The Sun Was Out Run

 photo 100_6396_zps34e6f57d.jpg
Outrun the Sun seemed to be a big success again this year, despite the rain.  The skies did clear up and lots of runners, walkers, families, and friends came out to enjoy the festivities.

Megan and I volunteered to be road marshalls this year.  Here is the first batch of runners on Lake Road turning down Burnett.

And now the mob!  Hundreds of racers pass by.  A great time was had by all.  For more information about Outrun the Sun and the Rochester Melanoma Action Group, please visit: http://www.melanomaaction.org

I can't have guest visit and not try to entertain them.

WAIT!  I just want to bother you!

Tails up and they're off.

Sure, they run away when I come to see them.  But, when I'm trying to have a peaceful moment at my fire pit they terrorize me.

Megan and I had a mini-date to Rumi's Grill and Cafe (http://rumisgrillcafe.com/) at 2735 Monroe Ave in Brighton (the old Pizza Hut).  Here are a couple of beef flats, which is a flat bread with lots of veggies and spices.  And, not a bad deal at $2.95.

This is a Rumi's Doner, which is essentially a beef and lamb sub.  It was soooooo good.  I don't know if the locals know what to make of this place yet.  But, we felt adventurous and want to try it out.  It's a good Mediterranean/Turkish restaurant.  Rumor has it that they have a great breakfast.

Happy Birthday Dick!  Megan made a delicious cake that had many adventures in my car

Bailey's BBQ Sauce from Fruitport, Michigan!  This is really the gift that keeps on giving.  First as food and now as a vase.

Midget parking?  Saw this at Yotini's Yogurt Shop, which hasn't opened yet last time we walked by.  Never know what you'll find wandering the neighborhood.

Broad Street Bridge.  This is one of the more interesting things about downtown Rochester.  For those that don't know, the first level of arches use to be the Broad Street Aqueduct of the Erie Canal.  It carried barge traffic from the Erie Canal over the river.  In the 1920s, it was converted for use for the subway system and the top level was added for automobile traffic.  There's been talk about opening the bottom level up to the public with a walkway, stores, and other projects.  

That's about it.  The PGA Championship is in town at Oak Hill Country Club.  Megan and I plan on stopping over at there to see a practice round.

So a Priest Walks Into Bellhurst Castle...

Bellhurst Castle (http://www.belhurst.com/) on Seneca Lake.  Father Jack had his 50th anniversary of being ordained as a priest.  

Photobucket
For those who don't know Father Jack, he's the priest that married Megan and I.  Here we are dancing at our reception.  It was a great 50th anniversary celebration and we were honored to be invited.

I can't wait for her to try to make this happen when she's 70-80 lbs.

I call this "Still Life of a Future Blog Post."  

That's all I have this week.

Digging My Own Grave

 photo 100_6165_zps81d710a3.jpg

Must of done something wrong to be digging my own grave...  With Megan's b-day shovel...

"He knew he had it comin..."

That ain't no grave, it's the early stages of a new fire pit! 

 photo 100_6168_zps8b6d0467.jpg
It's getting there...

 photo 100_6169_zps5a71f30e.jpg
Oh boy, just in time for Memorial Day Weekend!  (For instructions, please visit: http://mikekraus.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-build-simple-fire-pit.html)

Oh happy wife.  A new fire pit and hammock all in the same weekend.  Must of been a good birthday!

Now for some randomness.  And, what could be more random than cuddling chincillas?

Waiting to vote for Penfield's 4.4% property tax hike, there was a little art show that featured my niece Rachel's awesome rendition of Hokusai's Great Wave.  There's framing.  The color gradient in the sky is well done.  The marker line work is beautiful.  
Looking forward to the long weekend.  A MUCH, MUCH needed weekend and should be a lot of fun.  Hope yours is too!

A Week In the Life of a Lollypop Farm Employee

Photobucket
I believe this sign should be made available to all employees having a rough day.  Perhaps in t-shirt form for those without an office.  


Photobucket
My getting to work wheels and my at work wheels.  Compare and contrast.  


Photobucket
THE BRICKS ARE IN!  YEAH!!!!  Thanks to Zaretsky and Associates landscaping for the installation.  Thanks to my team for all the work they've put into it.  Most of all, to all our donors for participating!!!


Photobucket
So many good bricks.  They look better now that they've been swept and it has rained


Photobucket
Lots of new birds at Lollypop Farm after a surrender.  These guys captivate my attention every time I walk by.  


Photobucket
Thanks to Dee for my new desk ornament.  It's Squash Beetlejuice!  Michael Keaton has never looked so good.


Photobucket
Thanks to Karen for my new creepy Puss In Boots clock.

OH MAN!  The set is going up for getting your Holiday Pet Photos.  At the very least, you should check out the pics of Santa with the animals.  But, it would be even better to sign up and have a picture taken with you furry friend at:

And now, for the rest of the show!


Here's the questions. Does the CTA think people are feeding toast to giant pigeons or tiny toast to normal pigeons?


Brent and Angela's party. Amanda, Karli, Angela, and Vienna Beef Girl. I forget what her name is, but she works for Vienna Beef. She can get 10lbs. of hot dogs for $10. Ask her!


Nate, Doug, and Nick in an important discussion.


Gracie is so laid back.


Tennessee love to bother Gracie.


Amanda telling Nate all about her new apartment


So, Lady was cleaning herself while we were watching TV. I took this picture and she didn't like it. She rolled over and then hid behind the arm of the chair. Then staired at me waiting to kill me in my sleep...


Cicimaca is a candy bar from Andy's Fruit Ranch. Then have tons of foreign candy. This is some kind of chocolate covered chocolate foam with raisins. I had Banako and that was not great. Banana flavored foam with chocolate coating...


France and Amanda and Amanda's AMAZING NEW APARTMENT, which is really close to my apartment. Proof that everyone I know is moving to Chicago.


I liked the pattern on the door. I may use it as a background or something...


There are apartments that are smaller than Amanda's kitchen. Here's Amanda and Noah praising the light. Frances doesn't know what's going on...


"HI OVER THERE!"


"NOAH, YOU SEEM LONELY OVER THERE! ARE YOU OKAY?!?!"


Mike Nummerdor pulling up a piece of hardwood floor.


Amanda and SME


Frances and Mike


Amanda, SME, and Frances


Quality girl time


Frances still doesn't know what's going on. SME is interested. Amanda is SHOCKED!


Tyler at another party. Nothing like rockin' the hood!


Frances


Nate is looking more like his Wii character all the time...


Noah should have been royalty in the 1500s.


Pretty SME. I have one where she's squishing her face and her tongue is hanging out. Out of my love of her, I will not post it... This time... Remember that and Megan can verify.


Me and SME


Nick and Amanda.


SME, Cliff, and Frances "hooking" on the corner.


Mike, Amanda, and Noah watching something good.


MICHIGAN BAR! Nate and Doug showing off our heritage of knotting pine, fish, and Bob Seger. I propose that Nate, Matt, and Tyler's apartment be known as the MICHIGAN BAR HOUSE from now on. Good job guys.


The dance floor


Sassy SME and unknowing Frances


SME and Frances once again. What are you drinking SME? Did you pull out some homemade Moonshine or something from the Michigan Bar?


Nick, Nate, Doug, and SME finding the benefits of having a dive bar in your own apartment.

Once again, another shameless plug for the 'zine. CHECK IT OUT NOW. Links below:
