To get the higher bypass ratio wouldn't it make more sense to mount four larger engines, in bigger nacelles, instead of eight small ones? Bypass ratio and thus fuel economy is achieved by making the fan disc physically larger.

You will not make it far beyond the Batsto Lake canoe ramp heading north from Batsto Village. Right there begins the sandiest stretch of the road. Don't try. Instead approach from Atsion.

Along with the F-16s there was a KC-135, which is a variant of the now long-gone 707s. The USAF has managed to keep these flying now since the mid-1950s by buying up civilian airline 707s as they were retired and cannibalizing them for parts. The longevity of some of these airframes is...

You could theoretically wipe the contents with a strong magnet. I just threw away two very old ones and didn't bother because they were IDE interface and even if they wanted to steal my data, who has a computer with IDE anymore? I doubt there was anything on there anyway. A bunch of MP3s I got...

I have a similar one, maybe a little larger, made by snap-on. I bought it about 10 years ago. I work on cars for a living, so wrenching on stuff in my garage is not really a hobby at all, more of something that happens in an emergency. The snap-on one allows me to lift the car 48", which is...

One way to determine the age of that section of wall is to look closely at the mortar and see if it's made of lime or portland cement. Lime mortar is softer and when struck makes a dull thud. Portland mortar will make a sharper metallic sound and can't be easily scratched with a metal tool...

Could an informational sign have once stood there?

If you are stopped while along a road, I would think you could make the argument that you are travelling along a public way in order to get to a location on the other side. Many of those roads are owned by Burlco anyway, not the state forest. The larger dirt roads like Tuckerton, Carranza, QB...

My suggestions would be Shaws Mill Pond, Bostwick Lake, Menantico Ponds, Union Lake, or the Maurice River near the Almond Road crossing. None of these are state park/forest and none are affected by the closure. All of these are down Rt. 55 and within an hour of the Philly bridges.

https://www.nj.com/cumberland/2020/04/forest-fire-that-burned-1500-acres-in-south-jersey-caused-by-lightning-officials-say.html If there was anything still smoldering last night, it isn't now.

Hadn't been in a few years, Al. It was crowded. Do you drink out of this thing?

Ok, then I saw them still working on the one south at 1pm today. I guess I shouldn't be surprised it jumped the road, it's pretty narrow. I go that way to get to Shaws Mill Pond sometimes. Al, no, I don't live near you but I went hiking in the bluffs Wednesday and again today and drove through...

From my drive today, it looked like the fire didn't burn east past 555 or north of Ackley, so I doubt it.

Just drove by, they had Ackley blocked off west of Whitehead, and 555 blocked south of Whitehead. I could see a FFS truck down the road spraying some brush but I wasn't able to see any flames or heavy smoke. Nice campfire smell everywhere though.

My late friend Erik made a video for his song "Oh Pennsyltucky" here in 2014.

I grew up in East Vineland. Really just re-exploring those places.

The 2015 has air conditioning, a touch screen radio, power windows, and a very smooth automatic transmission as standard equipment. Also maybe a backup camera and a built-in brake controller for the trailer. It also doesn't cost much more, inflation adjusted, than in 1991. All the bells and...

At ages 33, 32, and 8 in my household we aren't exactly at high risk but I've been taking this pretty seriously. I'll admit it is hard to stay home, especially now that the weather is warming up. If everyone could just put the brakes on, and all at the same time, we could likely being this all...

I actually didn't know that the newer HD stuff had particulate filters. I assumed (wrongly) that they were still exempt. We rented a car in Iceland last year that was a turbo diesel four cylinder and it had none of that stuff. It got 55mpg (diesel was $12/gal) but was noisy and stank. That's...

Leaving shortly to walk at Maurice river bluffs. Hopefully no signs indicating closure.
