    Historic Highways of America

    There's a road that heads from Dover Forge over to Giberson's Mill's in Whiting. It is deeply set in places, and I found a mule shoe next to it after a fire.

    Music for the day

    I actually bought this album for the cover art, but I really love the instrumental that goes along with the art.

    Music for the day

    Nice Tommy. I saw them in Asbury Park in 1976. Toy Caldwell was an outstanding composer and lead guitarist. The band suffered greatly after he was gone. I actually saw them about 10(?) years ago in Seaside. They were awful.

    Historic Highways of America

    Don't forget the road to old Kaintuck Al! Though volume VI may speak of it.

    Buy the place for a home, and people will be peeking in your windows to have a look at history. That's not for me. But if you buy it and sling eggs and taters onto plates with slices of ham, you'll make out. But you'll still have to deal with the din in the dining area, even while trying to nap.

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    What a difference a year makes. I thought last May that the best solution would be to leave the trees, and install the first security camera. I had said that to stay roughly on the fence about it, like I did with the pipeline down in South Jersey--I could never muster up the anger enough to...

    Stone Searching... Fall, Winter, Spring 2018/2019

    I find at least one tent a year. Always feel odd walking up to them and peering inside. It always sticks in my head that the person who set it up has passed away, and nobody knew of it but him. PS: nice looking GPS.

    Wharton SF adds acreage

    It could be. Guy told me of this a month or so ago, and so Guy being Guy, he's been there poking around already.

    I'd rip that thing to shreds in just about a month the way I drive in the pines. I've been known to break the welds on my headache rack.

    Nothing here but slush and a thin white coating in spots.

    Snow

    I think they're just throwing darts at the state map. I was 1-2 inches this morning, now 2-4.

    I don't anticipate ever going back to 4 cyl cars. I need that V6. But I had a 91 four cylinder camry with over 200K on it. It served me well. Now, they put turbos on 4 cylinders. I don't like that idea. Seems like a tax on the engine and more things to go wrong. This sentence is confusing...

    Your mention of that 87 brings to mind my old '75 Jeep CJ-5. Only time I ever bought a vehicle off the showroom floor (or any new car since then). It had an 8 cyl 304 engine with a 3 speed manual. I had an Edelbrock intake added and put a Holly 4 barrel on top and topped it off with headers...

    Chris, one thing about the V-6, is that it could grunt its way through some really bad stuff. There is a road here below (I think I marked the right one) that is killer on vehicles when it's wet. I made it through easily, but would be hesitant in the 4 cylinder I have now (which is geared too high).

    Need feedback on which 10 yr old SUV to buy for roadtrip

    The last time I got an oil change, this local guy dug out the cabin air filter and brought it in to show me. I think that goes far beyond safety concerns. He does it in front of everyone in the showroom to make you feel like a cad if you don't say yes, replace it. His price for the oil change...

    Need feedback on which 10 yr old SUV to buy for roadtrip

    I always buy used cars from major dealers if I can't find a reliable private party. The major dealers have their reputation at stake.

    Need feedback on which 10 yr old SUV to buy for roadtrip

    Zach, I could tell you knew cars well a couple(?) years ago when you first joined this forum. Here is a question I have for you. Say you want a simple job done like an oil change or tires rotated etc, but you don't want to do it yourself (or even an hard job you don't want to do yourself). The...
