I don't like to work on the weekends... Business style work I mean. The weekends are for diversion, like fishing or building Tommy O's deck. But this weekend, I had to devote extensively to Nanepashemet Telecom. The orders are piling in, which normally happens in the 4th quarter of the corporate world and we have to rise to meet the challenge. Which we will... MOAM style of course.
~
I did sneak a couple of peeks at the Patriots game and also visited Ryan in his new apartment. And got in some good firearms talk with Brendt D'Orio since that seems to be the topic de jour. (that's French for topic of the day.)

Red Squirrels and Dead Squirrels
Got a ton of response from you Peeps about which new piece I should purchase to add to my obsolete firearms collection that my Grandfather handed down to me.
~
When I think of how my Grandfather used to sleep with a loaded pistol under his pillow, and thought nothing of leaving me as a ten year old kid out on the side porch up in his Maine cabin with a .22 calibre rifle telling me to "shoot the phucking red squirrels" that he hated so much.... it's hard to believe that I turned out as such a well rounded, overall nice person.
~
Grampa backed me off of this squirrel duty after I put a round through his shed and splintered a rug on his wooden ladder.... plus I missed the phucking squirrel.
~
I know that this is starting to sound like a Tuna Lips vignette, but it really happened.
~
Anyway.... I had no idea there were so many Glock and Smith & Wesson afficionados out there. I was originally set on a Glock 19 or 23. Now I'm leaning heavily on the Smith & Wesson 38 or 380.
~
Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions, but I'm more confused than ever.
~
Maybe I'll just keep cleaning Gramps old collection.

If you're truly interested in plinking
squirrels, I'd suggest the Barrett .50 caliber. It's the only thing I use AND it
quite effectively gets rid of them. It also gets rid of any loose hanging
branches as well.

Permit Breakthroughs
Lately Peeps... Nanepashement Telecom has taken the science of Zoning permitting to new levels.
~
We have been pulling massive amounts of permits using a range of new and exciting techniques.
~
Naturally, I can't disclose these techniques in that they are trade secrets and company confidential, but rest assured that they are wicked effective... allowing us to pull multiple permits in one visit and completely manipulating the outcomes of zoning hearings.
~
We may have to seek the services a patent attorney soon.

Glock v. S&W
The handguns and hunting rifles that my grandfather left for me are cool, but are starting to seem really old and dated. I take one or two of them to the firing range every couple of months, but they are really antiques and I thought that I might want to impress the guys at the gun club with a new composite Glock 23.
~
But a close friend of mine, and the guy at the Fireams store today talked me out of the Glock and pointed to good old Smith and Wesson as the direction that I should head in for the use intended.
~
Plus Smith and Wesson is manufactured in Springfield, MA, while Glock is an Austrian company. So I'll be zeroing in on an S&W model to update the family arsenal, and doing my part to help abate the United States trade imbalance.

Racist Grandparents
I've been trying to get over my obsession with US Senate Candidate, Liz Warren, and her claim to be a whopping 1/32 Cherokee Indian... without much luck.
~
It's because she won't admit to the lie. Now she says that her parents eloped because her paternal grandparents objected to her father marrying someone who was part Cherokee and part Delaware.
~
What parts Liz???? The top geneologists in the country come up short and can't find a drop of your minority red blood corpuscles coursing on their 1/32nd path through your high income Harvard attorney frame.
~
And what about the racist stock that you come from??? Now that you have disclosed your grandparents as anti-Native American.
~
I have to admit, my hands are tired from scatching my head every time I see a Warren sign. Who could ever buy her Bullshit?

Great point. To explain herself she takes a
big sh*t on her own. Kind of like Frank MCCourt making money off of telling how
his mum had to prostitute herself to get by. It happens, we get it, but don't
shame your own in public or speak of their failings in a casual manner to
advance your life. They gave you that life.
Warren has loyalty to herself and the story she tells about herself, that is it.
Warren has loyalty to herself and the story she tells about herself, that is it.
Just heard her pathetic ad again this morning. She ends it by saying that Scott Brown is attacking her family. Quite a twist of logic. She accuses her grandparents of racism, but when Brown challenges her obvious lie, he is guilty of attacking her family. What the Hell do they teach those kids at Harvard anyway????
Just my Opinion - Polls.
ABC News and Bloomberg have polls out that show Romney falling behind President BO.
~
What a shocker! These polls seek to be the news rather than reflect the news.
~
Remember the Brown polls when he was running against our beloved AG, Martha Coakley? Seems the election results showed that the polls were wrong.... big time... as Brown pounded the smug heir to the Kennedy Senate seat.
~
That is what I suspect is going on here.
~
The only reason that Conservatives have prevailed against Democrats in two of the last three Presidential elections is that Americans are not stupid. They can't be herded into the pens that the Liberal polls seek to create.
~
Good Morning America is shamelessly reporting today how things are getting better in the Country and how Romney is dropping in the Polls. You can't make this shit up.... excuse me? ABC News makes it up all the time.

Warren Deserves Respect
Scott Brown Supporters today were shown in a disgusting video, taunting Senate Candidate Elizabeth Warren with tomohawk chops and war whoops.
~
What an insult to the Native American Indian Senate hopeful!
~
Oh... I forgot... Warren is not really a Cherokee. She just claimed to be when she applied for law professorships in Ivy League Schools, like Harvard.
~
And when she was tenured for her teaching position, she did the moral thing by unchecking the affirmative action box. And it didn't matter a bit that she didn't need to claim to be a minority anymore.... it was the right thing to do.
~
Shame on Senator Brown for not controlling his supporters with their shameful display of disgust for Professor Warren. He should clean his act up.
~
Warren deserves Respect. She's always been for the little guy... like securing a trust fund for employees that her client, the Travelers Ins. Co. was suing. But... if she was working for the Travelers, why was she helping their opponents???? Then she represented another big business, LTV Steel. But I thought she was supposed to be for the little guys.
~
This is so confusing. Can you say "Horrendous Liar"? Cause that's what it seems like, doesn't it?
~
Hopefully some of my "Progressive" Friends can explain it for me.

