Wow

 ...and just like that it was July 4th weekend!


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. Mike G is out here rocking a Mach E Mustang.

2. Speedy is alive and well.

3. If you haven't been to Jo's Notty in Hull, get there one of these weekends.

4. Oh what has Jason Foley been up too? He just bought himself a Corvette. A new to him and yeah I have no idea how he's fitting into this...




5. Chrissy out here being Dance Dad of the year. 3 straight days of recitals.

6. Speaking of Chrissy huge camper party the week of July 24th-31st.

7. Boy Band brunch was kind of a wash. Not many good tunes. The food was good though.

8. Chris Leaden is alive, we almost lost him to mowing his acre of land in a 90+ day of heat.

9. TK is on vacation this week. He's looking for some fun in the sun. Anyone wanted to do some weekday drinking look him up.

10. Chrissy had to give his dog back.

Longest day of the year

 Its the first official day of summer boys and girls and whoever identifies as a trash can.

This is what I learned this weekend:

1. After 3 attempts, I believe we have the whole pig roast down.

2. Not really sure how BU celebrates a Sunday holiday on a Friday before but hey here we are.

3. Salsa Verde and chimichurri sauces are very underrated. 

4. Had my first $80 + gas fill up and man was that sad.

5. Replacing speakers in a Jeep sound bar may be an actual 2 person job but with a little extra time I was able to do it.

6. Miller High Life doesn't get the respect it deserves in the non light beer category.

7. The Sox are 6 games over .500 but yet still 13 1/2 back of the Yankees, who just hit the 50 win mark.

8. Congrats on a good season, Boston Celtics. Shitty ending though.

9. The camper is all signed for, it gets delivered on Wednesday and then not sure when the MacPhail's first camp ground bash is but he is up by Mt Decepticon, so lets fucking go.

10. Chris Leaden is looking for tattoo ideas for his left upper arm...shoot them his way.

11. Ever get laughed at by a stranger for a simple question? Like you aren't well versed in a particular area and just a full HA HA HA HA in ya face? Oh yeah me either!

12. I know the price of everything is going up but fuck have you see the price of meat? Steak tips are through the roof.

13. FX has some good shows. Just started the Old Man and almost done with Under the Banner of Heaven, which has True Detective season 1 vibes. (Also side note isn't that owned by Disney now?)

14. Why don't most breakfast places have an appetizer section? Is it because the food comes out so fast? I mean we get appys at lunch and dinner. What if I want a grilled corn muffin while I wait for my omlette?

Just about

 We are just about a week away from summer. Joey is having, what appears to be an annual, a pig roast on Saturday at his house. All are welcome just bring whatever you normally drink.


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. It takes less than a week to get a swimming pool up and running. 

2. Chrissy may be getting a new puppy.

3. Who pulls their ass muscle pitching wiffle ball to kids?

4. Since no one has gotten back to me, so far Obi-Wan is a 4/10 for me.

5. Only in Quincy can they have a Flag day parade with fire works and almost burn a neighborhood down.

6. After a full spring season looking for and settling on a few different campers it looks like the Summer of the MacPhails is back on. Today is the day they sign on the dotted line.

7. After a sluggish start to the rental season it looks like there is only 1 week left to rent my place down the Cape, August 26th -Sept 3rd.

8. Fuck Cancer.

9. Nothing worse than when your central AC kicks the bucket...the worst Jerry the worst!

10. The Parrot in Hull has pretty good food. I was a little surprised because last time I went there it tasted like what I assume prison food tastes like. Not any more.

11. God bless the overnight shift workers. I can not ever figure out when to sleep.

12. I hope this BFF 30 pack is real deal.


See some of you guys Saturday.

2. Top Gun Maverick  was an 8/10.

3. Looks like the Celtics aren't getting any calls in this series but I am here for the ride.

4. Mother nature must have moved on from boozing to doing straight rails of coke - 90 one day 47 the next.

5. Who doesn't love a parade.

6. Guess all that galavanting around finally caught up to Mitch. Caught the Covid.

7. How are we feeling about Kenobi?

8. The Redsox  are finally at .500.

9. Chrissy killed Memorial day down the Cape. Jim Plunkett is back.

10. Someone told me mullets and mustaches are in. Like they were ever out.

11. The older I get the more I realize I have less patience.

12. Where in Florida would you move too? East coast? The northern tip? The keys? The gulf side?

13. Fucking gas at $5 a gallon is fucking bananaland.

14. Allergy, cold and covid season all intersecting in June.

15. I thought the housing market was slowing down? 

16. Who names medicines? Trintellix, Keysimpta, Simparaca trio? Like what the fuck.
