Stuff We Love- Breville Juice Fountain Compact Fruit and Vegetable Juicer BJE200XL

When the Mrs and I went to Playa del Carmen one thing that we really loved was that for breakfast and every 30 yards of so there was a joint that sold fresh juiced juices. It was invigorating and a great alternative to the three cups of coffee way I normally would start my days.

The Mrs got us a Breville Juice Fountain Juicer and we’ve been using it daily. I’m not one to eat an apple or orange in the middle of the day so this has been a way to get a bunch of fruit into my system and the drinks are delicious!

Here’s me making one-

Timelapse Video- The Launching of The Beaver From East Gloucester Marine Railways From Good Morning Gloucester

Bringing it to you first, natch!

This is 18 minutes of video compressed into 1 minute 40 seconds.

The new Boston Tea Party Museum replica ship was launched this morning from East Gloucester Marine Railways.

The ship will be part of a Tea Party museum including the replica ships from the Tea Party and is scheduled to open in June in the Fort Point Channel in Boston.  The spot of the museum  is close to the original site of the December 1773 tea party, where colonists dumped tea in the harbor to protest British taxes.

Time To Work Out- Gonna Hit the MAC

After sitting on a beach for a week straight and eating like a pig in Playa del Carmen I’ve decided to not let myself blow up like an Alabama tick and am going to start working out again to keep off that winter spare tire.

image001

I decided on The Manchester Athletic Club for several reasons.  The kids take swimming lessons there and the Mrs does her newfangled workouts there but also with the Gloucester and Manchester locations I can bring the girls in and set them up in the Gymazing class while I get my work out on in Manchester or I have the option to pop in the Gloucester location on a day when there might only be a couple of boats out fishing.  Being able to spend a little time with the kids at the gym and for the Mrs to have some time to herself will be a big time bonus as well!

Elizabeth Harrigan talks about getting back to working out after some time away from the gym.  I can totally relate.

It also didn’t hurt that they have a zero to join through January 31st deal.

Check Out Elizabeth Harrigan in this video-
