A young hero taken too soon. Getting to know Texas DPS Trooper Kevin Ramirez Vasquez through his memorial service was truly an honor. The love, respect, and condolences of the state of Montana delivered in a reverent salute.

My @Montanaknifeco Wargoat came out of the sheath today. Cutting police tape isn't asking much of it, but it performed admirably. 🤣 For real though, investing in dependable tools is important. Made in Montana. Used in Montana. 🇺🇲

Before we kick off a new season, let's celebrate last year's Big Sky Conference title! Get in your seats early for a special championship rings ceremony! #GoGriz

It's getting pretty western out here on Montana's roadways. Remember, as this fresh snow falls, it is landing on a road deck that has been in a deep freeze. Conditions are rapidly changing. So.... dont rapidly drive. #mtwx #mtdot

It is currently colder in Lewistown, MT than it is in Antarctica. (-30 vs -23) Don't drive. Stay home. #CentralMT #StayWarm

Trooper TJ reporting in from Hoth. -20 without wind chill. The tauntauns are behaving themselves. Another great day to be a Trooper.

Sunday PSA: Seatbelts still work. Tried to get out of the car with my belt on. Nope. Can confirm. Seatbelt held firm. Seatbelt 1 Trooper 0

We also discuss not needing a law for every decision they make. That being said, what laws may need revision? Their responses are incitful and encouraging.

I field a lot of thoughtful questions while teaching defensive driving to teenagers. I often respond with, "You shouldn't be asking yourself if it is legal or not, you should ask if it is smart." I know, i know. It's a dad type answer, but they need that empowerment. Thoughts?

Texas was a great host to our Montana Grizzlies. Wasn't the outcome we wanted, but this experience was an incredible bookend to an amazing season. Proud fan. Proud dad. Thanks Frisco. We'll be back. #GoGriz

Montana has invaded Texas. #GoGriz #WeBelieve

GO GRIZ! #WeBelieve #UpWithMontana
