Dave Jewell brought in this blue tinted lobster. It isn’t nearly as blue as some of the other ones we’ve got in the past but I thought I’d throw the pic up anyway to add to the collection. To see the mutated lobster and crab slide show click this text

Normally I wouldn’t post a picture of a Lobster Boat Model but in this case, this particular lobster boat model looked almost like an exact replica of the Stanley Thomas, Mark Ring’s Lobster Boat. They sell these models at The GMHC gift shop.

Lobstermen are starting to gear up for the coming season. They go through the rope and take out knots. They clean and repair the traps. They paint buoys. It’s coming. As the water warms the lobsters will be on the move and our lobstermen will be ready to catch em.

Club Stupid must be ramping up for their annual spring bash. The one where I always stare over at while at work and they are whooping it up having a grand old time. Club Stupid Knows How To Party- They’re Professionals.

Here’s Pete Mondello with some repaired buoys. The thing about the Mondello boys is that they never ever stop. They always are doing something weather it be tinkering on the boat or repairing traps or buoys. They never stop. Talk about energy. It’s just go-go-go.

Moments after I took this picture the Kippen boys shoveled off the deck and headed out to go lobstering.
They got to about the Paint Factory when the engine alarm sounded. Realizing that the temperature of the engine had spiked dramatically they did the right thing and shut it down immediatly. Many times in the bitter cold cooling lines in engines freeze up and it can cause an engine to overheat. You can get a blown head gasket and many other problems. Shutting it down right away was the right course of action to prevent damage to the engine.
Kind of ironic that extreme cold creates a problem with overheating but that’s what happens when the coolant doesn’t get to circulate.
