[TriPython] Setting a 10m buffer on a point in Geopandas

Hi I am having trouble setting a radius buffer to a point in Geopandas.
Even though my projection uses meters by definition and I add a units
parameter of meters, I can't figure out why it is buffering in degrees.

Trying to simplify the issue so I could pick apart what I am doing wrong I
have set up a notebook based on one of the geopandas examples:

I hope somebody in the Tripython community can point (no pun intended) me
in the right direction.

Thanks

Greg
