What is the down right stupidest thought is : lets shut down, social distance, wear masks & "do what the Govt tells us" - really, ef them & those who think like that, at 41 I had open heart triple by pass surgery - I dont even act like it happened, I work harder than many, at 51 im in house renovation mode, I ride my bike, play harder than I work, Ill be damned if that didnt kill me if Im gonna sit life out till some politically created BS virus that no one even knows the full extent of its capabilities is gonna hold me back - oh so you know people who died from the Virus - I dont & personally I question if the virus did it or if underlying causes were to blame, Life is not fair & people pay the price for many things not of their doing, you fearful ones stay home & outta my way im gonna enjoy life cause its to short to live on standby.

oh & some food for thought - so we all shut down, we wear our lil masks, we social distance for what 3, 6, 9 months & as long as ONE - yes ONE MF`er has covid - it starts all over again!!!!! then what oh - yeah the vaccine, you dont think they already have one????? pahlease - let it run its course & after the election we give it to em & who ever wins the WH is a hero & that party is the greatest thing ever.

Im sick of the frightful few wanting to tell me how to go through life - telling me to do the right thing by wearing a mask, social distancing & being a good tax paying dumb ***, time to give Washington an enema & start again.
Bam. Stated perfectly.

A couple of random shots, the 'StoneHouse saloon'


. A body shot at 'The Dungeon Bar'.

If you've paying attention, SD's COVID-19 numbers have (likely) peaked and are on the way back down to pre-Sturgis numbers (yawn).

I wear a mask every time I go out in public.

There are two reasons I do this:

One is because I don't want to get this virus because once you get it, it stays with you for life - like other viruses - and scientists are just beginning to figure out the long-term effects.

The OTHER REASON I WEAR A MASK is because I DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT TO OTHER PEOPLE if I have it and don't know it!

IS THAT TOO F---ING MUCH TO ASK?

AND WHY THE F--K IS THAT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND??
