Last Notes npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Still struggling to focus. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 After yesterday's hike I checked for ticks, as I did during the hike, and didn't find anything except some scuffs of dirt. One of those scuffs fell off onto the parking lot and started walking. I got this closeup, look at them jaws. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 You can hop on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail in St Johnsbury, VT and take that over to NY State, hop on the Empire State Trail and be in NYC in just over 500 miles and 17,000ft elevation. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 "Slime molds have little or no fossil history, as might be expected given that they are small and soft-bodied." npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I do mean, tiny. Around 12ft x 5ft and maybe 3ft deep in the center. For ducks I imagine the only draw is that it's deeper and has less traffic than our driveway puddles. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 It's a rainy morning and as I went out to hang the bird feeder, two ducks took off from of our tiny little frog pond. I don't remember that ever happening. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 https://files.techhub.social/media_attachments/files/116/487/605/471/380/561/original/ffb40f9c254772c5.jpeg npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 What a strange, alien landscape. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Why Worcester? Good question! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Kid and I are on mini vacation of sorts. Started day biking in Worcester, then commuter train to Boston, walked around and ate, train back for more walking and eating. Your basic kid likes trains, dad likes bikes compromise. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 A few more from the morning hike. Oranges and greens on the menu today. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Got home from a quick trip and look what happened while we were away. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 happy floating, Tim! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I took mine in 2024 after a mt bike accident left me with no other option but to walk all of the time. ":^) npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I don't think it was that one, but that is excellent. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I don't remember the original inspiration, just that it took a lot of walking to find the right combo of flower and Sun angle to pull it off. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Along the Merrimack last night. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 [picks Basic after clicking checkbox saying, essentially "this option sucks and we hate you as a customer"] npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Booked flight for sister and man has that experience become awful. Ended up using Jetblue into Burlington and even though it was cross-booked on their partner, United, it was about 200% less obnoxious. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 18°F (-8C) with hints of sunny and 50's today. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Happy 18 years! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Different pharmacy. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 https://files.techhub.social/media_attachments/files/116/359/768/002/174/096/original/3fda52a3818aecb2.jpeg npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Drew, the guy who is SOBO on the AT got past Killington and started talking about mailing his snowshoes home. That was 2 or 3 episodes back, still spending parts of the day on snowshoes, especially after existing snow warms and turns into posthole land. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Welcome back Frogger! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 good call npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Congrats on the washer/dryer! Did you go with the tried and true or for the newer heat pump enhanced combo unit? npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 The last of our snow. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Well, sure it's Monday, but have you seen the new box?? npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I haven't been out to any of the lakes recently, but with all of the warm weather I figured they'd be all well on their way. The other morning folks I follow on strava were ice skating on the big lake. Looking at the photos it's got a while to go. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 #SilentSunday npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Yep, this morning's hike was before a medical appt. Either walk 200ft to entrance or head exact opposite direction through woods and streams and side roads to end up at a different entrance an hour later. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Scenes from the morning hike. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Speaking of lines, is that bike-able? ';^) npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Black bears emerging from hibernation. From the comments someone in NH says they've already had bird feeders hit by them. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 My buddy up north by Burke VT says they got 8-10" of snow this weekend. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 “Mixed conditions” npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 That almost looks warm! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Orange you glad it's Friday? npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Waiting with a few others outside pharmacy for it to open at 9. Last time a lady showed up and unlocked it from inside about 9:05, so when 9 comes and goes I'm not fretting. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Drew made it to Franconia Ridge (3/10) where it's in the upper 40's (F). Quite a change from his start in Maine, trying to jam his feet into solidly frozen boots every morning. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Where there's a will (and bad product choices), there's a way. ';^) npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 For being below freezing all day the water was really rushing down this little stream, making all kinds of strange ice shapes. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I think this is the best shot from this morning's hike. I recognize moss, little bits of lichen, but fungal "teeth"? No idea. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Looked out basement window and saw vulture soaring above neighbor's house. Ran upstairs and grabbed zoom camera in case it flew by the deck. No memory card, it's downstairs. Flew downstairs and grabbed it, ran back up, went out on deck, looked around corner didn’t see it, thought “maybe it’ll fly over?” and just as I backed up enough to see top of roof it flew over. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 That's an interesting idea, but my brain is still frozen and doesn't think like that yet. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 66°F‼️ (19C) and once again overdressed for most of the bike ride. Stopped to vote and then climbed hills with legs that don't remember this whole "climbing hills" thing. Going to be 20° cooler tomorrow and maybe snow come Friday. