In a recent maritime disaster two freighters collided and sank while headed for the Benjamin Moore paint factory. One was loaded with red pigment, the other with blue pigment. Both crews were marooned.

Dave says,
Well,I’ve signed up for elective surgery on my flabby elbow skin (hetero-weenisectomy) this Thursday and will be be busy recuperating with a Martini or three, so , in the meantime, why not stop holding your breath and inhale a little bit of Ms. Lisa Marie who will be charging in on her caparisoned horse, lance aboiling ,to skewer you with another night of electro-convulsive blues, and other music. And she’s bringing along the right people. She’s got Johnny Juxo to bang his shoe on the keyboard, “Silverfish” Steve on scratchy catarrh, and Dana “Bonefish” Bonardi on the bangulators. Sounds like a plan. Me, I’ll be showing up late in my black suit, in case you wanna see what I look like when I buy the farm! (minus the formaldehyde).

A little pricier than most of my picks, but what a great opportunity for a beautiful day spent outside before the weather gets too hot.
Saturday, April 30th 10:00-2:00 $28 for members and $35 for nonmembers
This hike explores the wild wonders of the Crane Estate! We’ll launch our long walk at the Cedar Point Trail and follow it to the Ipswich River, then meander along the beach and through seldom-traveled paths to the trailhead at the Crane Wildlife Refuge. We’ll wander the dunes to Essex Bay, then make our way along the backside of Crane Beach to reach the Essex River. A bag lunch will be delivered to us at the approximate halfway point, and will give us the sustenance we’ll need to finish the hike! Come prepared for a leisurely long-way-around walk of about 8 miles.
Pick #3: The Arnold Arboretum
Although I haven’t been in a couple of year, I truly LOVE this place. Such a gorgeous slice of heaven, right within the city limits, that makes you feel as though you are miles and miles from it all. With more than 280 acres to explore, you’ll certainly be able to make a day of it.

Update 2010 @WeberGrills Brick Red Performer Restoration Project
More From Joey’s BBQ Blog
http://www.northeastbbq.com
Other than the cracked table I knew this Performer had good bones. She was pretty much scratch free, the bowl was regularly cleaned by the previous owner but she just needed to be scraped down and buffed up.
Before and after pics-
There was a little bit of surface rust on the wire shelf on the bottom . When I was at the owners house I scratched at it with my fingernail and saw that it came right off so I knew it would clean up nicely. The broken table surface was a bit of a concern but I knew where I could get one.
Will you look at the inside of that bowl shine after an hour or so with the razor scraper and steel wool?
After cleaning the bowl thoroughly, the lid got some love with some steel wool and soapy water. Just like new! Before and after-
