    May be a VOR station. (VHF omnidirectional range), a navigation tool for aircraft.

    Walk on the Beach

    What a fantastic set of photos, thank you for sharing them, they made me smile since I miss NJ a lot, and I miss the pines most of all, I think. What a fortunate person you are to have all of that right in your own back yard.

    Bird I.D.

    Good sighting! I don't think they're extraordinarily rare, but I don't think I've seen more than one or two.

    Maneating 'Yotes.....

    Actually, the bulk of coyotes' diet is rodents.

    snapping turtle

    I met this guy on my way to the dock in my back yard. Very handsome. He was cordial but businesslike.

    Amatol reports and mapping

    I just asked Joe, he doesn't know any more than that. We guessed that it was set up to house some sort of conveyor to move things from building to building. The buildings would have had to have been a certain distance apart to keep a chain reaction from happening should someone try to light a...

    Amatol reports and mapping

    We guessed that this was some sort of transport system for delicate explosives. I think my husband actually knows a lot more about this than me, but I think we figured they had some sort of trolley system. Jiggling nitroglycerine too much might cause you to have a bad day.

    Fantastic! I recognize that folding chair. :)

    Fleas, Ticks, Skeeters and Dogs

    I am sorry to hear they won't help you out because of your purchase from a vet med internet retailer. That's a hot button with vets and with companies that make this stuff because neither has any control over how it's handled. They may have been kept in poor storage conditions, remote a...

    Fleas, Ticks, Skeeters and Dogs

    Sorry about your pup's heartworm. Were you able to treat the dog with immiticide? It's hard to come by these days. Did you or your veterinarian report it to Novartis? They should pay for your dog's heartworm treatment if it's found to be a failure and they will certainly want to know about it...

    How Much Does A Rattlesnake Bite Cost?

    I bet the exhorbitant cost is largely due to the antivenin, it apparently costs thousands per dose. That guy was a dipshit.

    Help me ID this device from a barn in PA

    I agree, I think could for hanging carcasses. Pigs or lambs maybe? Definitely not to lift saddles from horses, they're not that heavy.

    Popcorn Park Zoo

    Great photos! I love that zoo. If nothing else, it's a good demonstration of why white tailed deer do not make good pets! They can be really tame, but they never stop licking you, ever. Ever. (do they still have them walking around the main area?) I used to go there every year to shear their...

    El Nino

    thanks for that link, 46er. That does make me feel better. The Shabakunk creek is what I have been worried about and it looks like it went up about 12". That's not too bad. Even if the pump quit, I don't think we'd get any water. Phew.

    Tick&Fleas

    Oh, and allow me to add that the mosquitoes out here are flying pit bulls. I have never in my life. :jeffd: Fortunately, the bats will move in a few weeks from now, we are told.

    Tick&Fleas

    Amazing. Our 1200 sf 2 br, 1 bath cape with 0.2 acres in a semi not-so-great neighborhood in NJ had a $6000 tax bill. Our present, fairly magnificent 3000 SF house with 5+ acres in solitude has a $2300 tax bill. :dance: But the car insurance here is higher. Not sure why. Weird, eh?

    Tick&Fleas

    This is what bothers me about this market. People assume that because it's in the grocery store, it's safer than what you can get at the vet's. Let me assure you, NOTHING is further from the truth. Modern chemistry is far more insect specific than the old pyrethroids they sell in the pet food...
