I had to do a double take before I realized that these dogs were fake dogs placed on this dock to ward off seagulls.

Sunken Wallet and Navy ID
Sunken Wallet and Navy ID, originally uploaded by captjoe06.Mark Ring, Captain of the lobster boat the Stanley Thomas recovered this wallet and naval ID about a mile and a half south of Kettle Island in 150 feet of water after Hurricane Nole last fall.
If anyone knows this person or their family he would like to return it to the guy or his family. He was born in 1910. The date of issue on the ID was 1953, I’m surprised it held up so well under water.
Mark supposed that it was buried under the mud for a while and was stirred up by the storm. That is how it has been preserved.
To see the ID and wallet up close click the picture and then click “all sizes” above the picture once you get to the Flickr page. Its quite interesting to see the picture up close.

Damn that’s just nasty. I remember as a young child our freezer at the house crapped out. There was some frozen squid that defrosted and stunk that god damned freezer up.
To this day, probably 30 years later I remember just how foul that smell was. ICK!

The machine demonstrated here is supposedly a humane way to kill lobsters by stunning them with an electric current. How stunning them with an electric current is somehow more humane than any other way of killing a lobster is beyond me.
Some silly companies will rush out to purchase them so they can make their customers feel better about eating lobster because “THEY SAY” it’s humane.
LOL Bananaheads!

I cruised down the heritage Center to get a shot of the latest construction and lo and behold Whim was cruising around on this cool little 4 wheeler plowing the place out.
Looked like he was having a blast.

Causeway Panini 2.7 Pound Eggplant Parm
Causeway Panini 2.7 Pound Eggplant Parm, originally uploaded by captjoe06.This is not a doctored photo. The Eggplant Parm I got from Causeway Panini yesterday weighed 2.7 pounds. The only reason I had to weigh it was because when the delivery person handed me the bag I thought there had to be two dinners in it. When I discovered that the bag only contained my one dinner I just had to throw it on the grading scale we have down here at the dock.
I ate about 35% of it and will try to eat another third of it this morning.
For $5.95 you could feed a family of three or a family of 4 if they are not big eaters.
Crazy good deal!

Huge Mistake
Huge Mistake, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Don’t ever do this to yourself. Unless you have a gazillion dollars(and if you have a gazillion dollars you could buy a shiny new boat).
What I’m talking about is this big huge boat that some poor guy fell in love with. He probably got a great deal on it because it was in poor shape and said to himself that with a little work he could make this old boat new again. A dream many people have.
The problem that most people don’t figure on is the cost to tie these huge boats up, and the cost to renovate something this huge by the time you get done with it you could have gone out and bought someone else’s mistake that they already sunk way too much money into and will never recover.
I feel for this guy. As time goes on and he continues to make the dockage payments and dump incredible amounts of money into this beast he is gonna be scratching his head saying “what did I get myself in to?”
Or maybe hes a masochist and enjoys the inflicted pain that this type of project ends up bringing on one’s self.

Paint Factory in Rough Shape
Paint Factory in Rough Shape, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
The Paint Factory isn’t looking so good.
It’s too bad that the guy that proposed to make a residence out of the place and maintain the exterior exactly the way it is wasn’t allowed to. Otherwise instead of deteriorating like this, it could have been preserved for all of us to enjoy and payed for with private dollars.
The obstructionists that got in the way can rejoice in another project they stymied.
Hooray!

Closed up tighter than a bulls ass at noon on a Saturday. I guess there isn’t much business in February to keep it open.
