Naval Support Activity Philadelphia is a 134 acres United States Navy base located in the Lawncrest section of Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and located 113 miles east of its parent command, NSA Mechanicsburg. With the exception of a few buildings, much of the base is industrial in style, and consists of office-converted warehouses for the various Naval supply commands located on the installation.

According to the base guide, its warehouse offices and other buildings amount to 2,250,000 square feet of cubic space on the base. It also provides support services to Navy units that are situated at the Philadelphia Navy Yard Annex.

Yes, good thank you, but crazy busy. My new boss decided it was time to pay attention. Sheesh!

It has been so pretty here, and am enjoying it very much.

And I hope you are too!!

You’re welcome! Hope you’re enjoying the cool weather as much as I am!

After reading your post to radu [LOL!]....I do NOT like your new boss! Sounds like a bully to me.

Hi there, Janey! Hope you’re enjoying the fall weather from up there. Can you see the bright foliage? Is it gorgeous where you are?

Definitely different from my old boss.

I will stay until the end of our big one in April, but then it may be time for me to ride off into the sunset. 22 years there is long enough, LOL!

Howdy, luvie.

Did you ever get any more rain after this morning’s shower?

Oh, wunnerful. I know you're thrilled.

It's been very pretty here, too, and I love it, especially since I sit outside for several hours. Only 3 more days of that, thank goodness.

It HAS been a long run, and you’ve worked your tush off! I truly wouldn’t blame you. After all, that new boss seems to treat you like a 18-year old trainee or something.

I hate bully bosses. I had one which is why I retired when I did. I had ENOUGH! LOL!

Hey there, radu!

Nope. That little shower was all we got from a promise of 70% chance of rain. Typical, though. Not as many rain days forecast now either. The good part is that with the wonderful clouds, it ‘’only’’ got up to 69 today. I loved it!

How were things at the tent today? Is voting traffic picking up? Did you do any mowing when you got home, or were you bushed?
