I resemble that remark. 😁

Okay, not quite what you think, but it is a Honda. Have some friends who are back in country do to some unrest where they've been serving as missionaries for the last almost 40 years. Had a very short amount of time to get out leaving their business and belongings behind. Back in the states til August of next year while they regroup and make a new plan. While here they are going to need to do some traveling to raise more financial support. So will be doing that over a fair amount of this spring and early summer. Their travels will take them all over the U.S. so they figured they might get a small toy hauler, 18ft, and save some hotels along the way. Also thought they would take a toy along as they go to help the monotany of their time on the road. So last fall for one of their meetings, they flew to Dallas, and while there, purchased a Honda Gold Wing and drove it back to Montana. They'll put that in their little toy hauler and take it a long. Soooo...... most of the winter my friends stuff has been in my wife's ear about how much fun it is, and all of the other people we both know that have bikes that we can get out on rides with. It didn't take much convincing, I've wanted to get a bike for a long so started looking a lithe over a month ago and finally found one. So last Friday after work took off for Eastern North Dakota to go get my new to me purchase. Was a miserable trip. I was pulling a 17ft empty cargo trailer and drive in 30-45 mph head/cross wind the entire way. Pulled into my buddy's house in Bismarck at 2 am, but by the time we visited and I got settled it was 3:30 am and was up at 7:30 ready to drive the remaining 2½ hours. He had different plans so after breakfast we didn't get out of Bismarck until after 9:30. Had 40 to 45 mph wings the remaining distance. Long story sutures short, got home Sunday evening at 6 pm. More wind, rain, snow m, and ice on my way home. 1450 miles. Not sure how folks can live in that part of the country. Stopped and took pics from four directions. Absolutely nothing you see in any direction. Ended up with a 2008 1800, very nice shape only 25,000 miles. Trails don't open till mid June so will have some time to ride before atv season starts.

That guy should be in prison. I just don't understand how people can be so openly deceptive and have no consequences. He will ultimately be held accountable one day.

Holy cow Jeep, where is this at? I have some concerns about our city government. We have new city management out of Texas. Absolutely no idea what in the world they are doing. For the first time in a long time i've been thankful for not much snow. This guy and his cronies that he brought with them have no clue how to run anything. Don't know how he got the job. But he brought several people with him. And the same thing first thing they did was voted themselves. Big races and all brand new vehicles. Every time it snows They plow only certain streets, One of them is ours And they plow everything right into The area where We have our guest parking. Also in front of our driveway. They create a Burn about eighteen inches high by eight feet wide every time. And if we push it back in the street they will ticket us. They are not taking care of things that they should be So I have some big concerns about our future.

Sorry to tell you, every night 🌙, gotta have that fresh air and cold pillow.💨💤

Not sure why it wouldn't let me edit that so sorry for the double post.🤔 Not quite as cold today but still not going to be warming up to outside work temps until Wednesday. Supposed to be 40 by Saturday, weird year.

How was the rideNot sure where. But somewhere in the valley

Colder in Bozeman

Cooled down here supposed to be -33 @ 7 a.m. tomorrow morning. First bit of cold we've had, concerned about moisture content for the year😒

Congrats Shade! Not sure I'm going to make it out this year. Having some issues with my right foot, need to get in and get it checked. Glad for your success.

The son of a friend of mine just got his first ever Bull elk with his bow, was pretty stoked.

I sure hope so!

😥😢😱OH Boo Hoo!!!!🤣

😁

Crybabies!😁

Owners listed the Vacation rental, here's the link. They did a great job with pics, homeowner said he crashed his drone getting the aerials, that's a bummer. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/725392631475670776?adults=1&viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76&unique_share_id=B7A79925-6D68-4FE2-AAC4-40DA423FFA40&_branch_match_id=1247268595566879823&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXT0zKS9LLTdU3Kg0trEiNLM90TQIA9qrPmRsAAAA%3D&source_impression_id=p3_1698626948_8wlV6ZLZZvufnApT

Bummer😕

Oh, I guess we do ride through some webs but spiders we have here in the woods aren't anything to worry about, and webs aren't ever that thick.

Spider whips? What the heck are they? Chilly start tomorrow. Back yard this afternoon. Coming your way Prov!!!!

My understanding is it isn't legal to purposely feed deer here in Montana. This part of an article that I read to understand it better and to make sure I'm making a true statement. "States where no deer feeding is allowed include: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. However, baiting deer is allowed in these states: Arizona, Hawaii, Kansas, Nevada, New Hampshire, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, and Washington." I just know while growing up I was always told we weren't allowed to do it.

Against the law here, get in Biiiiigggg trouble for baiting.

Thanks for getting me riled up fish🤣😉

Have enough people moving here as it is. This place is so screwed up now I'm about ready to move out of here. Developers are not being held responsible for any infrastructure improvements or impaact fees. Our city just built a new 8 million dollar firestation a year ½ ago and now they put a mill levy on the ballot to raise every households taxes another $220 a year for more fire protection. They are building apartment building after apartment building 3-4 stories tall, median house price in Belgrade is $620,000 dollars. People can't afford to buy houses here so they move into an apartment. They want new schools, new parks, new library (which they are building now at a cost of 16 million, how can a library cost more than a fire station? Who even goes to the library any more? Especially with acess to information on the iternet?), an aquatic center, and the best of everything, but they are not property owners and paying property taxes, and......vote all of these mills through. It truly is driving the natives out of here. I have a 2800 square foot house in town and my taxes are about $400 a month. Not the Bozeman/Belgrade of old that's for sure. Now add the cold to that! I need this shirt. I still like it here but some of those small towns in Wyoming are sure looking inviting. We were looking at some properties down there on our trip to South Dakota last week. I could sell my house here, buy a 4 bedroom 3 bath one level home with a 40x80 shop on 15 acres and still put money in the bank. On top of that, nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. Pretty tempting.
