Hot August Nights, But we still need Coffee and Tea!

[The Trinity Kid]

According to the news, the 2020 Sturgis Rally is still in progress. I made it to Sturgis 22 years in a row and wish I was there right now.

The 2010 Sturgis Rally was one of my favorites. It included a visit to the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming and the Little Bighorn Battlefield along with going through Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park.

Below is a two part video of my 2010 Sturgis trip.

I have a couple friends who went: one is a deputy sheriff in my hometown who took his early 60s HD that he restored this year. Last year was his BMW GS. I might try next year, if I can get my hands on a decent set of wheels before then.

Today has been a packing day. We're pretty much ready for the move tomorrow. First night will be in Salem OR, second in Cour d'Alene, ID.  Then the last will be in Missoula.

I still have to decide if I want to bring the old 30-30, or my 280 bolt gun.

I'm out of ice cream, but do have a couple of root beers. But the ice cream we had up until yesterday was chocolate-not my choice for a float.

Evening all. I'll stir the beans and rustle the coals for the night crew.

Long day on the road. But we have safely made it to Salem, OR for the night. Currently awaiting the arrival of a pizza, then showers and sleep. Up and at it again in the morning to Cour d'Alene, ID.

Well I'm up early, put on my sweatpants grabbed the haversack (man purse) got in the Yuppie Mobile and took the kid to school and dealt with the real Yuppies.    They doing a split, one week she'll go Thursday and Friday and the other Wednesday also.   Nobody in my day would have dressed and done makeup and hair like that but whatever.    Riley is very upset, maybe I'll get to see him more, the only time I see him  is when she ain't in her room.    She put the extra dishes in there, not sure he has even ate out of the others set recently.   Been 2-3 days since I let him out even, oh well, he gives her someone besides a couple old people to hang out with, like those therapy dogs.

Going to go to Cosco in a bit, then back and do some kitchen stuff, pick her up at 2 and maybe a nap before supper,  went to the grocery store yesterday and carried everything in before my helper realized I was home, she can help grandma I can do it myself, just like the dishes, told her if I need her to dom them I'll ask, otherwise it's my job.   Got the BP working for me now, have not bottomed out in 3-4 days, when it's drops into the 90's over the 50's I don't have much energy.

Ahh ! ....head rushes   mother natures little buzz ....

As the song goes
" slow down you move to fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy "

Doot-in' doo-doo, feelin' groovy

Big  WIN  in Commiefornia today on the Magazine ban. Now if they can only find some ammo.

[The Trinity Kid]

Evening all.

In Idaho tonight. Tomorrow is move in day.

Too, even if there was ammo in CA (which there isn't) they would still have to wait ten days to pick it up. I'm glad I live in a free state.

Morning Coffee is up....... we have had a cooler day and night... but humidity is way up now.
I may have some pancakes later this morning.


TK south of Missoula on 93 is town called Stevensville. There is two 2 ammunition manufactures and a custom rifle builder.  During the last dry up of ammo they seemed to always have ammo there and area gunshots.  There was also a custom ammo shop in Hamilton. It has been 6 years since I have been there so they may not be in Hamilton. Point is you will find ammo there. I still have .22 and .40 cal from the other two.

Morning y'all.
Thanks for the coffee.

Fixed some fence earlier.

I have a fair stock of ammo.

Rained overnight. Humid now.

'Tis 67 and overcast. "A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible early. Morning clouds will give way to afternoon sunshine. High 78F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph."

HSM is in Stevensville, I think. I've burned a lot of their remanufactured ammo in 9mm and 223.  I have some ammo squirreled away, but I could always use more.

About to have breakfast and then hit the road for the last 3 or so hours of the drive.

Afternoon Y'all, Don't know how I did it, but I have a severely sprained ankle, Have been walking around in an air brace for it, Feeling a lot better.I decided I better mow my lawn before the big cats start hiding in it and on the 2nd time around the mower deck stopped working. Took it off and found the bearings blew up on the one side. Troybilt wants $100.00 for the assembly, FleaBay had them for $35.00 each if you bought a pair AND they have grease fittings with a 1 year warranty. Said they should be here by Friday.Y'all have a good day, I'm going to go rest my ankle.
