Heading to Essex for some Fried Clams this evening with Tommy O and Linda O' Shea. Someday soon, science will proclaim that platters of fried clams, fries and onion rings are essential to maintaining a healthly life for overweight white guys like me.
~
Until then, we will lead the way in consuming copious amounts of these tasty bi-valve mollusks that taste so good when breaded, deep fried, and served with a little salt and pepper, ketchup and tartar sauce.

Three Jamesons
Peeps... I'm feeling a little mellow tonight.
~
Went down to the BYC and had two Jamesons, plus one more together with dinner with my favorite wife, Joanne. Joanne is the mother of my three kids and is really handy to have around.... among other things. She is my life partner, and when I die, my life insurance policy will go to her. But enough of the romantic stuff.
~
Tomorrow, it will be a big push in the morning to get the railings up on Tommy O's classic Nanepashemet Deck, then we will probably take a harbor cruise out on the WhaleEye. The end of the boating season will be here before we know it, and the WhaleEye has hardly gotten a workout in, so we'll have to get some time in there.
~
Sometime before the weekend is over, we have to attend to some tax details at Nanepashemet Telecom, and also hope to share a beer with some of the kids if they drop by.
~
In the meantime, I powerwashed the pram and will be stripping off the nasty Wireless Tower Weatherproof that I used as gunwale bumpers..... A big mistake as the weatherproofing material never cured and remained sticky and messy.
~
My new theory is to use the PVC bending tool that we bought for the Hartford job, and bend some PVC to use as Pram bumpers. At least the PVC won't rub off on the neighboring boats causing a lot of pissed off complaints to the Harbormaster.
~
Probably won't get to all of this shit this weekend... but at least we are past the three Jameson milestone

Presidential Boast
Lots of rhetoric at the Democratic National Convention about President Obama taking down Osama Bin Ladin.
~
Mr. President.... to paraphrase your admonition to the nation's business owners.... "You didn't kill Osama... somebody else did."
~
I'll give you credit for not phucking it up though.

Pram Rescue
Today, I finally got around to getting the my Pram which the Marblehead HarborMaster had towed to a mooring at Riverhead Beach. Seems that the wireless connector weatherproofing that I used as gunwale bumpers was rubbing off on neighoring prams on the Village Wharf rings, but that's a whole other story that I'll maybe tell you later.
~
I put the Tender down the ramp from the trailer, then roped it off with a square knot on the ramp pier piling. Then I pulled the F-150 up the ramp and parked the trailer. When I got out of the truck and headed down the ramp, the Tender was rapidly drifting into the Harbor.
~
Wrong Knot.
~
I figured that the water to the Tender would only be waist deep and was surprized when I was quickly up to my neck holding my iPhone high in my left hand. Then swimiming hard to reach the Tender and tow it back to the Ramp in my best Lifesaving sidestroke.
~
I figured that this was the only phucked up episode that I was to encounter on this little chore.
~
Wrong, Kemosabe.
~
I got back to the shore and this nice elderly couple asked if I wanted them to watch my Tender while I went for some dry clothes. I declined the kind offer and set out get into the Tender and row out the the Pram which was about 50 yards out on the mooring.
~
When I got to the Pram, it was filled with a green slimy, rainwater residue which was a result of the thunderstorm downpours that we experienced over the last few days. Amazing how heavy a pram full of water is.
~
To make a long and increasingly boring story short, I finally got the Pram into the back of the F-150 with the help of a by-stander from Castine, Maine who had a lot of cool stuff to tell me about wooden boats.... especially the designs that John Gardner had published.
~
I guess this story doesn't have much of a punch line. But that's your problem. What do you want me to do???? Make up some fantastic freaking ending?????
~
Publish your own Blog if you think this shit is easy.

Embarassed in Boston
How the Hell does this guy continue to get elected as Mayor of Boston? He must be the balls at constituent services because otherwise, he is such an embarrassment with his lockstep liberal outcries and mumbling messages.

Close to the Border
Great Stuff, but the debate is how do we continue to pay for this?
That's what the Dems seem to ignore.
Money doesn't grow on trees and it doesn't come from the Government.
It comes from the taxes that we bear. And we are getting closer to the Border of this.

