Finally got 3.9 inches of rain...grass/garden looks good. Only got pea size hail, so no insurance claim for new shingles...dang. But no trees down either, with the 60 mph winds...thank you Lord.

Finally got a 1/4 inch of rain...not shutting off sprinklers for a cycle until another half inch falls...hopefully tonight. Mowed the yard yesterday, not too much dust blowing around. Suppose to cool down to normal highs after today...no more upper 80's to 90 for a week.

Wish we'd get a good all day soaking of rain...hail on my shingles would be good also, could use new shingles paid by insurance...lol. I don't want the 9 inches like southern MN and WI got along with flooding issues...just a good inch or two over 24 hours would be great...but why would mother nature...

Be prepared to have all four seasons while passing through Big Horn mountains. That is the truth on BearTooth Hwy. The last time over it was mid to high 70s in Red Lodge and high 30s on top. The struggle is watching the road so you don’t run off. The speed limit in YNP is low and you will get caugh...

Hope everything’s ok :( Looks like he is dealing with a blockage somewhere.He goes into the hospital July 2nd for an angiogram.So there is no way we could make Sturgis,even if the US/Canada Border was open.Got to get this taken care of before there is a heart attack or stroke. Take care. You want t...

Had to take my neighbour into the City yesterday for an appointment at the hospital..I dropped her off and then found a place to park..No one is allowed into the hospital unless they are there for some tests or of course if you are sick.I was fine with sitting in the car waiting.Took a book with me...

I can understand the residents that dislike the rally, for traffic reasons or their occupation does not depend on the numerous rallys in the hills and income it generates...and found their voice thru the surveys. However, if the Covid19 is their concern...they have the right to stay home or leave th...

I went to 2 hardware stores yesterday, NO one had masks on except the cashier behind the till. None of the customers and none of the other employees running around had masks on. No one was really doing much for social distancing either. I'll be surprised if we don't get a new and bigger outbreak he...

We got out on the lake yesterday for a few hours of social distancing/beverages with 3 other boats. Celebrated a couples 43rd anniversary before we all departed for home cooked meals. Bars/restaurants allowed to open at 25% capacity, sounds like a few will just stay closed... And I'm sure a few will...

I'm hoping life will be back to normal again at some poInt...
I actually ordered a Life Alert bracelet the other day...hoping it will beep when I have a life again

Joke....a man walked into a bar...lucky guy. :drinking: Same crap here in MN. Almost everything opening Monday, except bars/restaurants as long as business owners have a social distance plan in place. Yet, Target, Wal-Mart, Menards have had 100 cars in the parking lot almost every hour of every day ...

I'm hoping to get down to AZ in October for bike week...since it was cancelled this spring. Hopefully Cave Creek will be hopping, as we don't spend much time in Scottsdale.

We did get in a few rides during our January visit, but never got back after that...thanks to Covid19.

You flipped the page lizzy we may make 100 by rally time

We just might,especially if there isn`t a rally until 2021

Geez I hope so...this thread started in 2017...lol.

Hopefully finish removing gutters today and getting seamless ones installed next week...then off for ride with my bride. Would have finished gutters yesterday but friends stopped by for a little social distance out on the driveway. Happy Saturday y'all.

I heard from a friend yesterday the city of Sturgis is making a decision on June 15. Rumor has it that if it is not cancelled, but you decide not to attend you lose your deposit...just like sporting events.
Any better info Randee??? Enquiring minds want to know...

Wal-Mart scares me even without Covid19...LOL. It's worth a few extra bucks per $100 purchase to shop at Target and keep my sanity rather than Walmart... But that's just me.

Great idea...I built self-watering garden boxes last year. Best idea ever...we left for a week vacation twice last year and the subterranean watering system worked great. One week was in the 90's almost everyday and no dried out plants.
Planning to build 2 more this spring...

Unless everyone starts wearing masks to suppress this virus or a vaccine is found...I believe there will be a 2nd wave. MN death rate is currently at 5% of those that contract it...USA is the same. That's one in twenty, not sure SD would want to increase those odds having it brought into the Hills? ...

We haven't cancelled Sturgis yet...but considering MN Covid peak is projected for July, South Dakota's is August... I'm guessing we'll be staying home.

48 degrees here today...missed the 59 earlier this week. Time to convert garage to summer, move snowmobiles to the back and maybe take the bike out for first MN ride after my buddy brought it back from AZ..since bike week was rescheduled.

MN just got Stay at Home ordered until May 4. The only way this ends is everyone in the country starts wearing masks, homemade cloth...leave the manufactured ones for the health care workers. Otherwise the virus spread runs into summer and beyond. Masks stop the transfer from the infected individual...

In 2053, someone's grandchild will be celebrating after changing the last roll of toilet paper their grandparents purchased during Covid19 in 2020.

Cool and sunny today. We also got the "shelter in place" order here in Georgia. I will see if I can sneak out on the bike later.

We are only suppose to go out for food, groceries or gas. But we can go for rides, so nothing says a motorcycle ride is against the governors executive order.

Aprils Fools Day...And this dang Corona beer virus is still here. I was really hoping it was all a bad joke, not looking that way at all.

The snowbirds coming back to Canada seem to think that the self isolation does not apply to them..How stupid can people be ...

Just remember...those same people wonder why dogs are so hard to train, yet can't understand sit/stay themselves.

Bars, restaurants, no gatherings of more than 10 people has been extended to May 1 in MN. Hope all the snowbirds coming back north self quarantine for 14 days...nobody in media, governor has mentioned that yet.

I bought a 24 pack of TP on Friday, we were down to 7 rolls in 3 bathrooms. also, bought a 5 pack of respiratory masks...just in case one of us gets sick. Restaurants, bars have been closed since Monday, suppose to reopen Friday...we'll see. My guess is we'll be in lockdown for another 2 weeks. Oh w...

MN bars, restaurants got closed @ 5:00 today, along with the liquor stores. Hopefully at the end of the month the government will just say April Fools and all will be back to normal...??..lol.

Yeah, really sucks here also...high school tournaments cancelled, no ncaa hockey, nor nhl. Also, weather is blah...30's for highs, can't snowmobile or motorcycle this time of year...really missing the sports. My bike is in AZ and we cancelled airline flights this week...so I'm hoping my buddy hauls ...

Well we may all be dead from the virus... Or broke from the stock market crash by August. But gas will be cheap...LOL.
