Second day of work done on the brown room. It's now all primed and ready for a yellow paint, with orange baseboards that (e:terry) has painted. It's crazy how much better it looks already with the stains covered up and some of he unevenness patched over.

Now we are at Sato for a ramen dinner.

Since the tortoise is now gone ? to warmer climes, we now have an extra room. like we didn't have enough. BT since there's no other bed furniture (e:Paul) and I wanted to have a computer work/hangout room. It gets so much light.

First we had to unhoard all the computer boxes, booked, and knock knacks in the room. Can you believe (e:Paul)'s PowerBook still boots? Some sugar gliders peed in it at some point so it smells now. It still contaons whatd you expect for Paul Visco circa 1999.

Paul wanted to get rid of the closet so we demolished it. I love drywall a million times more than messy plaster. It turns out there's a ton of illegal wiring to this room, including unsecured lines hanging in the basement.













Obligatory crack shot when doing housework

We went to brunch with (e:Mike) and (e:libertad) on Saturday morning. We tried Betty's which was amazing. I got a raspberry casserole with almonds and cream cheese and split it with (e:Terry)'s bean and cheese breakfast.

Later we walked around the downtown ghost town and did some exploring. First at the carpet store on Delaware with its crazy expensive rugs. then some back alley of an empty bar.

Did you know there was an entire island dedicated to dogs in Ellicott Creek Park? It's paradise and definitely the highlight of Niagara Falls Blvd (it's at Creekside Drive on the west side).

I walked around while (e:Paul) was at his doctor's appointment, even though I had no dog with me. There are all these WPA era structures from it being the first county park, including a crumbling castle of a boat house. It's very well treed too and I didn't see any dog suprises on the ground ? .

I'm not a fan of light pollution but the lights on the grain silos were pretty cool. (e:paul), (e:terry) and I rode down to check them out. I think they're supposed to go for a year so you have more than enough time
