City Hall Tower Restoration Update 7/30/08
If you look at the top you can see the workers way up there. I’d be scared shitless.
The copper looks really nice all spiffed up. It’ll be beautiful once the screens come down -a newly restored sense of hope.

B & N Fishing Gear
In the rear of Gloucester Auto Body on Maplewood Ave is B and N Fishing Gear owned by Corrado Buccieri. This commercial fishing supply store is located across from the Car wash on Maplewood Ave, nowhere near the waterfront but many fishermen do business here.

Rope and Wire At B & N Fishing Gear
Against the wall there are coils of rope and wire used on fishing boats.
There are all different sizes and types. Some rope is braided some is not, some is hard lay (which means its stiff and more durable) some is soft lay (which is easier to handle but will not last as long with a lot of friction).
When people order the rope or wire they order lengths and at the end of the spool there more often than not is a left over piece that is too short to be of any use.

B & N Fishing Gear
Corrado carries all types of swivels, and snap blocks, gloves, shovels, fish picks, basically anything you need as far as commercial fishing gear, he can get. Other places to get these type of things are Three Lanterns, and Rose’s Marine.
If you are in need, swing by and see either Matty out back or Corrado himself.

Jason and Kevin With Rocky and Tina
Rats. No seriously- Rats.
This is what the kids have for pets nowadays? What, were they all out of spiders or snakes at the creepy pet store? Jason and Kevin were nice enough to do a couple of short interviews with me yesterday as I was on my way to our Block Party meeting.
In the middle of the second interview one of the rats pooped on his shoulder. I’m not kidding. I have pictures (but those are for later). I’m thinking the first time the rat pooped on my shoulder he’d be in an onion sack with a brick and heading straight overboard. I’m not big on rats though.

Wooden Boat Project- It Can Be Done!
A couple of weeks ago I highlighted a boat project that some folks were taking on and I’m thinking that I may have motivated them just a little bit in this post
Well since then I am very happy to report the couple has really made incredible progress on their Thompson Brothers Runabout.
Here are two updates in the short time since we highlighted this project with some nice shots of the restoration project.

Congratulations, the boat is coming out spectacularly. It’s nice to see.
I highly recommend everyone to check out the pictures, before and after. The job Greg and his wife are doing show that these projects can be done if you are handy enough. Of course this is a 14 foot boat and not a monstrosity like The Huge White Boat or The Lazy Daizy but nonetheless it’s going to be a boat to behold once completed.

Lee Bolton’s War Games Headquarters
Last night our group of crazies got together for more Block party planning. Within the inner sanctum of the Cape Ann Business Incubator Lee Bolton runs his operation. It looked like a scene right out of the eighties movie War Games with Matthew Broderick and Alley Sheedy.
Lee is helping us with the huge slide show and video presentation for the Block Party but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if we find out that this guy is really plotting to take over the world from his command center deep in the bowels of the Cape Ann Business Incubator.
