Kris was an amazingly talented songwriter and performer. Sunday Morning Coming Down is one of my favorites, sung by him and perhaps made more famous by Johnny Cash. Another one of my favorites is Here Comes That Rainbow Again. Not often played, but one of Kris' simplest songs and one of his...

I had the same Magellan as you, Enormiss. It was my first too. I threw it out a few years ago when the screen finally gave up the ghost. I have had two Garmin 60's. I lost my first one by donating it to a highway after leaving it on my truck box. I love my 60 and I will never part with it. I...

WMA Ranges allow guests to shoot on the range with a person who holds a valid hunting license. I must say that WMA ranges are getting better and thay have expanded the caliber limitations. You can now shoot up to .30 cal. centerfire which includes the 30-06...

I saw that Guy mentioned he saw some people getting ready to hang a stand yesterday and I thought everyone would like to know the hunting seasons. Archery opened in many zones last week on September 14, so some of you may have seen bow hunters already. Archery will be fully open Statewide on...

As a Professional Planner, I live the nightmare of navigating the Pinelands CMP nearly every day. In 2023 the Commission adopted new stormwater management rules that are far more stringent than the State's rules for areas outside of Pinelands. Clearing of more than 5,000 s.f. is now is now...

I changed the spark plug once and I clean the air filter every once in a great while. Cast iron trans housing with bronze gears. They really do last forever. All American-made back then when they were based in Troy NY. I bought it new right after we moved in 1984 and it became popular with...

Yes, I use Osmocote on my tomatoes and peppers as a side dress just as the plants start setting fruit. It's a very slow release and it has never burned anything. My vegetable and tobacco garden prep is the same every year. At the end of the season I yank out all of my plants. In April, I rake...

In my limited experience with yeast, I got off flavors. One year I didn’t add enough sugar, but I did add the yeast. It was the driest wine I ever made. I have been making wine for close to 30 years now and I just rely on the sludge in the bottom of the bucket to get my yeast action.

I've been growing my own Burley tobacco for about 5 or 6 years now and I make my own loose leaf chew with it. This year, I tired a Kelly Burley variety from a guy known as The Tobacco Guy on Etsy. The germination in trays in my window sills was probably 100% and the plants were very vigorous...

Well, I would be remiss if I didn't make this post today. :) It's wine season and I was at Gino's in Hammonton this morning stocking up on Barbera. 36 gallons again this year. No yeast, just the sludge in the bottom of the buckets. 36 gallons seems like the magic number for the last few years...

I agree Guy, knee-high boots would have helped. My mistake was not expecting them in the type of woods I was in. The mosquito population was literally the worst I have ever seen. That was another anomaly about this place. Very upland and very dry, but with Asian Tigers, that doesn’t seem to matter.

No barriers were added Bob. No one has ever gone over the sides before or after the improvements were made in the 40 year I have lived here. No guard rails makes for better drivers.

Happy Chigger Season. Here I am again to report my first case of chiggers. :( Doing a 48 acre survey update today with one of my guys in Franklin Township, Gloucester County in a hardwood forest with a light understory. Not chigger territory in my mind, but the chiggers thought otherwise. Of...

Anything within 15' of the road would be long gone now. The Pestletown Road stream crossing of Clark's Branch was completely reconstructed about15 years ago. The road was widened and the brush and trees were removed for at least 20 feet from the new edge of the road on the west side and maybe 15...

That's the same thing I was thinking.

I looked at Find A Grave and there appear to be only two Sloans buried in the Atco Cemetery. You would think there would be more given that Sloantown is described as being between Atco and Jackson. Between Atco and Jackson is a very small area that anyone today would just call Atco.

This old post mentions Sloantown. I have never heard that name mentioned before. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/sloantown-jacques-bridge-oak-knoll-jacllin-new-bridge.6992/

I did a lot of work for the Giberson family who started the Berlin Auction in 1940. I also went there nearly every Saturday night as a kid with my parents and bought soft pretzels, drag racing and hunting magazines and Revell model building kits. Me and my Dad always stopped at Charlie's Clam...

Berlin Farmers Market??

Hey Dude shoes? I never thought a Piney would be seen wearing those. :)
