Karmic Justice
~
Just remember that people with axes to grind and negative motives tend to self destruct. Their transparency becomes obvious despite the rhetoric.
~
Don't worry. Justice ultimately prevails. The law of Karma dictates that.
Republican Reality
Does this women look crazy to you??
~
Trust me, she's not.
~
That's a special peep, Lisa Rowe, who still doesn't know that Barach Obama was elected President of the United States.
~
Don't break the news on her quickly. It will be like waking someone who's sleepwalking.
~
Wait till she finds out that Al Franken is a Senator from Minnesota.

Everything that we intended to accomplish in the business meeting came out better than expected.
~
It's like the turning point in "Step Brothers" when Will Farrell asks John Riley....
~
"Did we just become Best Friends?"
~
"Yep."

Sweating the Small Stuff
~
That's not to say that I don't do the executive sort of things at Nanepashemet. Especially when we have to pitch new business.
~
But usually, we don't have to be executives and get sweaty at construction sites on the same day.
~
Tomorrow will be different. We'll be finishing up a site in the morning, then pitching an account by lunchtime. Not sure how I will deal with the sweat issue.

Philosohical Phallout
~
It just kind of slipped out.
~
I mean, I'm not a freaking guru or something.
~
I'm not forming a cult or anything.
~
So don't be pledging me your life long loyalty and asking me to father your children.
~
It was all a big misunderstanding.
Life, Liberty...
~
These are rights that say that the rank and file of us can live to freely try to find happiness.
~
When you reflect on the seemingly tormented life of Michael Jackson, it becomes obvious that talent and wealth do not guarantee happiness. So many celebrities seem to live a life of pain amid their possessions. Even when you can totally control your environment, as Jackson did, happiness and contentment are elusive.
~
The answer seems obvious.
~
Pursuing happiness is not the pursuit of things, or talent, or relationships.
~
The Pursuit of Happiness is a search to find a way to see the good in all things.... to see the glass as half full.... to be comfortable in your own skin.
~
The Pursuit of Happiness is an inner journey to let your soul resonate in harmony with any surrounding that you choose to associate. James Taylor sang, "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time." Happiness is that natural state of the universe.... with electrons harmoniously rotating around protons and neutrons whether you are Michael Jackson or a piece of granite.
~
Happiness is a choice. You can choose to see the harmony in each passing moment, or you can resist and long for a different moment or environment causing anxiety and discord.
~
If you can't see the the harmony in your current situation, then pretend that you can.... because it is there. You just are not tuned into it. I know of no person, myself included, that doesn't have some massive adversity that imperils their well being and state of mind. But each adversity carries its open or hidden benefit, despite the apparent absurdness of this assertion.
~
Don't judge the rightness or wrongness of the situation. We are eternal beings and each experience has its lessons and insights for us that benefit and enrich us for the long haul. In the context of eternity, all adversity is just a detail.
~
Nobody can give you happiness. It is your personal choice. The Pursuit of Happiness is to constantly remember to choose happiness in each moment of time.
~
You can choose to embrace this, or to ridicule and degrade it.
Again... it is all up to you. But open your eyes and test it before you fade back to black.
~
Choose happiness. Bitterness, hate and despair suck compared to it.

Photogenic
~
I noticed two people at different times taking a photo of me in the Tender.
~
Since people don't ordinarily take random photos of me, especially when I am currently solvent and haven't any pissed off creditors, I have to believe that the attraction is the Tender and not me.
~
But then again, you never know.... being the rough, tough, hard to bluff, damn good looking mountain of a man that I am.

Boss Man
~
It was Friday, I already had completed a ton of stuff for a very successful workweek so I was thinking of taking the day off. I'm the boss of Nanepashemet Telecom... right??? I can do whatever I freaking want.... Right????
~
So I was ready to report on the morning conference call, then kick back and start the weekend..... and then the waves starting hitting the beach.
~
Wave after Wave.
~
Things didn't stop until I finally pulled the Ford F150 back up to the house at 5:10 PM.
~
So much for being the Boss.

You needs a broader spectrum of workin' stiffs to horse whip to do yer biddings, that's all. Many a summer day I spent sippin' corn likker and pink lemonade with a barefooted harlot fanning me whilst I spectatin' the lesser folk fufillin' my obligations to Colonel Sartoris, he of the old stars and bars, bossman of the Chickesaw county.

We rebaited the traps and if the same production occurs, we should have about 25 of the tasty crustaceans available for the 4th of July celebration cookouts. Remind me to pick up some more butter and Old Bay Spice before then.

The "P" Words
The morning news is really into the story of the South Carolina Republican governor, Mark Sanford who went AWOL for a hot date in Argentina.
~
Sex sells.
~
Plus Sanford was a Republican Presidential Maybe, who had the audacity to criticize President Clinton when he diddled Monica Lewinsky.
~
So often, those who stray into the swamp of sexual scandal have a history of criticism of others indiscretions.
~
I personally believe that unless you are screwing with me or mine, where you point your pecker is not a part of public policy.
~
But it's probably proper for policiticians to keep their pee pee in their pants.

