I have a Facebook Friend who called President Trump an "Orange Nazi" this morning in a post.
The problem with this juvenile and non-intellectual approach is that it negates the merits of any points presented in the argument.
I've seen my own Congressman, Seth Moulton, who has the potential to be an incredible leader, use this approach.
Grow Up.
In a Free Society, we must have a free exchange of ideas. Calling people wild and inappropriate names negates the dynamic of this, and is completely ineffective. Present your argument... that is fine. But respecting the fact that others have differences of opinion is the only way to make your own judgments gain acceptance.
More and more, it seems like the adults are in charge again, and the bratty kids are whining and throwing stones.

Resolution Review
So far, I've kept to my Resolution to lose at least a pound per week and have shed 10 lbs. or so. Twenty minutes on the Cybex before any shower and watching my Carb intake has been the ticket. The exercise by itself only maintains my current weight.... adding the Low Carb diet has been crucial.
Most days, I roll out of bed and hop right on the Cybex after morning coffee. As my friend, Lisa, used to say, it's better to get it out of the way early in the morning. Agree Lisa.
But I feel a lot better with this small start. Lots of miscellaneous aches and pains that I had taken to be a sign of age have diminished or even disappeared.
Joanne and I have gotten into a pattern of eating meat and salad at dinner, and I usually have three scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast. Juice, Coffee and raw nuts fill the need to snack. I'm not going overboard though.... Bent Water Pearl Beer, the Nanepashemet Classic Winter Cocktail, and Jameson's Irish have not been banned.
And If I have pizza or pasta, I'm not vilifying myself. I don't want this to be obsessive.... just want to incorporate a basic low Carb habit into my eating patterns.
But this path has been tread before. And I have veered off. Just have to keep it up day by day.
A big plus has been that work at Nanepashemet has gotten back to the physical construction mode as we prepare to flip the property at 70 Nanepashemet Street. It's nice to get out from behind a computer, and probably a lot more healthy. This morning though I will be concentrating on the bathroom remodel at Nanepashemet World Headquarters.
Joanne doesn't want to invite any dinner guests over until the remodel is done... and I really don't blame her. The bathroom is ugly and gross. So I ripped out the toilet and sink yesterday, will be working in the walls today and hopefully install the maple hardwood floor tomorrow.
That may have to take the place of the Cybex this weekend.
No work on the Chamberlain Marblehead Gunning Dory at the shop today, but I'm ahead of schedule on that project.
Have a nice weekend..... next week..... PATRIOTS SUPERBOWL!!!!

Inauguration Day
Today marks the end of political doublespeak in Washington. It is the end of political correctness. It is honesty with the human flaws that honesty exposes. To those who like to have soothing lullaby's from their POTUS, you will be sorely disappointed, But your whining is not reaching the ears of the American Heartland who restored the train of progress on the Trump Train Track.
There is an undertow of joy and celebration that out of touch Libbie Elitists and the Main Stream Media can't admit and won't admit.
God Bless our new President Donald Trump. May you keep tweeting your honest emotions directly to the Heartland that swept you to office. May your God Given management skills restore common sense policy, economic prosperity and true fairness to our great country!
Go Trump!
Go Tom Brady!
Go New England Patriots!

Narrative Killer.
Sorry for the biased authors of the Liberal Narrative.
I know Trump is supposed to be racist, but unfortunately he received the Ellis Island Award contemporaneously with Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali.
Moonbat heads set to EXPLODE in 3....2....1.!!!!!

Time for Bean
I've been putting off the purchase of a pair of those cool LL Bean Boots with the rubber soles now for a couple of years. But now that the Liberal Moonbats are howling for a boycott of Bean because one member of the Board contributed to Trump's campaign..... time to put in my order.

Peep of the Year - 2017
So in the last day or so, both wife, Joanne and Daughter-in-Law Kim have asked about the POTY selection for the year 2017.
I admit that I am a little tardy in making this annual momentous announcement, but it is for a good reason and falls appropriately in the Cosmic Plan that the Nanepashemet Blog chronicles from time to time.
Tom McMahon ~ 2007
Lauren Rathbone ~ 2008
Michael "Murph" Murphy ~ 2009
Jeremy Johnson ~ 2010
Tommy O'Shea ~ 2011
Kerry D'Orio ~ 2012
Brady Boyle ~ 2013
Kim Nestor ~ 2014
Pam Nestor ~ 2015
Nathaniel Clarke ~ 2016
These ten individuals all wear the Nanepashemet Peep of the Year (POTY) crown.
Each has had his or her life profoundly changed over the course of their reign.
Some will argue that the Peep of the Year designation has metaphysical power of cosmic proportions. This view is pretentious, preposterous, and prone to extreme exaggeration. And I wouldn't even mention it here if it wasn't for the unfortunate circumstance that I, as your MOAM, harbor the exact same conviction.
How else can you explain the powerful undertow that propels these POTY's in confronting their Karmic Challenges..... each and every freaking day since attaining the ultimate Peep of the Year Plateau?
And now... in 2017.... we come to number Eleven.
Eleven is a very important number to those who dabble in Numerology. It signifies an awakening of awareness in our true potential. This Eleventh POTY is a designation that has required a great deal of thought, meditation, and solemn deliberation.
So don't be giving me a lot of WTF style backtalk about the how and the why.... For the last ten years, I have been explaining that the ritual of the choice methodology can never be revealed.... and this stipulation will not be pierced this year.... even if it is the Eleventh POTY.
ANNOUNCING......
NANEPASHEMET PEEP OF THE YEAR 2017 .... Christopher Crawford.
Congratulations/Condolences Chris. For better or for worse, your life has forever changed.

DEM BS
Peeps....
Did you ever notice that Dems like to change the names of stuff ? Kind of like Propagandists used to do in the Cold War?
So Illegal Aliens now becomes " Undocumented Immigrants".
Global Warming becomes "Climate Change".
I even remember when Gov. Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts started to call Taxation, "Revenue Enhancement".
It is a form of thought control when the facts don't seem to fit the Liberal Narrative.
Now Dems prefer to be called "Progressives".
There is a word for all of this.... It is called "Bullshit".

Solvable Ripping Problem
This is a very general schedule for building the Chamberlain Marblehead Gunning Dory.
| JANUARY | CUT AND ROUT STRIPS |
| FEBRUARY | Build Steam System and ADD STRIP PLANKS TO FRAMES |
| MARCH | ADD STRIP PLANKS TO FRAMES |
| APRIL | FAIR AND FIBERGLASS OUTER AND INNER HULL |
| MAY | CONSTRUCT INTERIOR SEATING AND MOTOR WELL |
| JUNE | INSTALL MOTOR AND LAUNCH |
I think it is doable, but I have been experiencing a little trouble ripping the twenty foot 5/4 red cedar planks into 1/4" inch strips. The board seems to drift from the table saw fence after about 15 feet or so. And if I clamp feather boards too tight, the board binds the blade and the saw blows a fuse.
A little perplexing, but nothing a MOAM can't solve.
