Good morning Brian, I hope you had an awesome Memorial Day!
Morning Kevin! Great pics of the wedding and festivities. Thank you for sharing that my friend.
 
What's going on here Paul?
roadside america. every tourist needs to stop here and get a $36 lobster roll. meanwhile it creates huge traffic jams due to people running back and forth in front of cars. I always avoid driving by here especially around lunch time. people line up HOURS before they even open. it's worse than the Apple Store on new iPhone day.
 
There's a Facebook page of people posting pictures of them flipping it off as they drive by lol. When I worked out that way, I got in before the lunch rush and left after it so traffic was never too bad!
I try to do the same. it's just crazy when you see people camping out at 9 in the morning already. I have one other picture that was closer to it that the guy was really annoyed. probably a local that was embarrassed he had his picture taken when he too complains! everyone always seems miserable standing in that line. I wouldn't care if it didn't create such a traffic issue. the town always tries to make them pay for traffic improvements but no one would probably ever stop there if it wasn't for them. the only time i'v stopped there is a handful. back when Gipettos toy store was there.

Is it just a roadside food truck or is it a permanent building?
 
John,

Hey brother! This weekend was busy as usual. Saturday turned into a marathon on the stand build. I tore it all down and rebuilt it being 60" wide instead of 48". Took the wife to urgent care, she has a terrible case of Poison Ivy ... ALL over... she's miserable which in turn makes me miserable. Married guys will understand that!
Sunday was more of the same, doing housework, tank maintenance.
Monday, I tried to avoid everyone. It is a rough day for me. However, I did go pick up my Meridian 35, the new three headed banana torch, a bag of salt, new Hanna HR nitrate and couple other things from a buddies house. He sells corals at swaps and to several local fish stores. He got me most of it for wholesale through his business license. I'll post pics of the banana torch. It is different than my banana grail. The banana grail has green on the tentacles and a green mouth, the true banana doesn't have green... just straight up yellow!
how'd we get so much poison ivy? our coastlines here seem to be inundated with it. I think the last time I had it was like 40 years ago when we figured out that the cats would lay in it and when you pet them later that night. Cha Ching! cats are all indoors pretty much since then. only time it's an issue is when you get a notice from school/camps saying FYI...we noticed some children were playing where there was poison ivy. yet they never tell the kids don't play there first!
 
Thank you! We have been married 8 years and together 9 and its one decision in my life that I have never second guessed or regretted. He's my best friend and works hard to take care of us.
Happy Anniversary!
 
Is it just a roadside food truck or is it a permanent building?
permanent. for like ever. and there's a lobster shack across the street and a few other places right there. but this one gets so much publicity. There's little shacks everywhere though. personally, I do not like the cold version with mayo. that is the prime one that sells. I like the good ole hot with melted butter. great. Amanda hooked me to buying ribs today. now I want lobster. hmmmm. no. I can't do that. I'll wait till tomorrow. that's too much food for me in one night.
 
Update on my son he has pneumonia they sent him home with some strong antibiotics and told him to rest.
Glad it wasn't anything cardiac!

I hate to admit this to you but if I was a tourist I’d probably be camping out there, please don’t hate me even more.

I was going to suggest pneumonia but it's really the wrong time now. so it might be walking. as an fyi....if you start coughing or hubby does, go right down immediately because it's the contagious one. we got hit with that but there was snow on the ground. just never had an issue with arms and legs.
