  1. Depends whether you have nervous riders wth you or not.😁 Wouldn't bug me but have a wife that wouldn't be too keen on the idea, and a brother who is just a nervous Nelly!! He gets uptight if I even use words like "not sure exactly" , " I think" or "maybe try" even up tight if it starts getting a little late in the day. 😄 Try to sneak out without him one in a while just to have a more relaxing day🤣😂🙂.
  2. We're pretty spoiled in this part of the country, in fact our state is actually larger than New Zealand by 44,000 Square miles. Our population is just barely over a million, I think 1.069 million. So a very rural state. Pretty much the whole western 1/3 of the state is mountainous and forested with a ton of 50" wide trails and roads that are maintained by The U.S. Forest Service. Up until a couple years ago we were able to use all of them with a permanent license plate and sticker we we bought when registering and licensing our machines. Within the last couple of years they implemented an extra trail pass sticker for each machine that we have to purchase every two years now. It's a bummer but is still reasonably priced to give us access (legally) to the trails and roads. There are those of course who will go ahead and ride without it until they get caught then claim they didn't know about it. I have some friends, well more acquaintances than friends who are doing that. To each there own I guess. I'm thankful we still, at this point, have access to the public lands.
  3. Yeah I think it's too easy to do, time passes quickly and before you know it loved ones are gone and you didn't do anything. He's 14 yrs. older was gone and in the Navy when I was 4 yrs old, after he was discharged and came home, there was such a huge age difference between him and the next brother (12 yrs) I just didn't really have any sort of relationship with them. It was like two different families, even the 6 years between my 3rd brother and I was so big that I was just a pain in the neck to him as well. Ot wasn't until I was in my mid 20's that I started connecting with them. And well into my mid to late 40's that was we were able to relate and develop our friendships. I was raising a family so that took a lot of time as well. Thankful for the relationships and time I get to spend with them now and the fact that we can share the same interest in ATV's and get out together. With failing health, will make a more concerted effort to get out more frequently. As of late have shared interest in Radio Controlled Rock crawlers. We have come across some great areas out 4 wheeling that have some awesome areas to use those. We plan on making some ATV outings this coming summer to go do that as well. One of the places we want to go is about a 10 mile ride in to some huge granite rock slabs, will be a fun outing. Hoping to talk the other two into each getting one as well. Do you get out riding much or have places you are allowed to ride?
  4. I live in Southwest Montana, most of these pics are taken about 20 miles from my house. Well, 20 miles to the trailhead, then 5-10 miles in. Some of them are at one trailhead that is about 50 miles away but all of them are in southwest Montana. Bozeman area.
  5. But do you see it as okay for those who are hard workers to work to support those who won't or have no interest in working at all? Or that work incredibly hard at taking advantage of the system that was designed to help those people who truly need a leg up to get back on their feet to being productive citizens? I'm sorry, but my motto is if you are able-bodied to work, and won't, then you shouldn't eat or be able to take part or advantage of services being rendered to those who truly need it. Just like the warming shelters here, if you want to stay in this part of the country where it gets cold, and you don't want to be a productive part of society, and........you want a warm place to lay your head for the night, the requirement should be for that person to work x amount of hours to help ease the burden of the expense of operating costs and on those who are volunteering.
  6. I understand we need to pay taxes, government doesn't run without them, I have worked for 44 years of my life on this earth. Paid taxes from every pay check I have ever earned. My struggle is the government waste, programs that support generations of families who do whatever they can to NOT work. Programs that continue to hand out to those who are unwilling to do anything to help themselves. My taxes continue to rise every year. In our area, wealthy developers are coming in build subdivisions and multi family housing subdivisions and not be responsible for any infrastructure. All improvements falling on new property owners and existing home owners, wealthy people getting richer at no cost to them. Mill levy after mill levy get past every year, for infrastructure improvements, state school programs that allow total free lunch for every student, for local city government that does nothing to take care anything above minimum amenities. And the way our state is set up, we can pay on our house for 15, 20, or 30 years, it becomes ours but we continue to have property tax, if we do not pay that tax the city or county can take it. Which takes me back to the group of the World Economic Forum, they have a so much money, taxes, gas prices, food, or anything that are an issue for us, is not an issue for them. They want the working man to be bled dry and own nothing. Therefore they retain power, we see it month after month, more and more wealth is moving in here buying up every piece of property, farm after farm getting developed, and/or becoming playgrounds for multi millionaires and billionaires. Forcing the towns and cities in our valley to build more and more multi family housing complexes, keeping people out of their open space with signs, fences, and whatever means they deem necessary. I'm sorry, I don't see how I should have to be responsible for my own bills, housing, food, fuel, internet, etc. and still pay above and beyond for those who found the easy street of sitting on their butts with assisted energy payments, free internet, free lunches for their kids, reduced housing costs, and being bombarded with ad after ad for local assistance programs for warming shelters, free healthcare or assisted healthcare programs for those living on the streets. You know what? It gets cold here. If you don't have a roof over your head and not working, migrate to where it doesn't get as cold. Money talks and has power. Those with boatloads of money control.
  7. Amazed at how much power the wealthy have and what they can control because of that wealth. The arrogance of how they should be the only ones to have, and to exist. That they can have people like Trudeau in their pockets.
