For the 4th day in a row, I've hit the gym for a rigorous workout on the aerobic and weight machines. Peeps, you may think the Mountain of a Man is a pinnacle of fitness, but you would be wrong. Even I have to tone up from time to time in order to maintain peak MOAM condition.

New Menu Item
Peeps....
I know that many of you think that my culinary skill is limited to Buffalo Wings, Macaroni and Cheese, and White Trash Balls.
~
Fair enough.
~
I do prepare these delicacies at a professional grade level... but today I will be broadening my horizons for the Patriots Game Dinner with Chicken Marsala over Penne.
~
Sometimes, being a Mountain of a Man means that you have to expand the menu.
~
Man cannot live on White Trash Balls alone.

Helpless Degradation
Yes Peeps, I did get in the workout at the Y this morning ... despite a bit of irritation.
~
There are a lot of pretty women working out there, but when I work out, rest assured that it is all business. But as I was pedaling away on the elliptical trainer, I could sense the women staring at me... especially at my ass in motion.
~
Pretty annoying being eyed like a piece of meat. Downright degrading.
~
And then when I would whip around and check who was starring, they would immediately avert their gaze in a vague attempt to act as if they were not fixated on my sweaty backside.
~
Naturally, I depend on my Mountain of a Man capabilities to maintain a civil decor in this situation.
~
I will try not to let this degradation inhibit my fitness activities in the future. They really can't help themselves.

Saturday Plan
More work this weekend, processing orders at sizzling hot Nanepashemet Telecom. I don't mind, but it's not like my cash position will be improving with daughter Kate's wedding plans.
~
Not complaining. She's the best daughter in the world and my hope is that she and Brady will supply me with Depends and other staples as I pass through my Golden Years not so long from now.
~
So this wedding is really an investment in the future.
~
But back to this weekend... I plan to take a break from the Nanepashemet work at some point and get in an intensive workout at the YMCA. They have some healthy looking staff there who appear to be trained in the use of a defibrillator, so I'm really going to let it rip. Some cardio machine for 45 minutes, then upper body weight work, then I will try to remember how to shoot a basketball for a cool down.
~
God willing, that defibrillator will stay attached to the wall during my stay.
~
High tide is at 4:00PM and at some point, I have to get to the WhaleEye and de-boat all of the boat beers, beverages and that bottle of Lagavulin that is doing me no good floating in Salem Harbor.
~
We have important plans for this evening too, which I'm not going to tell you about.
But what the hell are you reading this for???? Get your own freaking Saturday Plans.

Snickering Indonesians
Before dinner tonight at the Dolphin Yacht Club with the Johnsons, we went over to Ryan's apartment where we met up with Brendt and Kerry (POTY) D'Orio.
~
Seems that Kerry has ordered some Yoga Pants from the Nanepashemet Clothing line and found them a little snug.
~
Damn those Indonesians!!!!! I put some real American money into their apparel sweat shops, and this is the thanks I get.
~
I specifically told those SOB's to go generous with the threads and make these pants a little easier on the derrierre.
~
But these obstinate bastards get a huge kick out of the thought of American Women jamming their asses into pants that are just too damn tight.
~
Wouldn't you be pissed if you were me????
~
I swear to the Baby Jesus, if I have to fly to Jakarta, I will get these pants right.
~
If Kerry thought they were cool, millions will follow and I can't afford a bunch of snickering Indonesians to cut into this profit margin.

Mitt has Momentum
Turns out that Mitt Romney so trounced President Obama in the debate, that his supporters can only say that Romney was "lying".
~
Let me see if I understand this position.
~
You get up and speak in front of 50 million people and think that you can get your points across by lies..... with the Liberal Mainstream Media fact checking every thing you say.
~
@Libs, Lefties and Phonies.... I don't think so.
~
And to our esteemed ex-VP Al Gore (inventor of the Internet), who said that Obama was affected by the altitude (no Joke).... I must retort. Wasn't Mitt at the same altitude????
~
When are people going to see Gore as the crazy Moonbat that he is?
~
Romney slammed Obama with details and facts in a manner that suggests that he obviously commands the subject and is the most qualified candidate.
~
If I were Obama, I would cancel the next two debates and keep running those stupid ads about how Romney doesn't care about half of the population and only wants to help Wall Street and Millionaires. BO's only chance is if people ignore the facts and believe this bullshit.
~
Mitt has Momentum. 31 days to go.

Liberal Ass Whupping
I didn't get to see the Presidential Debate tonight, but I listened to it as I drove the 3hr. drive back from a New Haven County Zoning Hearing (where I emerged victorious in standard MOAM style).
~
From what I heard though, Mitt kicked Barach's lefty liberal ass with his facts, logic and style.
~
Course, I make this judgement from a thoroughly unbiased, independent and non-judgemental standpoint... a stance I learned by watching Rachel MadDog Madow on MSNBC.
~
I'm no psychic, but I have had a vision of George Democratontopofus declaring BO as the victor on ABC Good Morning America tomorrow. Next thing you know, I'll be talking to dead people.

