I have had Guinea fowl on my properties on & off most of my life. Tick mongers, yes. Among the most annoying & obnoxious birds on the planet, yes as well. Once they take your property as their own, they dominate it, then invite friends & relatives over.I have had to take grave measures to...

A very nice offering. Thank you Jerseyman. Looking through a different lens & eyes but enjoying the same offerings the Pines give us today. Truly a gentlemen's stroll, perhaps an ancestral version of the PBX. g.

He, And a couple others gone, were a reason I remained a lurker for some time. As fascinated as I was by the things of interest, I believe I saw the site as something else at the time. I am really glad I took the plunge, and glad he is not on this site now. g.

My Uncle worked most of his life as a machinist in Philly and being a die hard Sears man, whatever was not bought/ordered at Sears would likely have been purchased in Pennsy. So, you are probably right on this set. g.

Strange way to revive an old thread but I wanted to share this without starting a new one. I waited till the deal was done so as not to Jinx myself. Left it outside all winter, dirt snow, rain, bird poop, etc. Put it on Ebay, very honest about it's state inclusive of rust, dents, and birdpoop...

Badfish, Weighed mine. Seperately and together & divided the qty. to check myself. They are 4 pounds per with a 4" center and 8-3/4 overall. They are hard old iron. Quite a few chinks on the edges, go figure. I repainted them the Blue & Red colors a few years back. My dad recalls Uncle...

Very cool! Good to know it's alive. I still get some raised eyebrows when I mention it here & there. Me thinks you're getting off easy with 2-1/2 pounds there fella. I am going to weigh mine, I believe they are a little heavier. On that last, I have the highest respect for Jerseyman's...

I have a treasured a "old" steel set that were a dear Uncle's long since past. He was from Hammonton so within your geography. He brought them to every gathering and they were well recieved. Heavier than horshoes and trickier indeed. He was surely old hat at it. A ringer of course was the goal...

I am pleased to say that today on my family canoe outing there was not a ton of litter. We did of course spy the elusive Mylar Balloon of course hung up in some weeds. I honestly think those things procreate somehow out in the Pines! We as always had the kids fill a plastic bag along our...

Took the whole crew out this afternoon on Batsto lake & upriver a bit. That's me, wife, and all three kids. Can't beat an old Grumman. Five souls and still drafts very little water. It was a full boat though. I was happy to see so many families out together and in so many craft of different...

Perhaps the slightest possibility of some more stone bases to add to the Sawmill thread ? G.

The whole article is Hokey. I too have some experience with swine in my growing years. Some really fun stories from the farm in Elm for another day. I will say, based on my own experience, A Boar, Uncut... (hope I don't have to explain that) I wouldn't have a ton of interest in the meat from...

Watched Corzine's thoughts and inclinations on this last night. This might not be a popular statement among supporters but I am inclined to agree with his considerations of a shutdown of the facility. What happened is somewhat of a necessity to balance an unique Ecosystem like the Pine Barrens...

This is just a guess but I think/Hope Wis Bang's reference was on a positive note supportive of the the ancient canoe's construction as opposed to the many "plastic fantastic" models out today. So Wis.... How 'bout that 1958 Old Town Wood & Canvas Octa?? Any lookin' I've done puts that...

Was focused on the Canoe issue itself, missed this. Queen City.... Another, Older name/Nickname for Beach Haven, still used by locals.

It's wishful thinking but if enough of the canoe was left to be up to it, What avid paddler wouldn't just love to take it out for a turn. Imagine, 1500 + years old & coasting down the Mullica. Wow. g.

Excellent work, as usual you've captured something that should leave a lasting impression on the viewer. It is a sadness that this does not express the shear beauty of your normal work but the stark contrast and reality of what has occured here. G.

Now that really stinks. Those remains are very fragile and I can not imagine a way to remove graffiti that would not be harmful. Scrubbing it off by hand with a powerful cleaner maybe an eco friendly type would do but no easy trick to do high or low tide. Pressure wash way out of the question...

Get your group drunk enough and just convince them the next morning how exhilarating and informative the tour was. When they can not remember, act very hurt that your efforts went for naught. Shame them. G.