  8. This an interesting listen if you have the time. https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucG9kY2FzdG9uZS5jb20vcG9kY2FzdD9jYXRlZ29yeUlEMj0xOTMw/episode/MWYzYjFhNzktNTkxYi00OTFhLTlmMmYtYWU1MDAwNmRiZmE3?ep=14
  9. 🤣😂 Hmmmm..... no snow here either, we got ours, zero cases zero worry. And I thought the antagonism was gone, wrong again Randy.
  10. Is that what you were spoonfed today? I'm sure the CBC is keeping you well informed. Are you even seeing what is going on in your own House of Commons? And again I'll say the words that you are so familiar with "Enjoy YOUR alternate universe"
  11. Make sure you watch the videos in the first link, that guy is a real Gem should be proud to have him at the helm! Really knows how to rally the troops. https://youtu.be/9xS_voz7fWAhttps://youtu.be/9xS_voz7fWAhttps://youtu.be/9xS_voz7fWA Here's random tweet in the comments of the above link, sure this person is a violent terrorist. "I am saddened that Trudeau didn't even talk to the truckers...and that to me is a great SHAME and shows tremendous lack of leadership...He CHOSE to let it get this big, he CHOSE to be put in a corner, he CHOSE to invoke the Emergencies Act, and he is CHOOSING to name call his own constituents. Grew up in Canada until I was 24 and looking now, I'd never recognize the anti-religion and anti-freedom nation it has become.."

  13. Going on in Canada's House of Commons, I see Justin is gaining lots of friends in the House of Commons. What a dandy!!! https://www.foxnews.com/world/canada-house-commons-erupts-after-trudeau-accuses-first-jewish-woman-mp-supporting-swastikas https://youtu.be/9xS_voz7fWAhttps://youtu.be/9xS_voz7fWAhttps://youtu.be/9xS_voz7fWA
  14. If you don't want to listen, turn the volume down and at least watch the images.
  15. Oh, by the way you still didn't address any of the questions🤔
  16. I made a statement, and I guess I was inclined to believe that you would have known that I was talking about our Declaration of Independence, and why our forefathers left the tyrannical oppression they faced. But no, not only did you immediately attack my person, but assumed that that I don't know the history of my own country's origin. I certainly don't need a history lesson from you. Yes I'm sure there were some that left for economic reasons, but the majority left for freedom. I found it interesting that you never once addressed any of the questions I asked up above, but I'm sure that everyone up there that wants to think for themselves are all terrorists and want to start a revolution. I am amazed, and certainly shouldn't be, at the lengths to which your tyrannical dictator leadership is going to because of the opposition they are seeing. They must me worried about something in order to be silencing the voices that are speaking out. We have schools in California one of the most liberal states here, that parents have had enough of their kids wearing masks and are repealing the election of school board members who are mandating masks. Mask mandates are being lifted. The DNC is getting very concerned here, we have liberals who are holding signs saying "Dear Democratic party you lost me at mandate, sincerely a lifelong liberal" Buckle up!!!
  17. As you are so familiar with these words......."Enjoy YOUR alternate universe" I don't think they(truckers) are as much of a minority as you perceive or hope them to be. They are standing up because of the dictatorship you're living under. Why did the police chief in Ottawa resign? Why are RCMP officers posting videos in support of the truckers? Why would they support people that are supposed insurrectionists? Why would officers be giving up careers and not wanting to carry out orders they know in their hearts are wrong and unconstitutional in your country? Is that because they are just conservative idiots? When does a person's conscience finally say enough and stand up for what is right and are finally tired of being a lemming and being told what to think? Why is it a bad thing to question those who lead who are controlling so many aspects of peoples lives? That's how the United States was founded. People were being controlled to the point they left where they were. It wasn't good enough that they left and went away from England to get away from control and religious persecution, they(England) had to come here and try to continue to control them. There have been a lot of men that have died for the freedoms we enjoy in this country, I would think Canada has benefited in certain ways as well because of the independence and strength the U.S. has had. I'm sorry we don't fit into your cookie cutter spectrum, that doesn't mean we, and the conservatives in your country are all wrong. I can't believe I keep checking into this thread, whether it is for entertainment purposes or what. Those working class truckers are real men who are not going to roll over and say "Please sir may I have another?" They Should be supported by any means possible, God bless them for the stand they are taking for themselves and those that don't have a voice or platform to do so. Do you not believe in freedom of speech and the freedom to think for yourself?
  18. Been on some other forums and sure is a breath of fresh air to see some other Canadians that have a healthy perspective of the situation going on there, of course I'm sure they are of the teeny tiny nut job right wing minority ya'all are talking about. Seems they are part of the same alternate universe!!!!! Hmmmmm.... imagine that! ...
  19. Good grief! Sure is scary how violent those and destructive those truckers have been! Don't turn your back Dave, you could be next. Why you ask? Because you might have something that somebody that hasn't done an honest days work in their life doesn't have and Trudeau might figure they need it worse than you do.
  20. Looks like Trudeau ordering bank accounts to be frozen is a pretty clear picture of how your system works.
  21. We all have our perspectives dont we Dave? I think I had mentioned that neither of us will convince the other to see ours or us your perspective. I'm sorry that it has to resort to name calling and belittling when others disagree with a point of view. This has been an interesting read over the last couple of weeks. I would wager a guess that lack of response to JR'S posts doesn't necessarily mean disagreement with him. I hope, sincerely, that you stay well and healthy and the same for us.
  22. And the CBC is credible??? Just as twisted as CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC.
