Happy Event

katelyn's wedding shower at the Boston Yacht Club came off without  hitch yesterday.

My strategy is working.

Nuptial Necessity

Tomorrow is Kate's wedding shower, and the rituals will now commence... Ending with the final consummate event at the end of this summer.

Here's the deal, Peeps....

I'm going to enjoy the crap out of this entire process...and there is nothing that any asshole can do which will deter me from my state of perfect contentment.

So if anybody thinks that they can say or do something plucked up and designed to annoy me even a little bit.....you will be sadly disappointed.   The only reaction from me will me a sick and sadistic looking smile as I avoid  any dipshit's attempt at petty aggravation and move forward to the next moment of happiness and contentment.

After September, when I return to my normally vindictive and vengeful persona... All bets are off.

Shuffling the Race Cards

OK Peeps......
It's time for your MOAM to sound in on this Zimmerman-Martin case.
~
I've been holding back.... actually not wanting to enter this land of highly charged politically correctness.
~
Peeps... right from the start... if you ever find me under you, getting my head slammed into a concrete curb after breaking my nose and  while you say shit like, "this is the day you die".... then I'm going to pull out my Smith and Wesson 380 and bid you a fond adieu.
~
I don't care how old you are.
I don't care about what your wearing.
I don't care about your race or country of origin.
~
That said.... a jury heard all of the other facts, and found the Hispanic guy innocent.
~
Not sure where race fits into this.   And Obama naturally was a Boob to say that Treyvon Martin could have been his son.   So Prez.... your kid was found in school with burglary tools and stolen items.... and was expelled twice in six months????  In fact, he was 200 miles away from his home at the time of the incident which occurred during his suspension from high school.   Looks like you have some serious parenting to attend to if you think that Martin was one of yours..
~
This kid obviously had some issues and Zimmerman was stupid to ever get out of his car when he reported this to E-911.  But being stupid isn't a crime.  (Thank the Good Lord).  I don't know how Martin ended up on top of Zimmerman... pummeling him.  I assume the jury and the people in that court of law do and deliberated long on how this occurred.
~
To all of those who think this is a racial thing.... I was around when OJ got off after slitting the throats of two white people.   And I was in the room when the Blacks in attendance cheered his acquittal.  Was that racial?    You bet your ass it was.
~
This time, two minorities met in a tragic confrontation.   The Hispanic guy got beat up good but lived.   The police didn't charge him initially until the PC patrol whipped this up into an issue thinking it was white on black.   Oh... the guy is Hispanic... what the hell, let's string him up anyway.
~
The jury found him innocent after reviewing all of the facts.
~
It's too bad all around.  A troubled black kid and a commando Hispanic guy in a sad and tragic confrontation.   Shame on all of the jerks that have used this as an excuse to play an irresponsible race card.

Gesture of Appreciation

The prism in the window put this rainbow right on my Washburn WD10ADE acoustical electrical guitar this morning.
~
I think it could be a sign that the Universe appreciates the late night stylings that I wield from this ax.
~
Or maybe not.

July Stripers

It's been a productive fishing season so far this summer as I've cleaned three keepers so far, including these two that Will and Ryan caught (Will's first) and one landed by future son-in-law, Brady Boyle.  Will reeled in his by himself and said he got really tired.   Hopefully, many more to come for him.

Jubilation for Juicing

Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor

We bought this cool new juicer from Amazon and are moving into a regime of juicing fruits and vegetables everyday.  Cutting down on carbs too, but nothing to excess.  After a bit of intestinal disruption, the immediate result is an increase in energy and an overall sense of feeling good.

~

And I've found that when you break down and have that burger or pizza, you feel fuller much faster and don't tend to gorge yourself.  It's as though your stomach has constricted.  So you don't loathe yourself for falling off the wagon.   You just eat less and enjoy it when you stray.

~

For the time being, we plan to juice in the morning and afternoon and have a meat and vegetable dinner.  In August, we'll go for another multi-day juice only detox fast.

~

With Kate's wedding on the way in September, it should be easy to keep this program in tow ... and then we can measure the weight loss effects.

Stay Classy San Diego

A key reason to question the media.

Environmentally Policed

So we are out at Halfway Rock yesterday, fishing for bait and having a good time, when we are pulled over by the Environmental Police who needed to board.  Checked for registration, life preservers, flares, fire extinguishers and fishing licenses.  With seven people on board, we had only six life preservers, so they wrote us up with a $100 fine.
~
Even with floatable cushions.  We were short a few salt water fishing licenses and confessed this, yet we had two on board along with a lobstering permit.
~
So we absolutely met the spirit and intent of the laws that they were seeking to enforce and portrayed no public nuisance of threat whatsoever.   No other boats were in hearing range.
~
I guess we looked like we were having too much fun on a Saturday afternoon.  The nice officers spent about 20 minutes checking out our drivers licenses on the internet and writing the citation.
~
Land of the Free?   Give me a break.
Definitely Home of the Brave though.

Juice for Life

Coming up Short

We only made it half way into our three day juice fast, because of the deep fried striped bass chunks that we made of Ryan and Will's Keeper Catch.
~
I find no shame in that.
~
You try holding off from a plate of fresh stripped bass.   Breaded and deep fried to a crisp golden brown.
~
There's no way.
~
So today, we decided to juice in the morning and throughout the afternoon, then eat healthy for the evening meal.
~
That's a regime I can live with.... and we'll see how it fares in the weight loss battle.  But I'm not going to weigh myself everyday.   That just causes a downer if the scale is not cooperating, and who needs to judge everyday anyway.  
~
Maybe this way, I can extend this into a long term habit.

POTW Week 27
