Before I head off for the memorial day weekend. I have a few thoughts
My first is why everytime I hit the shift key to capitalize the letter i , it never works. i do not think i hold the key down long enough. It seems to work with every other capital. hmmm. Maybe i need therapy. maybe i do not think i am important enough for a CAPITAL.
Shout out to Craig, who is following in his fathers footsteps and graduated in the 48th class of Cape Cod Community College yesterday. i was the 15th class in 1977. We all go at our own pace. I always say that life is like a book. It is made up of chapters. You finish a chapter and move on and move forward. You just hope the book holds your interest and that the ending was worth the read. Whereas I only have a few chapters left, Craig is still at the beginning of his book. I think it should be a great novel with a fabulous ending. Good luck Craiger with the next chapter.
I am still stinging from the Bruins collapse. The celts need to win tonight, I do not need to go through losing four in a row again. The team seems to go as Rondo goes and he has been gone the last two games. Paul Pierce is a GREAT player, but he is a choker. When it comes to big moments he chokes like Drew Bledsoe. Let’s hope that they are not counting on PP to win these games in the end.
My buddy Don Magnuski came up for a couple of days this week from Pennsylvania. It is always special to see the big guy. We had a great couple of days.
We need another national disaster. I am tired of the oil spill already. I hate the fact, that I really do not care about it.
We had the GGG annual golf outing on Tuesday. It was hot as hell at Red Tail, but a day with the G’s is always a good day. This is a fun hard partying group, but most of the conversation was about, what hurts, how tired we were, and when we are retiring. Sucks getting old.
I wish people asked me to DJ in the winter. People always ask in the summer, when I want to be on the boat.

I know what you are saying. Monty who cares what you did this week, but this is more than a blog, it is my diary. I need someplace to put this shit.
I have 40 pairs of socks, but I only have one pair that is perfect. They feel just right, not too tight, and not too loose. I think they are nautica. But for the life of me I cannot find another pair anywhere. I have bought more nautica, but I cannot duplicate this perfect pair.
I dread the idea of loosing this pair, or getting a whole in them, but how can you ruin the perfect pair of socks. It took me 54 years to find them.
Idle sock thoughts:
I might have 40 pairs ( 80 socks) but only 4 matches
I like ankle highs better than peds
I threw all my socks away one time and bought all new ones the same color and the same style. BUT 3 months later, they were all different again
Why dont they sell socks in 3′s? makes it easier when you lose one.
have you ever lined all your socks up on the bed and played the concentration game to match them up?
Is it ok to wear socks for two days? I think when the heel gets hard, it is time for a change.
Socks and sandals are not cool.
Do dryers really eat the socks, or is it the washer and the dryer gets all the blame?
everytime I put my socks on and I see a whole, I say I am throwing these away when I get home. I always forget, and the next time I put them on, I say the next time the same thing. When I get home I am throwing these away.
Does anybody but Frank Orlowski still darn socks?
I have a funny sock story. One day at the gym I was getting dressed. I reach into my bag and pull out a rolled up pair of black socks. I pull them on and they feel real nice. They roll up over my knees and I sense something wrong. really wrong. They feel good, look good, but strange. I ask the guys in the locker room if they notice anything. They laugh and tell me I am wearing nylons. I later find out they are called shear knee highs. What do I do? they feel real good, so I leave them on. Who will notice? right!
I go to the office, and later in the day, I lay on the couch in the reception area waiting for someone and one of the woman sa hey Monty WTF are you wearing nylons. Now I cannot lie, so I tell them the story and then all the woman come out to snicker and laugh. I am not sure if they buy it or not, but after a week of wearing the shear knee highs, I think they realized it was not a one time mistake haha.
my lost socks
There has been a sighting of my lost socks. Somewhere in the Caribbean, I think.
At the end of a tiny bar in downtown Weymouth sat a huge black man. He was having a few beers, when a short, well dressed, and obviously gay man walked in and sat beside him. After three or four beers, the gay man got the courage to say a few words to the big black man. Leaning over towards him, he whispered, “Do you want a blow job?”
At this, the massive black man leaped up with fire in his eyes, and smacked the shit out of the gay man, knocking him swiftly off his stool. He proceeded to beat him all the way out of the bar, before leaving him bruised and battered in the parking lot, and returning to his seat.
Amazed, the bartender quickly brought over another beer to the black man, and said, “I’ve never seen you react like that. What did he say to you”
“I don’t know,” the black man replied. “Something about a job.”
Four guys have been going on the same boating trip for many years. Two days before the
group is to leave, Monty’s wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn’t going.
Don, Steve and Slushy are very upset that he can’t go, but what can they do.
Two days later the three get to the mooring site only to find Monty sitting there with a captain morgan and diet coke with a cherry.
everything is set up, the 2 pound cowboy steaks are on the grill and the fishing rods are out .
“Dang man, how long you been here, and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?”
“Well, I’ve been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening, I was sitting in my chair and my
wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, ‘Guess who?’” I
pulled her hands off, and she was wearing a brand new nightie.
