Did You Know? (April Stanton Rocks Recycling)

Posted on by God's Morning

some people say that young people today have no work ethic and are lazy?  Well I was blown away this morning when the Hiltz recycling truck pulled up and this cute, lean little slip of a girl named April Stanton bolted out to empty the recycling bins on Rocky Neck Ave.  She moves like lightning emptying the bins and does the route by herself, so is also driving that big honkin truck, maneuvering it like its a compact car.  Kudos to April and the amazing job she does.  Hiltz, you better appreciate what you’ve got there.

Did You Know? (Genie Gets Her Rock)

Posted on by God's Morning

That Genie really wanted to find the Good Harbor Art Rock that Paul Frontiero hid this winter in the rocks by Good Harbor Beach; the one that Ed Collard found and then gave to me at the Rocky Neck Plunge, after I had commented that I finally knew where one was but the storm prevented me from getting out and finding it?  She and her two friends, Maureen and Paula were out playing tourist today, taking the water shuttle and poking around the galleries on Rocky Neck.  She is a devoted FOB, so wanted to come in and get a GMG sticker.  We got talking about Paul’s Art Rocks and how much we love them, and then realized we both had wanted to find the same rocks (Good Harbor Beach and the Paint Factory, which I did find under Fitz Henry’s crutch buried in the snow).  So Ed, I hope you don’t mind me regifting your gift, but I gave the Good Harbor Beach rock to Genie.  She grew up at Bass Rocks on Haskell at the corner of Mt. Pleasant and Mooreland, and really loves the rock because it is the view she grew up loving.  A lovely meeting and experience that made my day today on Madfish Wharf.

I thought I had posted this weeks ago, but can’t see that I actually did, so sorry Genie if you’ve been watching for it.

Did You Know? (Love in a Watermelon)

Posted on by God's Morning

Some people find love on a two-way street, Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich and Lucy in the sky with diamonds, but Madfish Wharf neighbor, Violet Gray, finds love in watermelons.  This is the first watermelon she cut into and found a clearly visible heart on the inside.   She has since bought two more watermelons and found the same thing, although multiples of hearts in those.  She bought the lovely watermelons at Stop & Shop, and would love to know if others have found hearts in their watermelons.  Violet is a really sweet woman who really loves watermelon, so I think the hearts were for her alone, but it would be interesting to know if other have had similar heartfelt watermelon experiences.  These particular watermelons were grown in the US and are from Gibson Farms.  If you’ve found a heart in your watermelon, we’d love to hear about it.

Trapper John Setting 100 Lobster Pots At Double Speed

Chris Orsillo Uses The Kayalu Ram Saltwater Camera Mount To Film at 720p 60fps

The mount has worked flawlessly so far and I can’t wait to make a ton more videos mounting the camera in creative places now that I don’t have to worry about the mount I use rusting up in salt water conditions.

I pair it with the refurbished $79 saltwaterproof Kodak Playsport Zx3 which can actually take video under water for the perfect solution for the dock and on our lobster boats. The Kodak Playsport also takes 720p 60 frames per second video which allows me to edit slow motion or speed up the video . That feature isn’t even an option on many $1,500 DSLR’s. Adam Bolonsky turned me on to that camera after I found out he shot our footage from Saturday’s Greasy Pole with it.
Here is some of the footage he captured with it-

Here’s a link to buy it. I bought the refurbished one for $79 here-

This Thursday Night Blue’s Party at The Rhumb Line to host John Keegan

Posted on by Joanne

 

This time around we welcome back Mr. John Keegan® ,uvula waggler and leader of men. Johnny K. has been very busy of late, what with his myriad musical machinations and Ebay Defcon Fives. We’re lucky to have him in one piece. He’ll be pointing the bone at you all night long. Its gonna be a dancin’ nite, so wear your thong and your Dr. Scholl’s. You’re gonna need ’em.
  Blacking him up and chain smoking will be Mr. Gym Gwin, Fred’s brother (again!) on eggbeaters and symbols. He’s recuperating nicely from that conductor’s baton attack last week. None dare call it acnepuncture! John Hyde, jazz snob and loving husband, will be doing keyboard dooties. He’ll be a little tardy, cuz he has a late appointment at the  tattoo parlor, getting ” Sandi” shot onto his forehead. Roomer has it that some mysterious sexophone guy might show up, too…who knows?
Of course, Greg T. will be there, vacuuming the gene pool, and me, too, on base, and ready to steal third…
Steak nite is over, brought to its demise since several noted Republican friends of Fred have disappeared mysteriously. So, Fred and Trooper have instigated “Cajun Nite”.This sounds truly great! so, this week, the Rhumb Line is offering a choice of jambalaya or popgun shrimp all at the unbelievable price of $8.95. while it lasts. Fred has installed seat belts on all the chairs. Troop is a really great cook, and plays a mean sax, to boot. The food is really good, you really oughta czech it out. Sure beats ordering that worm pizza at Domino’s. Free bibs for all you droolers. Do it!
