A Nightmare Before Christmas

Jethro Tull's Jack-a-Lyn music video. Nicely done!

Football Joke (not really) ;)

Manning, Romo and Brady are all tragically killed in a freak plane crash
while returning from the Pro Bowl. All three have been righteous,
God-fearing men during their lives and quite naturally all three arrive
before God's throne in Heaven. God looks at each QB in turn and then
speaks.

God asks Peyton Manning first: "What do you believe?"
Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, "I believe in
hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving.
I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans." God can't help
but see the essential goodness of Manning, and offers him a seat to his
left.

Then God turns to Tony Romo and says, "What do you believe?"
Tony says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the
fundamentals of life. I too have been lucky, but win or lose, I've always
tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing fields." God is
greatly moved by Tony's sincere eloquence, and he offers him a seat to his
right.

Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?"
Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

Patriots 31, Eagles 28 - WTF?

Did the Pats get the yips and the dropsies? - yup!

Did the cream cheese Eagles play the game of their life? - You betcha!

Is this a blueprint to beat the Pats and the end of a dynasty? - NFW!

Plain and simple, it was TMFT (too much turkey on Thanksgiving). That's all folks.

The tally so far: PATS 11, humbled opponents 0

In Belichick we trust.

Surfcam note

The Surfcam has been disabled. Working on converting digicam, with 14x zoom, to surfcam and sealcam (if it works ;)).

Stay tuned.

A Special Day :)

Happy Birthday Bro!

The Day After........

.....was picture perfect



Tranquil at Bluefish Cove



But the portapotty at the Hahbamasta's office was destroyed. Oh well.



Real nasty storm here with gusts to 60 mph (91mph at Nantucket...ouch) but the tides were in a neap range, winds were northerly (not northeasterly thank you) at peak and, though a near miss, we did not get a direct hit by the storm center. The storm was an extratropical hurricane which morphed into a monster coastal storm with winds approaching cat. 2 hurricane force.

The house was rockin' and rollin' but no damage....and, for the first time, NO LEAKS! The HD rollshutters and all the reinforcements, reflashing, patching and recaulking I've done over the years have finally passed a significant test. So, BRING IT! I'm kidding. Its not nice to taunt mother nature when you are 12 feet from a seawall.

Red Sky at Night, Sailor's Delight?

MY ASS!

This was last night............


To see current conditions, click on the "Jackster's Surf Cam" link to the right. You can even pan and tilt the view.

We are expecting hurricane force winds, a big storm surge and huge waves. High tide ~7:20pm but it will be dark then.

If the Surf Cam goes down, send rum!

Equinox

Thanks to Chris and Jeanneau Yachts for all the amenities!

Jimmy Buffett 2007 - Fins to Foxboro

The Tailgate Gang, 3 grills and a full barJack and Chuck. They're straight. No, really.
Terri, who never drinks blue drinks or tequila. Wait, what's this?
Patty being Patty. Snort.

Yet another great concert by Jimmy but 58,000 fans at Gillette Stadium makes me long for the good old days, circa 1984, at Great Woods when tickets for center stage 3rd row were cheap and easy to get. There were no lines for nothin', Fingers Taylor led the Coral Reefers with his harmonica and tailgating was wild west. I blame myself in part. After my first show I told all my friends and colleagues "Hey, you got to see this guy Buffett". Well, seems they all told some friends too.

First Cast

Remember that scene from Caddyshack where Bishop Bickering was shooting a near perfect game of golf during a thunderstorm?

Well, last week I rowed out to my mooring on a real nice, calm day. Put a chunk of bait on the hook, cast it out and before I could lay down some chum, WHIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, fish on the line. 28 1/4" Striper (honest, I didn't stretch him). Keeper fish in 30 seconds.

Just waiting for the lightning to strike me ;)

Late July

Powergliders are back......................



Brant Rock fire sky...........................

Independence Week

I like 4th of July on Wednesday. We get a whole week celebration instead of just a long weekend.

The whole Marshfield coast, from Humarock to Green Harbor lights up for 2 hours.....


The mighty Rum Balls, with the great Seahawk 200 in tow, took us on a scenic voyage up the North River to Couch Beach.....


We celebrated Sam's 11th birthday in style.....with tunafish and tapioca pudding.....


Caught a 32" striper in the back yard. Shown here with supermodel Danielle.....


.....and got to moon the Goodyear Blimp.

Come Monday - Jimmy Buffett - 1973

Featuring his girlfriend, now wife, Jane, his Boston Whaler (his boats are a little bigger now ;)) and his POS pickup truck, the "Conch Cruiser" aka "God's Own Truck". Enjoy.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

BOOBIES!

Nor'easter. Ayuh.

Fins to Foxborough

Jimmy to play Gillette Stadium this year. WooHoo!



Thanks to Terri the Terror!

Thanks to Poalo del Cabo ;)

woo hoo

Omnipresent Peyton Manning won the Superbowl. Yippee. Rather, Rex "Butterfingers" Grossman lost it. At least traitor Vinatieri didn't win it on a FG. But he did get roughed up (hee hee hee).

Still, a great season for the Pats. Forming a team for next season will be a challenge.

The Peyton (gay) Manning (gay) Tango........................

Pats Stunned

What an ignoble ending to another great season. The fastest car in the race cannot win if it just runs out of gas. Thats what happened. Age and injuries took their toll. More lamentable than the loss is the prospect of losing some of the great veterans who built the Patriots dynasty. Tedy Bruschi, Rodney Harrison, Richard Seymour among those who gave their all despite injuries that would have us mere mortals on crutches.

This may have been the turning point of the game. All New England feared the Colts would win by a field goal from traitor Adam Vinitieri. Instead, it was a short pass to ex-Patriot Dan Klecko. What a ballbuster.

On to picking up the pieces and rebuilding the team. It won't be easy. And thanks to Skippy for letting me view this debacle on his 50" plasma. Now I'm spoiled.

GO PATS!

Bring It!

Jets Crushed!

James Chadwick (yes, Chadwick) Pennington eats turf at the feet of the mighty New England Patriots. Bring on the Chargers.

Check out the Blog of wussyboy Drew Bledsoe:

We only have 3 seasons here: Summer, Patriots and 24. Looking for overlap of the last two.
