    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    When I got a $436 bill for gas heating this past January, I joked with people that I would use plastic to make a cocoon for me in my bed and master bath and stay there in the winter. Those canned recessed lights throughout the house when built were sucking all the heat out. I bought all LED...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I got my electric bill today for the period from 12 June to 11 July. $138.45 I did not turn on the air until right before that stinking hot week in late June. And I have it set at 78 degrees and I use fans to blow it around. Still, I bet the next one will be double.

    Music for the day

    I had a cassette player in my 75 jeep CJ5. I had this tape (I Robot, by the Alan Parsons Project) for a long, long time. This song was a good one. Great start to it. "I wouldn't want to be like you" If I had a mind to I wouldn't want to think like you And if I had time to I wouldn't want to...

    That went very well! Gabe's playing was spot on. I remember at least two of those songs.

    What we need is an image of James “Scott” Dunn. Is that him in the photo.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I was shocked at how humid it was in Cape May yesterday. I was in a swamp for an hour and when I came out my clothes were soaked through. It's actually worrisome, is this is how every summer is going to be for awhile? I wondered what the dew point was so found this site below. The dewpoint was...

    Maybe that Texas incident spooked the weather forecasters.

    Visiting the ruins of the Batsto trestle

    By the way, I'd go for a footbridge that people can visit, with one of those old time wrought iron(?) signs giving a very brief history of what was there. Of course, the dirt bikers could not resist........

    Visiting the ruins of the Batsto trestle

    It is a bygone era now, and our memories will recall it fondly. But now, it's important for the authorities to remove all trace of it and the tracks all the way to the ecotone were the cedar swamps border the river. Far better that than to leave the hulking remant there to mar the landscape for...

    Music for the day

    That white boy George had real soul. I once missed an important concert. He played at the Sunset View Inn in Browns Mills, and I was not quick enough to realize it, so did not make it in. I really liked him, and still have his solo album "Thanks, I'll eat it here". Unfortunately, he died very...

    Garmin discontinues the Oregon series and some others

    When (if) I buy that brick, I recall the site saying it comes with Birdseye. I posed the question one time as to whether its an updated set of aerials.

    Music for the day

    I was a big Marshall Tucker Band fan back in the day. I saw them in Asbury Park when Toy Caldwell was still alive. When I saw this album online about 10 years ago, I had to have it for the cover alone. Yee ha! Here is the instrumental song with the same name as the album.

    Guy, remember, I had that refurbished with a new screen, so maybe they still offer that. It was $80. They also repaired the button we press so often.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Guy, maybe have Jess try my cooling method. I have a small cooler, maybe a gallon. In the bottom I throw in two terry cloth wrist bands and two neck bands (one for the forehead). I then cover them in a little water and fill the cooler with ice. When I leave the truck, I take them out and put...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I went out for four hours today to look at some plants I'm keeping tabs on. Every time I got out of the truck I was apprehensive. After about 100 yards walking, I'd start to monitor myself and how I felt. It was grueling. I was careful to return while I still had things right in my mind. Still...
