Colonial Pine Furniture

Peeps. I put this furniture up for sale on Craig's List, but would much rather convey it to a deserving Nanepashemet Peep. Let me know if you are interested.

Great Ads - Slowsky's and Cave Men

The irritations in these ads are hilarious.

The Turtle tolerating his wife and losing it.... the "Cave Man getting back with Tina" being humiliated. Don't you wonder why these things are funny? I don't know the psychological reason, but they make me laugh.

That's enough, Stop staring at them.

How much for your women? A camel and three bushels of figs for them. I throw in a tent suitable for festivities

Going Green

Big week. Can you feel it too?
~
By the end of the week, all of the leaves will be on the trees, and we'll be surfing on the Nanepashemet tsunami. Green all around. A spirit of newness and prosperity is in the air.
~
We'll do a gut check Friday to see if the optimism prevails.

Manatee at Feeder

Amazingly, I caught this rare shot of a Manatee just as it left the bird feeder on my deck.
~
It seemed to prefer the sunflower seeds.
~
Let's see if the Discovery Channel blows this off!!

Equal Rights for Rodents

I actually get a lot of grey squirrels in the feeder. I don't view them as a nuisance and I like them as much as the birds.
~
Avid Peeps will remember that I actually caught one on video, and submitted it to the Discovery Channel as the first recorded instance of squirrels feeding from a bird feeder.
~
No response from "Discovery".
~
They obviously don't care about really significant issues, although they probably get a ton of submittals from nuts.
~
Must be hard to sort through.

Regular Visitors

Birds are Cool.

How has your feeder been doing?

Tender Time

So I used my carefree Saturday to lay out the cedar seats for the Tender. Lots of trial and error on the bandsaw to get them to fit right. With the seats in, I can eliminate extensive sanding of the epoxy where it won't show. This should ultimately save me time. I'd love to say that we will launch in June, but there is bound to be time a consuming crisis that prevents a logical conclusion to this project.

Woe Unto Fish

Lately, a lot of you have been asking me about the boat launch date.
~
I've told Mid-Harbor Marine that I wanted the mooring ready by May 1, and Ryan Marine won't launch the boat until they are assured that Mid-Harbor is done. So I have to coordinate that. Ryan Marine will tune the motor, charge the battery and paint the bottom before putting the boat on the mooring.
~
In the meantime, I am going to replace the helm seats with a bench cushion that has rod holders that I am ordering from Boater's World. Ryan bought a new Garmin fish finder which Ryan Marine will install.
~
We have to epoxy down all of the screw holes at the hatches and rod panels which have become loose and the boat has to be thoroughly cleaned.
~
Finally, the WhaleEye and Marblehead graphics have to be applied to the sides.
~
With a little good weather this year, we will send many tuna to fish heaven.

No Problem

This is the first Saturday coming that I can remember not having to attend to a must-do crisis. There is nothing that I have to do tomorrow!!!! No taxes, no moving, no lifting, no painting - no nothing.
~
I suppose that I could manufacture some task that has to be done, or dire consequences will occur.
~
But there is no pressing priority.
~
Seems like the perfect opportunity to work on the Tender, or lay down some more basement tiles, or repair my oak desk, or all three. There must be something that I'm forgetting. It can't be this carefree.

Bring it ON

Definitely a power day.

Great conversations. Building a surfboard to ride the tsunami.

Week 17 - Peeps of the Week

Peep of the Week day at last. Thursday night is the best night of the workweek. Not just because of the POTW stuff. You have one more day of work left and you can feel the weekend coming.
~
Thursday Night is the evening of hope. I like to think that Nanepashemet has something to do with it. Not that I am searching for any type of humanitarian award or anything. Although some of you may feel that this would be an appropriate gesture.
~
The fact is that selecting the Peep of the Week just isn't that easy. You have to be in a deep meditative state, where your thoughts flow unimpeded by ego or emotion. There is a purity, a higher consciousness at work here that can't be turned on with the flick of a switch.
~
All of the great masters made it look easy.
~
Tiger swinging a golf club.
Seinfeld telling a joke.
Shakespeare writing a sonnet.
Orville Reddenbacher popping popcorn.
Nestor picking the Peep of the Week.
Jordan dunking a basketball.
~
Do you see my point???? OK, so this is a stalling tactic. I might as well get on with it.

There it is. Another masterpiece of sorting through the annoying and inspirational on an entirely subjective basis. I have to rest now.
