Sort of Mexican food yesterday but a Nordic twist. I was not super impressed but had a good time. Got some good beer at Mikkeller and we managed to swing by a cocktail bar too.

Was raining this morning so cancelled ride plans and took the bikes apart and packed them into the travel cases.

Sun is out now...

I hate those things so much, I get ones so small I have to get a camera out just to make sure that they are ticks.
Last ones got down inside my gloves when I was spraying weeds in the creek, the juvenile ones make you itch for ages.

I wish there was a small hand held real time camera that one could use to examine one's inaccessible areas like the back. Now that Hilarie's pretty much nonfunctional, if I get an itch where I can't see it I can't figure out what it is.

Woke up before sunrise to go golf with my sister and her BF. No regrets.

 

[stoney]

Here. Dentist.

 

[canadmos]

I can't wait to get the new 1up rack, but derp, kind of sitting here in the dark and they didn't email me a confirmation or anything and no updates since.

Happy its Friday, there is some riding to do this weekend.

 

[sunringlerider]

nice day here. I think I might swap car for bike at lunch.

Yeah that would be tough, my neighbour is a nurse so she comes in handy.

Be glad you aren't a moose.

Winter ticks wiped out nearly 90% of the moose calves scientists tracked in part of Maine last year

Winter ticks, which are sometimes called moose ticks, have been pestering Maine moose for about a century and likely longer. But their numbers have exploded in parts of Maine, New Hampshire, Minnesota and southern Canada. It’s not uncommon for biologists or hunters to find moose infested with...

Find an old GoPro or something and view it via Bluetooth.

Not sure about resolution and close-up functionality - some ticks are tiny.

Howling winds today, stronger than yesterday. And temps have dropped about 40° vs yesterday. Still hoping for an afternoon ride. I hear tell we might get rain or snow starting around 8pm, interested to see how that plays out. After a month and a half of no progress, I started working on the Bong Shed™ again a couple days ago. Feels good to be back on that, too bad this little precip event might put a damper on weekend work. The weather is here, wish you were beautiful.

O espresso, where art thou?

I've not tried this myself (but will) but I've read that it works very well.

Hello all

I've sprayed my hunting clothing with permethrin the past 3 years and have not picked up a single tick during that time. Done plenty of bushwacking too, so I have a hard time believing it is just a coincidence.

But is hunting season tick season? I only ever had tick problems in the middle of the summer.

Here in the Northeast, most definitely. There are still oodles of ticks during the fall. Picked them up in non-insignificant quantities scouting just before the hunting season, so I know they're out there.

Not to mention, most of the deer have quite a few on them, so it's not uncommon for any unattached ticks to crawl onto you while field dressing.

Not for cat owners though.

I haven't used insect repellent in 6 years

This is true. It is highly toxic to cats and aquatic life.

I usually spray my clothes outside, in a controlled, non-windy environment, away from water sources, and don't touch my clothes until they are dry. Clothes go on before I leave to hunt and come off immediately when I get home.

It’s not pheromones @Westy is talking about. It’s the fumes from making soap from...never mind.
