The Best Door Mat
Last year, when Sara and I went to Maine, we stumbled by these door mats that are made of float rope used by lobster fisherman. I thought it was the coolest thing. The float ropes tended to tangle up the Right Whales so there was a push to switch to sinking ropes. The mats are a way to repurpose the old rope. Well, for my b-day, my sneaky wife remembered my fondness of these scratchy, durable, mats and got me a mat of my very own. She knows me the best. The perfect gift for this birthday boy.

Hey Johnnie,
DeleteThank you so much for the comments. I'm hoping to make another video here in the next week or so. I'm well overdue. I've been up your way once and would love to fish in that area. I'll be sure to give you a shout if I make it up.
