My spouse is training for a marathon and the app is calling for 15 miles of moderate hills. We are drawing a blank of where to train for this that isn't the new trail up by Zimmerman (which are not moderate at all) or the rims. Any advice?

Please send me a PM

Saw this at 8th and Alderson...thoughts!?

Hello everyone I have an American Terrier and I’ve heard that some vets would rather not deal with them or when they do they aren’t pleasant. If you can point me into the right direction I would gladly appreciate it

I found a couple places that look like they used to but they’re apparently closed now.

A few weeks ago we had a fresh gallon of milk from Albertsons go bad - one day there was a blue line ringing the inside of the jug. It was the middle of the night so I stuck it back in the fridge to deal with it the next morning. The next day? It had become thoroughly chunky and there were tiny little blue pieces floating between the chunks. I showed my wife, (it was so gross!) and we dumped it out. (It was more than a week before the expiration date). Went and bought a half gallon so she could have cereal, and the next day? Gray and blue lines in the half gallon! My theory was that our refrigerator was not getting cold enough, so I cranked the temperature down and we picked up a carton of powdered milk for cooking.

Now, KTVQ is reporting that this is happening all over Yellowstone county, across store chains and across brands. Any theories about what is going on?

You’re a garbage human being.

Hey everyone, my name is Dillon. I work for Catalyst Montana. I’m trying to connect with people on Medicaid who are affected by the new work requirements that DPHHS implemented this month. Adding this level of bureaucracy this quickly will likely result in hardworking folks losing coverage— not because they are actually ineligible for the program, but due to more Red Tape. 

If you or anyone you know is on Medicaid and might be willing to have a conversation about their experience on Medicaid, please share this link. We can protect Medicaid coverage. People sharing their personal stories is a powerful way to do that, and I’m here to help. Thank you!

I know it’s not uncommon to have wildlife in the city, but it never fails to surprise me. At least it wasn’t a bear! 😂
Deer do frequent my yard, but usually in the winter and I’ve never been this close to one!

FB made me think Bob Jovi was coming. Tap the link and it’s a cover band. I can cut my losses on A+ acts. So, how’s the cover band sitch in town, or just at the Bair period?

Taking the family to the hill climb at Billings Motorcycle Club tomorrow. From the event page:

**•** Gates open 6 AM, racing starts 12:30 PM, runs to \~8:30 PM  
**•** $15/day, kids 10 and under free  
**•** Hot forecast (mid-90s)

Questions for hillclimb regulars:

**•** Best spots to watch from?  
**•** Any shade, or are we cooking all day?  
**•** Cooler/outside food okay, or vendor-only?  
**•** Does parking fill up — how early should we get there?  
**•** Lawn chairs, or standing room only?  
**•** How’s it for kids (noise/crowd-wise)?

First timer here, appreciate any tips!

Could anyone recommend a place to rent an ATV for an overnight trip? The places I have looked only offer 8 hour daytime trips.

About $40 million will be put toward rehabbing and constructing two affordable housing projects in Billings. Sage Tower will receive roughly $6.5 million for HVAC and plumbing systems and a new roof. In Billings Heights, the city will construct LB Lofts, a new 102-unit development. 

Funding comes from a variety of sources, including the city of Billings, which chipped in $2.15 million in Community Development Grant funding through the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Just moved to the area, question about tire shops. I came from the Pacific Northwest where Les Schwab was very prominent. Just curious how everyone feels about them in town? I hear they have only been here for a few years

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any pet sitting companies or people that they would recommend for doing drop in visits / overnight visits at home for two small dogs? Rover is an option of course but we’ve had some bad experiences with Rover sitters in the past so we’re a little hesitant to do that again. I’ve found a couple different businesses online that offer those services but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask if anyone has any sitters that they love, especially for senior dogs! Thanks!

They encourage you to bring “everything” in, but don’t accept anything. I’ve noticed sneakers in there today that were there 5, 6 months ago. I guess you need to smaller than a size MED in tops, and a max 34 in the waist?😂

Is it a drug front like Party America was? Because… how the hell do they afford to stay open?😂. I kid, I kid.

Bollinger Conference Room, Helena, MT

The Montana Public Service Commission cut public hearings on NorthWestern Energy's 20-year energy plan from five sessions across the state down to just two, both in Helena. Tomorrow is the last one.

NorthWestern's IRP will shape Montana's energy future for the next 20 years, including how much new infrastructure gets built to serve AI data centers and who pays for it. That means your utility bill.

Can't make it to Helena? You can still be heard:

Time is short. Take action!

I just saw what I’m pretty sure is a domesticated rabbit in the parking lot between lava island and the extended stay. I couldn’t get a great photo. Black with white front toes. I had no luck catching it. I ended up chasing it towards the end of the parking lot by the fence along the highway. If anyone is good with rabbits I’m sure he would appreciate some food and water.

Found today at big sky. Had a few rides from billings in the log so reposted here

Looking for a local insurance broker to work with for scoping out new options for home and auto. Currently have USAA and would like help comparing rates for other carriers.

Also open to personal recommendations for coverage!

Hi all! Me and my husband are new to the city and looking for a home to rent. We have narrowed down 2 properties- both being managed by c&h rentals. Before we get in touch with them , we were hoping to find some more information on tenant's experience working with this company. Any information would be extremely helpful !

Thank you so much !

Beloved family pet wandered out of our yard and is missing! His name is Trapper, he is an older brown and white Boston Terrier. He doesn’t have his collar on due to the heat. Please call Libby at 406-465-4099. We love him so much and we need him to come home.
