    Garmin GPSMap 62s on sale at REI for $200

    I think this is the lowest price I've seen. The 62s is the successor to the popular 60csx with a pushbutton interface and antenna that some people feel is superior to other models. But the gps chips inside are the same as the Oregon and Montana series. Sale ends November 24...

    Sawyers Permethrin

    OK, I've had it with the lousy quality control on their products. The spray cans are a disaster, they drip all over the place. Not just an isolated problem, it's been the same on 10 or 12 cans purchased at different places over a couple years. 46er said he had good luck with the trigger spray...

    Walking Sticks

    There have been a bunch of these on the exterior walls of my house during the past few days. They're such strange looking creatures and so well camoflauged. If they were crawling around the woods instead of my house, I would never even notice them. But what is this other similar...

    Lots of rain here today

    Around 7:00 AM this morning it started raining and I noticed it was just a little cell centered near Mays Landing - the kind of thing that usually moves away pretty quickly. But it just keeps hanging around. It will let up for awhile, but it keeps coming back. Getting really wet here now, the...

    Bug

    Not sure if I've seen one of these before. FWIW - this is a 100% crop from the middle of a snapshot with my iPhone 4. I was surprised at the quality.

    #^$%@%!* chiggers!

    My daughter's family was visiting last weekend and I was very concerned that my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter would get chigger bites. She lives in NYC and just goes wild when she comes here, running all around in the woods. So we were pretty careful to keep her in the mowed grass, and when we...

    States that drink the most beer

    Sorry Scott, you're gonna have to try harder. New Jersey is almost at the bottom of the list; Connecticut and Utah are the only states that drink less beer per capita. :D http://www.beerinstitute.org/assets/uploads/2012_Beer_Consumption_By_State.pdf

    Tax reassessment

    I recently got a letter from the town saying they will be reassessing all properties as the result of a mandate from Atlantic County and the NJ Division of Taxation. Fair enough, I don't have a problem with that. However the town says they are not using the "normal" method of contracting an...
