Monmouth Barracks

Will all that be demolished to make way for the Netflix complex?  Or will it be re-purposed?

Looks like a pleasant day for a flight round the barracks

Yes. As far as I know they are replacing everything.

Almost a billion dollars' worth of investment and an 8 year timescale. That's some project.

A shame - those buildings look quite serviceable.

Soon to be rubble?

Great capture Charles.  Beautiful clears skies - what a day to go fly.

We will have plenty of new movies to watch in 10 years time.

I don't know why the army abandoned the areain the first places. Seems like another waste of money.

IT was a beautiful day.

And that's just one Channel - not to mention Amazon, Disney+  etc.

Your tax dollars at work

It certainly was.  I'm looking forward to a few of those days.  Weather guessers are predicting 85% or high chance of rain through Saturday.

That's true. Hoping to do the follow up videos there.

Our tax dollars at rest.

Sorry to hear that hopefully the weather will improve.

You'll be working longer than you maybe intended, if so

At least. something productive may come out of it all.

That;s alright. A worthy goal.

I've got my fingers crossed.  With all this rain it is almost like the regular April showers.

It has been rainy where you are.

Indeed it has.  What happened to Florida and it's nickname of the "sunshine state"?  I guess we will become the "rain soaked state" in the future.

Ith as lasted a while.

I guess it could be worse.  We could be having a hurricane blow through vice all the rain.

Isn't Louisiana getting some of that now?

Louisiana, Alabama and the western Florida panhandle is getting hit pretty hard with wind and rain from Hurricane Francine.

Yes I'm hearing that too.

BetterBizTech Posted at 9-12 04:42

At least in southern Florida it looks like we dodged another one.  I best not say that too loudly or I might jinx the situation.

Be thankful. One more month of hurricane season.

I'm very thankful.  Before this year's hurricane season they were predicting an above average number of hurricanes so I'm always happy when that prediction is wrong.

There you go. Nowhere to go but forward.

Nowhere to go but forward as the weather is definitely out of our control.  I'm keeping an eye on the long term weather as I think I'm going to take my live aboard boat and cruise down to Aruba in the October timeframe.

I wiyld think so. There isnt much use for barracks in commercial bldngs.

Nice capture Charles!
