Any one of you are more then welcome.
Let me know if you are in the central NJ area.

I grew up in South Jersey, and still occasionally pass through the area on my way to/from DC on a shoot. Normally, I only stop to load up on Tastycakes, but I could make an exception!

Where in Central Jersey?
I'm a Carteret guy.
Got out 20 years ago and never goin' back...

Hillsborough, NJ.....

I grew up in Hillsborough (1976-1993). Gotta love Route 206. When I lived there, it was mostly farms and open land. Now, it is just bursting with new home development.

I haven't strayed too far from home. I live in Berkeley Heights, about 25 minutes northeast - right off Route 78.

Ahhh...Berkely Heights....know it well. I was in Millington for a long time before we decided to buy a private home and move to Hillsborough...its far, but its great. I commute to the City...so you can imagine my pain.

I would have stayed in and or around Long Hill Township...but I couldnt afford a home out there for my life.
I was in a large townhouse on Valley Road and moved...

Commute to NYC? Ouch. I feel it, alright. Do they have a train station out there yet?

House here in BH, New Prov, and Summit are rediculous. A regular 4 bedroom colonial on my block just went for $750,000. In Summit, the same house would have went for $1.2 million. The only way I can afford it is that I have been lucky enough to own an apartment in Hoboken, where real estate has exploded. I got a colonial in BH just before prices went over $550,000

No Train Station in HB...but from Raritan or Princeton there are trains. I chose to drive due to my schedule and thus its about 2 hours each way....most of the time. Sometimes more...for the same 55 mile trip.

Oh Well!!!! Gotta find work in Jersey.

I just picked up the Panasonic ES10 on eBay for a steal of a price. I'm gonna use it to burn my VHS to DVD (the ones that I don't want to invest in buying again - and which the quality of the video/sound is less of a concern - like 80's comedies and some older dramas). It will be replacing my older non-progressive Panasonic RV80 (which is a workhorse with a gorgeous picture). Hopefully the ES10's progressive image will look better than the older RV80's does now, and that they didn't skimp on playback components to keep costs down.... we'll see.

At $125, it's at least worth the investment for the burning process - after which I could resell it if I wanted to, or send it to the bed room as a replacement.

Anyway, I'll let you all know.
