Pemaquid Point Lighthouse Bristol Maine

See see, I do take pictures of things other than animals.

The lighthouse was commissioned in 1827 by President John Quincy Adams and built that year. Because of poor workmanship (salt water was used in the mortar mix), the lighthouse began to crumble and was replaced in 1835. The second contract for the construction stipulated that only fresh water be used. Keeper Isaac Dunham oversaw the construction and wrote in a letter to the US Lighthouse Establishment that the agreement was upheld and the work went well.

Marcus A. Hanna, the only man ever awarded both the Medal of Honor (earned during Civil War for bravery on July 4, 1863) and the Gold Lifesaving Medal (for rescuing life on January 28, 1885 at Cape Elizabeth, once served as keeper of the light. The station was automated in 1934.

Some interesting facts about lighthouses in America

THE FIRST AMERICAN LIGHTHOUSE TO USE ELECTRICITY was the Statue of Liberty in 1886.

THE ONLY LIGHTHOUSE EQUIPPED WITH AN ELEVATOR is Sullivan’s Island in Charleston, SC.

WHAT WAS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF LIGHTHOUSES IN AMERICA? There were never more than about 850 lighthouses in operation at once, although about 1,500 were constructed in this country over the years — the hey-day being about 1910. There were 267 constructed on the U. S. shores of the Great Lakes. Michigan had the most with about 140, followed by Maine with about 80.

WHAT IS A DAYMARK? Towers are given special (painted) patterns — diamond shapes, spirals, stripes, etc. — or colors to distinguish them from each other. These patterns were known as daymarks.

DID WOMEN SERVE IN LIGHTHOUSES? Lighthouse keeping was one of the first U.S. government jobs available to women in the 19th century.

    My surgery has been postponed till afgyer the first of the year.  My white blood cell count was way off.  I have been on antibiotics this past week.  Hopefully that did the trick and I can reschedule.  Very frustrated right now and in pain.

    Katfish, the jury is out on those new gloves. I rode to work this morning and my fingers were warmer than with some of my other gloves, but I don’t think I could make it for a substantial amount of riding time with those gloves.  Also, they are a bit bulky and it was harder to operate the controls.

    21 degrees out here in Centex this morning with a little frost on the punkin but no wind or precip. Should warm up above freezing after Ole Sol makes his presence felt.

    Today is designated as “Impeachment Day” here by a special proclamation issued to myself. Hereafter, all Dem Presidents will be impeached on December 18, if not sooner following their inauguration. I figure that if a man’s home is his castle, I can issue proclamations as often as I like, and none of the wild animals who trespass here have no say in the matter – especially the cats.

    Tomorrow is travel day, and of course, I haven’t lifted a finger in preparation for the trip. I normally don’t take much since I don’t stay long, but this if for 2 weeks, so I’ll have to take a little more stuff. Anyway, whatever I do, I’ll probably manage to forget something.

    SD, when you feed those turnip trimmings to the hens, do the eggs start tasting funny for a couple of days? Just wondering. Chickens do seem to like the green stuff, whether it’s lettuce or grass, and they seem to also like meat, especially if they start picking on somebody. Vicious little animals they are.

    OK, hope you all have a great Impeachment Day. No need to go to work since I declared it a national holiday. More later.

    PS – I’m generally not too sympathetic with other people’s problems, but I have a special place in my heart for people who have to live with pain. I was virtually immobilized for several years with my back and hip pain before replacement, and there were certainly times that I was ready to throw in the towel just to get relief from the pain. Just hang in there brother Squawk, get that old body in shape, and let the miracle workers work their magic on you when it’s time.

    #9 El Gordo, when you give the hens, greens, any kind of real fresh greens including some grasses, the egg yolk’s will be deep orange. You can always tell a real farm egg buy the color of the yolk, how tall it stands up and how not-runny, the white is. Farm eggs, don’t spill all over the skillet when frying and the whites stand half as tall as the yolk. laying mash has processed green feed in it but it just isn’t the same as real greens. Since it is now the dead of winter the egg production is way down as would be expected.

    #7 – HD actually offers a pretty decent goretex lined gauntlet (although overpriced like ANYTHING with the HD logo)

    OR you can go full extreme with Gerbings heated gloves (they also make vests, jackets, etc) – I’ve only used mine perhaps 5 or 6 times since I purchased them in ’05.

    FULL disclosure – these do NOT shed water at all – but they keep on making heat even when soaking wet. More modern versions may be water resistant or proof.

    If you opt for heated gloves be sure to spend the extra $$$ for the thermostat!

