coast of Maine | First off the farm job was loading salt water mussels.Every Sunday morning.Ride down to the docks.I was tallest so the hip boots fit me.Into the ocean in the mussel carriage.Zero temp or 75 out no matter.Friend up above would drop a rope with hook,I would reach down and hook the sunken bags with bare hands(swollen knuckles bad from cold) and attach the 90 lb sacks.The guys up top would wrap the rope around winch head and lift them up to the refer truck body.At low tide it 24 ft up.Afterwards we drove to wait for a semi that hauled them to Boston.WE stacked those friggers shoulder high.IDK how as I only weighed 115 lbs then.After off loading we would go to the boss's house for cash.Most always he would be in bed with his latest girl,call us in and say grab a 20$ each from the desk draw.We would leave there in awe at the near nude women(well nude but a sheet ) he always had.Actualy know some of those old ladies now.Thought we were rich.I was 15. | |
