Morning routine.#CatsOfMastodon

Saw this sign in Blazin’ Boomers AT hiking video by Manchester, VT. A quick search finds more details:"During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, New England was confronted by a far-reaching vampire panic.”https://www.wgpfoundation.org/historic-markers/manchester-vampire/ Not to entirely spoil the story, but as John Green would say, Everything is Tuberculosis.https://youtu.be/Q8S9UN-Ofps

Needed a shakedown hike with backpack/gear/body and figured a "nice" rainy morning might be good. Hoping to hike Vermont's AT soon.#Mosstodon #RedEft #Lichen #hiking #NHwx

On the hike the other day I saw something sticking out of the (dried) mud where there’d normally be a small stream. Popped it out and lugged home to clean up or toss out. The carrying case is in pretty bad shape, but the insides cleaned up nice enough. About 1lb and collapses into a 12" or so “tube" shape. Will put out on the curb w/free sign.I find tents and hunting blinds on my hikes and bushwhacking. Someone buys it at a box store, sets it up for the season, gets bored an forgets about it, leaving it mouldering in the woods forever.#NoTrace

Went to flu/covid vaccine appointment at cvs:“there’s no appointment for you”oh? (should have read that summary page closer)"we can do a walk-in” [much typing…] "says you already got the flu shot on 14th”I cancelled that appt right after making it"insurance company shows they paid”Realizing I’m not going to solve insurance issues here, I tell them I'll just pay for it. Got the shots, paid for flu, picked up pizza. Wonder what chances are of getting medicare to reimburse the flu shot?

Tuesday morning MTB ride with friends. Rain forecasted for 4am, then moved to 8am, then back and forth. We headed out at 7am onto bone dry, dusty trails. There may have been a single drop of rain halfway through. Great bike ride, still waiting on the rain.#MTB #BikeTooter #NHwx

The morning hike was up an old Class VI road that was probably once well traveled until they realized a half century or so ago that going *around* the mountain is better than over it! Jumped on the AT for 4 miles, a little road walking, then back via some trails I hadn't done before ... very up. “:^) #hiking #AppalachianTrail

Scenes from the mid-day ride.#BikeTooter

A “couple" along the rail trail. I thought they were newlyweds in past years, but maybe not. Trying to not read too much into what the dummies are thinking or doing.#FallDecorations

37.8°F/3.2C this morning and it feels crisp. Like, “where's that light fleece pullover?" crisp.

Weather Underground's new look (in dark mode). The "perpetual rain line” they sometimes get is an annoying bug, but not part of the UI changes.Second image is current version for comparison (no dark mode available). It has a wind graph and more other bits scattered around page.

It’s getting colorful in New Hampshire.#Fall #NHwx #BikeTooter

I’d been wondering where the squirrels have been.

Now with BFS! (banana for scale)Also, first time showing different angles because this one is a rich tapestry of emotions. (or I couldn't choose)#RorschachLatte

Brace yourself everyone, he’s emerging from the cat-o-sphere. There will be stretching! #CatsOfMastodon

With no appts today I headed out for a solo MTB ride in the cool, foggy morning. #BikeTooter #MTB #Mushtodon #NHwx

Went to close the cat window and found them busily watching a little sparrow calmly pulling tiny seeds off plants. The three of us watched the bird for a while, then I reached up to slide the window closed and 5 of them flew away. Maybe the cats saw the others, but I only thought there was one. #birds #CatsOfMastodon

Not sure how much of a waterfall there is, but near Afton, WY there is a thing called the Periodic Intermittent Spring. My sis is going to check it out soon.“From late August to May, the flow cycles on and off at regular, predictable intervals. The spring runs up to 100 cubic feet per second of clear, ice-cold water for about 18 minutes. The water then begins to subside and gradually ceases altogether for 15-20minutes.” https://travelwyoming.com/listing/periodic-intermittent-spring/874/#WaterfallWednesday #Wyoming