    I can’t imagine what one side or the other could say that hasn’t already been said several times. Frankly, I think this diplomacy and politi-speech has gone on long enough. Back in the good old days, men would back their words with deeds, and their honor was at stake. A gentleman spreading lies would be challenged to a dual which could often result in fatalities. A man’s word was his honor, and he was willing to back it with his life. Today’s weasels run for the tall grass every time there is a whiff of trouble in the air. Get out front of this deal and tell it like it is. The President had no trouble preparing a 6 page letter to Nancy telling her exactly what was on his mind – can you imagine one of these weasels standing up to another like that. Trump can teach the Rep how to fight, but first they have to want to learn to fight. Most would rather just skate through life slip sliding from side to side like the unprincipled weasels that they are. Step up and call a spade a spade, and a fraud a fraud. Get in those knee grows faces and don’t back down because you are afraid of being labeled a racist – they are going to label you a racist anyway, so there’s nothing to lose. Get up there and put up a fight. The Dems always do.

    It’s a great venue, not really a bad seat in the house. If you want to see an artist in an intimate setting it’s the place to go. We usually buy reserved gallery tickets in the balcony and get there a little early to get closer to the front. Floor seats are good too.

    My large venue concert days are over. Places like Heights Theater are the only places I go anymore.

    I don’t think I have ever heard so much pontificating BS in one place, and we are barely an hour into this circle jerk. Dems calling out to the founding fathers, who they routinely refer to as slave owing, old, white men, are now all of a sudden saints. Bar scene from Star Wars does not even begin to note the freaks and crazies that cruise freely along the aisles of congress on the Dem side. Trump is obviously the only thing standing between us and them; and even worse, we are the only thing standing between them and President Trump. They are not really coming for him, they are coming for us. And that’s scary.

    A week ago I had arthroscopic surgery to repair a rotator cuff that I destroyed last summer because I was attempting something that in retrospect was pretty ill-advised. Two of the four tendons keeping my left arm correctly positioned were completely torn. I couldn’t lift a 1-lb weight at arms length.

    Now I’m just hanging out at home going completely nuts because I can’t really do anything. I took 20lbs of moronic fluffy fury for a long leisurely walk a while ago. It was the first time I made it out of the house/patio in a week.

    I stopped taking the narcotics a couple days ago. Unless I move my arm in a direction I shouldn’t, there’s no pain. It’s very stiff right now due to the restrictiveness of the sling/“shoulder immobilization device” I’ll have for at least he next five weeks. Normally I’d start physical therapy late this week or next, but the doctor is concerned about the amount of damage he repaired and wants it to really heal before therapy starts, so that’ll likely be the first full week of Jan. ick.

    #35 mharper, yup, we’re versatile, we adapt as we have to. I was born in the great state of Alabama, first capital of the Confederacy, and I am proud to be from here. I have also lived in Florida, Georgia, Kansas and in 1982, I moved to Texas. Wife was with me in all those states, except Florida. Texas is my adopted state country and if I didn’t have the old Homeplace here in Alabama, I’d still be in Texas. I am proud that my kids are true Texans and they always will be, just like I’ll always be an Alabamian.
    Both my kids have expressed a desire to move here, after all, they spent an awful lot of time here when they were young and they all love the farm, but I told them to stay the course, because for the most part, you’ll have much better job opportunities in Texas. The boy had to move to Kaliforina, because of his job, but he makes enough money that the high cost of living only puts a dent in his/their lifestyle. of course, after a few years he’ll be able to move somewhere else, Scottsdale, I’m guessing and he loves it there.
    In any case “Life is Good” in my world and daughter N son-in-law will be here this weekend to celebrate Christmas. I haven’t whacked down a cedar for this house yet, but I have one staked out that I’ll have up when they get here and another one that we can go cut down for the Farm House where they’re staying. 😉

    I decided to turn on the Trump rally in Minneapolis. He’s a lot better than those loons in congress. I guess they can’t wait to get out of town for Christmas. I’ll not be surprised if a few of them come back after the holidays with big chunks bitten off their azzes by their constituents. Most of them will probably go on a junket rather than return home – safer there.

    Got most of my stuff gathered up for tomorrow’s road trip. Yea for me.

    PS – Trump just went through his Peter Strozk/Lisa Page routine again, highlighted I’m sure because she is supposed to be suing him for making fun of her while in the clutches. It’s Trump’s fault that she is having to go to counseling and can’t find a job – not her fault for getting caught screwing her boss and making it nationwide news/outrage/joke.

