So on the trip down to Buffalo Reuse to drop off the electronics I decided to stop inside and check out their new digs. (e:terry) wouldnt let me bring our old toilet because he said it was junk but they had 100s of them. The place has lots of great stuff and then a hodge podge of pure junk.

It seems like they are going to have to have some rules about what they take at some point or they will get overun with crap.

Like who is going to want the piece of broken plywood in the picture below?

The foyer light went out. I took down the fixture thinking the problem was the connection was in the fixture itself. Sadly, once I got the fixture down and successfully tested it using electricity from elsewhere I realized the problem was not in the fixture itself but in the line.

So I got out the multimeter and tested the voltage. Instead of being the normal 120v it was measuring 28v :( so I followed it down to the switch box and checked the lines going into the switch. Same problem 28v. argh so the problem in the line coming to the box from the circuit breaker. At least I think it is.

Tommorow, I am having an electrician by to check it out. In the meantime no electricity in the foyer, porch or Alex's room.

Its even better than I thought (e:paul,56949) Buffalo Reuse is a Sunking drop off point and they are open on Sundays. This means I can drop off a lot of old home things I don't want and the electronics all at once. Not only that they are open on Sundays from 12 to 4. Yippie!

Went to see Bad Boy Bill last night at s
Sinful with the guys. It was a great time. The crowd was an interesting blend of people from guidos to club kids and everything in between.

Sinful honestly has the best dance floor in the city. It becomes this amazing slipery butter floor. The lights and sound were also top notch.

I have enjoyed Bad Boy Bill every time I have seen him. To me the best part was the "If this don't move your booty, then your booty must be dead." remix.

He was one of originators in the Chicago house scene and it shows. Check out his wikipedia article His buildup is almost unmatched. I forgot how much I loved acid house before jungle took over everything.

Sometimes "friends" steal $600 and act like just okay because, "sometimes you got to do what you got to do." ... which in those cases is sue them.

The court house has some nice art.