Narcissist in Chief
I, for one, am not willing to criticize our President for choosing to hang out with Barbara Walters, Whoopie Goldberg, and David Letterman rather that meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
~
So what if Netanyahu has his finger on a nuclear trigger in the most volatile hotspot in the world. Shouldn't he cater to Baba Wawa first? And what if he were to delay an audience with the cheater but really funny Letterman? Could he risk getting a cheeky remark from the Liberal wisecracker?
~
Netanyahu should take his proper place in line. Just keep his finger in his pocket and shut the phuck up about that stupid Iranian annihilation threat. Geez... What a Freaking Nag!!!! Wants to take up BO's time for that shit when he has to prep for Late Night with Dave?????
~
Go see the Canadian Prime Minister or something and don't be such a whiney girlyman.
~
When you are the Chief Narcissist of the Free World, you have to pick your priorities carefully.
~
Beyonce v. Benjamin?
You make the choice.

Whoopie!

Say what yiz want, but Billy Clinton woulda had his hand on that comely lass Lizabeth thigh, stead of sitting next to them two beasts. Little known fact, I have done the lighting and soundboard on a couple movies. This set up in the picture, a whole hodge podge of women and a black guy, New York City, it's a story line ripe with potential. on Narcissist in Chief
OK..if you can pick out the one person here who knows how to sit like a man, you will win a free copy of Lizzie Warren's best selling Native American Cookbook... "Pow Wow Chow".

Painted Perfectly
Waiting for the Pats Game to start at 8:30 PM tonight against the Baltimore Ravens. I doubt if I'll last to the 4th Qtr due to the MOAM effort in painting ceilings at West Shore Drive today.
~
The ceiling came out great with minimal mess.... largely due to the Wagner
PaintMate Plus 9 in. Manual-Trigger Paint Roller that I purchased yesterday at Home Depot.
~
This little baby cost less than $25 bucks, worked like a charm and cut the time and effort in rolling out the ceiling in half after I finished cutting in the fixtures and the moulding with no mess whatsoever.
~
You load up the storage tube directly from the paint can with no drips, then roll away with no trips to the paint tray.
~
I had taken a piece of unused moulding from the kitchen cabinet repairto Home Depot, and their computer color scanning system nailed the ceiling paint cover to exactly match the cabinets. And the quality and coverage of the paint was excellent.
~
Painting has always been my least favorite renovation activity... primarily because of the mess involved. But the success of this day may change things.

Precautions Perpetrating from Project Perfection
Tommy O's Deck is just about finished with a couple of punch list items remaining. It is a piece of art by all accounts. It was my origninal intention to just create a home improvement for a close friend and former POTY. I did not consciously initiate an attempt to build a project that would attract such media and industry attention.
~
Sure the deck is well built and the design proportioned nicely. I just didn't anticipate that it would be an example of Fung Shue perfection. Too much hoopla over a wooden platform if you ask me. All of the people trespassing on Tommy's property to catch a glimpse of the latest pristine Nanepashemet Deck has become a real nuisance.
~
Plus it's time to start painting the interior of West Shore Drive. That property is an unpolished gem and is destined to be a historic shrine as the center of project management excellence professed by Nanepashemet Telecom.
~
By late November, hundreds of you Peeps will be making the pilgrimage to the annual Night Before Thanksgiving Day Bash and your expectations for an ostentatious, yet tasteful and subdued setting cannot be denied.
~
So tomorrow, the living room ceiling at West Shore gets a coat of paint. I would hope that it is a one day job, but you can't rush perfection.

Nanepashemet Opinion Poll
All the poll results are so confusing. Scott up by 5%, 75% of voters don't care if Warren eats succotash and venison in a teepee, Obama leads Romney by 8%... the day after Romney was up by 2%.
~
Pretty unreliable.
~
So I've decided to commission my own poll, the Nanepashemet Opinion Poll, in order to get to the truth about what people are thinking.
~
The results have been astounding.... suitable for coverage from such unbiased institutions as ABC News and the Boston Globe.
~
85% of the scientific sample polled by Nanepashemet thought that Elizabeth Warren did not look like an Indian.
67% felt that Obama had big ears.
72% reasoned that it was racist to think that Obama had big ears.
92% believed the Mitt Romney was a stiff.
55% felt that Michelle Obama would kick the shit out of anyone who said her husband had big ears.
~
There you go.... the first of many Nanepashemet opinion polls..... absolutely as reliable as any of the other poser polls out there.
~
George, leave me a voicemail if you need me to interview on your Good Morning America journalistic gem.

POTW Week 38
Mitt Romney disclosed his taxes today. Seems he has averaged 20% over the last twenty years, and the total is in the multi-millions. And this doesn't include the 10% tithe that he makes to his church.
Now I want to see what Obama has paid... not just the percentage.... but the total amount. Who has contributed the most????
~
And I want to see Obama's college transcripts. What were his grades? What did he study? What financial aid did he receive? The big rumor is that he registered as an Indonesian foreign aid student named Barry Soetoro. Obama must disclose and quell this falsehood. Right?
~
We have a right to know.... don't we??????
~
And in the meantime... where are Liz Warrens employment records? How come she won't disclose? What is she hiding? A little ill begotten Affirmative Action perc maybe?
Announcing....
