Good Morning Gloucester 
Joey, another good one. It’s good to see when things are done in the cold so people who never think of things like that find out how it is. Maybe that’s why I put lobstermen and fishermen up on a pedestal. You have to be somewhat rugged to be able to handle stuff like that. In other words you can”t be a wimp. To me that’s a real man. And oh yes Joey, you’re not a lobsterman but you still have to go out there in the cold to help unload the boats. So yes Joey, you’re on the pedestal also.