No Spew, No Hurl
The MSNBC Talking Heads, especially Rachel Madow, seem to have taken their blood pressure medicine and a low dose of Valium tonight as the Democratic National Convention debuts tonight.
~
In a much calmer demeanor from how we saw them last week covering the Republicans, these objective journalists are now telling us like it is... or specifically.... how they want us to believe. They are completely happy and thoroughly transformed as they bask in Leftest rhetoric of the Democrats.
~
But don't take my word for it... you have to see this disengenuous act as it is and form your own opinion. Tune in to these Whackjobs. It only hurts for a while and is worth it to see for yourself.
~
I would suggest that you go to C-Span first, then change the channel to MSNBC. That way, when you feel the vomit start to surge, you can hit the "Last" button, which will automatically switch to C-Span and you will actually see what is happening at the Convention. The urge to spew will subside.
~
Course you'll still be watching these "Progressives" but at least you won't hurl all over the couch.
~
Peeps... I hate to admit it, but it takes all kinds to make the world turn. As much as I want government to get the hell out of the way so that I can take care of myself and my family, there are those who have no freaking idea of how to do it for themselves, and need a helping hand from us in the form of the Government.
~
You just have to guard against the extremists on both sides. And these MSNBC ideologues are a great example of the type you have to guard against.

Debate Without Hate
One of the great things about this great country is that we are able to express our opinions and back our candidates without the fear of physical reprisals.
~
There has never been a forced exchange of power based upon election results here. We debate fiercely, sometimes in bad taste, and sometimes in an irritating fashion. But despite the vigor and rancor, Americans are tolerant of each other, and supportive of the will of the majority.
~
I may not understand the logic of your support for a particular candidate... I may even get annoyed and vocal about your exclaimations and rhetoric... but I ultimately support your right to make a choice.
~
Even if you want a fake Indian to be your Senator.
~
So this season, we will again see the amazing American system of tolerance of others, freedom of speech, and debate without hate.
~
If Obama gets re-elected, we may not understand it, we may not like it, but we will tacitly support it.

Channeling
Harvey Rowe, Lisa Panakio Rowe, and Superpeep Maria Rowen came by for dinner tonight on the deck. Maria brought some incredible crab stuffed mushrooms, and we did our best with the lemon pepper chicken breasts on the grill with some garden salads.
~
I had one or three Dark and Stormies and listened to Harvey's incredible story of his friend, Kim Garbarino's swim across the English Channel this month. Harvey worked the boat politics while Craig Lewin did the in the water coaching as Kim Garabino braved fifty seven degree water to swim the 22 mi. channel in over 13 hours.
~
Harvey's rendition of the effort was spellbinding as Kim completed the feat after wishing to quit after the initial six hours. It was absolutely a mind over matter accomplishment.
~
It was a great trip to London for Harvey and his team and I'm really happy for their success.

Fitting It In
It's Labor Day.... traditional end of Summer. Always a bittersweet holiday, as you look at the summer that slipped away and all of the stuff that you wanted to do... then life's obligations get in the way, and the summer is over.
~
Once again this summer, the fish and lobsters around Salem Sound received a major stay of execution, as my activities drew me away from a vigorous pursuit.
~
But if the truth be known, we soon will be entering into my favorite season of this great New England region... Autumn. It's warm enough to do a ton of stuff outside, and cool enough to be comfortable doing it. The only problem is that business usually gets crazy as we enter the last quarter of the year, as my corporate customers contemplate the boxes that must be checked for bonuses to be awarded.
~
Someday, after I make a business score, I will retire. Then fish will die, boats will be built, books will be written, banjos will be played, and grandkids will get spoiled.
~
Until then, I just have to fit this stuff in.

POTW Week 35
For the third time this summer, you Peeps have come through with the ultimate gesture of class and sophistication.... we have an automatic Peep of the Week selection.
~
This week it was Tommy O who presented me with a bottle of the King of Scotch... 16 year old Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whiskey.
~
I really appreciate the gesture since I had just polished off the bottle that Brady Boyle had judiciously submitted at the occasion of asking to marry my daughter. And the bottle that Nathaniel Clarke brought over when he introduced us to Katarina Simundic hardly lasted that evening....
~
So Tommy kept me from the ackward circumstance of not having the King in the liquor cabinet inventory.
ANNOUNCING....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 35th Week of 2012.
Tommy O' Shea (Automatic Lagavulin Rule)
Will Nestor
Kyle Raiche
Liz Kelleher
Wayne Webster
Ann Romney
Can you imagine the shame of having to buy a bottle of the King for myself?

