, across and back up.

I think tiny might have been slightly terrified of the climbing over fallen rocks part. At the bottom we had a nice snack if organic treats.

There was a boyscout troop doing the same thing. I couldn't believe how many of them were fat and having trouble. There were barely any fat scouts when I was a kid. I don't mean stocky either I mean straight up fatties.

The water was higher than I ever remember it which makes be think canoeing at somewhere like zoar valley would be awesome.

I have done a few trails in my past but was never good at it... I think I'm ok until I fall to my death going up.... Going down can be bit scary for some reason.... glad you had a good time and good time taking pictures as well....
tinypliny - 05/29/11 10:38
(psst (e:metalpeter): If I could do it, anyone could!! :))
tinypliny - 05/29/11 10:37
Yeah, that was my phone. I was doing a (e:metalpeter)-azzi type of photo-documenting while (e:Paul) and (e:Terry) were traveling upside down. The real story of what happened is at tinypliny,54377. ;-)
metalpeter - 05/29/11 09:21
Wow I have trouble making it out to see burlesque and you guys go hiking and to a concert I noticed (e:tinypliny) does she have something in her hand.... I wish I had the balance and climbing ability to do that kind of stuff.... Thought I was going to die avoiding the nail on the way up to and back down from the roof let alone rocks and on even ground
