Spooky season

 People seem to be decorating their homes more and more for the Halloween season.

This is what I learned this weekend(quick 12 pack edition):

1. Taco Bell has brought back the double decker taco for a limited time.

2. Over 2 months to get an appointment for an eye exam? Everyone all of a sudden going blind?

3. I heard that Stop and Shop are going to stop charging the $.10 for bags.

4. If you know of anyone selling a good used car cheap, Hit up Chris Leaden. He is looking for one.

5. If you were wondering, Mark Welch is alive and well. Heard he has his eye on Jason Foley's 'Vette.

6. Today is Joe Martell's birth day. If you see him at the Hoffy grab him a beer.

7. Chrissy survived 4 days of being Mr. Mom. No one got hurt and everyone is in good spirits.

8. How is it we have no FEMA money for people in NC or Florida but we have money for Lebanon? We find that in the couch cushions?

9. The Quincy YMCA is already big and now they are planning on an expansion?

10. Swayman signs an 8 year deal and opening night is tomorrow. Prayers up the Bruins season is better than the Patriots.

11. It is pretty wild that the Red Sox are the cheapest ticket in town. Mediocrity at it's best.

12. The Irish Pub in North Quincy is an old school cash only Star Wars type of bar but the food is dirt cheap. Not sure how they are making any money from that.

I was waiting

 Till October first to post (also Sean Riccio bullied me but that's besides the point).

This is what I learned while away:

1. People hate Georgia more than I thought. That Bama/Georgia game was one for the ages.

2.  Mia Khalifa on Only fans now? 

3. If you need any Bruins tickets - Let Mario know. He is selling almost all his games this year.

4. Been a blood bath lately with Pete Rose and Dikembe. Keep your head on a swivel.

5. Looks like real estate in Florida and NC is going to be cheap soon.

6. There has been a Smiddy sighting. Out and about at a bar and happy in love.

7. Does anyone actually answer their cell phone? Or does it go to voicemail and you text them back like an adult?

8. The Hancock Tavern has underrated bar food.

9. 4 weeks is the fastest I have seen a suicide pool end.

10. Shocker that Chris Sale couldn't pitch in a meaningful Braves game.

11. TK is not a huge Mexican food guy but I introduced him to empanadas...game changer.

12. We are going on a year and still no replacement for Dan at work.

13. People acting like the Red Sox being in the playoff hunt till the last week of the season is some major accomplishment. You are the fucking Red Sox - charging the most per ticket, per beer, and you just want to be mediocre.

14. Don't forget Chrissys Bday is this Wednesday and Joey's is next week. 

15. Speaking of Chrissy don't bother him Thursday through Sunday. He is on daddy duty and can't be bothered with distractions.

16. I am having the exact opposite of luck when it comes to fantasy football this year. I have started dieting hard so I can look good in my dress at next years draft.

HMMM

 Maybe I should start a go fund me to get a wedding gown to wear to Vegas when I finish last in fantasy football.

This is what I learned this weekend:

1. I am already sick of Jason Kelce. 

2. Martell says he is no longer drinking during the week...believe it when I see it.

3. The knockout/suicide NFL pool is already down to 19 people.

4. Steve Boyce is on a heater still. Keno doesn't stand a chance.

5. Mikey T is looking for someone who works on Buderus boilers. You know anyone? Hit him up.

6. The Hancock Tavern - you either like it or you hate it. I am in the like it boat.

7. Chrissy is going to have a season ending bash up at his camp ground if you are interested. Hit him up.

8. How the fuck is an appointment for an eye exam over 2 months out? 

9. Fuck LED head lights on cars.

10. The count down to TK's retirement is under way. Only 356  days left!

11. Jeffrey is back coaching the Hull football team. 

12.  Who is going to Pearl Jam tonight at Fenway? Look for Chris Leaden in his ripped jeans, flannel and Ten t-shirt.

Back Baby!

 I survived Atlanta, barely. But I am back and ready to rock and roll.

