TMI Al, TMI. :eek:

I hope it stays up north and runs it course quickly. We got whacked down here in Pestletown really bad 4 years ago and the deer are just now starting to bounce back. I wasn't cutting a track in a 3 mile loop in the same areas where I would normally jump 8-10 deer and found several dead deer in...

The ban has been lifted for almost the entire state. http://www.nj.gov/dep/bmw/ I'll be raking by the weekend.

I have had a diesel pickup truck for almost 10 years and I have never had an attendant pump my fuel once. They don't even look at you when you pull up to the diesel pumps. In most older places, diesel is usually detached from the regular service islands.

I have seen a butt pirate near McCormick Avenue a few times. :D

Where's my Guvmn't cheese at damn it ?!?

For anyone intersested in learning more about the wealth of New Jersey's outdoor activity opportunities, including the hunting and shooting sports, fishing, trapping, birding, orienteering, kayaking and rock climbing, there will be an Outdoor Expo at Colliers Mill WMA on September 17 and 18. It...

Made 40 clams casino for a party yesterday and have 30 left for clams and spaghetti. After that, I am will be anxiously waiting for the ban to be lifted !

Sort of pines related, if you clam the marine waters bordering the pines. The State officially banned shellfish harvesting statewide on Saturday night, before the hurricane passed through. Strangely, I didn't receive an email notice from NJDEP to my work email address or at home until...

Mason Ball has a great book on canning that I believe is sold just about anywhere you can buy the jars. It includes all the do's and don'ts and has tons of recipes. I buy cases of jars at Walmart and they carry all the necessities such as lids, pots, jar racks, a magnetic lid wand and a jar...

I only pickle long hots, which are not really ideal for a hot canning due to their thin skin. They are somewhat soft when done but the flavor is really good. I drop two cloves of fresh garlic in the jar with the peppers. It is a lot of work but it's fun work and reminds me of my grandmother's...

Tom, You can freeze all of the peppers that you have left before the first frost in zip locs. They are good for cooking over the winter but will not be crisp if you like them fresh. You can saute them and they taste like they did in the summer. I usually freeze all of my cherry hots and...

Good to hear from you Chris ! We had to pull the boat yesterday and bail out of CM last night late. Cut our vacation week two days short. Looks like I may have to some investigative research on Smoky's Apple Pie Moonshine tomorrow before they board up the liquor stores.

I couldn't live without a garden. I live in an area of typical pine barrens soil which is highly acidic, highly permeable and nutrient deficient. When I constructed my garden 28 years ago, I boxed out a 20' x 30' area 24" deep with a backhoe and replaced the soil with a rich farm topsoil from...

It's very good to hear from you George. You had me a little worried bud. I was on the Boulevard a few weeks ago fishing with my son Mike out of his boat. I hadn't fished Great Bay in many years and it was a refreshing change from our usual and far more expensive ocean jaunts. Nothing has changed...

For all the hunters on the site: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/artmigratory11.htm Looks like another banner season ahead. We had a great 2010-2011 season with my son's lab Hank. We'll be dropping resident geeses in just 4 weeks ! I shared some grilled goose breast with a few non-hunting...

Went to Cabanas last Sunday in Cape May and had the Cape May IPA. Excellent ale ranking up there with some of the best I have had. Looking forward to the brewery tour and buying some growlers !

Great pics Guy and Pan. I wish I was alive back then ! You guys must be old. :)

I am on it. I am in Cape May every weekend. Report to follow !
