Cape Ann Chimney and Hearth

Bob and Luke have been extremely helpful advising about wood stoves and pellet stoves.

If you want to be comfortable and save some money this winter you have to check out their showroom on Pond Road.  They have a ton of different models and styles for you to look at and they will install and repair them as well.

Here’s our wood stove, a Vermont Castings Intrepid.  I dropped it off this morning and Bob and Luke are going to get it into tip top shape for us.  It looks like the top part could use a little touching up.  Don’t be the dope that calls them right when we get the first cold snap when the entire free world is all trying to get service at the same time.  Call now and get out ahead of the winter! 978-283-1119

Here’s the before pictures of our Vermont Castings Intrepid-

Marina Evans at the Cape Ann Museum

July 28, 2016 ~ Cape Ann Museum

A brave composer, performer and traveler, Marina Evans will perform as part of the Cape Ann Museum’s Free Music in the Courtyard series on Friday, July 29 from 4:00pm to 5:00pm.

Evans combines strong, sultry vocals with traditional folk americana and an indie pop edge to create a sound that is all her own. Her studio work deftly combines various styles, genres, and instrumentation – from sweet ballads to folk anthems to straight up rock and roll – and paints a picture of a versatile and passionate artist.

Her unique sound and powerful stage presence have earned her opening sets for such legends as Judy Collins, Jonathan Edwards, Loudon Wainwright III, and Ellis Paul. A bold, honest performer, clever lyricist and a dedicated songwriter, Marina Evans is a star on the rise whose songs and spirit are not to be missed.

This program is free and open to the public.

*In the event of inclement weather the concert will be moved inside the Museum.

Forgot my tumbler at work again last night. I got an iced coffee at 10 yesterday morning. Just checked it at 11:10AM over 24 hours later and it still had cold liquid and ice in it!!!

I LOVE the fact that it’s 30 oz and can hold a lot of coffee or water.

I LOVE the fact that it doesn’t leave ringlets of condensation because it doesn’t sweat and ruin my furniture or leave nasty water in my cupholders.

I LOOOOOVE the fact that I can use a minimal amout of ice and not have to replenish it all day long!

If you haven’t got one I feel sorry for you because your life is not complete without one, LOL.

Here’s the link to get one with two different style lids, one open and one with a locking lid- Buy it on Amazon by clicking this link $16.95

They are just like the YETI ones that sell for three times as much and only give you the one non-locking lid. $16.95 is like stealing this 30 oz tumbler!

Chances go up exponentially that you will get a succinct answer in a more timely manner and if that person is unable to answer a phone call immediately,  they can text you back as soon as they can.

Hi Joey–

Bowsprite and I have been busy.  I’ve attached some photos taken near Oswego NY.

Cheers

Makes it super easy to locate them for charter fishing I’m thinking!

Check out all the pings on Oscar the shark off Chatham Ma!

Remember, when planning your vacation this summer you can go down to Cape Cod, spend 3/4 of your day fighting that nasty South Shore traffic and then get eaten by a shark in their shark infested waters, or you could come up to beautiful idyllic Cape Ann where we have much safer beaches.  I think the choice is clear where you should spend your vacation dollars!
