For 67 you are looking pretty good. Centerville fitness is paying off. I continue to walk the dog about 3 miles a day while wearing a 25 pound pack. That goes on year round. I have a good four legged personal trainer. I miss seafood. The closest we get is bass and calico bass from the local lakes. Once in a while we buy some shrimp and make scampi or alfredo. Haven't had a lobster in years. But the pork here, oh, remember Forest Gump and how Bubba described cooking shrimp, that's pork out here. One little old woman could shuck all those in about 8 minutes. Move her hands so fast you couldn't see 'em. And complain about arthritis while moving that quick. She'd say I used to be fast, but I've slowed down. Last time we were in New England we went to Sandwich Neck Beach to pick stones. We've been cutting and polishing some. That's a great beach at low tide in the off season for rocks. And in the off season parking is free. But traffic on the cape in the off season has picked up substantially since we were kids. I can't imagine what the summer is like. The harvest out here in Iowa has been good. Several five gallon buckets of potatoes and sweet potatoes, huge winter squash, we were GIVEN 10 bushles of apples, 3 of pears, one of cherries as our fruit trees are mostly small. We got a good harvest from the blackberries, dozens of pints of jam. that was from blackberries only two years old. Oh, the mulberries, a half gallon of vinegar was fermented. And the radishes, onions, garlic, beets, carrots, pickle cucumbers, summer squash, tomatoes, still eating fresh tomatoes, peppers, rhubarb, green beans, two half gallons of sauerkraut fermented, a second crop of beets that got pickled. And herbs. So many dried herbs. Yah, it was a good garden this year. Lots of compost and manure and good well timed rain. As always, good to see you. Glad you are well. If you ever drive west on I80, find me and I'll put you up for the night.
Living by the sea allows us to eat lots of seafood. And of course it’s always fresh. I love what you’re doing also harvesting plentiful fruit, and vegetables from your garden. Can never say anything negative about a farmer who lives off his land. I also enjoy farming but here on the Cape the soil is not that great. I can grow beautiful flowers, but that’s about it. In Oxford and better yet in Sutton, I had a really big garden which produced amazing vegetables and I also grew Christmas trees. Everything is great and we just adapt to where we’re at, but it’s all good and we just need to be healthy and happy. Always good to know you’re out there. Phil, you take care my friend. Thank you for the offer of a place to stay.
Scallops are very colorful and interesting to look at underwater. Always struggling for survival with adaptations like the 32 bluish and purple eyes seeing 180 degrees.
Nice to get enough for a meal these days. You guys need shucking lessons though. Used to shuck 5 pecks an hour every night after dinner. Mom Dad and myself could shuck 6 bushel in an hour and a half. We towed dredges.
Great Video! A lot of information on the scallops
Great to see the underwater video since I won’t be doing any scalloping I love watching and seeing you getting a good haul!!’
Now we just need Steve to prepare them for dinner
Great Video! A lot of great information on scallops.

Very interesting!

Enjoyed this! I had no idea that they swam . Wish I had gone with you but now I know how to get them for next time. Thanks for the great video!!
I forgot to mention that the water was a little bit cold, could use a neoprene hoodie next time. Shivering went away in no time.
