Melissa K Covered In Snow 01/18/09

Moments after I took this picture the Kippen boys shoveled off the deck and headed out to go lobstering.

They got to about the Paint Factory when the engine alarm sounded.  Realizing that the temperature of the engine had spiked dramatically they did the right thing and shut it down immediatly.  Many times in the bitter cold cooling lines in engines freeze up and it can cause an engine to overheat.  You can get a blown head gasket and many other problems.  Shutting it down right away was the right course of action to prevent damage to the engine.

Kind of ironic that extreme cold creates a problem with overheating but that’s what happens when the coolant doesn’t get to circulate.

Reminder-Cape Ann Symphony Concert this Saturday

This year’s family concert features the world premiere of “Katy and the Big Snow” by local composer Robert J. Bradshaw. Commissioned by the Cape Ann Symphony to commemorate award-winning author & illustrator Virginia Lee Burton’s centennial year, the musical retelling of the children’s classic with a Cape Ann connection is destined to become a classic in its own right. This joyous performance will appeal to the young at heart of all ages.

Be sure to check out Flapping like a Haddock for more things to do on Cape Ann.

Thanks! —Sharon

GoodMorningGloucester Fundraising T Shirt

Beth Swan, The Winner Of The GMG Logo contest and contributor to our fund raising efforts for the family of Matteo Russo sent  this mock up of what the t-shirts will look like.  The T Shirt stock arrived at my house last night and Paul Frontiero will be printing them up within the next few days.  If anyone wants one there are a limited supply of each size so let me know and I’ll try to see that you get the size you would like and be aware that 100% of the money raised for these is going to Matteo’s family.  I’d also like to thank Kat Valentine who put together the flyer to promote the G_GAP Fundraising Event at Cape Ann Community Cinema on January 28th(next Wednesday night)

It’s hard to believe that this boat was capsized two days ago.  You wouldn’t know it by looking at it here.  This picture was taken at 4:50AM today