Debate Outcome
Peeps...
Haven't I told you how out straight we are at Nanepashemet Telecom? Working tireless for hours on end to fulfill the 4th quarter push? Then why were so many of you constantly pestering me today... asking my opinion on who won the Brown v. Warren debate????
~
I don't have time to explain the obvious to you time after time, all day long.
~
It is my fervent hope that some of you can be weaned from this Blog someday and actually form your own feeble yet pathetic opinions.... and not lean on me for continual insight into every political aspect of this exciting Senatorial contest.
~
And don't be baiting me with questions like whether it still bothers me that Warren claims she is a Native American (pc for Indian) and that her grandparents forced her mother and father to elope because of their hatred for the Red Man. Liz should be credited for distancing herself from these racist relatives.
~
By all things Nanepashemet, Native Americans are inspirational to me, but I regret to say that they seem to lose their cache by the time that the blood is diluted to the 1/32 level that Warren claims to carry around.
~
I can't say who won the debate, but I can say that Elizabeth Warren is a liar, and liar's turn into losers. Scratch that.... Scott kicked her lying ass.

Liberal Feline Bureaucrats
We've had cats all of our married adult life.... from Mingo who we got from a farm in Hadley, MA a month into our marriage, to Roenick pictured below in the driveway, who used to follow us to the neighbors houses up and down Beverly Ave. and wait for us outside to walk us home, all of our cats were healthy, happy and spent a lot of time outdoors.
~
It is my considered opinion as an experienced and seasoned Feline observer that to keep a cat imprisoned in a house is cruel punishment and against the natural order of things. Over the years, one cat got hit by a car, one was poisoned accidentally by the next door neighbor, one went away for two weeks only to crawl home with feline leukemia and die within hours, and a number saw their end at the Marblehead Veterinarian's Office after a full feline complement of years.
~
Owning a cat is a pain in the ass, because you end up caring for them as much as a kid, and then you outlive them in 15 years or so.
~
So when the Grandkids wanted us to get a kitten, Joanne and I headed over to the Marblehead animal shelter on Village St. to adopt. They were charging $180 bucks, but I figured that I was there so that was the deal.
~
Then we had to fill out an application, and they wanted to check our references. Then, they asked if the cat would be let outdoors, because they wouldn't allow any cat to be adopted that was subject to coyotes or cars on the street. In other words. they are in control of these poor indigent felines, and they know best.
~
I was polite though, as I sensed a certain "save the whales" essence starting to permeate the room. We exited and I told Joanne that we wouldn't be supporting their little kitty fiefdom with a purchase and would find a cat elsewhere.
~
Felt a little bad because I did like some of the cats and seemed to make a connection with one of them.
~
Then last night, I get a call for my "interview to adopt".
~
When I explained to the nice lady who seemed to know best all things feline that I felt that keeping a cat indoors was cruel, the conversation veered off quickly with a mutual declaration that "we have different philosophies."
~
Indeed we do, and I bet cats are not the extent of it.
~
If she doesn't have an Elizabeth Warren sign outside of her cat filled house, I'll be shocked.

Our basset hound is from the Salem shelter. They pull the same stuff but once you put down $250 for the free shelter dog that no one else wants well they become convinced that you understand the rules and will follow them. True Americans.

Weekend Work and French
I don't like to work on the weekends... Business style work I mean. The weekends are for diversion, like fishing or building Tommy O's deck. But this weekend, I had to devote extensively to Nanepashemet Telecom. The orders are piling in, which normally happens in the 4th quarter of the corporate world and we have to rise to meet the challenge. Which we will... MOAM style of course.
~
I did sneak a couple of peeks at the Patriots game and also visited Ryan in his new apartment. And got in some good firearms talk with Brendt D'Orio since that seems to be the topic de jour. (that's French for topic of the day.)

Red Squirrels and Dead Squirrels
Got a ton of response from you Peeps about which new piece I should purchase to add to my obsolete firearms collection that my Grandfather handed down to me.
~
When I think of how my Grandfather used to sleep with a loaded pistol under his pillow, and thought nothing of leaving me as a ten year old kid out on the side porch up in his Maine cabin with a .22 calibre rifle telling me to "shoot the phucking red squirrels" that he hated so much.... it's hard to believe that I turned out as such a well rounded, overall nice person.
~
Grampa backed me off of this squirrel duty after I put a round through his shed and splintered a rug on his wooden ladder.... plus I missed the phucking squirrel.
~
I know that this is starting to sound like a Tuna Lips vignette, but it really happened.
~
Anyway.... I had no idea there were so many Glock and Smith & Wesson afficionados out there. I was originally set on a Glock 19 or 23. Now I'm leaning heavily on the Smith & Wesson 38 or 380.
~
Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions, but I'm more confused than ever.
~
Maybe I'll just keep cleaning Gramps old collection.

If you're truly interested in plinking
squirrels, I'd suggest the Barrett .50 caliber. It's the only thing I use AND it
quite effectively gets rid of them. It also gets rid of any loose hanging
branches as well.

Permit Breakthroughs
Lately Peeps... Nanepashement Telecom has taken the science of Zoning permitting to new levels.
~
We have been pulling massive amounts of permits using a range of new and exciting techniques.
~
Naturally, I can't disclose these techniques in that they are trade secrets and company confidential, but rest assured that they are wicked effective... allowing us to pull multiple permits in one visit and completely manipulating the outcomes of zoning hearings.
~
We may have to seek the services a patent attorney soon.