    I met with another catechist this afternoon at 1:00 pm to audit our students’ payments, especially the first year confirmation students. We had confusing entries on their accounts and some parents had complained that our balance numbers didn’t match theirs.

    I thought it would take an hour, two at the most. 3 1/2 hours later, we were still mopping up mistakes and trying to find records. Our DRE had used several different receipt books, failed to clearly record beginning charges and payments, and the “balance due” numbers I was given when helping the catechist prepare her records wasn’t noted what payments had been applied before that number had been calculated.

    I had to search the DRE’s office for the receipt books and finally found where the beginning charges were entered (although the entries weren’t all clear – why was one kid charged $200 and another $150 – and yet another $70? Or was the $70 a payment and not a charge?).

    I think we finally cleared up all but 3 accounts. Our brains were f-r-i-e-d by the time we got through checking, cross checking, and redoing the math. I told our lead catechist he owed us a drink, several drinks, even though I don’t drink. But I sure wanted one by the time we finished. /sigh

    I was able to get a dental appointment this morning instead of early January. I was concerned because I thought I might’ve cracked on of my baby teeth (I still several in my mouth, thanks to my Dad’s genetics). My dentist is also a parishioner at my church, and I catechized her two kids in my classes. I see her most Sundays and help her with the church decorations. We’re friends.

    I don’t go to the dentist often – I have a “clean” mouth that doesn’t build plaque hardly at all. There are some visits that are “well, that was quick, see ya’!” It’s been several years since I’ve been there, and I got x-rays, a thorough cleaning, and a check-up. Turns out it’s all good. I literally “sprained” my tooth when I bit down on that food and thought I’d cracked it. There are ligaments around the roots and I kinda pushed them harder than they could handle. No cavities, despite the lack of enamel on my teeth, no cracks, all clean.

    And then she refused to charge me for any of it. I wanted to pay, but she refused. I tried several times, but she wanted to do it. “I appreciate everything you do at the church,” she kept saying. I don’t do it for her, but I appreciate her sentiment so I let it drop. Those who want to give needs folks that will gratefully receive, or else it either gets awkward, embarrassing, or rude.

    So I hugged her and thanked her. Mebbe I can figure out something to do for her in the future. I appreciate all she does, also.

    I was watching Trump when the impeachment vote came in. I assume that he was watching a feed while doing his thing in Battle Creek, and he seem quite happy that all the Reps held and 3 Dems voted with him also. He ranted briefly about the unfairness of it all, but he did not seriously play the victim card and he was pretty upbeat. I didn’t think he was ever going to stop. The rally just went on and on, so I guess he used that outlet to burn off a lot of steam. Knowing what I know about how Trump plays ball, I get the feeling that he may be planning to come back with a counter punch for the Dems, but overall I expect that he will take it out on them come election time. I suspect a lot more loose change just got dropped into backing Reps is some contested Dem races. If I’ve learned on thing, don’t bet against the Trumpster – he’s got nine lives and knows where to go get some more if he needs them.

    Here’s a pic of the mercury suspect. Note the face tattoo — I can’t make out what it says even when I enlarged the pic — and the bizarre hair style. Looks like the butter done slid off his noodles.

    Another Democrat, presidential candidate and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, voted “present” on both impeachment resolutions.

    LOL. Yup, Russian operative.

    Good late evening Hamsters.

    Late to the party because of a busy day at PT and hairdresser appoint later plus catch up around the house and late lunch out. Did not see any of the impeachment garbage on the tube, and glad I didn’t bother to watch those morons leave no doubt they are morons. Took an afternoon nap instead and am a whole lot better for it.

    Suppose tomorrow will be awash with media explaining what didn’t happen that they wanted to happen as if it had happened as they wanted. They’re all nuts with TDS.
    Hope they all have headaches.

    While no one was paying attention …

    The 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals by a 2-1 vote concluded the original law’s key funding mechanism known as the individual mandate — requiring most Americans to purchase health insurance or face a tax penalty — was properly eliminated by Congress and therefore the entire law could not be enforced.

    Back in 2012 you may recall John Roberts kept Obamacare alive by ruling that the individual mandate was a tax created by Congress and therefore constitutional. When this ends up at the SCOTUS it will be hard to rule that Congress now doesn’t have the authority to eliminate the individual mandate that they created in the first place.

    Did you see Nasty’s evil glare she flashed at her members when they started to cheer after the impeachment vote? “We have to pretend to be somber! Don’t you see my funeral git up???”
