I used to swim regularly in the lagoons behind Ocean City when I was a young teen. My sister dated a guy who had a house on a lagoon and almost everyone had a swim ladder on their docks. It wasn't very nice then and I would never do it now.

Yes I have Bob ! I call them Sea Chiggers, even though I know they are larval flatworm bites. I usually wear my Lacrosse boots or wetsuit boots. The area that we clam is loaded with snails and they are a Schistosoma cercariae host. The first time I got them I was losing my mind because I...

I never thought my love of crabbing would ever be threatened by anything. Actually it still isn't. Contracting this horrible bacterial disease seems to be a very remote possibility. https://www.nj.com/cumberland/index.ssf/2018/07/man_battling_to_all_his_keep_limbs_from_flesh-eati.html

I was in there back in the 1970's. It was amazing.

I used to have a cousin living in Tennessee and when my uncle would go down to visit him he would bring me back some killer stuff. Quarter sticks were my favorite and I'll never forget my father buying a gross of cherry bombs from him. The box was marked "For agricultural use only." They were...

I didn't take any photos but two weeks ago I opened the overhead radio cabinet on my boat to get a chart out of it and found a disaster. I had a can of CRC Insect Repellant that a friend of mine gave me from PSE&G work truck a few years ago. It contained 25% DEET. The can started leaking...

Yiiiikes !! With all the snakes, venomous caterpillars, ticks, chiggers, velvet ants, etc lurking in these woods; I think I am just going to stay in the house. What's next, Spider Monkeys ? :eek:

The documented occurrence or the suitable habitat is the key to the bog turtle list. With swamp pink it is the occurrence only that was used to generate the list. The "suitable habitat" phrase appears in several NJDEP rules. It becomes a deal killer for developers in many cases. I had a guy in...

I do all of the NJDEP Freshwater Wetlands permitting for our development projects here at work. When preparing each of those applications, I have to review the list of municipalities (list provided by NJDEP) that include known occurrences of bog turtle or suitable habitat within a watershed...

Maybe it croaked. :cool: Sorry, I couldn't resist.

At least Murphy took a few minutes off from signing new gun bills. http://nj.gov/governor/news/news/562018/approved/20180618c_reptile.shtml?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

I used this stuff in Maine when I was a kid. It made you smell like a heavily creosoted telephone pole. I think it actually worked too. https://oletimewoodsman.com/

It's a pretty good woman repellant too. Just ask my wife !

Oh Ye of little faith ! They could very well be citronella candles or butt buckets. Or for me, a spittoon would be a nice amenity. :)

Starting this week, they can add fly-bitten to the weary and burdened. :) The tent would provide good respite and would give one time to ponder God's true purpose with respect to the creation of deer flies. :)

I'm a changed man Al ! Just don't ask me to touch one. :)

When I got home from work on Tuesday night my neighbor told me that he had a huge snake in his front yard just before I got home. He snapped a picture before the snake went on his or her way. I'm certainly no expert but it looks like a pine snake to me. I've been living here 34 years and that is...

I have received 14 tick bites just over the last two weeks. Three of the ticks were embedded and had to be ripped out. I am good for twenty or more every year. Miraculously, I have never had a tick-borne disease. I'd offer a pint of my blood if anybody wants to try a transfusion but you may not...

Thanks to Youtube and various how-to videos, I learned that if you plug your earphones into the earphone jack on the iPhone the volume control switch on the earphone wire acts as a shutter release ! I have tried it and it does work. I showed that trick to woman who had a Phone Skope last fall at...
