    Isolation 2020

    Yes, there will be many things to learn from this virus. I found this article a bit disturbing. Could we actually be damaging people by using ventilators? I sleep with a CPAP machine, which automatically pumps air in when I breathe during sleep so the airway doesn't collapse. If I went into...

    CLOSED

    The state kicked in money to buy the FPP, so that will maybe be closed too.

    Speaking of grill, I don't have natural gas so have to use propane and I ran out yesterday. Decided to take the least risk by going to the gas station in whiting, and paid $22. Walmart was $14 last year. Nothing like selling in big volume.

    Okay Joe, thanks. I thought you were having a bad day. I only asked because I'm sure the people in those cars were wandering around Batsto Village, causing the staff to be a little freaked out by it.

    Identity verification nonsense

    I have. They asked me the name of the auto loan company. I haven't had that loan for 8 years. I had to dig. This was Experian.

    Was Batsto actually being staffed at the time of that video?

    Oh, so that's why what's left in the bin is so scraggly-looking! :D

    How does Walmart pickup work at the store? In Lanoka Harbor I see cars pulling around towards the rear, and someone comes out to the car and it looks like the people go over the order with the worker that comes out. I'd think it would work better if you just have it put in the trunk and deal...

    About 3 weeks ago I saw them touting BJ's pickup services and also home delivery. Went on the website, and Toms River did not do pickup, nor did they even mention it. Neither did Manahawkin. But, they still said delivery is available but it's managed by Instacart, and Bj's had taken a hands off...

    Isolation 2020

    It seems to me that three big groups of people are causing the most problems: 1) Family. I see family members who don't live together visiting each other as if that's okay. 2) Groups outdoors. Motorcycle riding clubs, ATV kids from 18 to 29. 3) People whose life revolves around hanging out at Wawa.

    Was your dad also a fighter pilot, and did he do work on the F-16? John Boyd?

    Your parents are impressive Boyd. That kind of equipment was very advanced stuff for that time period. I remember when I was Division Head of the inspection department, I purchased a coordinate axis (XYZ) measuring machine for the crew. Cost about $115K at that time (1989). The guys loved it.

    Information on Tuckertons own Garvey boats

    Maybe screws hold it too tight. The wood has to swell when wet, like a barrel.

    Welcome to lidar.boydsmaps.com!

    I learned blueprint reading and orthographic projection at Lakehurst before they even had us touch the cats and arresting gear. We had to draw our own from an actual item off the equipment. It was a revelation to me at the time. Later when I became a mechanical inspector it was crucial. More...

    Information on Tuckertons own Garvey boats

    Nice garvey video. I'd like to ask him why he used a hand saw on the planking for fitting when he had a circular saw next to him. I'm sure there's a good answer, just like to hear it. He'd probably say; that's what I started with, and I'm comfortable with it, and I like the feel and sound of it.

    Taunton Mansion

    I did a week at Camp Lenape as a scout in 1967(?). Our scoutmaster was a builder, and he had us rebuild the dock the season before I camped. We had to swim a mile in the lake.
