A Gloucester Mix !

Weather has gone from one extreme to another, today felt Spring like with temps touching 60 degrees f. But weather won't stop "Paddy" Brien...83 years young! A former fisherman, "Paddy" now a lumper climbs down into the fish holds of the boats with his pitch fork to send the fish for their ride up to the dock!

    83! What a guy! I'm sure working and hanging out with the boys on the docks keeps him going. Wonderful!

    Wasn't the weather fantastic yesterday? It just seems to make the blood flow a little easier ; ) Looking forward to more of the same today.
