My View of Life on the Dock
Good Eggs- Doug Cook is a good egg. Not only is he going to offer his Landscaping expertise consulting for the type of trees and land preparation, but he is also going to donate a tree for the GMG Tree Project! I couldn’t be more excited and happy to have Doug aboard the GMG team.
Check out Doug’s website which is in the process of being updated www.ladesign.biz
Don’t you just love the soft light that those fake gaslamps give off?

See the spikes on the nose of this lobster? Notice how they are sort of dull? Well that’s because this particular lobster is an old shell hard lobster that hasn’t shed in a while.
The newly molted and new-shell lobsters have razor sharp points (because they have not been honed down yet) that love to find the underneath part of your fingernails when you are grading lobsters without gloves on. It hurts like a motherf^cker when one of those spikes jams up under your nail, believe me.

Pablo just loves to fish. Even when he doesn’t catch anything he just loves to hang out at the dock and toss his hand line in the water. He doesn’t take his time to hide the hook inside the bait to try to fool the stripers, he just sticks it right through the meat of the bait and tosses it over and waits, and waits and waits.
God bless him.

I was up on the roof yesterday looking for leaks and thought this made an interesting shot.
This is the take out boom which swings out over the boats to hoist the catch up over the rail and onto our dock.
Looking down you can see Frankie and George Hardy on the front of the pier waiting for boats to come in.
