Jeff and his crew have deep roots in the fishing community if #GloucesterMA.  He knows when a critical piece of equipment goes down in the offloading process that it will be a major hit to the port. 

The boom goes down  and within an hour Jeff came down to measure stock and had his crew on the job to get us back up running.  A crisis situation is a whole lot less stressful when you have a company like J&L on your side.   Thank you Jeff and company. 

This week’s clash of the gods features the return match of Euphonium, the Roman God of fake IDs, versus Hernia, the Greek Goddess of surgical appliances. No! Wait! That’s my tri-polar self talking. Indeed, I hear voices in other people’s heads! This is what they really tell me:
This Thursday sees the fabulous return of guitar slingers Mr.Bob Davis, aka Johnny Carbuncle and Mr. Dave Brown, the world’s biggest… practitioners of bigness,that is, as their incredible styles clash and remagnetize in the sphere of possibilities. The Atomic Clock, Mr. Dave Mattacks, provides the impetus: I provide the Basest. this is the Rhumb line, where all is possible. This is Thursday: hours:8:30 to 11:30.

Yours truly, Dave

The folks at Willow Rest are shooting for a Saturday re-opening…I’ll keep you posted! 😀

I’ve alway said that the best part about photography is what I learn about what I’m shooting and the people I meet along the way.   Last night I was out, so I thought I would try to catch the moon since I missed the actual full moon the night before.   I headed over to GHB and grabbed my gear out of the car, but there is just something about a camera with a big lens that makes people want to sidle up to you and chat.   Little do they realize that I had about a 10 minute window to get what I was after, and alas I did not get the shot I was going for, but I did however chat with a family whose young son told me that this was a “Full Buck Moon” which represents the time of the year when the male deer start to grow antlers (hmmm….didn’t know that!).   Then I ran into my niece (or she ran into me while she was out running and she then proceeded to photobomb my moon pic (which she thought she ruined, but I thought it will be a fun memory of “that summer night when…”) and finally I met Ed Comer who runs the Blue Shutters Inn across the street and was out admiring the moon with his guests the rest of us!   So no…I didn’t get a NatGeo quality photo, but I still had a GOOD night of photography!!

Someone was complaining that they love their Tumbler and can’t believe how long it kept the ice even in a blazing hot car all afternoon but they wished it had a locking lid.  I researched it and found this one that actually throws in a second sliding lock lid and is even cheaper!

Kate LOVES the fact that she can load hers up with iced water and put it on her nightstand and it doesn’t sweat at all.  No need for coasters and saves your coffee tables from those nasty condensation rings!

Here’s the link to order one-  order on Amazon here for $16.95 with free shipping if you’ve got Amazon prime
