I have noticed that stale beer smell in the woods before. However, it usually turns out to be Gabe sneaking up behind me. :)

No such thing as excessive force Bob. Break the law and pay the price. Ask Monica Seles if they should have used a little excessive force on someone who ran onto her court and stabbed her. Assume nothing.

Just so no one ever mistakes me for being an intelligent person, I have to admit that I really know next to nothing about snakes. I do know that they must be given a wide berth and that the proper reaction is to scream and jump up and down like a little girl when I see one in the woods. :)...

Snake expert that I am, I would say a red phase garter snake. http://www.snakesandfrogs.com/scra/snakes/images/rgrtr1.jpg No need to apologize for the tote Chris. If I took the picture the tote would have been upside down and weighted down with a cinder block. Of course it would have made...

Sorry you couldn't make it Ben. The food was killer and the wine was flowing copiously. Frighteningly, Bob showed no restraint and was getting to the "I love you man ! " stage when I left at 10:30 p.m. :) We certainly owe a lot to you and this website. Without you and what you have...

We really had a great one here. The terrain was friendly, the heat made it a challenge. I would agree with Jeff that it was very interesting to see the contrasts bewtween the large scale agricultural uses of the pines and the untouched, wild resources of the pines located just a few yards...

Nothing can be simpler than the origins of "monorail" as spoken by Lyle Lanley (Phil Hartman) in one of the classic Simpsons episodes. "Mono means one, rail means rail." http://deadon.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/mono-rail.jpg Sorry I was of no help with Manahawkin. I will defer to the J...

Good times indeed everyone. It's nice to be able to confirm that the person on the other side of the monitor hasn't killed anyone. Lately. :) Scott

I saw the book last night at the Pic. There is a great picture of the flume structure and that chapter describes that Black maintained the sluice to carry the canal flow over Mount Misery Brook on its pathway to his bogs. He allowed a relative to divert some of the flow for his own use in...

I'll be prepared with vague answers. :) Should be there a little before 7.

I surely do know a little something about guns, hunting and beer. The redneck's Holy Trinity if you will. :) See you there. Scott

You have my endorsement sir. Party on. :)

They are a little heavier than 10,000 lbs. Dave. Most are around 13,000 lbs in basic running gear. I had a friend that owned two. One to run and one for parts. You don't need a CDL until you hit 26,000 lbs. I agree with you that they do less damage in the mudholes because they are geared to...

I need to adopt some new, little curtain climbers to replace my two walking, talking former deductions who are still living in my house, eating my food and drinking my beer ! They should count as deductions as long as they continue to drink your beer. Maybe there is a loophole in the IRS...

Wow ! Is that the bottom blown out ? Are you going to report your find ?

Redtails will definitely take puppies. The woman I bought my springer from in Pa. has a real problem with them. She has a tent/canopy that she uses with young litters and only lets them play outside under her supervision under the tent. A 15 lb. greyound probably looks pretty manageable for...

Being no fan of snakes as you know, I still would not think that someone messed with that log. I don't even know where it is. :) Seriously, I think the recent harsh winter, deep snows, rain on top of the snow and the repeated freeze-thaw cycles would be enough to nearly obliterate that aged...

Beautiful outing Guy and Jess. I really like that picture of the deer crossing the water. I have been doing a lot of surveying fieldwork lately, which has been nice but today, I was stuck inside the office.

The last time I saw 167 was in my teens. I lost 50 lbs in 2002 and got down to waif-like 177. It was too much to sustain. People that I hadn't seen in awhile thought I had a terminal disease and would smile congenially and then softly whisper behind my back and shake their heads. I felt...

The NATO phonetics should be Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. I think they are shooting for the subliminal term WTF.
