I really can’t recall....but it was in a new housing development and my aunt and uncles home was split-level.
Now you’ve got me really wondering just where in NJ I was!
Actually I had to stay with these strangers, (who I had never met before), after my mother was in a very serious car accident... my father died when I was four. So distant family we re called in to help.
Needless to say after I returned home to Pa I never saw them again.
Just because you have the MONEY to buy an expensive car, boat, aircraft, etc. does NOT mean that you have enough BRAINS to operate one safely.
(One of our Texas Game Wardens last year found a pair of “fishermen” about 5-6 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico in a 14 foot flat-bottom aluminum Johnboat, powered by a 10-horse Johnson outboard. - OUT OF GAS but the pair had plenty of beer aboard.)
Fyi, I’m a long-time volunteer with TPWD & some of the DUMB-bunny stunts that I’ve seen SELF-important dunces trying on the water, while absent even basic KNOWLEDGE & COMMONSENSE, would be FUNNY if they were not so potentially dangerous.
(In 2018, while out at a boat launching ramp, I encountered a “20-something” married couple with a an obviously brand new & expensive 18-foot bass boat on a trailer & towed by a late model Ford pickup, who didn’t even know how to launch the boat off the trailer.- They were helped, by bystanders, to get the boat into the water but it was then discovered that neither owner knew how to start an outboard motor. = REAL GENIUSES was that pair.)
Fwiw, BOOZE, DRUGS & BOAT FUEL don’t mix well.

Also on Lake Somerville yesterday. My wife counted 100+ boats at the start. There were a few airboats and some large sailboats followed behind.
Great day with lots of tailgaiting on the shores.
Here’s ‘Lake Somerville Boat Parade’....over 300 boats plus as news reports....including people showing up on shore t celebrate with the boaters.

Was at Hippie Hollow Saturday for first weekend of nude sunbathing it was great. Saw the boat with the 6 Trump flags as we were leaving around 1 and a bunch of trucks and cars with boats and Trump flags on our way back to Austin. Beautiful day, have a tan all over and a red butt today.
I’m thinking democrat frogman sabotaging the boats or drinking was involved... : )
Travis Lake has leftist sharks in it.
It was a good day. A huge number of people on the shore to watch while tailgaiting.
Good Central Texas folks.
All these boating parades for Trump have to be encouraging for him. He ‘sees’ his supporters gathering and knows they’re enjoying supporting his Presidency....with all that gets flung at him “He Sees Us!” and I think that matters.
