ckf Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 I think today is supposed to be the warmest day this week and my weather station has recorded a high of 85. Nice breeze to help keep it feeling a little cooler. What was the temperature in your neighborhood today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 88 but now it’s down to a chilly 85...my daughter was home for the weekend and went back to Marquette yesterday afternoon and it was 95 when she got there.🥴😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted June 7, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted June 7, 2021 Got to 91 here wasn’t bad in the shade with the breeze this morning but in the sun it was hot. Stayed inside pretty much all afternoon. I’m cold blooded I hate the heat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got diagnosed with sleep apnea a year ago, and have been on a Cpap machine just recently. I also cut way back on the booze which also helped. I fall asleep quickly and have been way better rested. I like it. So good luck man. 10 hours ago, irv said: Worry and stress are big factors, as is drinking coffee or caffeinated drinks within at least 6+ hrs before bed. Do you like background noise? My biggest problem is I am a light sleeper so I hear everything bump and creek in the night. Years ago I purchased a sound machine with various, mostly nature sounds to drown those out. It took a bit of getting use to but once I found the sound I liked, it made a huge difference. I feel your pain. Good luck. I ended up getting about two hour's sleep. I was a wreck today at work. I'm a very light sleeper. I have my air conditioner on at night to drown out other noises and to keep my room cool. I hope to get some sleep tonight or I'm screwed. It's supposed to be another hot one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be another hot one tomorrow. I take unisom pills sometimes when I go a few nights in a row with only a few hours sleep each night. Usually I’ll take it at 7pm right when we start getting our kids ready for bed im usually out by 8 don’t wake up till 7am next day. Just a side note here. I heard on the radio the other day about a study that said people’s bad sleep was due to the amount of time they sit infront of a computer screen or phone something about blue lights. I don’t know if that’s the case but maybe reducing that might help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do shots of Z-quil. It helps a ton, but if I've been really active mentally or physically before bed, some nights I have like a runners high and will lay away for hours. I try to get some dome since I'm convinced it'll help put me to sleep, but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 The air if finally drying out here in northern Vermont. The dew point has fallen from 69° at 8am to 60° at 11am. Coupled with a nice NW breeze, 78° feels nice in the shade! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Oh and the woodchuck had 4 new ones….the fuckers are everywhere…well there’s 2 left now.

ckf Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Did some flying yesterday. First Connecticut Lake in Pittsburg, NH. For those familiar with the trails, Magalloway Road on the right, and what used to be Corridor 5 on the left. When driving in Maggaloway road you can see where the teeth of the clubs drags have worn in to some of the large rocks in the road surface. Some even look like you are approaching a culvert that is partially exposed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another cool spot up there is Garfield falls idk if you’d see it from a drone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried Magallway with a drone, but I have watched. @Angry ginger go backwards down a part of the trail to the fire tower on sleds. I've photographed Garfield Falls from the ground with my DSLR several years ago. I'm not sure if I could get a drone in there or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trail with low snow and ice under fluff no studs is not a fun place to be. If you can actually get to the top it’s a nice view though so worth the try anyways.

We've made it up on other occasions. We used to do a couple thousand miles a season in the area when we rode out of a buddy's camp on South Hill in Stewartstown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rode all over the area over the years. The Millsfield area seemed to be the hidden gem of the area IMO. The trails were always flat and fast I never bothered to go to the bowl as I don't like getting stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one of the reasons we don’t go there much anymore we ride weekends 90% of the time and Pittsburg is just insane on weekends with crowds and cops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Looking for some stuff on the Facebooks and find a lot of shit with "$1 - Make Offer", then they offended at my offer. If you want $100 for something, price it as such so dickhead me doesn't waste your time with a $10 or $20 offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
