Happy Monday

Well it's Monday. I had a busy weekend.

It started Friday night (as most weekends do) with a trip to Paul's house for some man time with me Paul and Jack. I ran into Paul's lovely wife Karen who invited me to join she and her friends at the 50's Lounge. I know that I had sworn off the 50's Lounge, but I was considering it. Of course I ended up at the 50's and it wasn't as horrible as it has been. Karen and her friends always allow me to ramble on about my exploits and Friday was no different.

Saturday I slept in, and went over to Chelsea to give my brother a hand on his boat, Spin Doctor. Afterwards, I had lunch with Paul and Jonathan, did some work on my boat and went home. I started working on one of my fishing reels (my favorite one actually). After about three hours of work, I had the reel to such a state that I have to bring it to a repair shop. It happens every year...

Sunday I went to Westwood to work on the Tuna Helper with Dan. We got quite a bit done. New bilge pump float switch, new depth sounder, new hardware for the hasp batteries charged. Then we had to make ourselves scarce due to an open-house scheduled from 1:30 to 3:00. We went to the laundromat and had some lunch. Pete called and suggested getting together for a drink. This was kind of unusual for Pete (who very rarely leaves his bedroom), so I agreed.

We started what eventually became a mini pub crawl at Joes American Bar and Grill, one drink and then to Chilli's. One drink and off to TGI Fridays (yes it still smells like pee and puke). After Friday's we went to my favorite bar, the lounge at the Tahiti Chinese restaurant. Followed by the Halfway Cafe for a drink and a very satisfying meal of salty salty popcorn. Then to the Village Manor for a few drinks and some trivia (we got our asses handed to us). Apparently I should read People Magazine more. After the Manor, I headed home stopping briefly at Nostalgia's in Quincy for 80's Night. I didn't stay long and picked up some Chinese food on the way home. I ate this with my hands (who needs forks???) while driving home.

Overall, a very busy weekend.
