Very cool work you were involved in Joe! I was in my early 20's when I had to work at Charleston when NATF was short on funds. I was helping crews overhaul valves, pumps, and turbines from submarines. That was SUBSAFE work, with very exacting work standards to ensure no subs were lost through...

Vaguely familiar, but I can't be sure. I left the test site where they have test cats and arresting gear in the late 1970's. I moved to the shop area and worked a very short time in the machine shop, then became a mechanical inspector. After 6 years I became a supervisor in various capacities...

Why not just say his name? Did he work at Lakehurst? That's where I worked.

Very cool Joe. I've been to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (Virginia), Charleston Naval Shipyard, and Pugent Sound (Bremerton) Washington. Was it at any of those yards? I also was the mechanical inspector for the Navy on the new catapult installations at Newport News Virginia for CVN-70 and CVN 71. I...

Maybe I'm just cranky. The forecast was for 40% chance of heavy rain.

This is the second time this week that the weather forecast from the previous evening was starkly wrong.

The difference is striking. On Tuesday, I was on this little tributary of the Breeches Branch shown in your snip. In the older Lidar, it's barely visible. And in fact, it's not even shown on the topo.

I used to work on and inspect the installations of aircraft arresting machinery and steam catapults. For land based arresting systems, if I recall correctly, in order to secure the arresting machinery on the side of the airfield, they used explosive actuated anchors. The anchor tube would be set...

Incredible detail. Excellent. I like the elevation number placement too. :)

She speaks as if she witnessed a crime. Usually, that is the only way one can be 100% sure.

But you said the state park guy told you it has no engine. So, don't they already know about it? It's their job to follow up if they already know about it.

I would think maybe pheasant or quail hunting.

? That is always been the case with me. I am 609, and for any other area code, I have to add a 1.

Guy, nice shots. I think that tall one is a yellow hybrid with a white one. The name of that would be Platanthera x canbyi.

I hear ya. When I pull that dam down I'm cautious.

Where does he get his talent Al?

I like the way you do the paraphrasing. It lends a touch of you to the articles. Save them, maybe you can write your own compilation book from them some day.

Who else hates this kind of weather other than me? Hit "share" if you agree. :p

Guy has a lot of sources for info. I bet he can sniff it out if it's true.

I am underwhelmed. Nixon's now has a room in the back where they make the sandwiches, but instead of an open counter where you can interact with them as they prepare it, they have a little 2 foot square door in the wall (about 5 or 6 feet above the floor) that is always closed unless they want...
