Just pulled a tick off my son's head that's been there sucking away for a while. Fucking fuming.

Good that you were actually able to see it. Pulled one off me this Spring that was tiny, about the size of a piece of cracked pepper corn. Couldn’t tell it was a tick until I looked at it under a 10x loupe.
Keep checking him for a target shaped rash. Probably nothing to worry too much about though.
fuck ticks.
good ride on slippery rocks, roots, and leaves. let a few psi out of my tires, which helped immensely. one bridge tried to kill me though. need to go back and put some chicken wire on that fucker.

Good advice! Although CDC has your area as high incidence for Lyme disease (https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/datasurveillance/maps-recent.html), it is not as high as in neighboring states. Be aware that not all patients get this characteristic rash. You can either try to have the doctor check him for antibodies or let your son take antibiotics as a precaution if you are concerned.
@AngryMetalsmith : ticks have different sizes depending on the species of if you catch a nymph or an adult. Once I even suspected I had a larva on me, which apparently are not commonly bite humans.
I got thoroughly fucked up by lyme disease about 10yrs ago, so I know the dangers all too well. Bell's palsy, loss of taste and smell, arthritis, the whole deal. Main reason why I'm so pissed about it.
I never did see the stereotypical bullseye rash on myself, but will obviously keep an eye on him. Also kept the tick so it can be tested.

Don't dumb it down. If you can't ride it, walk it.
Shit is getting weird in Poland. 27 Generals have criticized the ruling party. While their message was mild in tone all I have to say is Jesus. I'd never thought I'd live in a clusterfuck where the army criticizes the government for non army related legislation.
We waved toward your house as we rode over 58 on the pedestrian bridge for the first time ever.
friend took kids out....went to house of young....visibly drunk young men...kids got their candy....reported back to mom and bucket of beer on ice for adults...
Shockingly busy at our socially distanced candy bucket last night. Kids seemed good about only taking a piece or two each, didn't have to answer door. Had beers with neighbors instead. 10/10 will do halloween like this again next year.
hah! we let our younger kid go out on his own around the hood with a friend and he also reported back about a bucket of beer...shoulda gone with him, i guess!
where did you ride today?
Stopped by a garage sale at the home of the lady who had the radial saw and bench. She was selling a large lego set that Haley wanted, so we agreed to split the cost of $30. Turns out it was an unopened Skyra's Mysterious Sky Castle that is $250. Apparently her son used to work for the Lego store and has collections around his room that he's slowly breaking down for her to sell. She still has my phone, so when she gets a bunch together, she's going to let me know so I can come buy them from her. I'm assuming the price will be relatively cheap, given how low cost this was and that she was going to give me the saw for free.
Also found out that the ex who took the saw left his storage unit open by accident and someone stole the whole bench and saw.

If you want to score a LOT of LEGOs for cheap, second hand kid stores are your go-to. I almost bought two 4# bags for $20 each when we were there last for Hannah. Just mixed pieces, but cheap and good for stuff to build from. We're pushing the threshold where Haley can just download new instructions and build from parts, so we don't need to get sets. Thinking about it... I don't think we've ever bought a new set.
that reminds me, i need to do a panoramic photo of my son's room. it's ridiculous. he got all of my old ones, and was collecting pretty hardcore from age 5-13. he likes to keep things together . . .
prepping lists of shit i need to do this week, then gonna have another beer and re-watch some of the race cast to the tv.
GGC, Crawford Gulch, Smith Hill, Robinson Hill, Douglas Mtn, Cent Cone, back down GGC, up Lookout.
Then the greater Yellowstone ecosystem might actually be the place for you!

Also we now have a near total collapse of our healthcare system. The govt fucked up and we are 6th in the world in terms of absolute death numbers (daily). 6TH!!!! In a country with 38 milion people! Our healthcare used to be 2nd most underfunded in EU, if you correct for population spread it is probably 1st. I live in John Carpenter movie. All i need is Isaac Hayes to come back from the dead and take control over organized crime
