Thanks .... the part where you are outside was closed but I took a few pictures through the glass .... Eating outside would have been fun .... The food was pretty good (But some of it I had trouble getting, some things gotta grab by hand tongs don't really work).... I forgot that last easter I don't remember what I didn but I didn't really have one..... Everyone got along and the food was good..... I took pictures with my small camera didn't feel like lugging around the bigger the one ......

Yesterday must have been an amazing day to eat out on the water. That cupcake plate looks delicious.

Nice pictures of the botanical garden too.

Canada and the Falls
Category: photos
So I can admit I almost didn't go to falls yesterday there is some stress with that.. Will they let me in and will I get back in and again almost didn't go.... With the new ID I want to make sure I can get in before I try to go some place like Toronto.... Plus if my mom wants can go to a Blue Jays game just to go.... So my goal or is that goals of getting into Canada and Getting back into US I got those done... Yes even the questions did make me nervous and with the enhanced ID it did take a few minutes and seemed longer then people with passports but maybe they don't like how I look.... Plus I could go for fun at some point also..... But I didn't make it to any of the cool or chain places on either side..... It takes me time to get out of the house on the weekend as I wake up and get ready ..... Then I just felt like getting home... Just incase I couldn't finish the food or it hurt ......

Some other notes are that it took a long time at both boarders ... I think there where groups there... I did see some cheerleaders Some of them held up a pyramid and then took a picture... Also there is construction going on and still the winter season kinda yes still parts are frozen .... I did see a couple of the Asian Model look some people did the take the picture of them Jumping in air it was fun ..... Now to just figure out how many pictures are enough and how many would be to many .........

Sure the pictures aren't in exactly the order or right order hope it was about the right amount... I'd like to go back to the falls for fun .... I have never been to any of the strip clubs there ... and there is other fun stuff to do also I'm sure not sure if the WWE store is there.....

I forgot to mention that it felt odd catching the 40 Bus I use to catch it all the time like every day for work and that felt a little different... It has been so long since I've been to Canada (Since I couldn't get in or back into USA is maybe more correct) and not sure how longs since falls when I took pictures on maid of the mist... I would like to check out the boats on canada side and try maid of mist again.... I'm guessing it won't happens but who knows.....

Bisons Opening Day 2014
Category: photos
So I guess Picture wise I'll post some photos from before game and the bisons did win and not really pictures during game don't want to post to few or to many finding that balance is tough sometimes ......I was able to eat a Burger and fries and had a drink..... But I didn't see all the new stuff they claimed to have ..... Did I miss them ? or are they not there yet ? maybe that stuff was all at Petibones or something I missed ?

Alone again this year they where all busy and that is cool.... Dealing with my family is so tough some times it really is argh... Mothers Birthday got drama filled last night argh... So for those with great families who all ways get along and when you talk can do so civilised be glad you have an amazing family ... Not bashing the family just I don't know .......

Well I will admit I was in Row C so I thought I would be in the third row but it was the first row where I was no A or B so really had to pay attention .... Not sure how clear that was in photos I posted hope I put up the right amount .... by the end of the game I was freezing didn't start out that cold .......
metalpeter - 04/06/14 02:06
I don't know if I've ever gone past the stadium when a game was going on... I'm sure there is no safe way to watch it.... in years past some people would pay to park and then just watch the game from the parking ramp .......
vincent - 04/05/14 21:24
Oh Man I drove by on the 190 when you were there, I would have waived!

Construction Sheas Rock Of Ages
Category: photos
So to be clear I don't think it was worth the money to give the company tax breaks so we can tear down a building that is working to put up a new building when what was the HSBC tower that is on both sides of the street over the Metro rail tracks is like almost empty .... But I took Photos of the wreckage and photos at sheas for Rock Of Ages ..... It was fun and funny ....... Oh a Night time photos .....

I first heard of Rock Of Ages when it was in Toronto I think but I couldn't go not sure if I needed ID or not back then... Saw them perform on one of those early day shows Today maybe and they where great and last time I missed it but not this time.... I did see the movie though based off of the musical and it is different cause it is a movie but in the movie they had a few Def Leopard songs and here it was one post show and not having the rights to started the show and it was great.... Also in the movie they had the songs by one band sang by different bands .... The Musical was different then it but really good and funny... Lost my train of thought in there hope people like the pictures ....

Nice pictures. I especially appreciated the constructions photos. I am still in disbelief that they actually took that historic building down. I remember when Chippewa Street was a crap hole, and that building was one of the few nice things about that area. Kind of sad for now, but I am really hoping the new building makes it all worth it. I just wish they could have gone to one of the already vacant lots for the new one. Guess we'll have to wait and see, and hope for the best since it's too late to change what has already been done.

Baseball and Spring ? +
So I meant to write this blog last night... But .... I was tired and "The Rain" often puts me in a mood not depressed , Not Down, Sleepy maybe glad I was inside and when I woke up I had to do some shoveling Yeah I know it is Buffalo and sometimes it snows on Easter and this year it isn't the first time I'm sure but it falls on 420 ... Just wish spring would get here .... Although the Rain would make it spring just not the it freezing and sticking to ground part..... I just want it to be nice on Thursday and rain stay away.....

Granted on Tuesday I get to work to home to the shower change thing then off to Rock Of Ages it will be fun but my Energy will be low (Still so much food I can't eat and soft food moves to fast to eat before a Musical )

Thursday Is Buffalo Bisons Opening Day ... I can admit I never go to as many games as I want to .... I'm Not a Hot Dog and Beer guy... Not even sure what I'll be able to eat Cotton Candy for sure :) but other then that... But having a day off for that is a tradition ... I just don't want it to rain I'd like to see the entire game and not get wet ... I can also admit as great as Baseball looks on HDTV (Better then in Person) [Yes the grass is greener and you don't lose sight of the ball somehow ] It is boring on TV I just can't get into it..... But something about opening day and starting anew .... I guess the Major Leagues had some push to make Opening Day a Holiday ... The Petition got a lot of signatures.... But to me it is silly cause the home opener is different for different teams (Cause if everyone had it on the same day no one would have anyone to play ) Now they could set it up so it was only two days but still..... I'm not even sure when it is....

That being said I don't think I've ever been to Major league opening day ... I'm sure I haven't ... I'm hoping to make it to Niagara Falls once it gets warm and if that works hope to make it to Toronto and it would be nice to take in a game up there.... There are other things as well I bet they have a huge Pride Parade... Hockey Hall of Fame... Maybe even some "Night Life" "Walk on the wilde Side" hey who am I kidding I don't have money like that.... I miss Toronto, Canada, and Blue Jays games, and yes they are now the Bisons Major league team.... We shall see what happens but hope spring is here soon and that besides the rain it shows up Thursday.... But if it is like most opening days it will be very cold .............
