RIP Pat

Pat McManus -Rest in Peace.
~
God took you too soon, but a lot later than you thought he was going to. That's our secret.
~
Lynn's former Mayor, Pat McManus died suddenly on Friday.
~
I saw him walking door to door on Lynnfield Street in Lynn, last Thurs. and wanted to stop and talk, but I had a delivery in Burlington that I was rushing to attend to. Now I really wish I made the time.
~
Pat was a classmate of mine and teammate on the track team at Lynn English. I watched his political career unfold and was happy for his success... and now particularly sorrowful at his untimely death.

Adirondack Chairs and Lobster

Contrary to your negative Peep thought processes, I did accomplish quite a bit this weekend, most of which I can't talk about until the summer is over, but I can tell you that the patterns for Katelyn's Adirondack chair were all traced from the plans and cut out in luan plywood.
~
I also cleaned and organized the garage somewhat, and the workbench may be getting some life soon.
~
Tommy O and I rebaited all of the lobster traps and caught 16 shorties in the process, which we lawfully returned to the sea. By Wed of this week, when I get back from Swan's Island, ME, we will pull the traps with the hope of getting six keepers or so. Then on Sat. the same thing, which will insure a great clambake next weekend. Stay tuned.
~
If you think that there is a lot that I'm not telling you, you are dead on. But discretion is the greater part of valor.
~
When the time is right, I will tell you how we dealt with all the bullshit, but now is not the time. For way too long, we have been waiting for the pendulum to swing back. Soon, it will begin it's karmic drift, drastically challenging those who felt that they were secure in their self serving precarious perches.

Bonus Plan

A sunny Saturday morning. Mega bonus. Time for a plan.
~
Tommy O and I baited the lobster traps yesterday afternoon, and the boat is a mess. Plus there is some unprocessed bait that I have to take care of. High tide is around 3:00 PM. So I'm thinking of going out around noon, bringing the boat into Village Landing for a hose down, then heading out to Bluefish Alley behind Baker's Island for a troll or two.
~
That will get me back to the dock by 3:00 PM.... Time for a nap before we rev up the evening with Harvey and Lisa Rowe. We'll probably do a harbor tour with them.
~
So that leaves between now and 12:00 noon to start Kate's Adirondack Chair in the garage. I'll cut the patterns out of luan plywood and use these for final pattern routing of the chair parts.

When was the first beer cracked/dark & stormy mixed? Peach of a day it was.

Many a beer and Dark and Stormy was encountered. Statistics are hazy.

POTW Week 27

Watching the politically correct lefty assholes on Good Morning America playing a video of President Barach Obama checking out a young French woman's ass. They played it three times to emphasize that he was really watching his step.

~

For God's sake!!!

~

The girl had a killer ass.

~

If I was President, I'd still look at asses. It's only human.

~

So don't say he was looking down to watch his step.... you manipulative thought police assholes. Which brings me to the task at hand.

Now I have to get through one more day before we rock this weekend.

You Go Sarah

To the pathetic Peep who emailed me asking if my fondness for Sarah Palin has waned since she has resigned the Governorship of Alaska, I have this response.
~
What are you freaking Crazy????
~
She's still sizzling hot isn't she????
~
Plus I love the way that she brought that sanctimonious "funnyman", David Letterman to his knees.
~
Whatever her reasons for resigning were, this much is true. She was brilliant in her timing.
~
All those lefty media types who are so threatened by her were too busy fawning over the untimely death of Michael Jackson. Even though she could never slip under the radar, nobody had the chance to tee off on her like they would on a slow news week.
~
We haven't seen the last of Sarah Palin. And that is all right by me.

Paul on the road to Damascus said...

Now its all about Barry, no more smug mocking - you wont have Palin to kick around anymore. The whole "economy we inherited" bit is starting to lose some resonance. Joe Plugs has been like a broken record with that.

And Medvedev and Barry seem really tight, but when the Russian version of Darth Vader appears (Putin) Barry decides its wise to lecture the real leader of Russia that his ideas are in the past. And that "stern" proclomation about the fledgling democracy in Georgia, that has the Georgians feeling real positive about the stand they took for popular governance at the beginning of this century. Wow, the moral authority, Russians historically respond well to that. Where have you gone, Dick Cheney? What do the Iranians think of the democracy (admittedly fledgling) that you established in Iraq, in light of their "democratically" elected officials murdering them in the streets. The Mullahs are to Achmadinijad as Putin is to Medvedev. Playing nice with the folks who can't make deals, why, that reminds me of the sales folk that would golf with the lowest level lackey in a customer's orgnaization, and claim progress. Its playing business.