She took my hand and pulled me to our bedroom. The room had candles and rose petals
all over. On the bed she had handcuffs, and ropes! She told me to tie and cuff her to the
bed, and I did.
My Living Will
Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, ‘I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.’
They got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my Captain Morgan!!!!
We have not quite hit the actual start of summer yet, but the dock at tern harbor is starting to round into shape.
Most of the boats are in. This weeks arrivals included, the start gazer, knotty girlz, and our sailboat friends ( the only friends that I have with a sailboat ) rugman and lucy litterer( Lucy trashes everything in multiple states)
FRIDAY:
Friday starts with a meat run to Prevites. This week I got ( in no order) a sirloin roll, t-bones, rib-eyes, sausage, hot dogs ( huge one’s) hamburg, meatballs, steak tips, Chinese pork, and a eggplant sub for the ride to the boat.
next stop beachway liquors for 60 pounds of ice, case of beer and a restock of booze and wine.
Off and running. Met up with Alec ( alec Baldwin look-a-like) on the 29 Searay, did some chores and waited for the crew to show. Had a few cocktails and took a ride on the knotty girlz from scalisi’s to tern with Slushy, alec and Boobie Orr. This year no mishaps last year we almost hit a buoy.
Good news: BW was on the grape ( ne-hi’s) vodka and was able to remain upright on the dock.
Saturday:
Launched the zodiac with skippy. It ran ok, but it has an air leak and the stick on letters and numbers are falling off. I met a new guy in the hatts off, and he showed me how to clean your metal on the boat. All you have to do is rub it with some WD-40 and it shines up nice. Who wulda thunk!
The hockey parents ( Pamela and Boobie Orr) along with Demi and Alec headed to yacht haven and met up with Bruce and Percy. Demi managed to drop her $600 sunglasses in the water after way too many drinks. They called a diver who, for $120.00 dove down into the murky waters to come up with her jade studded glasses.
Darlene tongues the divers ear
My part of the day started with meeting Rob and his russian girlfriend Natasha Cutyoucockoff. we took the “A” tour into Boston, with the tunes cranking. We had a great ride.
sunning on the knot covered
It all went sour when we came inand for the first time in 5 years I hit the dock. My bow drifted over, and when I tried to correct the swing WHACK!!! I hit my swim platform on the corner of the finger. It put a big”V” in the swim platform. OUCH!! This is why I DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. If I drank I am sure that this would not be a freak occurance but a regular event. I hope this never happens again. It is a sick sound. It takes time to learn a new boat. I think a bow thruster is in the near future.
Rob, Hans and Natasha took a ride over to see the SeaRay. Skippy came along to take a ride in the $165,000 ferrari. Rob took a spin in the parking lot at no less than 100MPH. Scared the shit out of Skippy and any of the patrons at Baypointe.
0-100 in 5 seconds
We said goodbye to My friends and went back to Tern to meet up with the crew of “B” dock. My friend Barry White ( let’s call him BW) has taken over for seadog as the dock wiseguy. Too many of those grape vodkas. My new name for him is SIB ( sour ignorant bastard ) I promise you, that it is a term of endearment.
Girls of "B" Dock
Later saturday night we had the Hanover crowd on the boat. Many were over served, but none more than JOJO. The “F” bombs were flying.
SUNDAY:
Woke up to see the crushed swim deck. The lebenese lover and Sha Sha were headed to lowes, so I tagged a long to get some white duck tape to cover my boo boo. When we got there we decided to fix it right. so we bought fiberglass and hardener and another $100.00 worth of misc stuff. Back to the dock for repairs. Within 3 hours we had fixed the damage, it was back to normal all painted and ready to go. Thanks to my Lebanese/Italian chef friend. My job was to clean up and cook as well as to shag what ever he needed to finish the job.
All went well, so we decided to have some adult beverages. After a few, Skippy and I decided to paint the numbers on the zodiac. One word of advice here, do not paint while drinking, and do not paint on a moving dock. We ended up with part paint, part pen, and part plastic stickers. Skippy spilled all the paint half way through the job, so we had to cut letters out of plastic and glue the rest on. OMG! it is a shitshow.
Dock notes:
Buffy and muffy on the 48 searay showed off her new commitment ring. I don’t really know what that means, but I think it means they are engaged ALMOST!
commitment ring
We also have two more new boaters on “B” dock The D’s Dave and Di. They have a 30 foot bayliner. They are fitting in famously. Better than that guy that showed up last year and announced that he was in the “quitters club” and that he came there for some quiet. We laughed for the whole summer. No surprise that he never came back.
Just a thought. I miss Seadog and kelley. it is not the same without them. Steve and ginny too!
I could write a whole column on Blime and gennessee and their dog steak tip, but I will save that till next week.
I am going to start a new series ” As the dock Terns” I spend so much time at Tern harbor Marina in the summer, that most of my life experiences will come from the dock.
So for those that are interested, and for those that are from the dock I will have weekly updates.
I will be changing the names to protect the innocent
With the new season under way, we still have a lot of stragglers getting in late due to slow mechanics, or just not giving a shit.
