    Incorrigible; semi-retarded; eccentric; perhaps a man; somewhere between mean and average; sometimes only a bit over the top; arbitrarily cynical.

    I am trying to find more time to do all the things I need to do.

    Looks like we may be able to make a deal.

    Basically do something productive.
    We cannot afford to waste our time at a time like this when we all crucially need zchusim.

    If it stops raining, go to the beach at Riis Park in Rockaway.
    It's only 20 minutes away from Flatbush, just over the bridge at the end of Flatbush Avenue (past Kings Plaza and Toys R Us.)
    The parking lot is FREE because the beach season is over.
    95% of the people there now are frum, and aside from the beach there is a nice little park for young kids, and a basketball court for the older ones and their fathers.
    A great day for only the $2.75 bridge toll!!!

    You can only go apple picking if you are using the apples for 2nd days (at least per my Rav).

    Looking for ideas for trips in Eretz Yisroel-something special, and maybe unusual

  16. From Yerushalayim, take Superbus line 183 (to Ksalon), get off in Ramat Raziel. Walk from there to Eshtaol (on the Beit Shemesh road, road 38). You start off by following the road (road 395) for about 15 minutes, then at a place where the road drops sharply and turns left and there are some benches and signs, you turn right and follow the path that goes around the hill and gradually down into the valley.
    At the end, you turn left and see a bus stop 200 meters ahead of you where bus 415 back to Jerusalem stops every 30 minutes (and moniot sherut as well).

    This walk is especially beautiful during late afternoon / early evening, watching the sunset from the mountain side. It's about 2-3 hours of walking over light roads with beautiful views. It's just walking down, easy for children as well.

    You can only go apple picking if you are using the apples for 2nd days (at least per my Rav).

    I'm certain it would also be permitted if you used them during Chol HaMoed too (and certainly if you're going to use them that day itself).