Nice use of alliteration in making your point about public policy, pointing peckers and your peeps.

You Can Bank On It
~
Mountain of a Man historians will note that I used to deal with the banks all of the time in the 80's before the savings and loan crisis brought everything to a crash. I always felt comfortable with bank talk. Business finance holds a lot less mystery to me than a cellular antenna installation. Although there's really not a heck of a lot of mystery to installing antennas.
~
Anyway, I always vowed that if I got on my feet again after the 80's collapse, I would never again leverage business through financing.
~
But here we go again.
~
Maybe this time, I won't get that "Nothing Can Go Wrong" bullshit attitude that characterized my last go around.
~
This time, I'm really sure of what can go wrong. And there's no way I'm going to go through that crap again.

Ise, too, am wisened for havin' kept my moneys with so called bank & "trusts", only to have the whole thing go south just acause of somethin' I said, or dun, or maybe I exposed my weddin' tackle, and then find the bank & trust feller run off with his wife's cousin, all the while usin' my cash to bankroll a stag film starring the before menshoned cousin, who I comes to find out was with child due to fornicatin' with the boys in her sophomore english class. And that movie was my idea. John Ford was a major influence in my creative uprearin,' as was John Holmes. That banker screwed me.
We discuss such matters, and the unduly influencin' of internationalized bankers on the US of A every now and agin, like minded folk, down the holler, burn us a fire now and again. Real hush hush stuff. Sorta.
Evidence.

Further evidence that there is a God.

Weather for the Week
~
A reprieve for the lobsters.
~
Now it looks like we're in for a whole week of this. Which is probably not at bad thing for the grass seed that we put on the dirt patch called our front lawn. But it doesn't bode well for all of the grounding cadwelds that we have to accomplish for Nanepashemet Telecom.
~
This is a big week - lots of moving parts in lots of areas - both personal and business. It will be interesting to see what Blog entry goes in next Sunday night.

One part I hope gets movin' is my bowuls. Criminiy sakes, Ise bound up like a treed pole cat.

Bound for Bait
Despite the threat of rain, tomorrow I have to get out early and catch bait to tend to the lobster traps.
~
My plan is to take the WhaleEye straight out to Halfway rock and jig for mackerel and pollack, then head down Bluefish Alley by the ledges to see if some early Bluefish might want to give it up for the traps.
~
Tide should be high enough and I should be back by 10:30 AM or so.
POTW Week 24
More rain.
~
The wet weather kills our efforts to finish some telecom work, because you can't CADweld safely around moisture, and CADwelding to support the extensive grounding systems at wireless telecom facilities is a daily, essential task.
~
There is only so much ditch digging that we can do.

No More Snore
In the spirit of total honesty and open disclosure, I have to admit to you that I snore.
~
Really Bad.
~
Each and every time I doze off.
~
And incredibly loud... like an old moose with a head cold.
~
I know that it bugs the shit out of Joanne, but there was nothing I could do about it.... until now.
~
Being sensitive to all of Joanne's needs, I decided that it was time after 36 years to take on this snoring problem. Plus it seems to have worsened over the last 2 1/2 years or so.
~
So I extensively researched the problem, and after 10 minutes of browsing, I came across a product called "SnoreMeds". Amazon sold it for about $39 bucks.
~
This is a plastic mouthpiece that you put into boiling water and then mold it to your mouth, causing the lower jaw to jut about a bit and create an open air passage past the offending palate.
~
It's the palate which vibrates when relaxed as you are sleeping, and that is the source of the gutteral snoring noise which Joanne loathes so much, but I don't even hear.
~
Tested SnoreMeds on a catnap today for about 1/2 hour and it is the first snorefree slumber that I can remember. So now I will be even better in the bedroom.

Dude:
It puts a strain on your heart as well. I would not hesitate to mention it to your doctor. You might end up wearing one of those vacuum thingamajigs that make you look like you are ready to shoot down a MIG, but it could save your life. Plus, you can act like you are shooting down MIGs. - Lauren Rathbone, reigning Peep of the Year, said...

My mom has this problem with my dad, she wears industrial ear plugs every night. So much so, that my brother orders her them from some industrial safety catalog he gets at work.
Bunker Hill Day
~
The crux of the issue is that we have economic problems and can't afford this holiday, or the other Boston only holiday - Evacuation Day.
~
If people knew the history behind these days, the hue and cry should be why the whole country doesn't have these days off. Apparently the effects of a foreign occupation and the loss of American lives to throw tyranny off of American soil aren't very important any more.
~
Naturally, our Governor, Deval Patrick, has his finger in the wind and is making statements that he and his staff will be working.
~
Bunker Hill Day has nothing to do with the present economy and everything to do with remembering who we are and what our forefathers did to create this country for us. We are losing our true identity when we are so callous with our history.
~
I think that Deval caught the wrong wind on his finger.
TL alway prevails in de end, too. I often tell that no good hoochie Miss Pudding such. Restrainin' order or no restrainin' order.
