Fun time at Helicopter Flight Services.

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 04:18:58 +0000

We went over to Flying W airport to visit Helicopter Flight Services, a great place to go if you want to learn to fly or take a tour. They have a great flight sim that my son loved. The airport is real nice with an airplane shaped pool and restauran. It’s a great place to chill and flying helicopters is always fun. Doug, the owner has almost 20 years restaurant and the whole staff is awesome! Below is a picture of my son and I in front of the latest Schweitzer Helicopter. You can check out the website Here

Very hot in South Jersey this summer!

admin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 04:29:07 +0000

Like most of the country it has been a super hot summer. All I can say is “WOW”, nice to have a pool but some days it’s just to hot to even stay out swimming all day. I see lawns all over South Jersey that need water so please rain! I am glad we have AC but our bill sure is huge. The price you pay to stay cool.

Summer 2010!

admin — Sat, 29 May 2010 23:21:35 +0000

Hello all, its been a while since I posted. I was hibernating for the winter! LOL So now that it is warm enough I opened up my pool and we had our 1st swim the other day and looks like everyday is a great swimming day for the memorial day weekend. The pool was green when we opened it and clear in about 2 days! So I decided to start writing a E-Book on pool chemicals and how to get your pool looking great! I have 10 years of experiance (many years very frusterating) so I learned the hard way and want to help and make it easier for all you swimming pool owners.
Chemicals can be Baquacil or Softwim (Chlorine alternatives, more expensive and tougher but no chlorine), and Chlorine, all types tablets powder. Mesh safety cover is the reason its grean.
How to get cloudy water clear, get rid of algea, what to do when the water turns green, vinyl liner floats (yes floats from the water pressure), heating and pump issues/problems/questions. You name it I have suffered and learned from it.
Check out my before and after pics!

So I hope to have it done in 2 weeks, we shall see but I will keep everyone posted!

Squirrel stopped in a tree in my backyard.

I took my dog Maverik outside to the backyard today and saw this Squirrel stopped about 30 feet up a tree right near our fence. Not sure what is in his mouth, I guess a nut. But I was happy to get the picture since he ran off right after I took it.

This guy can throw some smoke man! His dad went to high school for a few years in South Jersey and they now live in Arizona, when I saw this video, I was amazed, his stats are nice and he is a focused young man. I hope to see him in the Big Leagues someday!

Fall Picture Gallery

Before you know it, Autumn will be passing into Winter. So we’d like to share some photos of the season from around South Jersey. If you have any you’d like to share send them to brian@aboutsouthjersey.com and we’ll add them to the gallery which will eventually find a permanent home around here somewhere. Then we can start one for Winter…

Fall Leaves nice but we must also rake!

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:56:29 +0000

I know fall is a great time to see the leaves changing colors and there are so many nice places to go here in South Jersey to see them. But they do bring one thing I am not a big fan of, raking them! We are lucky here in New Jersey, you can just dump them on the street and they come around with trucks and just haul them away and launch them into outerspace! But I have spoken to people from other states and they don’t do that, they have to actually bag them. If I had to bag my leaves, I would fill at least 20+ large trashbags each weekend. So I use the old tarp method, take my gas blower (yard tools must be gas! More power!) and blow them all into a pile, then rake them onto the tarp and drag it out to the curb. Its actually nice to do some yardwork but man, our area has a lot of leaves! I can rake them one day, and the next day you can’t even tell. But once its done and the trucks come to pick them up, my son and I watch as the bulldozers push them and load them onto waiting dumptrucks. We live in Cherry Hill and thats how they do them, in Haddonfield they have a giant vacuum to pick them up but my son and I enjoy watching the big trucks! I will post some pictures when they come by, probably in a few more weeks.

ALERT Child abduction attempt!

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:39:50 +0000

These kinds of stories really scare me and get me very angry too! But I wanted to post this to make people aware of this. It is from an elementary school’s website and the more people are aware of it, the better chance there is of catching these scumbags! So please let your kids know and be extra cautious!

Van Sought In Attempted Child Abduction
Parents On Alert
MOORESTOWN, N.J. – Moorestown police are investigating the
attempted abduction of a 12-year-old girl. It happened at
approximately 3:50 p.m. Monday when the girl got off a school bus at
S. Shirley and Beacon Avenues. This is the 3rd report of an attempted
abduction involving a dirty white van within the last five-days. Police
are asking parents to warn their children to be extra careful if they are
approached by a stranger.
In Monday’s incident a girl says she was walking south towards
Westbrook Drive when a white panel-type work van with no
windows pulled alongside her.
The vehicle was occupied by two males. The driver was
described as hispanic and bald. The passenger had a
moustache with an athletic build, say police.
The passenger asked the girl to get in the car to help look for his son.
She refused, at which point the passenger ordered her to get in the
van as he reached and tried to grab her.
The van is described as dirty, “beat up” with a crack in the
windshield, missing the driver’s side mirror and possible ladder
racks with unknown New Jersey registration.
The 12-year-old ran home and police were notified by her mother.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Moorestown Police
Criminal Investigations Division at 856-914-3046.
Last week, a white work van with a similar description pulled alongside
a 14-year-old boy in Perkasie.
The driver tried to get the boy in his van, but that boy too was able to
get away.
Police also say there was a similar report in Sellersville last
Wednesday.
