bob timm: This IS Unusual
- 09/23/19 08:30 AM
Normally at this time of year in Minot North Dakota the yards and the country prairie are golden brown. Normally mowing the yard at this time of year is a chore reserved for those who have a lawn sprinkler system.
Not so this year!
Roosevelt & Oak Parks
Much of the area had experienced drought conditions for several years so this has been great for them to replenish the subsoil moisture levels but it's sure raising heck for farmers today who would like to get their crops in before it freezes and starts snowing (which could happen any day in North Dakota).

bob timm: Get Your European Car Serviced at MBM Imports
- 09/20/19 05:26 AM
Gene Miller has owned MBM Auto in Minot ND for over 40 years. He knows European cars! This small shop in Minot has a BIG reputation for quality work for those who drive European vehicles. I love visiting with Gene. When we do interviews I feel like I'm part of "Click & Clack", what a great show that was! Listen in. With only 15 minutes I had to cut out a lot of the joking but it's still a very fun interview.

bob timm: More Local Sporting News with Andy Carter at MSU
- 09/17/19 06:58 AM
Andy and I have never been able to contain our conversations to the 15 minutes of air time allowed for the Minot Today Radio program. Our last conversation followed that past pattern BUT we did actually manage to get it down to two programs. Here is part two of two of our latest conversation.

bob timm: Minot State University Athletics, Andy Carter 2019
- 09/06/19 06:03 AM
Andrew V. Carter
Director of Athletics, Minot State University
When Andy and I get together it's had to put the breaks on our conversation at the 15 minute mark that I'm allotted over the air. Andy's enthusiasm always gets me going. I'm sure it's that enthusiasm that super motivates his coaching staff and players. I find Andy to be a true "motivational" speaker. I'm sure you too will think this is one of the fastest 15 minutes you've spent listening to Minot Today.

bob timm: A Cool Idea.
- 09/02/19 06:59 PM
This little display is on top of a counter at our Christian book store.
I thought it was a unique idea but the owner openly admits that it was not her idea but she liked it and thought it was worthy of copying. I agree with her. I took one and put it on my desk even though I don't need a reminder to pray for our troops while my daughter is heading for basic training tomorrow.

bob timm: A LABOR of Love
- 09/02/19 08:06 AM
The Timm family is using this special day to enjoy Tin's company before she heads off to Basic Training tomorrow.
We have been fortunate to have her home for the summer (from college) although much of the time she has been working two jobs in an effort to pay off her student loans.
She has truly "labored" all summer and today is one of the very few she has not worked one or both of her jobs.
Tomorrow she heads to Milwaukee as that is her home base for the Air National Guard (she was/is going to the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design). From … (22 comments)

bob timm: Oh NO! Say It Isn't So.
- 09/01/19 06:58 PM
I've bragged about what a fine newspaper Minot ND has ever since I moved here and nothing will change that opinion (unless they switch to a liberal slant) BUT I'm really bummed with the announcement that starting Saturday 09/06/2019 they will no longer be a 7 day a week news source.
The Sunday paper has always been a big part of my Sunday morning. As an early riser (5:50 am 7 days a week) it's a great way to prepare for coffee conversation at church. The Sunday paper sets my agenda for "Daddy Disneyland" as my daughter likes to call Menards & … (10 comments)

- 08/16/19 05:59 AM
It's hard to miss the Dakota Boy's & Girl's Ranch Thrift Store on Broadway but it's easy to be unaware of the GREAT work they support. This organization has made a positive difference in a countless number of young men's and women's lives. Take 14 minutes to learn about this amazing ministry and how you can be a part of it.

bob timm: Sloth-Alon.... it'ssss baaaack.
- 08/14/19 08:21 AM
It's back & this year I'm In!
A sleepy, silly, spry, scintillating, sassy, stupendous, and slothy (late)morning of shenanigans. (Two) beers, coffee, doughnuts, games, swag and prizes brought to you by the fun-loving Minot Lions Club. Costumes and craziness provided by yourself and your friends!
Starting at Ben's Tavern and trekking ALL the way to Arny's 2.0 (it's about a half a kilometer and you walk, crawl or maybe a less-sloth-like friend would pull you in a wagon?) The best way to spend your morning before enjoying the Downtown Festival on Main!

bob timm: POEM, a Very Unique Storefront.
- 08/08/19 11:14 AM
Rarely do I walk into a storefront and am "Wowed" but I sure was by POEM of Minot. I was greeted by James Adams who gave me a full tour and it didn't take long to realize that POEM and James were both amazing. It's no wonder however as James clued me in on the brains behind POEM. Please listen in, I believe you will be surprised at the story James tells.

I've been learning a lot through my recent membership in Toastmasters International. I am really excited to be a new member even though my professional career days are now pretty much behind me. I figure it's never to late to learn to be a better communicator. I ran across this video in the online magazine today and found the 9 minutes spent were worth GOLD! Anyone who speaks to clients should make this a must listen!

bob timm: Who Killed Kale?
- 08/04/19 05:19 AM
Who Killed Kale?
Every obituary is a loss or even a tragedy. It was sad to read about Kale Schaan on July 24th, 2019 in the Minot Daily’s obituary section. Kale was a very promising and talented young man. My hats off to the family for openly calling attention to the fact that Kale’s demise was due to a struggle with addiction.
Who killed Kale? Some may say he did it to himself as an addict and there is some truth to that but it’s not the whole truth... so help me God.
I say the answer also lies in the pages of the Minot Daily News.

bob timm: The Boys of Summer. Go Sabre Dogs!
- 07/31/19 06:53 PM
It wouldn't be summer with out The Boys of Summer. I've written several posts over the years about the historic base ball field across the street from my home, Corbett Field. The famous Satchel Page was a member of Minot's local team, The Mallards, back in the day.
Today Corbett Field is home to The Souris Valley Sabre Dogs. The dogs are just wrapping up their 2nd year here in Minot and I couldn't be happier that this team plays right across the street from my home (also that my son Timmothy is an employee of The Sabre Dogs).

bob timm: When You Live With 9 Months of Winter...
- 07/31/19 08:16 AM
Enjoy Your Summer!
Of course North Dakota is not covered with snow 9 months of the year but it often seems that way to me. When Spring gives way to Summer the hardest thing to do is to balance chores with pleasure (have you noticed that I blog a lot less in our 3 months of summer?). In honor of those 3 months (June - July - August) here are 3 of my favorite things about Summer.
While we do seem to manage to grill about 6 months of the year grilling and picnics rate highly among my summer pleasures. The picture below was … (10 comments)
