    Airships and Lakehurst N.A.S.

    Here is the latest addition to my collection. There are several variations of this photo and it is one of my favorites. The airship Los Angeles tethered outside of Hangar 1. If anybody has any info about the rigid airship history at Lakehurst and/or the BOMARC program, I would like to hear from...

    Pipelines and the Pinelands

    Reading this article, it now makes sense to me why they are laying the pipe in what seemed to be a very random sequence. They lay a section then cover it over then start a different section a distance away. I've seen them do this at least a half dozen times with none of the sections connected to...

    Vintage Pinelands Book

    I was recently given this book. Has anyone ever heard of it or seen it before. It seems to be a tremendous reference. No matter what I tried, The 2 photos defaulted lying on their sides.

    Headlights

    That is the caveat I forgot to include. He told me the lens has to be masked real good because the fluid would remove paint.

    Headlights

    There is a commercial product to do the same thing with very little elbow grease. I was told that it is nothing more than brake fluid but I don't know for sure as I've never tried it.

    Southern Reliability Link Construction Begins

    The serpent like Southern Reliability Link is slithering its way through the Pine Barrens. The 30 inch pipeline, when completed, will transport natural gas at a pressure of 3000 psi. This is a view of the project on Rt. 539 between Rts. 537 & 528 in Plumsted Twp. Ocean County.

    Cotote Warning Sign

    Great sign. I could have used it in my yard in Cream Ridge when one passed through about 2 weeks ago. BEEP-BEEP!

    Mystery Rock Pile

    The pile of rocks looks to be a Cairn which by definition is a pile of rocks (I couldn't resist). In the Scottish highlands, people cleared (and still do) their land of rocks and placed them in neat piles which can then be used as corner markers, direction markers or any number of utilitarian...

    America’s Toughest, Ugliest Warplane Is Going Back Into Battle

    My guess is the prop is for preliminary tests to be retrofitted with a jet engine if their prototype is given a green light to go to the next level of development.

    America’s Toughest, Ugliest Warplane Is Going Back Into Battle

    I think the A-10 is the coolest warplane in our arsenal. My 97 year old mother lives in apartment A-10 at her retirement community. Most of the residents have some sort of identification on their electric scooters. Perhaps a small stuffed animal, a vanity license saying granny or something like...