This is what I learned while on vacation:

1. The Claremont Lounge still slaps!!

2. Clemson vs Georgia was a great game. One of the best in person events.

3. Happy Birthday to Tom Kelly and Steve Whitley - 2 legends born 2 days apart.

4. I have a ton of grays/white hair, so it pains me to have my 1st gray eye brow hair.

5. Went to my first Costco ever! Straight fire and better than BJ's!

6. Another year and I am out on week 1 of the suicide pool.

7. Single ply toilet paper is no way to live.

8. Joe Martell is made for power washing - 2 and half hours one day then 4 the next. Zero complaints!

9. Totally normal for a dude to be running Wolly beach nude on a Saturday morning.

10. I have never said this before but after week 1 I may have to start shopping for a dress for Fantasy football. 

11. Vacation always feels like a great time to recharge your batteries...until its actually time to recharge.

12. Nothing screams getting old than your hamstrings hurting for 3 days after lifting something.

13. I have never been to the Big E but I heard nothing but great things.

14. Fall is less than 2 weeks away.

Tuesday is the new Black

 So it appears that Tuesday is the new Monday when it comes to blogging. Here we are.

This is what I learned this past week:

1. People were not happy that Chrissy didn't show up in a dress, even though he paid the $100.

2. Is preheating your oven a scam? Like why aren't we just putting the food into the oven as it heats up? 

3. Surprisingly Big Mac Pizza is not that good - the lettuce wilts, the sauce is too much and eventually its a mushy mess in your mouth.

4. No one is hotter than Boyce with the Keno.

5. I am finally getting around to watching Bosch on Prime and so far so good.

6. I have been crushing the Liquid IV's for no real reason than I like the flavor.

7. How many fantasy teams is too many fantasy teams? Asking for a friend.

8. Joe Martell told me he plans only to drink on the weekends going forward.

9. Hey Uber Eats maybe you stop being so stingy with the coupons.

10. ...And just like that summer was over and Pumpkin spice was everywhere.

11. Schools are back in session starting this week and I would be livid at having to be back before Labor day.

12. I will be in Georgia this weekend for the Georgia #1 vs Clemson #14 game. It feels good to have football back.

See you guys in 2 weeks.

Holy Moly

 It took a few weeks for people to realize that I hadn't posted. Some said I better be on vacation while others were just busy with their own lives. The truth is I was just being lazy - Nothing more, nothing less.

This is what I learned the past few weeks:

1. I have gone to the dark side and officially only drink black coffee. The one week experiment is a full send.

2. Yeah I am sorry but Zach Bryan does not do it for me. I do not see it.

3. While we are on the subject of country music - Kelly Clarkson was just Taylor Swift before Taylor. Same type of music and songs just not as attractive.

4. You guys know what weekend is coming up...Fantasy football weekend. Unfortunately, Chrissy will not be showing up in his dress because he is going to Chesney at Gillette.

5. I have no idea how people work the overnight shift. All I do is snack on that shift. Bored - snack. Reading something - snack. Watching a video - snack. Its like a huge snack hole.

6. So Summer starts in early June now and Fall in mid August? Why the fuck is it getting into the 50's at night?

7. TK is 13 months away from retirement. Can't wait for that party at the Eagles.

8. I am not one to talk politics but how the fuck did we go from no one likes Kamala to her all of a sudden being so far ahead in the pols. I feel like the US as a whole is being gas lit.

9. Drunk swimming is back in Boston. How can you say there is no serial murderer in the city? The last thing I ever want to do when I am bombed is go swimming.

10. Anyone hear from Chris Leaden? Tried to meet up a few times for brews but he always (wink wink) busy. Maybe hes secretly on the wagon.

11. The Summer of Steve Boyce is alive and kicking. Dude worked 4 days in July...four fucking days,

12. Cafe Patron is heading back to the shelves and I could not be more excited. I always loved that chilled!

13. What are we doing with Drake Maye? The Pats are not winning more than 4 games so just play the kid and let him learn.

14. Yes even though we live in a digital age, I still buy a fantasy football magazine every year.

15. It is insane to me that beers are $5 minimum at every bar.

16. Hey Encore thanks for the free cruise but if you know me that would NEVER EVER HAPPEN.

17. College football is kicking off this Saturday and all is right with the world. Go Dawgs...see ya next Saturday.

18. Its amazing to me that basically a new car is $50K for a decent whip.

6. I am sorry but I do not know who Noah Kahan is.

7. After the beach this weekend, I remembered why I don't remove my shirt to go in the water anymore. Sunburn city!

9. Chris Leaden out here rocking and rolling racking up Keno win after Keno win.

10. Prime day is here. What are we buying?

11. I cannot remember it being this hot for this long. I mean can we just drop down to the 60's at night?

12. No matter what your political views are, you have to be pissed off someone tried to kill an American candidate running for president.

13. Mario has plenty of Bruins games available this season. Get your orders in early and pay the man his money.

14. Really Bronny James is worth 8 Million bucks? The dude couldn't hit water in he fell off a fucking boat.
