After hours of research I found the perfect non-cotton summer sock for us ‘tween sizers

Men’s Bamboo Fiber Colored Sports Superior Wicking Athletic Ankle Socks – 4 Pair Value Pack

5.0 out of 5 stars

image

If you listened to the podcast you heard about my frustration with the way socks are sold and marketed.

Listen here-

Business Idea- Sock Sizes For The In Between Guy (Shoe Size 11-13)  Drives me nuts.

Shoe Size 6 – 12½
Sock Size 10-13

Shoe size 12 – 16
Sock Size 13 – 15

As you can see from the chart above,  shoe sizes 6-12.5 get one size sock and shoe size 12-16 get a different size sock.  So if you wear anywhere from an 11 to a 13 you’re really in no-man’s land.  Order the smaller size and your foot is squished into a sock that’s comfortable for a size 9 or so.  Order the larger sock meant for shoe size 12-16 and they’re falling down and too loose because they’re designed to fit up to a 16 shoe size.

It’s very frustrating.  On top of that options are further limited for non-cotton socks.  Cotton is the absolute worst material to use for socks as it doesn’t wick away any moisture and has zero antimicrobial properties.

After about an hour of research on Amazon I found the perfect non-cotton summer socks for us sock size ‘tweeners.

I ordered them and they were delivered within two days with Amazon Prime.  Size- perfectly comfortable for my size 12 feet.  Wore them the next day under my work boots and they held up perfectly, no sagging.  I ordered another four pack right when I got home.  It’s rare when you find something that works just perfectly for me but when I do I like to lock it down.  Much like the best knife values in the world, the Victorinox which I replaced our Henkles steak knives with because they are so far superior.  When something works perfectly and is a great value you just can’t believe how much better they make your life and you load the boat.

Here’s a link to purchase and read reviews-

Men’s Bamboo Fiber Colored Sports Superior Wicking Athletic Ankle Socks – 4 Pair Value Pack

5.0 out of 5 stars

  • Men’s XL Size: 10-14, 4 Pairs of Socks
  • Content: 85% Rayon from bamboo, 10% Polyester, 5% Elastic
  • Rayon- Natural, Renewable, Biodegradable, Anti-microbial / Natural Deodorizer
  • Rayon from Bamboo is superior at wicking away moisture helping regulate body temperature. This makes them great athletic socks

GMG Treasures: TREASURED AUDIO- CIGAR JOE FRONTIERO TALKS ABOUT FISHING OUT OF GLOUCESTER MA IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 20TH CENTURY

TREASURED AUDIO- CIGAR JOE FRONTIERO TALKS ABOUT FISHING OUT OF GLOUCESTER MA IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 20TH CENTURY PART IV

The family of Cigar Joe Frontiero brings Good Morning Gloucester these treasured recordings of Fishing out of Gloucester MA in the early part of the century. I’m happy that the family entrusted GMG with these priceless recordings and am proud to be able to have the platform in which we can archive and share with the community.

Thank you to the family of Cigar Joe Frontiero

Cigar Joe Frontiero born in 1898 these tapes were recorded in 1981 when he was 83 years old.

Click here or the arrow below to listen to the recording

The history behind the tapes: Someone had asked Cigar Joe for an interview for an oral history project but Cigar Joe decided to do the recording himself. At the time he was having trouble with circulation in his legs and spent most of the time at home so he bought a tape recorder. He had trouble with the tape recorder and threw all of the tapes away. His mailman took the trashed tapes, spliced them, and made copies. He gave Cigar Joe copies and kept backups (with Cigar Joe’s consent) in case the originals were lost. This occurred in 1981.

Friday June 8 is “Welcome to Amateur Astronomy” night at GAAC!

Michael Deneen's avatarCape Ann Community

welcome

Friday night, June 8, is the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club’s “Welcome to Amateur Astronomy” night!

This annual event is always a GAAC favorite. We’ll be featuring a group of quick, 10-15 minute presentations on topics of interest to anyone interested in pursuing astronomy, as well as a roomful of different binoculars and telescopes to inspect and ask questions about, and all the great conversation and goodies you’ve come to expect at GAAC meetings.

You’ll be able to find out more about what you need to get started, how to do astrophotography, places to shop and how much to spend, what you’ll be able to see, the advantages of different telescope optical designs and brands, and much much more.

If the weather cooperates we can step outside after the meeting and look around a bit with some of the scopes. Jupiter’s up!

You’re invited — see you there!

GAAC members meet…
