Thinking I need to try riding southern more. Same here. I do know a little about SW VT because Nicole is from Bennington. Tons of snow in the Greens between Brattleboro and Bennington. Woodford probably isn't to far from you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt but it gets way too much traffic. Aside from IP and derby I prefer to stay in the towns no one has heard of before. But my favorite is still the Orleans snowstormers trails. Mostly field riding. But some yrs ( like last yr ) the snow cover there sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what he says midweek isn't bad. Everybody bitches about IP being bad, but it's nothing compared to Pittsburg on the weekend. Back in the 90's it was different. The higher cost to ride in VT has cut the numbers way back in VT compared to what it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a problem with high permit costs either. I reg NH , VT and Maine every yr. Think about it a seasons reg is equal to 1 day of skiing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to ride northern NH Sunday - Tuesday when my buddy had his camp on South Hill. Sunday's were fine as most people have a long drive home on Sunday morning.

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted November 6, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 6, 2018 Back in the late 80 I did a job in Bloomington. Stayed at the northern comfort. 2 days a week I would ride to the border motel in Derby for dinner. Unfortunatly that place is a shithole now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cut our cable down to nothing, so I don't have the option of doing it anymore. Not a whole lot of network shows I watch religiously anymore. Pretty burned out on car/bike builds.

Every once in a while you see someone post that made reservations to stay there because they stayed there 25-30 years ago and loved it. They arrive to a run down shithole with addicts living in most of the rooms seriously though....that has to suck!!!! 8 minutes ago, Cold War said: I used to do that too.

We should do the same. With the exception of the NFL and Nascar, we only watch an hour or two of TV a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid went to the room , went back to the office and asked for our money back. Then stayed at the 4 seasons. Unfortunatly the " crossing " in Richford is now the same way, Too bad as it used to be a great place to get a good steak and a cheap room.

Baseball is pretty much what we watch in summer and they make sure you’re not getting any local sports. So channels we don’t get, makes no sense. I think when you cut your package they look to see which ones you watch and take them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife had bought one of those antennas that look like a tablet. Good time to try it out Didn’t work good at all. We picked up about 60 channels, but they were all choppy.

Zambroski Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I’m feeling a tad “off” today so, my wife just flipped on “Castle Rock”. Looks pretty interesting so far. Reminds me of that series “Fargo”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted November 6, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 6, 2018 I've been watching Strike Back lately. Plot is ok and has lots of action with explosions, gun fights and soft porn. All the stuff to offend people like RevBeta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The pyramid code. Mini series on Netflix. Really neat series of theories about the purpose and uses of Egyptian monuments. From aqueducts, astronomy observation chambers, natural energy gathering of electricity, etc. If you're into that kinda stuff, it's pretty interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I just finished 2 seasons of Ozark. Interesting but not amazing. Kinda slow alot of the time. I don't think Jason Bateman smiled once in both seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Bad blood, on Netflix: "Montreal Mafia boss Vito Rizzuto is released from prison after serving 31 years for murder and seeks revenge on those who killed his family and friends." pretty good so far, kinda like sons of anarchy but with nook wops. Based on true stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
