A new life for the Marine Star/Aquarama?
May 31, 2006 at 6:56 pm by DerekWhile out geocaching on Monday, we happened to be near the Marine Star/Aquarama - that big rusting hulk of a ship, moored up next to the grain silos along Route 5. Since I had my camera with me, it seemed like a good chance to try and get up close to the ship. [...]
Working from home sucks…
May 31, 2006 at 1:27 pm by Derek… when it’s 90 degrees outside, 85 degrees inside, no air conditioning, and noisy as hell because there are concrete contractors running around your yard digging, filling, hammering, and pouring concrete for the new patio and sidewalks. To make it worse, I had to close all the windows so the color powder doesn’t blow [...]
Cheap maintenance bill for once
May 30, 2006 at 11:40 pm by DerekSometimes it’s very beneficial to know how to do some relatively simple “advanced beginner” maintenance tasks on your own vehicle. Such as today when my rear brakes started squealing. I ran down to Pep Boys, picked up a new set of pads, and threw them on the car for a total cost of [...]

Spitzer’s certainly “Taking Care of Business”
May 30, 2006 at 12:33 pm by DerekSo all the Democrats are in town for the big rah-rah Spitzer/Clinton party. BuffaloPundit is blogging the event, so if you’re interested head over there.
This comment made me laugh out loud:
Cue Tom Petty.
Cue the balloons.
Cue the confetti.
Segue into BTO’s “Takin’ Care of Business“.
Oh my. That’s Spitzer all right. He doesn’t care [...]
Memorial Day Geocaching
May 30, 2006 at 8:53 am by DerekOur holiday geocaching trip took started off with lunch at Curt’s Stop In on Route 5. It was our first experience at the local eatery. Pretty much a typical local diner type place. Not bad, but I’m partial to Red Top when it comes to local grill joints.
We decided to take another [...]
How I almost got on Jim Cramer’s Mad Money
May 28, 2006 at 9:34 am by DerekLast December, I was sitting in a hotel room in San Antonio flipping through channels on the TV when I ran across this guy shouting, throwing chairs, and banging on an array of sound effects buttons. That in itself isn’t all that peculiar in the age of Jerry Springer. What was is that [...]
Despicability rating: 10
May 26, 2006 at 10:13 am by DerekGenerally I’d leave the analysis on Mary Kunz Goldman’s weekly typeset diarrhea to BuffaloPundit, but she blurted out something related to my beloved Terminal.
With a shooting on Chippewa and gangsta rap in the Tralf, we wonder: How can we become an even bigger, badder Buffalo? Luckily, the Buffalo Central Terminal is stepping in, with the [...]
Flipped on a roll
May 25, 2006 at 11:50 am by DerekMichele Johnson’s “Flipped” trailer is starting to get the attention of the local media.
I stand by my viewpoint that eBay’s responsiblity is limited in this equation, although they could certainly help to alleviate the issue. What we really need to counteract the problem is tougher laws and enforcement in regards to fraudulently misrepresenting homes [...]
Sabres & Taylor!
May 24, 2006 at 10:24 pm by DerekDoublely-good night! Both the Sabres and Taylor Hicks win! Amanda and I logged about 15 votes last night for Taylor, which based on the about 64 million votes that were cast means we had 0.00002% influence on the final outcome.
As for the Sabres… can’t even take that much credit for their win. [...]
