If a move is right for you and your family, it’s right, no matter what’s going on. But if you’re not sure, sometimes it’s better to sit tight.

A Christmas gift that is in demand this year….A Good Nights Sleep!!!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Give the gift of feeling good!

How well you SLEEP has a major impact on how well you FEEL

https://herbtechstore.com/collections/calming

High concentrations of CBD and well known botanical extracts help you reach your sleep potential naturally…. without unwanted side effects. A great gift for those relatives and friends that have mentioned feeling tired during the day or are not sleeping well and are just simply not themselves lately. Giving someone a good night’s sleep is giving them a good day, ( and we can all use as many good days as we can get.)

Herb Tech Pharma’s’ Be Sleepy topical CBD lotion and the Relax Micro Mist Oral Spray are for those people unwilling to compromise on their health and wellbeing . Our Be Sleepy topical has 1,000 mg of CBD along with valerian, melatonin, and lavender for a calming aromatherapy experience. The Relax oral spray contains 5mgs of CBD…

Night Photography With Vintage Russian Helios 44-2 58mm Lens

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This lens showed up last night after a month in shipping time from Russia. It was made and sold in the 70s. Still holds up as a fantastic manual lens today.

Used A Fotasy M42-NEX Adapter to use it with the Sony NEX 5100

5AM Gloucester Harbor 2.5 second exposure f5.8. This was taken with very little light to work with. None of this detail was available to the naked eye. The longer exposure let those gorgeous colors come through.

Pretty sweet!

How to get a Glostoar

​

IMG_5640_edited.jpg
The demand for these unique “Glostoars” is pretty steep…and Captain Sam does need to charge a fee (or else his first mate will pull the plug on his boat!)… 
Pricing varies and depends on the subject.  Custom oars take time and Captain Sam strives to make each one special for those on the receiving end.
Sending an email to :  glostoar@gmail.com and describing what type of Glostoar painting you are looking for.. ie…your home…your boat…your pet…your favorite seascape…gift for a loved one…etc..  Providing detailed photos of the subject you are interested in and some info about what you want the oar to capture will be helpful.  Texting these over to Sam at                       617-875-6183 may work as well…(it depends if the fish are biting or not!).   Capt’n Sam has dozens of oars to choose from “in stock” and figuring out what size and subject adds meaning and beauty to the end result.  Being creative and making each oar a true “one of a kind” is Captain Sam’s goal so if you want to stop by and pick out an oar and go over in detail what you want the end result to be just let us know.  These oars will be an heirloom that can be passed on from one generation to the next so getting it right is important.   Turnaround time can be a week to 4 weeks…depending on the detail needed.   
Thank you for your interest…. Row on!

ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF MONEY? WILL YOU OUTLIVE YOUR MONEY OR WILL IT OUTLIVE YOU?

Are you successful? Do you have adult children who are struggling? Do you want to give them a leg-up in this challenging world they face today? One way to transfer some of your assets to a younger generation while you are alive is to purchase and fund permanent insurance for them, employing the ‘be your own banker‘ concept, i.e., stacking the cash value and using the accumulation for a source of loans for their personal use, business purposes and investment opportunities without having to go through financial underwriting, or for a stream of future, after-tax income. Another approach: if you are able to employ premium financing solutions towards any variety of complex financial and tax problems you may be facing, consider purchasing a significant amount of permanent insurance with premium…
