Recycled Tires Cut into Discs For Groundlines
This is a picture of a coil of ground wire that is covered with discs made from recycled tires.
The nets of a dragger travel across the ocean floor and can get caught up on big rocks but with the rubber discs surrounding the wire it will allow the dragger to go over slightly more uneven fishing bottom where fish may be hiding as opposed to the easy flat bottom in which a net would glide right over.
When they use much larger discs they are called rock-hoppers. They will roll over much larger rocks instead of stopping the boat dead in it’s tracks or getting hung down on the big rocks.

Pablo- Striper Assasin!
It’s been much slower on the striper front this year compared to last but every once in a while Pablo manages to land one.
God only knows how. He doesn’t hide the hook inside the chunk of herring, he just hooks it right through the side of the herring with the rest of the hook exposed. Most stripers are too smart to fall for that. They are generally very suspicious of anything that does not look natural floating through the water and to land a big fish more times than not you have to carefully plant that hook inside the bait so none of that hook is visible outside of the chunk of bait.
But every once in a while you get that suicidal striper that tosses inhibition to the side and dive bombs at Pablo’s hook.
Sucker!

Lobster Trap Rocking Chairs Pic From Kristin Michel
This just in from guest contributor Kristin Michel-
“Hey Joe –
What do you make of this furniture? I was in Maine visiting my in-laws and just had to stop and take a picture for you. Believe it or not, the chairs are much more comfortable than they look!
Kristin”

Guerilla Art- Undercover Block Party Slide Show Testing
Ernie Morin, Lee Bolton and I perform set up for the first testings of our outdoor projection slide show.
At this point we have no clue if it will work. Questions abound.
Will it be dark enough?
Will the wall we plan to project onto be flat enough?
Will our power supply be sufficient?
Will the projector overheat and crap out?
As of yet we don’t know.
Stay Tuned

Spanx? Seriously?
I wanna know who the marketing genius was behind the branding of this “Power Panties” line carried at Seasons On Main.
How do you suppose that board meeting went with the advertising executives?
I say it went something like this-
Ad exec #1- “I’m having a hard time coming up with a name for our new “Power Panties” line, what do you guys think?”
Ad exec #2 “How bout we put a black chick, a white chick, and an asian chick on the cover of the box topless and call them “SPANX”?
Ad exec #1-“Fucking Brilliant! Lets go with it!”
