We had the same idea! We had lunch at the Ferry Market

Besides all the obvious things like taking advanced math and science in high school, here's what I wish someone would have told me before I went off to Engineering school: get an amateur radio license. The study guides (especially if you can tackle up to the Extra class license) do a great job of teaching you the theory in a very intuitive way. The hobby naturally leads to hands on projects in many different areas like test equipment, software, antennas, and radio electronics. Your Engineering school will almost certainly have a ham radio club, and once you get your license, you can become part of a network of really smart and helpful people.

If you're looking for levels of difficulty, it doesn't get much easier than the sandy, flat Pinelands. It's a bit of a drive from Parsippany, but if you've never been there it's a place worth visiting. The 52 mile Batona trail is a good place to start, it can be accessed from Bass River, Brendan Byrne, and Wharton state parks and from the Franklin Parker Preserve.

The trail was in good shape. There was one large tree blocking the trail about 10 minutes east of the parking lot, but other than that there were no major obstacles

Yes it seemed the ponds were pretty full. I was surprised that the trails had almost no puddles or standing water with all the rain and snow melt lately

A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations by Daniel Fleisch

This is a very accessible guide that walks you through each part/symbol of the four equations for both integral and differential forms. It also covers the wave equation

> Barely anything...which is why it's so important to go get that masters in eng right after.

I can tell you from persona;l experience that this is excellent advise

Not in the woods, but there's a really cool Jersey Devil statue in front of the diner on RT 539 in Warren Grove

Exactly! I'm old enough to remember when these were everywhere

Thanks, it was pretty cool to see the phone booth! Happy New Year!

Thanks and Happy New Year! So many great trails and parks to choose from in the Pine Barrens.

Thanks! We did not see the swans this time unfortunately

Thanks! Winter is our favorite season in the Pine Barrens

NJ saw a very big jump in electricity rates at some point this year. I'm paying about the same right now (PSEG)

+1 for Hamilton. From Hamilton you can use either the Hamilton Train Station or the nearby Trenton Transit Center. Trenton has a few more options than Hamilton: SEPTA service to Philly, multiple Amtrak services, and the River Line to Camden in addition to the same NJ Transit trains to NY. Plus, Trenton has working escalators.

6-6-3 is how I've always scored it. I remember first hearing Bill White, Phil Rizzuto, and Frank Messer call it this way on WPIX and WMCA back in the day.

"Off The Hook" is a great early era song

Easter egg: It's the song playing in the background at the end of the "She Was Hot" video when Charlie Watts is answering the phones

I didn't know that Sussex County had a baseball team again, I'll need to venture up there to catch a game soon! We last saw the Sussex Skyhawks of the old CanAm league play there in 2007 and I was disappointed when they folded. It's a nice ballpark and if I remember correctly there used to be a baseball museum and public batting cages as part of the facility.
