Errr... I'd strongly suggest skipping and trekking the extra mile or so to go to Xicamiti. :thumb:
Xicamiti is like 5-6 extra miles. And Tafolino's is pretty much garbage. I'm certain Hacienda Colorado will be at best gingo-fied Mexican grub, but if it's reasonably tasty and close, I'll take it.

In hell. Welcome!
Last day in shit work today. Rode early on frozen rutted mud, it was glorious. Then off to work, said bye to a few good friends, left before fucking camera crew had a chance to capture my ugly mug (we're celebrating two years, with cake, and will turn that into a recruiting video, yay), now back home sipping the first G&T of the day. Memorial service for a departed friend later this evening, le sigh.

When I open an Excel workbook and see multiple tabs named and populated, but “Sheet 2” and “Sheet 3” are at the end with no content.

Been pretty much useless today after getting a tetanus shot yesterday. Dr.also gave me scripts for muscle relaxers in case of back spasms, and antibiotics for Lyme disease. Getting a hearing exam in a week or two. Also have to get a dental checkup.

Five months is a long time to live in the woods.

Lasts six weeks or six washing. Sweet
Those are 'buy more stuff' recommendations, I apply once a season and it holds up well enough.
If you're not applying anything on your skin in Maine bug season (Repel red can ftw) you're going to want to die anyhow.

Wife has it, avoid at all costs.
Stuff below for gear since I know you travel light.

Yeah, that might be a necessity later down the trail. Saw a warning video about not putting it on your underwear. Apparently it's bad for yer balls.

He should miss most of bug season if hes starting out in April.

I think it's sort of a religious thing. I don't do bug goop of any sort because I regard it as poison. I get pestered by black flies and other blood suckers, but not too much. I spend half my life in the brush and for the most part ticks seem to think I taste bad.

You’re lucky.
Mosquitos etc I can deal with for most part but ticks where I spend lots of time have been bad. Found half dozen embedded deer ticks on myself last summer alone.

I’ve found treated clothes and truck interior (dogs get covered in ticks) reduce the bullshit to acceptable levels but I’ll bathe in agent orange peak season if it keeps me outside.

My dogs get Simparica pills for ticks/fleas.
Have yet to find attached ticks on them.
They still drag the ticks inside etc though.

My brothers in CO don’t seem to have tick issues with their dogs.