For the moonbat reader, note that the G-8 countries told him to go shove his global warming talk - Gore can get a medal, but the Europeans, who invented racism and excess, ain't havin' it.

It will take time to have all this nonsense discredited, but it will happen. Thanks to Governor Palin for falling on the sword, and stepping away from a rigged game.

Your home mortgage is a good hedge against inflation. The dollars you pay down with will not be worth the dollars you borrowed in real terms - the banks get Josed.

Spam

Don't know about you, but I get a ton of junk E-mail.
~
Mostly about things like weight loss, acai berries, phoney college degrees, Rolex watches, and the ubiquitious "pills to make your pee-pee get bigger".
~
Just so you Spammers know, I don't need any of this shit.... especially the weeny peenie crap.

Not Lip Service

My friend, Harvey Rowe, is a doer not a talker.
~
Although he can still talk a good game.
~
But he doesn't just say that "My Brother's Table" soup kitchen in Lynn is a worthy cause.
~
He actively recruits his friends and family to lend a hand.
~
Not a bad looking dishwashing crew!

Tuna Lips said...
I eats at the shelter anytime I gets to not having no food around the hacienda. I reckon it would be Tuna Lips service, then, sho nuff! Hoo ha, reglar Bob Hope I is!

Harvey Rowe said...
Thanks John/jay but the heroes are the ones in the picture like Ryan who gave his all and helped get 200 or so people feed and made their day a little better.......


Er.....
Harvey....
I didn't exactly refer to you as a "Hero", just as a freaking "Doer". I think you've read a little too much in.

Off Line

Peeps -
~
My Internet connection was down last night.
~
I felt so naked.

Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July.
~
We finally had a sunny dry day up here in the Boston Area. Went over to Will Crawford's house in Old Town, where his brother Chris was smoking five huge racks of ribs.
~
Many cool Peeps dropped by, including the very beautiful granddaughter of "My Friend Who Doesn't Want His Name Metioned in the Blog", Caroline Bruett.
~
Kevin Rockett gave us his insight of some of the intrigue at the Gerry Club, and I took a close look at Peter Crawford's motor scooter.
~
Pictures to follow.

Nanepashemet Job Opportunities

For all of you who have sent resumes to Nanaepashemet Telecom....
Be careful what you ask for.
~

~
Not every day is as good as this one.
~

Celebrating with Johnson

It's technically a work day at Nanepashemet Telecom. So we'll have our conference call, do some accounting, make a bank deposit, and tend to a few details. No big road trips today. Time to rachet this business machine back and shift into idle.
~
Plus, the Johnson's 4th of July Cookout is this evening and we want to harvest some lobsters, boil them, shuck them and bring the meat over for Lobster rolls. I suppose that we have to bring mayonaise, celery, and the imperative Nissan Hot Dog Rolls. A huge bonus is that Amanda and Jeremy have flown in from California and Minnesota... this is big time special.
~
So all in all, we will be pulling the traps and dispatching about twenty lobsters for this Dale and Gail Extravanganza. The Johnson's are the real deal. You find out who really counts during times like these.
~
Most of you really count too and have shown your friendship and support. Our family will never forget you.
~
Have a great 4th of July. You deserve it.

Tuna Lips said...
I am celebratory with my johnson every ding dong day. Why, you throw in a run away and a strung out street walker, its a regular marty graw. Me a my johnson is tight like that. No less than whitnee huston said learning to loves yerself is the greatest love. I likes that. Words to live by.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry.
~
I guess this Post Title was a High Soft One for our friend Tuna Lips. He took the bait quick and hard.

Dirt Under the Fingernails.

Those of you who know me as a top executive with rapier sharp business skills will be shocked to learn that I spent the day in Rockland, Maine helping Alex and Ryan set a communications shelter and pour a concrete stoop with 25 8lb sacks of 5000 psi Sacrete.
~
Is this a misuse of talent???
~
I don't care what you think.
~
A little sweat, dirt and grime doesn't hurt... as long as I don't have to do it everyday like those guys.