Recharge
Amazing how it got to be Friday so fast. New Haven trips always screw up my week, and this trip ended with some beers at the Indigo Bar with the other Mountain of a Man, Bobby Brown..... A huge highlight of the frantic week.
~
I also took my biggest customer and his family out for some quality time on the WhaleEye, and the fantastic sights of Marblehead and Manchester Harbors didn't dissapoint.
~
Plus I stayed up late to watch the Republicans rally at their convention. It's too bad that politics brings out the worst in people.... especially those who start off with a rather low base of credibility to begin with. I'm still amazed about the amount of spin that the national broadcast networks put on the output, rather than let us idiots figure it out for ourselves.
~
Anyway... it's a long weekend, and time to recharge some batteries.

Sham of Journalism
If you want to see what biased journalism is, tune into the Republican National Convention on MSNBC.
~
I actually studied journalism in college and wrote some articles for the Daily Collegian out at UMASS, Amherst. Professor Arthur Musgrave was a Libertarian who basically taught that the truth would eventually win out with a free exchange of ideas by sincere and objective reporting.
~
At the time, with the Vietnam War raging and the Civil Rights Movement thrusting forward, it seemed that the only rational viewpoint was the liberal stance provided by the Democratic Party.
~
Yet, from Professor Musgrave's influence , I never did vote in a Democratic Primary and maintained an unenrolled "Independent" status to this day. In those times, I was firmly aligned with the liberal viewpoint, but if these MSNBC "Journalists" are liberals, then I don't want anything to do with that stance.
~
These people are neurotically obsessed in opposition to the Convention Speeches that they are supposedly "covering".
~
In the convention hall, the Republicans have set up a Debt Clock, showing the current growth in the National Debt. The MSNBC Crew attacked that with a smirk and some kind of chart that sought to prove that the Republicans were responsible for our debt.
~
The Freaking Debt is just that... the Debt. Why would anyone attack a clock that measured it?
~
Then the "Journalists" turned their rancor on the misinterpretation of Obama's "If you have a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else did." quote saying that it had been taken out of context. I listened to that quote over and over and posted it in this Blog.
Sorry, but these talking spinheads can't convince me that Obama didn't leak his misunderstanding of free enterprize. There was no misinterpretation on my part, and they can spin all they want.
~
If you click back and forth between C-Span and MSNBC, you would think there was no convention in place as MSNBC shows no speakers, only talking heads and now Hurricane Issac Coverage, while C-Span is actually showing the speakers. Senator Kelly Ayotte of NH is speaking now while MSNBC is taking the place of the Weather Channel.... literally.
~
Professor Musgrave was at the end of his career when I sat in his class in 1972, and I hope he is still with us. And I wish I could hear his take on this sham of journalism that we are witnessing tonight.

Indonesian Race Card
As expected, the Kerry D' Orio Yoga pants are flying off of the shelves here at Nanepashemet.
~
I put in a call to the Indonesian sweat shop to see if we could step up production a bit.... maybe pay the help an extra $10 bucks a month or something as an incentive... but they were testy as hell.
~
Seems a couple of them are a little pissed at me when they found out that I believed Obama was born in Hawaii rather than being the first Indonesian who became President of the United States.
~
Obviously the Indonesians never watch MSNBC, or they would know that this type of statement is a major league play of the race card..... as despicably racist as you can get. Romney will certainly roast in Republican Hell for his reference to it in Michigan the other day.
~
Peeps.... here's the deal.... It's hard enough for me to get the Indonesians to meet minimum production standards of the Nanepashemet Clothing line at rock bottom third world labor rates.
~
Don't be putting it on me to get them to be politically correct at the same time!!!
~
I may be a Mountain of a Man, but you are pressing the limit.

Amazing POTUS
There is a great deal of mystery about our President.
~
Some say he is a radical communist looking to dismantly America.
~
I just think that is an amazing story that this guy, who was shuffled back and forth from Indonesia to Hawaii in his youth, gained an Ivy League education but nobody knows his coursework or grades, then spent his poltical formative years among radicals in Chicago.... ended up being elected President of the United States of America.
~
It's true that I get aggravated by his narcissism, and seeming lack of depth and experience, but I continue to be genuinely amazed that this guy is the POTUS.

Dealing from a Top Deck
This is not a heliocopter pad. It is the present state of 2011 POTY, Tommy O' Shea's, deck that we finished planking at 1:00 PM this afternoon.
~
We'll be putting up the railings, adding the stairs and the pool safety gate... and this project will be taking its rightful place as an authentic Nanepashemet Deck.... the pinnacled pedigree of contemporary outdoor deck technology.
~
Course if Tommy and Linda wanted to use it as a heliocopter pad, that would be no problem. It is that freaking solid.
~
Tommy is thrilled and who can blame him??? His legendary Coors Light stocked cooler will be up there in no time.