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 "Approximately 70% of the route is on unpaved roads, with most of the remaining 40% on low-traffic paved roads and bike paths." npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Biting off a bit more than you can chew? npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Is it a fungus or a shy little forest creature poking it's head into the bark so you don't see it? npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I started building some up on this morning's ride! ';^) npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Very cool texture! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Each club has its own techniques. The WAMBA guys have snowmobile, snowdog, and electric tracked motorcycle thingy. Not sure about Kingdom Trails, but that's a big network and organization so I'm guessing they have a fleet of grooming devices. There's also Green Woodlands up by Dorchester NH, which isn't fat biking but a big (free) cross and skate skiing area with very nicely groomed trails. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 If you're up for a trip to the Northeast Kingdom, Kingdom Trails is, as one person on strava wrote, "Best fat biking conditions I've seen" npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Meanwhile, over on the Woodstock, VT trails ... npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 #SilentSunday npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Just a little wind... npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Silly me, all this time I was thinking squirrels were eating the peanuts. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I need to work on social/sales skills and try to get more people stomping along with me. But, yeah, if I get bored you know where I'll be. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Poked this into existing snow before storm moved in, was almost 10" at the time. Weather service says from 5-8" possible. We'll see how it goes! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Looks like a beautiful day to be up high in the Whites! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 #FungusFriday #Mushtodon npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Double success on today's ride: the camera angle is much better and since it was a group ride, there's other people (and a dog)! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Cat posts are read npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Man, there's some pretty views when he gets to the top. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 That feeling of not making a lick of progress but being more tired than you've ever been. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 SOBO in Maine has not been easy or fast this year. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Being older you have to be careful who you follow on strava. They'll do things like a 60 mile virtual ride before skiing 40 miles. Clock in a century ride and there's pictures of nothing but tasty donuts they ate along the way. You start to think, "hmm, maybe I could do that? It's the donuts, right?" npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Meanwhile on strava they're backcountry skiing at 5:30 this morning. ⛷️ npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 3-4" of fresh snow overnight. Having just shoveled the deck there's big piles building up below. My sis out west, who I chat about weather with most mornings, probably doesn't want to hear it. They've had hardly anything this year and lots of heat. We'll be hoping to reach 10°F (-12C) while they are in the 50's & 60's (10 & 15C) range. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 gotta snail on my lip and that's just fine npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 🧵2 of 2 npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 🧵1 of 2 npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Things are hopping! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 #Mushroms #Mosstodon #ThrowbackThursday npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 "Bicycles are political - bicycles are about community. " npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I rode the 3x shoe trail yesterday but no video. It was a lot smoother and wider than this. Normally I would snowshoe this one because I want to *control* the lines 🧐😂, but put the effort around main trailhead for the greater good. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 A different angle, using the old GoPro Session mounted near front of helmet instead of handlebars. I forgot to pull visor all of the way down and didn't clean lens, so it has a dreamy high school prom photo look to it ... or something. 🤓 npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Back out on the fat bike again, different trailhead. This one gets a lot of foot traffic, which turns the highest trafficked areas rock solid. The others were rideable, just more bumps and sudden soft spots. The hope is that more riders see my strava activity, and more tires out packing it in. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Found a new IR palette to try, crazy. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 well, you answered my question of what a sleep routine could reveal. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 https://files.techhub.social/media_attachments/files/115/992/068/481/583/359/original/2e38926449827e02.jpeg npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Lord knows we need the frogs. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 I think it would be neat to go and look at the ice, maybe look behind it the ice fall. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Meanwhile, somewhere in NH ... npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 probably turns into a frog 🐸 if you do npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 #MagicInTheMundane npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 At medical center for labs I was surprised by how many cars in the parking lot were running, no one inside. Most were normal modern sedans, a truck or two, and even a Prius. I'm guessing they didn't want to risk it not starting or deal with a really cold car (4°F) when they finished appointment. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 #MagicInTheMundane npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 First AT SOBO I've seen for this season, started on the 10th. He hiked the AT northbound 8 years ago. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 It's exercise that, if all goes well, leads to even more exercise that's way more fun. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 That was an hour and a half. The first 15 minutes hips were saying we should go back, then everything loosened up and it was just listening to music and checking out all of the new tracks in the snow while stomping. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Ugh! npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Almost 2 miles. My watch says 12k steps. ":^) npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 The difference between one pass and a few. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Third pass shifts the opposite direction, again making sure to re-pack the center line. Ideally you can find friends/family to join in and get the 2nd & 3rd part done in first pass. npub1x5a4fdzk3l09y2fkulpu0ghmwttkfv66ltn7ew0ejg6jqv0fdjys2hpxfq Jer 🚲 Second packing pass "feels" easier, although it's probably nowhere near rideable yet except maybe downhill.
