24 Hour Bug.

I'm hopeful that this is a 24 hour bug, which would put me with about 9 hours to go.
~
Being a Mountain of a Man, I can tough it out, although I feel bad for what a lesser man would have to endure.

Novovirus

I wasted some of my precious Earth time last night watching the season finale of  "The Bachelor".
~
Don't know if this is purely coincidental, but I had intestinal issues all night and feel really nauseous  this morning.
~
There is a chance that I caught that novovirus that is going around from my grandkids, but I think that my body is reacting to watching that sappy ass show for so long.

Tea and toast today for the Mountain of a Man. 'T' no 'a' for the peeping peeps and Burberry scarves for everyone!

In the Nanepashemet Telecom Pantheon, which is higher, executive vice president, or senior vice president?

Winning at Winter

The Winter Olympics closed with the Americans winning a record 37 medals.... more than any country has ever won in a Winter Olympiad.
~
So we are getting better at Winter stuff as a Country.  Just a bit more proficient with snow and ice apparently.
~
That's enough of a reason for the Dems to put a halt to this Global Warming of theirs.

If we had won the gold in hockey, Obama would have apologized.

Business Wisdom

After 30+ years in business, I have this wisdom to impart to you.
~
If ever you hear someone say to you....
~
"My Word is My Bond"... or...."You're part of the Family"....
~
Know that (A) you are being lied to, and (B) you are about to get screwed.

I reckon anytime someones says Ise parts of the family i oughta have the right to do some breedin' with his lady folks

Sunday Cedar Shake Shingling

Waiting for the temp to crest 30 degrees, then I'll resume the shingling job on the back of the house that I started yesterday.  There was substantial progress made yesterday and my goal is to complete the back of the garage before the US-Canada Olympic Hockey Game starts at 3:30PM. 
~
That gives me six solid hours of shingling.  I can almost smell the cedar now.

Unspeakable Question

So I'm down at Feng Wan House on Atlantic Ave. in Marblehead, picking up some Chinese take out for Joanne, Mike and Katelyn,  and I run smack into Brendt D'Orio sitting at the sushi bar with his Trophy Wife Kerry and his oldest brother Eric.
~
Normally, this would be a very agreeable chance meeting.
~
But then the unspeakable happened....
~
Brendt asked me why he was chosen as the Peep of the Week!!!!
~
You can imagine my consternation, concern... and yes ... fear, as Brendt broached the question that threatens to tear at the very fabric of the Universe.
~
I played it cool though.  And acted as if it was no big deal.
~
Then, the Irascible D'Orio offered to buy me a Mai Tai if I told him the reason.
~
I'm not going down for no Freaking MAI TAI!!!!
~
But I kept my composure, as is befitting of a Mountain of a Man, picked up my "ORDA FO NESTA" and calmly left  a highly stressful situation handled in the most proficient manner possible.

Brendt D'Orio said...

SORRY JAY. RUNNING INTO SUCH A MOUNTAIN OF A MAN LIKE YOU GOT ME STAR STRUCK. THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT REALLY WENT TO MY HEAD.

Apology Accepted Brendt.

Kerry " The Trophy Wife" D'Orio said....
That or a couple of Mai Tais. Brendt is a total Aqua Donkey...Jay on the other hand is an Aqua Stud :-) 

Bad Weather Push

With some partly cloudy skies and a few rays of sun this Saturday morning, it's time to start fix the gutter in the back of the garage, and trim out and shingle the back of the house.  My goal is to get this done now before the good weather starts so that we can devote this summer to some serious activity on the water.

POTW Week 8

You gotta love customers who ask you to go the extra mile to get everyting done on time, which you willingly do, but then they take their non-chalant, sweet ass time in getting payment out to you.
~
I want my stool to be right next to theirs when we do our stint in purgatory.  It'll be nice payback time.

Announcing....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 8th Week of 2010

Sue Sue Raiche
Lindsey Kepnes
Dawn Baldisarri
Grady Butler
David Henderson
Lou Panakio

I always let my subcontractors know what the payment situation is.  To do otherwise is just plain lowlife.

You said stool.

Conversation Topics.

Politics and Religion. You can always get a rise out of people sooner or later when you venture into those areas. I like it when it is fun and light hearted, but it can get out of hand quickly. You have to know when to back off.
~
As long as people don't feel threatened, they'll provide some fun banter, but you never know when you will hit a nerve.
~
So it's a risky game.

Maria Rowen said...



Anyone can hit my nerve anytime with a topic of conversation that is religious or political as long as it is provocative. Save me from the loose-lipped-lingo of boring conversation...there must be an 'App' for that. Welcome back!

Tuna Lips said...


That Mary Magdalin was one classy hoor.

Back

I suppose I owe you an explanation for the lack of Blog posts this week.
~
You probably think that something really bad is happening.
~
Or that I'm involved in some big scheming plot and haven't had the time to contribute to this pathetic publication.
~
No matter what I say, you won't buy into it, so I'm not going to tell you anything.
~
Suffice to say that I'm back, as rough, tough, hard to bluff, and damn good looking as I ever have been.
~
So You'll just have to deal with it.

One person is locked in a cell. They cannot go anywhere or do anything. This person, though, has great imagination and an open mind. They are willing to learn and prepared to believe that anything is possible in the fullness of time. Another person can, within reason, do what they want, when they want. Their movements are not restricted nor are their resources too tightly limited. This person is full of opinion and prejudice. They only believe in what they can actually see. Which one is the prisoner?

North Shore WaterMan

Doug Maxwell. Peep Extraordinaire, has come out with his own blog, NorthShore Waterman, and I highly recommend that you visit it often for its thoughtful insights.  
~
Naturally, it doesn't rise to the level of our own Nanepashemet Blog, but then again, it's hard to reach the pathetic yet inspiring levels that this blog has attained.
~
Well done Doug.  May you  soon aspire to the heights of Blog superiority where Nanepashemet, and Harvey's Thoughts  now reside.  We are happy to receive you.

Spartacus

If you enjoy a good Gladiator yarn once in a awhile like I do, Spartacus will  hold your attention.  The series has been dragging a bit and I hope that they move into the historical reenactment of the slave revolt that the real Spartacus led.

This beats Curling, and it's way better than the Luge.
