photosCategory: sailing
I was so excited about sharing photos here. I went sailing for the first time and got some new photos of Buffalo from angles I've never seen before. Then we decided to go swimming, and my camera went to the bottom of the harbor. My lanyard broke, and camera sunk. Grr. I had a floating wrist strap attached to a waterproof camera, and I was foiled by a sucky piece of string.
I gave up on retrieving the camera and swam over to the breakwall. Jonathan, the sailboat owner, decided to bring the boat over to the breakwall to pick me up, rather than have me swim back to the boat. It was kind of cool getting back on a boat as it was in motion.
We sailed back into the marina, and randomly decided to swim again. I don't think you're supposed to swim in the marina, but we did. Then some food at the Hatch.
Some of Jonathan's friends live in the really nice condos on the harbor. We were invited over for a tour. OMFG. I didn't realize people actually live like that. We watched the sun set from the 10th floor of a gorgeous abode...

Unless it is a one of the store bought ones that are basically covered in plastic then there is no such thing as a cheap one.... Of course there is a big range in price and age of them so.... To bad about the camera but more to bad about the pictures really....

Sorry to hear about your camera. That does indeed suck. Glad you had fun despite it, though !

That sucks, I am so sorry to hear about your camera. I heard those condos were totally awesome.

I am kidding. I took several photos at the San Diego beach but then I got caught up in this crazy game all of us were playing at that time (we had to dig our heels in and hold our ground as the high waves came in without falling over). And of course, I fell in and totally forgot that the camera was in my pocket. The next day I recovered the camera completely ruined with salt deposits and a damaged SD card. So yeah sorry about yours. I hope it wasn't an expensive one...

the economyCategory: home improvement
The economy is shaky. I feel broke. Therefore, I am DIYing my home improvement projects. I get a sense of accomplishment, and I save money! Win-win.
It took me so long to tear off shingles from half my porch roof, that I accepted the offer of a neighbor to finish the job. Poor economy also means random people offering to do work for a little cash.
Normally I would always say no to someone offering to do work for me just because he was riding his bike down the street. However, this guy was helping another neighbor with work today. My neighbor that has been my snowblowing fairy and my lawn mowing fairy. I chatted with him earlier to borrow his tool for tearing shingles off. (He's also the tool loaning fairy). I figured if a neighbor I trust will hire him, I may as well let him tear off half my shingles.
I will blog more, and maybe post pics once I am clean and get a sugar fix...

billboardsI was driving in north Buffalo today, and saw multiple billboards for Taco Bell. It made me wonder why there were so many billboards, when there isn't even a Taco Bell in the city limits? I only know of them being in the various suburbs... Of all the things to get me to drive outside of the city, Taco Bell is not one of them.

I love Taco Bell My Self (even if it is only 32% meat but to be legally meat you have to be 35% or what ever those scary numbers are)..... I wasn't in the car so I'm not sure but maybe they where set up wrong and aimed at drivers headed out towards malls shopping center places....

Maybe Rochester is competing with Buffalo and is trying to draw all the junk foodies to their city limits. *gasp*