On “D” dock, we have new guys this year. we have delores and Stephon in the new Searay. Stephon is still learning the boat and took some time to practice docking. He might come in sideways, but that boat is the shiniest boat on the docks. I felt bad when I sat on his seats with black grease on my ass.
Speaking of sideways Our Friend from “B” dock Brian White ( I will call him BW)
fell off the dock on Friday night. I was standing on the back of my boat when he just loses his balance and spins like a ballerina and falls in to the frigid cold water. It took 3 of us to drag hgis ass back up on the dock. He claims he was pushed, but the only thing that pushed him over the edge was the blueberry vodka.
Our resident gay guys are now on “D” dock. Percy and Bruce are now residing 10 slips away. Great to have them over where they belong, with us in the fun dock. Phil and Fee Fee in the big Hatteras say everything will be cool as long as there are no more cinderella dress up parties on the dock.
Just a thought??? Phil has a friend named Dickie Little. I still think that is just wrong on a lot of levels. Who would name their kid Dickie Little.
Speaking of Levels. Our resident Level 3 boater on “B” dock was all wound up this weekend. He was drinking the Blimes and eating the sourpatch candies again.
We had dinner at spazios with the Hockey parents, and Tommy Bahama from BayPointe on Saturday. I had the stuffed veal chop. It might have been the best thing I have eaten in 2 months. It was fabulous.
I could go on, but we are still waiting for the Slushers and others to get their boats in the water.
Once again Tom’s wife is by far the top revenue generating model in the WORLD.
Boston.com reorts:
For now at least, married life isn’t putting a crimp in Gisele Bundchen‘s bank account. Forbes.com released its list of the world’s top-earning models, and Mrs. Tom Brady again finished No. 1. The money mag says Bundchen brought in an estimated $25 million last year, thanks in part to her work with True Religion jeans, Dolce & Gabbana, her personal skin care products, and her own sandals line, called Ipanema by Gisele. Now that she’s got a wee one at home, it’ll be interesting to see if Bundchen holds down the top spot next year. (We also wonder if Brady will try to break the bank with his next contract or if his wife’s wealth prompts him to take a little less.) No. 2 on the list is Heidi Klum, who earned $16 million, followed by Kate Moss, Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Natalia Vodianova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Daria Werbowy, and Miranda Kerr.
They go too slow. They have no direction. They clang in the wind. They are too much work.
Maybe they just piss me off, because they are always cutting in front of me. They never seem to be traveling in the same direction as the rest of the boats.
and another thing, the little small ones, they all seem to cluster like a 5 year olds soccer team. they travel in circles around each other. I guess these are training classes. You never know which way they are going and when they are going to break out and cross your path.
I have a theory that most sailors are democrats and drive volvo’s
one last thing. Sailors hate powerboaters ( stinkpots they like to call us) so it is only fair to hate sailors. I do not know what their problem is. 9 out of 10 times whenever i see a sailboat, they are under power, even when the sails are up.
Can you fish from a sailboat?
and another thing. sailboats are always racing. der if you want to go faster, get a real boat.
If you landed here, You were probably looking for a real steakhouse in the South Shore of Boston.
They have 20 in Boston and some on the North Shore and many West of Boston.
But, there is no decent steakhouse south of Boston since Valle’s left Braintree 20 years ago. Only kidding here a little. I am talking “GOOD” steakhouse, like Capital Grill, Ruth Chris, Mortons, Abe & Louies, Smith and Wolinsky, Peter Luger’s etc
If you are in business, there is no place to go. If you want a special night out, there is no place to go.
It sucks. Someone needs to open a nice restaurant. The demographics in the area will certainly carry it.
I heard good things. People were talking up the new market in the refurbished Hingham Shipyard, so I had to see for myself.
I was very very unimpressed.
The fresh Market sits between the Stop and Shop and the Fruit Center in more ways than one. It is not just fruits and vegetables, nor is it a super store. I think what it is supposed to be is an over priced chic shopping experience for the high brow Hingham crowd.
They have rows of nuts, cheeses and jelly beans. A tremendous waste of space.
The wife and I walked in circles around the center serving area. I heard that they had tons of prepared foods that I could pick up and take to the boat. I found next to nothing.
I settled for a mundane chicken from the rotisserie. It was dry and bland. Almost awful. The spousal unit had a rather uninteresting salad.
Checking out is a process. You cannot see who is in line and you have to peek around corners. Luckily no one and I mean no one was in line. After the initial opening I suspect everyone is back at the Stop and Shop, or the fruit Center. Both much better choices than the FU Fu ” not so Fresh Market”
Do yourself a favor and go to the Stop and Shop. That is unless you want to be “seen” at the new Hingham hotsy totsy yuppie market.
One last thought. The Hingham shipyard was a fabulous idea, that fell on hard times due to this recession. I do not think that anyone would have thought that it would have been the home to low rent apartments and a Sleepy’s matress store.
Granddad was reminiscing about the good old days……….
“When I was a boy, my Momma would send me down to the corner store
with a dollar, and I’d come back with five pounds of potatoes, two loaves of bread,
three pints of milk, a pound of cheese, a box of tea, and a half a dozen eggs.