Kerry's Pants
It's taken a while for the Indonesian sweat shop to gear up for this latest item in the Nanepashemet Blogging Apparel line....
~
the Kerry D'Orio Yoga Pants.
~
Inspired by 2012 Reigning Peep of the Year, Kerry D' Orio, these pants should only be worn if you are serious about getting your Nanepashmet Mojo on.
~
These are already flying off of the counters in Suite 1-A, so don't take your time in making an order or you could be left out of the most important fashion statement made at the end of this summer.
~
All proceeds to go to the JJ Fund.

Abortion Issue
If the political ads by Obama and Warren are designed to make me support them, they are hugely ineffective. They are so condescending and insulting to our intelligence that they make me yearn for Romney and Scott to emerge victorious.
~
Especially the abortion ads.
~
I think that abortion is the taking of a human life. Roe v. Wade says that this is legal.... and a woman who has become pregnant has the choice to end the life of the human fetus growing in her... without legal consequence.
~
But this doesn't mean that abortion is moral or right.... it only means that it is legal. Killing a fetus is just that. You may rationalize that a woman has a right to kill the fetus that has taken life in her body.... that you are "Pro-Choice".
~
And I really don't want to hear what the Catholic Church has to say about this. That is an institution that regularly tortured heretics and Jews and burned people at the stake for hundreds of years in the not too distant past. So they can shut the phuck up.
~
I'll be working this thing out for myself without Papist Pontification.
~
Our society condones the taking of human life. We celebated the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and rightly so. Certain heinous crimes are subject to capital punishment in a majority of the States. Is being impregnated by a forced rape a heinous crime that means that the resulting fetus should be killed????
~
It is a decision that I don't wish on anybody.... but is the cornerstone of the "Pro-Choice" advocates.
~
I guess where I end up on this issue is that Abortion should not be a convenient choice. You shouldn't be able to kill a fetus because you don't think you can afford a baby or you'd rather be doing something else. Plus there's a ton of tried and true ways to avoid getting pregnant in the first place. So a convenient abortion is a wrong choice culmination of a series of wrong choices.
~
Abortion for your own simple convenience is murder and deserves to be defined as such, whether legal or not.
~
God created a life for you to nourish... it is a part of His Plan..... you shouldn't rationalize it away.
~
But the final decision... to kill or not to kill should be yours. You are your own judge in a case involving Capital Punishment of your fetus.
~
You will have to deal with God though.... and the phoney business called "Planned Parenthood" can rot in Hell. I'm with Romney on this all the way. There is no way that my government should pay for your abortion.

And I really don't want to hear what the Catholic Church has to say about this. That is an institution that regularly tortured heretics and Jews and burned people at the stake for hundreds of years in the not too distant past. So they can shut the phuck up.

I'll be working this thing out for myself without Papist Pontification.
~
Our society condones the taking of human life. We celebated the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and rightly so. Certain heinous crimes are subject to capital punishment in a majority of the States. Is being impregnated by a forced rape a heinous crime that means that the resulting fetus should be killed????
~
It is a decision that I don't wish on anybody.... but is the cornerstone of the "Pro-Choice" advocates.
~
I guess where I end up on this issue is that Abortion should not be a convenient choice. You shouldn't be able to kill a fetus because you don't think you can afford a baby or you'd rather be doing something else. Plus there's a ton of tried and true ways to avoid getting pregnant in the first place. So a convenient abortion is a wrong choice culmination of a series of wrong choices.
~
Abortion for your own simple convenience is murder and deserves to be defined as such, whether legal or not.
~
God created a life for you to nourish... it is a part of His Plan..... you shouldn't rationalize it away.
~
But the final decision... to kill or not to kill should be yours. You are your own judge in a case involving Capital Punishment of your fetus.
~
You will have to deal with God though.... and the phoney business called "Planned Parenthood" can rot in Hell. I'm with Romney on this all the way. There is no way that my government should pay for your abortion.
Ending the WorkWeek
You hate to make the 3 1/2 hour drive to New Haven County and come up empty handed.

Which didn't happen today as we tended to business in three separate localities with complete adherence to Nanepashemet Standards of successful business results.
~
I know we're good, but even I get impressed when we hit for the cycle once in a while.
~
One more big push, and this week is a wrap.
~
Tomorrow, we will be testing our considerable permitting skill at a particularly challenging city on the North Shore, putting the finishing touches on some critical reporting, then maybe get some planks laid at Tommy O's deck before calling it quits with Dale and Gail at the Dolphin.

Please don't make a big deal out of this. Even though the pace would fell the best of you, it is pretty routine for a Mountain of a Man.
