    New Car or Nearly New Car

    I agree, and in fact I downloaded the carfax they had, and maybe in a couple weeks I'll find someone with a carfax account and see just when they really sold it. And what really bothers me is I could not find their policy of 'first come, first served'. And even if it is in some obscure place on...

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    I've never seen this dirty trick before. They give you a price, and then tell you to bring a car to trade, or the price goes up to 27,800.

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    The Toms River salesmen told me they have an agreement with Toyota and probably other dealers too, but I don't know the details. I was mad as hell though. It was an Avalon with only 1,800 miles on it since the person bought it in Nov 2021.

    Forked River Mountain Hike

    They have been trying to improve them yes. They've filled in some of the big holes with large stones and rocks. I'm not sure if they actually finished it at all though. German may know.

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    Hi Bob, Yes, the vehicle was available at the time you made the appointment. Unfortunately, a customer came into the store Saturday afternoon and decided to purchase the vehicle on spot. We do not hold any vehicles for any customers, as we are first come first serve.

    This last skit really brings it back how stark work efforts were prior to computers.

    Forked River Mountain Hike

    Jack, proceed very cautiously. Stop and turn around if you start to have doubts. There is not much (if anything) on a Civic that I know of that is strong enough to withstand a tow out of mud. Take a look underneath your vehicle now, so you can decide where to put a tow strap should you need to...

    Western Living Magazines

    If I'm not outside or on the computer, I read quite a lot. I have 86 "Sunset, Western Living" magazines from the 1960's. I don't want to try and sell them widely due to the hassle of shipping and dealing with people online. If you have a collection of magazines that I would enjoy, I'd swap these...

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    So Saturday I take a shine to this 2022 toyota advertised by Autolenders in PA. I signal my interest and boom, the emails come in. I says, "you are quite far from me though". Guy says, "no problem, we ship closer to you and you are under no obligation" I say "fine, please send to Toms River NJ...

    Comcast hack may affect over 35 million users

    I was told last week by RW Barnabus healthcare they were compromised too and so were some of my health records. They gave me identity theft insurance for a year from Experian. I signed up Saturday. I still have a password book hidden in the house. I don't even trust password apps.

    Yes, a lot of the tories split for eastern Canada when the deal went down.

    Comcast hack may affect over 35 million users

    Reading the website, that happened in October. They are bums, you know? I think hackers should go to the same prison where murderers are. What Happened? On October 10, 2023, one of Xfinity’s software providers, Citrix, announced a vulnerability in one of its products used by Xfinity and...

    Tory Pine Tree Robbers

    By some estimates, tories/loyalists were almost 1/4 to 1/3 of New Jersey. There is a couple chapters on them in this book I came across somewhere. Great reading. Copyright 1902, by Francis Bazley Lee. This is volume 2.

    Forked River Mountain Hike

    Give 'er a try! I don't live too far from there. If I can I'll pull you out.

    Forked River Mountain Hike

    Guy, it ain't like the old days. It's even worse now going that way. Puddle after puddle after puddle, even in a drought due to the clay bottom. The county was working on the road 3 weeks ago, making some spots as soft as a muck bog. He's best walking in off Lacey Road.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I was worried about a big pine behind my rental. It's behind my bedroom. The wind died down around 5 AM I think, and so did I after thinking about it for an hour or so.

    2023 Advent calendar

    Go ahead, I like jokes. In the late 1990's through about 2007, I had in my cubicle, on the wall a list of the greatest novels of all time. I was determined to read them all. I would read during lunch. I checked off only a third of them. The worst ones were like that, including Jane Austen stuff...

    I read that "masterpiece" to see what the hype was about. I got very little out of it. Can't even recall anything from it except the memory of a brooding Heathcliff.

    The Batona Trail Diary, the First Thirty Miles

    I first drove a car, a 1963? Caprice I think, on that sand road to the right of New Lisbon Road. That is very steep where the trail is.
