    Southwestern CT

    I moved up to this region a year and a half ago. There is a ton to ride in this area. You are right by Collis P Huntington which is great for intermediate riders. There is tech on the rock and roll and chimney trails, the rest is pretty tame and all can be ridden in a few hours. Rockhouse in...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Full 180 by the GOP on Russia in the matter of 6 months. $$$ talks. We are doomed. Closer to Russia than we are to Canada now. What a disgrace of a country we have become.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    The disinformation machine is at it again. Let's summarize this graphic (assuming values are correct) The US used to charge a markup of 3.4% on UK goods but it's now raised to 10% The UK used to charge a markup of 5.1% on US goods but it's now lowered to 1.8% US businesses could possibly...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    I loved one of the top comments in a post I saw and it sums up my mindset so well with what is going on because it just doesn't make sense regarding these tariffs. People think Trump is playing 4d chess... When we're just trying to stop him from eating the chess pieces.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    What are you arguing? It is a fact that Ivermectin was being used dangerously due to misinformation spread during COVID and people were sourcing animal formulations of the drug which isn't safe for human consumption. So it is a satirical comment to say that people were using horse de-wormer...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Here is why we didn't bat an eye when Canada put high tariffs on US goods previously. The previous Canadian tariffs on US goods were on Dairy Products, Poultry and eggs, and grain products. All of these things were long standing trade policies by Canada to support domestic industries. These...

    Wildlife

    Nope, these guys are monarchs. My daughters raised 30 this summer just from the milkweed patch behind our garage. Very cool to watch for a while... now I just want the poop filled cages out of my house :). 2 left and that will be it for the season.

    Sorry to hear about Duggie, Jim. Our time with our fur babies is too short. Hoping you find peace in all the happy memories of Duggie.

    Who likes to smoke their meat?

    Probably too much liquid added on wrap and things boiled for a while... idk. What did you use for the wrap? I never do ribs in foil. It has to be paper for 3-2-1 method imo to let it seep out a bit. Also, maybe you don't like fall off the bone, and your new method is fine. 3-2-1 while work...

    Unreal how hard, but also how gorgeous the gravel is here. Had a great Independence Day Ride. Now time to ruin all that fitness progress by drinking a bunch of beer, eating a brat, a cheeseburger, a hotdog, wings, and then light stuff on fire to honor America like our Founding Fathers would...

    Day 3. Did some recovery gravel and exploring/bushwhacking. Ridewithgps kinda let me down. There was a trail there at some point but it was abandoned long ago. I’ll have to maybe see who owns that plot and clear it out because it could be a sweet bit of trail to link up some good gravel...
