    New Car or Nearly New Car

    As opposed to my yellow beetle. But damn, that thing was great in the sand. I'm surprised I don't have a photo of it, other than one photo from the inside of it.

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    By the way, I did have a lemon in my life; a lime green, used Volkswagon Dasher. What was I thinking?

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    The invoice prep/finance guy only offered me the extra warranty because his job demanded that, and he did not argue a bit when I declined. No matter how many times you go over the advice about buying a new car, it's still stressful. I ended up not getting as much for my camry trade in as I...

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    I had my 2010 Camry for the last 12 years. I paid $17,000 for it in 2012 with 17,000 miles on it. It never let me down, not even once. Before that I had a 1991 Camry I bought used in 1996(?) and had that one for many years, but my memory on that one is failing.

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    Did you know new cars get a 4 year registration now, and now you can get up to 10 years if this has been passed. My next date is 2028. I looked up why...

    The Other Side of NJ

    They (black skimmers) look like they have no eyes.

    Snow coming next week?

    I'm going to Manasquan in the morning for a 10:30 appointment at a specialty dentist. I hope to be out of it before it gets bad.

    The Other Side of NJ

    In looking at the photos, and knowing some birders, it's obvious why some people become birders. I admire birders because unlike a plant, birds don't stand right next to you and wait for you to give them a name. Plus, the diversity is amazing.

    Chicken Soup

    Yeah, that sounds good. I don't like okra, but that can easily be skipped with the ladle. My brother Dan lives in northern louisiana, and I tried the local sausage. It's really savory.

    Chicken Soup

    That sounds good, but the onions tear me up now. But even when I had keilbasa, I never had it with onions. I rarely eat out. I usually eat my own plain cooking as I don't like how salty and doctored up take out is, though I have a slice of pizza at least once a week, and jersey mikes is great...

    Chicken Soup

    BJ's has this product which I really like, and does not bother me that much. It's great on a soft roll with light mustard, or even better cut up and mixed with saurkraut in the frying pan.

    Chicken Soup

    Wow! Although I'd have to take a pill like famatodine to eat that, I'd do it. Are those jalapenos?

    Chicken Soup

    I had not made turkey or chicken soup in 3 years. I missed it. 11 quarts to freeze today. So convenient with rolls and butter. I got busy when I saw shoprite had fresh soup at a whopping $5.99 for an 8 ounce serving. Even using 16 ounce servings as a guide, my 16 oz servings are $1.80 each (okay...

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    Despite some of my friends actually voting in the bottom row, I think that is just a needless anger vote and a touch of temporary insanity if you voted there. I'm in the top one.

    Western Living Magazines

    I am now offering these freely to anyone who truly wants them and who can meet me for delivery. I don't need any magazines in kind or money. I also offered them to others on my facebook page. If I get no response, I try to give them away to local thrift shops. I just don't have it in me to...

    Snow coming next week?

    I'm okay if it's infrequent light snow less than 3 inches, and melts overnight. I also like the buzz and anticipation of a heavy nor'easter. I can stand that twice a year.

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    No matter what happens, the people put up a decent defense. But when the radical conservationists with money got involved, we old-timers with a real connection to the land, who know intuitively when to back the vehicle up to avoid damaging our woods, were put in the same basket as those who...

    Music for the day

    My favorite tune while riding a stretch in the pines, like 72 to 563 down the red road. Some excellent guitar in there. "Edge of the Wire"
