Early this morning I created a post about what I did yesterday and how days typically go living a tax deductible life...well the post disappeared. IDK what happened to it, so I'm trying again. Yesterday afternoon Steve and I went in to Sturgis. I hadn't had a chance to wander around yet so we drove down to Main Street and roamed in and out of all the shops. There were some really cool pieces, a lot of leftover from 2025 and before Sturgis Rally items, a few restaurants, a few bars, a couple tattoo shops and a couple leather shops. I definitely found a few pair of boots that told me I should get back to work and Steve wants a couple of the Dixxon flannels (they have some designs only available in Sturgis). I definitely saw some items worth putting on eBay if I was so inclined (I'm not). I realized about half way through the walk that I should have taken video, I even had the GoPro in the Jeep. We wandered through a small antique store which was cool. They had a ton of antler sheds and what looked like a real stuffed mountain lion. I said something to Steve about bringing it back for the dogs but I really didn't want to clean up any mess-whether it be the stuffed mountain lion or the dogs being scared of it and 💩. Steve needed to take his allergy meds, so we went into Gas Monkey Bar & Grill Sturgis. Had a great vibe. We were there early for a Friday, so not a bunch of people yet. They have outdoor seating and great big garage time doors that were rolled up inviting the outside in. Like I said it was a truly beautiful day! https://gasmonkeysturgis.com/ While we were there we had a few drinks and met some great people. One of those people was Mark Newton from Baja Street Dogs. Mark runs this non-profit mostly from Mexico. Currently registered in Cali, Mark is moving residency and the non profit to SD, much the same thing I am doing. We talked extensively about the operation currently and the designs for the future. It is highly likely Steve and I will be involved through multiple avenues going forward. We also got to meet several of the dogs-he was traveling with 21 in the short bus he was driving: Hunter a 14 year old very large lab whose 80 year old dad passed away and the son brought the dog to a kill shelter. 😡😡🤬🤬
