Between that, the Patriots - Jets, the Sundance Renovation and the fabrication of a ramp to easily get the new Ariens snowblower into the F-150... this weekend is freaking booked.

Not on Our Watch
This rush to point fingers at Conservatives because a sociopath decides to go beserk in Tucson is starting to get under my skin. At least Nancy Pelosi hasn't blamed the Bush administration yet.... but maybe I'm speaking too soon.
~
To those editorial writers who say that we should "calm down the rhetoric" and only point to the Right while whackjobs like Keith Oberman and Nancy Pelosi spout off with impunity.... come on.
~
The old adage that Liberals act on emotion and Conservatives act on thought really comes to the surface here. We should all be shocked and saddened by random senseless shootings in Tucson. But to blame anyone other than a crazy sociopath is the height of irresponsible classlessness.
~
Claiming that Sarah Palin is responsible for using "Crosshairs" in her campaign literature is pathetic pandering. Politics is a contact sport, with all sorts of aggressive metaphors. To say that these are the cause of a shooting is silly and worse.
~
A study of our political history will show that aggressive rhetoric has always characterized our democracy. When the Lefty Editorials and media call for the tone down of Conservative rhetoric, they are really advocating for a facist, one thought government. Nice try... Not on OUR WATCH.

Mayan Trash Talk
Nostradamus says that he could see out to the year 3797 AD. That puts a lot of pressure on the Mayans, who are counting us out by the end of 2012.
~
I'm not buying the Mayan prophecy for the end of days, and after December of 2012, I was thinking of heading down to the Yucatan Peninsula for a little trash talk.
~
Stuff like..."Hey Mayans... nice end of the world... Way to Predict... Nostradamus kicks your ass." But then I'd cool it down by setting them up at the bar with a few Dos Equis and some Nachos. Hopefully the Mayans down there have a sense of humor.
~
I'm sure they're not happy about their dire prediction anyway. A few good Mexican Cervages should soothe over any ruffled feathers.

Snow Emergency
Peeps....
Those of you who know me best, know that I'm a tolerant person.... willing to live and let live..... with an appreciation of diversity and my fellow man.
~
Why is it then, that I feel such seething hatred for these irritating assholes on Channel 5 Eyewitness News this morning who are trying to make a major issue over a few freaking snowflakes???
~
When did a snowstorm emolt into highly charged news in New England?
~
We've had the Governor on the line, and some asshole from the Town of Marblehead called me at 9:00PM last night with a computerized message about the "Emergency Blizzard".
~
The "Emergency" is not the freaking snow... it's having to put up with these egotistical assholes who have nothing better to talk about.
~
I suppose this post sounds a little grouchy, and maybe it is, but I'm not in the mood for silly bullshit this morning. We'll be firing up the new snowblower soon enough.

Snow Low Blow
Big snowstorm coming.
~
Bring it on.
~
Bought the Ariens 920014 Compact ST24LE (24") 205cc Two-Stage Snow Blower today.
~
Just look at this baby....
• 205cc OHV 900 Series Briggs & Stratton® engine
• 120 volt electric start with recoil back-up
• 2.9 quart fuel capacity
• 6 forward speeds / 2 reverse speeds
~
I had held off from the purchase of a snowblower throughout my adult life, but the configuration of the new Sundance House on the corner of West Shore Drive and Stramski Way, with two driveways and all of the paved parking area is a hell of a lot of shoveling.
~
Plus, I could always depend on TommyO to come across the street with his snowblower at Beverly Ave. The least that Tommy could do is move across the street from us up at West Shore Drive.
~
But with all of the driveways and no TommyO, I broke down and grabbed the last snowblower left at the Danvers Home Depot.
~
It's no replacement for TommyO, but it will have to do.
TommyO said...
Not Bad,
Jay cranked this boy up this morning and took care of the 'hood here on Beverly Ave.
The legend grows.
Bring it on.

Despicable
Our prayers go out to the victims of the Congressman Gabrielle Gifford shooting.
~
These senseless things are a random consequence of life in our society. With substance abuse and mental instability, we unfortunately always have to be on guard.
~
Naturally, George Stephanopoulos of the ABC Spindoctors is placing the blame on politics, without a shred of evidence of what the actual motivation of the crime was. My prediction is that the shameless leftys will have the Tea Party tried and convicted for this shooting before sundown.
~
Despicable behavior, after a despicable crime.

Managing the Move
The offers from you Peeps to help us move are pouring it. Joanne and I are very touched. Even Harvey Rowe offered to carry a box of books or two.
~
We'll probably set the date for Saturday, Feb. 5 at 10:00AM.
~
Although we are not limiting the amount of you who wish to participate, I am getting a bit nervous about my follow up bar bill at the Gerry.
~
After all, this was an attempt to save money on a moving bill, but now it looks like the Gerry afterward will cost me more.

Celebration Sip
On the way back from Dennis, I checked on a job proposal that was submitted prior to the Holidays with a Wireless Carrier that we have been trying to break into for a year or so.
~
Bingo. Price is good, job is accepted, more bid requests to be sent out next week.
~
This is the end of the first week of 2011. If we can reel in this customer for a couple of jobs a month, it will be a whole new outloook for Nanepashemet Telecom.
~
Good a reason as any to pour a celebratory Lagavulin this Friday Evening.

A Moving Idea
With the addition of the 18 ft utility trailer to the physical assets of Nanepashemet Telecom, it now seems entirely feasible to make the move ourself from 32 Beverly Ave to the Sundance Building on West Shore Drive during the beginning of February.
~
I'm starting to think that if we got enough Peeps together, the job could get done in three or four hours. After which the bar would be set up at the Gerry Club.
~
Let me know if you would be interested in participating in this noble cause.
TommyO said...
Count me in Brother...
Lisa P said...
Do you have to be a guy?? Because if not, I am in.
Harvey said he will help too if he finishes his workouts in time.....

Cape Cod Concrete
Heading down to Dennis, Mass. on Cape Cod early tomorrow morning to help on a labor shortage setting some fence posts for a cell site project that we have down there.
~
I know what you are thinking.... "Why is a Mountain of a Man like J humping his middle-aged ass pouring concrete posts in the middle of winter instead of doing important executive business management stuff."???
~
By sheer coincidence, I was thinking the same thing.
~
But it's not a topic to be dwelled upon. It's not like I'm schlepping 80 lb. bags of concrete everyday. Once in a while can't hurt as long as I keep my eyes on the big picture the rest of the time. And as long as I don't throw out my back.
