September 6, 2012 The Bed-a-thon at Mattress Land U.S.A. is Friday at 3 p.m. with the first ever "Bed-dominos" happening at 6 p.m. I am honored to be the one who gets to push the first mattress over.
September 4, 2012 You will notice a little cooler temperature today and for the rest of the work week actually. 70's and 80's primarily. With that said keep in mind the Gazette reports that Red Flag warnings are still in place:
While the temperatures will be cooler, that doesn't mean the summer's seemingly-endless streak of dangerous fire weather is over. The NWS has issued a red flag warning for the lower half of Eastern Montana, from Billings to the east, until 9 p.m., cautioning of low humidity and gusty winds of as much as 30 mph before a wind shift hits as a cold front moves into the area.
August 31, 2012 Your long, 3-day weekend is about to begin. What to do? Don't let anybody tell you there is nothing to do in Billings over the Labor Day Weekend! Check this list out!

July 27, 2012 The hot temperatures continue to keep things dry. A wild fire in Columbus started at 6 p.m. on July 25. The fire has been named the Skibstad Fire. By dusk the fire had spread to 600 to 800 acres near the Shane Creek area. Evacuation notices were given to Shane Creek residents. Horses were move to the Keyser Creek Arena at 390 Rapelje Road. The cause of the Skibstad
July 17, 2012 Keri and I enjoyed just sitting on the porch last night taking in the 40 minute shower on the West end of Billings! Yes our driveway flooded but the water didn't reach the house. Ed McIntosh from Q-2 said Billings Logan field had an official 0.23 of an inch but the west end National Weather Service recorded
0.73!
July 12, 2012 Look what has cleared up!
A couple of days before last weeks holiday a water main broke on about 5th and Broadwater and there has been a nice swerve over detour set up. On my way back from lunch I noticed the detour cones were gone and the hole was filled in. Water must be running good now. That takes care of part of our Billings road construction. Now there is a bottleneck in downtown Billings on Montana Avenue and 31st street as well as the on-going work over by the Chamber of Commerce. The work on Montana Avenue will be going on until about
June 28, 2012 Montana's largest wild fire is now up to about 19,000 acres with hundreds of evacuees including animals in the area. I was watching KULR-8 last night and as of 10:30 p.m. on June 27 the Dahl fire is 0% contained!
June 27, 2012 After hearing of the grass fire on the afternoon of June 26 and then hearing it is over 10,000 acres later that night, my first thought was for the residents of that area. Now it has become a true wild fire! Then you turn the T.V. news on and see horses running out onto the highway to escape the flames and black, billowing smoke that covered highway 87!
